[QUOTE="Andrew St. George, post: 217049, member: 15826"] Thanks for the advice! I have the Midas MR18 on order (got it for only $100 more then the Behringer XR18), so hopefully that can help a lot. My wife played bass for a while and we have a compressor for her, so I'll experiment with using that to help. The mains handle the sound just fine, so it's really the monitors, but as I said, when he brings his bass cab with him the "appropriate" volume level for him to hear himself makes it so nobody else can hear anything, so all the other stuff gets cranked in the monitors and then our stage volume becomes ridiculous for small venues. We had one outdoor gig where the vocalists started singing and i thought they were just a little quiet, and when I went to turn them up, realized they were muted through the mains and it was their monitor volume being so loud. they still had issues hearing themselves over the bass. Once I get the digital board in, i'll see what I can get to happen with that, and then from there, I can always look at a better quality monitor, even if it's just for the bass player. everyone else is fine with way less bass in the monitors, [/QUOTE]
