Problem with smaller gigs is you are listening to great sounding $4000 in ears but the audience is listening to your sound coming out of a shitty pair of Behringer (or worse) PA speakers.

Bad FOH can kill a gig!

Great vid, it's crazy how far tech has come

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

Totally! I'm amazed by what tech can do these days! Thanks for your comment!

[@martinheath5947]

I believe there's now a mat you can stand on that silently transmits speaker vibration up your legs through your feet. Never tried one but makes a lot more sense in this situation, especially if tinnitus has ever been an issue.

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

I've heard of them. Would love to try one someday!

Sounds expensive

[@losriosprofundos2113]

Playing with a drummer with a traditional trap set usually means having to play at high volume. Do these IEMs block out enough noise to protect your hearing?

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

Easily! I’ve been using them when I’m stood by front of house, drummers etc and been fine. And because you can feel the sound I actually find I don’t need to drive them as hard. You can adjust the level of noise canceling too between -8db and -16db (I believe) if you get one of the add ons and I think a higher level of cancellation is coming too. If you use IEM’s a lot it’s a game changer!

[@losriosprofundos2113]

@@OnlineBassGuitar1 It would be interesting to see a video about how you set it up. Are your IEMs plugged into the mixer or maybe into a monitor?

[@bobmorgan6333]

Haven't horn players been using conductive IEM'S for years now?

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

Oh have they? I hadn’t realised that. Most of the horn players I work with seem to favour headphones with a one ear on, one ear off approach. I’d be really curious to know about their IEM’s though. Do you know any brands they favour?

[@bobmorgan6333]

@@OnlineBassGuitar1 Kinera is the brand ringing a bell but to be honest I try not to listen to the brass section too often 🤣

[@mickhh85]

To save anyone else the trouble, this is essentially an advertisement for $4000 in-ear monitors. No real advice or input on alternatives to bass amps...

[@hydraulixx]

Sure, IEM works and it's good at that. Don't get me wrong. But nothing beats an Ampeg SVT stack rumbling and pushing a lot of air behind you on rock/metal shows. Music is about feeling after all... TL;DR: "it depends..."

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

Hahaha yes it depends for sure!

[@gerryatrix74]

The physical feeling comes from the speaker making your feet hover and your body sensation allowing play by braille😁🤘🏻🤘🏻and the tinnitus is, well, tolerable... im over 60...

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

Haha great to know you're still playing!

[@markdavis4754]

totally depends on the type of gigs your playing.

[@hydraulixx]

This really is the answer.

[@OnlineBassGuitar1]

Absolutely! An investment like this has to suit you as a player.
