Question: I need a mixer to run 4 mics, two acoustic guitars and provide outs to two powered mains and three powered monitors (two front stage and 1 for the drummer).

Will this run the monitors? I’m not seeing xlr monitor outs on this or any similar products. How would I hook up the monitors?

Please keep this conversation going here.  I'm about to be in the market for exactly the same set up.    And T-Bone, I still owe you those pictures.  I'll get them tonight at practice.

Speaking of those wounds. I loaned that Telecaster I assembled to a friend in Texas before I left the last time I was there. His band is opening for the Turnpike Troubadors this weekend and he asked if he could borrow it for that show. He thinks its one of the best Telecasters he's played.

Here's me jamming on it with him a few weeks ago.

 

Who is he?   I saw where Charley Crockett just had open heart surgery, so was wondering who was opening for TT.

This is stuff I’m buying. So I can make sure it matches.

 

Just looking for a setup that we can use to provide our own equipment for a small space if we need to. Drums and amps would not be miked. And for rehearsals. We already have most of the stuff just need a better mixer and monitors.

 

What monitors and mains are you buying?  Already have?  

[AnotherUTFan 10031]

Just a small local band.

I didn't hear that about Charlie Crockett. I only recently got into him when I recieved a copy of his album for my Birthday.

[tbone_ 14521]

We already have two powered JBL mains. And 4ch mixer and mics. Getting new monitors and a new mixer.

[hullabelew 3732]

Any idea what you are going to use for monitors? 

Edited February 12, 2019 by hullabelew

[tbone_ 14521]

No. I have to figure that out based on what will work with whatever mixer I decide to get.

Similar to the photo I've picked out if I ever put an album together.

"Melancholy and the Infinite Fatness." I think you can tell which dog is which.

You could title the album "Guitars and Bitches"

Click if you want to see Scotty Anderson murder a blackguard (maybe).

Tapa is neat and works well.

The Gibson Custom Shop Joe Perry Signuature Les Paul.

Interesting. 2 point tremelo and single pickup. Perry says it's the best of a Les Paul and Straticaster combined.

I have that Wilkonson trem on my Jazzocaster.  It's really responsive, and never goes out of tune.  Even when I'm doing my best (horrible) EVH impression.

[Grandioso 2592]

Man, this is such a stupid, brilliant little product.

One pickup is weird 

[Deej 78026]

Not on a Jr. or an Esquire. On a proper LP body, really odd.

[hullabelew 3732]

Which color of Gretsch. The bigger hollow body.
First pic. Bottom row. Red or Orange. Pic 2. Blue.
Pic 3. Bottom row. Light Green. I really like that dark green color in the middle row but not the guitar I want.

I'm having the tune-a-matic replaced with a roller bridge on whatever I decide on.

Pic 4. That white with gold hardware is striking but again, not the model I want.

[AnotherUTFan 10031]

Orange is the classic Gretsch color, followed by Cadillac Green.

[Deej 78026]

Orange.

[Bogeywon 2549]

Blue

[Bogeywon 2549]

for all the tele lovers 

[ohchaucer 1444]

I love Gretsch orange. I love orange for the obvious reasons we all likely share an affinity. Hell, I played a traffic cone-colored fuck-yo-retinas-in-this-dark-club custom orange sparkle drum kit off and on for 10 years. 

But that green is fuckin' smoooooove, my man. 

[Buzzrock 15197]

We talked about Charlie Hunter right? Check this thing out:

[Buzzrock 15197]

Inspiration is where you find it

[tbone_ 14521]

Bass boat blue ftw

[Grandioso 2592]

Acceptable. Gold hardware works with white and sherwoody dark metallic-ish green. End of list. I really don't even like it with black, which ought to work with everything.

You might be able to pull off some kind of crown-royal bag dark purple with gold though. I'd need to see it.

The Les Paul in the middle is looking at you with the stink eye.

[Grandioso 2592]

It's right on the edge for me. I mean, it's not UGLY, just not optimal. I was intrigued by these MIJ blackout strats but the gold hardware didn't work for me.

Definitely looks better on a Les Paul.

[Deej 78026]

Chills. Love Don Rich.

 

[noharleyyet 2866]

Washing machine white ftw...

[jimmyjazz 47455]

An orange Gretsch is like a red Ferrari -- it's never wrong.

But I sure like that light green . . .

[Buzzrock 15197]

Purple PRS would like a word as well

Hey tbone how much do you play your frankentele?

[BoomMF 1402]

Lost cat. Goes by the name Saxon. Last seen in the music room.

No reward.

[tbone_ 14521]

Hey tbone how much do you play your frankentele?

Not that much honestly. But not because it isn’t a good guitar. It’s just more that since I’ve had my strat, Les Paul, and tele dialed in so well by my guy here they are very hard to pass up.

It’s a great guitar though. Awesome tone from those old bill Lawrence’s.

The purple is much nicer in person.

So we can expect pics... End of week? 

"Thinking of buying...." Followed by for-my-kid rationalizing (give or take 7 years). This ain't any of our first rodeos. 

Hey, wait, I have a four year old daughter. Dammit. Where's my wallet?

[Grandioso 2592]

 

[Deej 78026]

Try to play for an hour and shitty hand turned into this...
 

Note the nice indentation where bone used to be.  FML.

That happened to me while playing a gig at an oilfield in the Patagonia. True story. Launched into La Bamba and my left hand fucking curled into a tendonitic ball.

 

I got over it.

Chad, just busting your chops because I don't have a single story that starts with, "Did I ever tell you about the time I was playing a gig at a Patagonia oilfield?"
