Travis - technical point.. the GLXD16+ is dual band 2.4G (not 2.8 as shown at 2:24) and 5.8G. Yes, it matters because 2.4G is extremely cluttered in most venues. That it lets you chose either band or auto-select is the best part!
Fully support the DI, honestly it's been the biggest game changer in my rig. I picked up a Darkglass B7K Ultra v2 a few years back, and have it set emulating an Orange cab and it's fantastic.
I’m a fan of the SansAmp! I used to bring my Fender Rumble Stage 800 to church to play through, but after I got a SansAmp, I just plug that into the PA and an old Fender 100 Watt amp that is my church’s house amp. The SansAmp makes everything sound better, to include my Fender Rumble 200.
Here's a thing that many bass players will need at some point, a DAW on a good laptop. Protools is pretty standard, but other platforms are popular. At some point, someone you're working for will want to send you files of a tune they're working on and need you to put your bass on it. Just a matter of time. Appreciate you as always Travis. ✌
The most important 2 items in this video: 1. Bass DI 2. Most importantly, IN EAR MONITORS A QUALITY bass DI is the best way to get YOUR sound out of a rig easily. When you have a good set of in ears you can truly hear what is going on in your mix. it's worth it.
Great video and great recommendations. The only thing I would add is some form of compact tool. I have the one by Music Nomad (forever stored in my Mono case 😉) and it has saved me on several occasions!!
Great vid... I'm fully wireless on IEM/Bass (UHF rack systems), use a great gigbag,, pedalboard Tube and preamp DI, and really good cables... I agree with everything in the vid, and own everything you recommend having, but the only thing that I actually own that you mentioned is the Mono gigbag... haha.
For hard cases, I always go SKB. From personal experience I would say that they have the best warranty I have encountered (for life) and they should cost about the same as the Mono cases.
I had the Mono and a Reunion Blues gig bag. You should check out the RB bag. The only perk that Mono had over the RB is top loading. Much easier getting the bass and putting it up. As far as protection, RB all the way.
Hello Travis, I hope all is well with you and your family! I am 61 years old, and I’ve never owned a base… However, I am thinking about purchasing a used Jackson JS3 for under $250 (usd), or should I spend the money on a Sire V3 (new) instead of used JS3? I will upgrade to a better bass after I’ve progressed a bit. Thank you for your time and I enjoy your content!
Great! Subbed... I have the Aguilar AG - no "drive" function on it but it seems to work good. Having issues finding a compressor. Do you use them and/or what would you recommend?
All great recommendations! I'm constantly on the fence about going wireless or not, the Shure GLXD looks intriguing. I would like to put a plug in for Rattlesnake Cables, if want great cables, I think these are the best.
Wireless is great but I highly recommend avoiding the 2.4/5ghz band that the GLXD operates within. The audio on those mics are great but so many other things operate in that same frequency band. Both the band I'm in and the church I attend have ditched anything in those bands to move into the 450-590mhz world. So much less interference. The GLXD product is so great for so many reasons but I cannot continue using products in that band for the progressively worse interference issues.
I've been looking at wireless in-ear monitors recently and saw the Phenyx, but the advertised Frequency Response for the PTM-10 is 60Hz to 16kHz, which seems like it wouldn't work for bass (especially drop tunings or 5-string). But it sounds like your experience is different?
For the past almost 20 years i have never been asked if i had a wireless system for my bass, i have been instructed on many many occasions to NOT use a wireless system exactly for the reason that there are already a lot of wireless systems running in the venues, every thing fron the bands in ears to the lead mic to security's communication to the camera system or the crew operating the cameras and everything else, i have never needed a wireless system for my Basses and I've played everything from small local bars to some of the biggest festivals, the rest of the items in the video i agre on but you dont need a wireless system for your bass unless you are one of those people that just need to do a lap around the stage every song but unless your playing with your own band or you're the main ticket you're not doing that
You get what you pay for! Xvive did not work for me! Too much interference! I finely ended up with Shure 300 system and left all problems behind! Have all the other stuff you have and love them! Also my direct box is the new Ampeg sgt-di! Love Ampeg!
@@Lowkeybassist I would have agreed with you about five years ago but KZ brand in-ears have kind of changed the game. They are such great quality for only 50 bucks. I've had the same pair now for about three years with absolutely no issues. I don't tour but these see about 6-8 gigs a month with absolutely no issue. Don't get me wrong, I prefer my custom molded in-ears but you can find quality at that 50 range these days.
Hey Travis Gyb...can you do video on good brand bass guitar? I'm having a hard time finding a good 5 string bass. I play bass at my church. Pls help..thx
Great video, the only thing I would add to the list would be a stand/bass stand. Surprisingly not all venues have them or they have very bad ones.

