Ok i have got 4 crate monitors 12s and a horn and there set up with a daisy chaine and i went and got 4 monitors from a friend today for 150$ and there ev/tapco there also 12s with a horn but they have no hook ups my question is does anyone know how to put a volume in a monitor ? is it like the way you wire a guitar ? the reason i ask is my bass player said his monitor drowns hem out . we have tryed to turn hem down with the board but it gets to low when we play live and the sound man kill everyones monitors when he messes with it can any one help ?

You would need an atteuator to handle the amplifier power, and they are expensive...
You CANNOT just put a volume pot in a line with speaker level current...
BTW, the bass player has bass comming through a monitor ??
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard...
His monitor should be his amp, nothing more...
If he can't hear himself through that, he needs to adjust his frequencies, and/or stand by his amp...
Maybe just get a new bass player...
This guy sounds like a pain in the ass, and he probably sucks...

And I meant attenuator...
Like, a Marshall power brake, or a Scholz Power Soak...
Those ase attenuators that can safely handle power and can be used in the application you mentioned above, not just for reducing the volume of a guitar amp...Comment

What kind of bass amp is he using?
Like Elvis mentioned, it sounds like he needs to adjust his eq a bit or just turn up his volume on his amp. That's a big problem in a lot of bands...They have no clue on eq'ing for a live performance. People always want to crank the bass frequencies up...especially on a guitar, and they don't realize that once the drums kick in those frequencies are gone.Comment

And sound like CRAP to the crowd...
I occasionally do sound locally and people look at me funny when I turn the bass almost off!Comment

Not the bass player, of course, the bass on the board, on almost every instrument and vocal...Comment

Is that what leads to separate drum & bass sessions; in order to EQ?Originally posted by BrownSound1 once the drums kick in those frequencies are gone.sigpicComment

I personally sound check them together...
If that's what you mean...Comment

Actually, I was talking about albums/CDs titled "drum & bass sessions" but yes, sound checking is a session!

He is got a gallien - krueger 700rb-ll head with a 4 10 cab and a 1 15 cab and he runs a digitech pedal i don't know what one he just sets up his tone with it . Im playing drums in this band and when he plays its like i don't have a kick drum . His stack is always right beside me and i try to turn hem down but as we play he just turns up and up . We only run the vocals and the guitars ( not the bass ) in the monitors and he bitchs because he cant hear hisself over the monitors but if we turn down to where he wants it we (the rest of us ) cant heart shit ! Elvis come on to wv and ill give you job we play almost every weekend , you could make some easy money and all the beer you can drink .Originally posted by BrownSound1

I quit drinking beer three years ago and I'm a nurse who works 16hrs every saturday and sunday...
I turned down a band in New Orleans recently...
I would suggest running the bass through the monitors and cutting the low frequency off...
He also needs to play with a much less bassy sound...
I'll bet he sounds terrable from far away...
That, or people complain they don't hear any bass...Comment
