wireless in-ear monitors vs. full bass rig

[TSanders]

How about this, use both.

When I tour, i'm usually running a GK 1001RB-II and a GK Neo 212. As for as my ears, I run a Shure PSM600 pack with Westone UM-2 ears. In all honesty, I don't think you can beat having both. Sometimes i'll pop one ear out just to have that cab clarity in my ear.

I agree with react. My UM-2s give GREAT bass response. Just a huge sound in my head. Although, it's just not the same if you can't feel the bass.


That's just me though.

Well, a lot of my response is the same because its with the same band. The band Andrew is touring with is a band that I toured/recorded with for around 5 years before leaving to focus on another band. (TTV, Andrew)

While I was using using in ears, I ran wired Shure PSM 600s with E5 ear buds. It was a love/hate thing. Initailly, I used just the in ears with a Line 6 Bass Pod Pro (we were trying to eliminate all possible stage sound). I simply COULD NOT STAND not FEELING bass on stage. A short while after I got the green light to get an amp/cab back on stage and thats when I began to like the in ears. I favored one in and one out. That way I could clearly hear everything in my in ear and still hearing some live bass/drums/etc.

I was hoping you would chime in, Travis.

Figured your insight would be near the same yet a bit more informative than mine.

It depends on where your playing, when you have subs underneath the stage and the house cranked, You can feel all the bass you want.

in Ears

I use the Shure E5's and they are ok, The UE-10's are the best out there, but either way Bass Amp over In Ears, I like both ways,
The only drag is, I use the custom fit and sometimes you'll walk off forgetting to take them out til you realize they're still in.