That's the main reason I don't like the X5 UV wireless IEM piece. It's only 2.4 ghz. We looked into them for church, and it was just too cluttered.

Great Video and list. I couldn't agree more. D.I. most important thing by far though. You definitely get what you pay for.
Hi love this dude right here!!! Great video, TD!!!

Just a matter of time.
Appreciate you as always Travis. ✌
The most 2 important for me that is always togehter, is the hardcase for the bass and a good cable inside.
I went and bought a Bass DI (Ampeg SGT) now I barely use my amp + cab. Sounds great and lets me practice with headphones and aux in
Great list!! I would add a bass to it though. 😂
Hey Travis , nice video bro , I see something I need to put on my Holiday wish list!
The most important 2 items in this video:
1. Bass DI
2. Most importantly, IN EAR MONITORS
A QUALITY bass DI is the best way to get YOUR sound out of a rig easily.
When you have a good set of in ears you can truly hear what is going on in your mix. it's worth it.
I just run a helix for both Di and effects. Works great!
@@GrantFunkyFrabeI see your Helix and raise you the Pod Go for the same tone with more functions and a lower price.
Great video and great recommendations.

Thank you Travis. I think you are a source of sound wisdom. Coming from experience.
Orchestral/theatre work will often require 5 string basses. Not every bass player has one
Also I play at church and our DIs cost about £25
Gigging with a Fractal FM3, it's incredible !
🔥Nice review.Great job bro.Continued SUCCESS!!

Sans Amp player's unite 🤝
Great video travis
Do you use any silent plug versions of the cables you recommend?
You should do a video about the moog sub 37 and how do you use it as a bass keyboard and how to connect it too
Extra strings, spare batteries, a wiping cloth, small toolkit and flashlight are in my case as well.
Great! Subbed... I have the Aguilar AG - no "drive" function on it but it seems to work good. Having issues finding a compressor. Do you use them and/or what would you recommend?
Do you use the Avid Eleven Guitar 🎸 Rack, could you recommend any gear for a Bass Players area of the Studio?
What brand of bass is the one when showing the hard case??👀 The white & gold looking one!

Good video buddy looking good I like all your video’s any show in Massachusetts coming
What do you think about the fender downtown express
I got to get one of those "Resting bass face" shirts.

Bass di is one of the most imp these days!!
I think you shouldve included a high end multi fx pedal
Can the Phenyx IEM be run mono? Sometimes I can only get one xlr for my monitor mix
What do you think about the Zoom B6 effects pedal?
BASSISTS: I better not see you buying ANYTHING in this video or any video like this if you don't already own a GOOD TUNER
whats a great tuner?
You get what you pay for! Xvive did not work for me! Too much interference! I finely ended up with Shure 300 system and left all problems behind! Have all the other stuff you have and love them! Also my direct box is the new Ampeg sgt-di! Love Ampeg!
Great video thanks!
youtube? More like ADtube.. Interrupting every 3 min.
Tuner?
Cables and Wireless? How about a gruvgear?
Bass compressor
The xvive is only 6 channels. That's a next disadvantage I believe.
Drummer
Bass
2 keys
Singers X2
Lead guitar.
Not enough channels
ear buds always fall out of my ear
Don’t forget! You need a half ounce of really good weed.
TS not TRS
No p-bass needed? 😁
9:24 I’m not making money
You can buy good in ears for $50 lol dont pay that much guys
I disagree for the pro musicians that have to travel and play a lot you can’t get good quality for $50 when it comes to in ears
@@Lowkeybassist I would have agreed with you about five years ago but KZ brand in-ears have kind of changed the game. They are such great quality for only 50 bucks.
