Hi! I have two questions, is it needed for them to be used in pairs? (I only have one) and what would be the smallest interface with balanced outputs to conect these with a computer? Thanks incredibly in advance!!
I play drums at my church,looking for a good pair of in monitors with great sound, What do you think? Great review by the way
To me, the five string bass has always been an easier to play one
Great video... I'm in the market for a new Head/Cab, using a Trace Elliot ELF Head w/2x8" cab. I mainly play at home these days; but looking for something different with more tone options/EQ. I've decided to go with the GK Fusion 800S 800 Watt amp (400 Watt at 8 Ohm, 800 Watt at 4 Ohm)...... I'm trying to decide between these cabs: One GK NEO 2x10" 500 Watt Cab (8 Ohm) -OR- One GK NEO 2x10" 800 Watt Cab (either 4 or 8 Ohm).... I'm really looking for an amazing TONE over volume when at home........but may eventually start playing out later on. I currently play a Rickenbacker 4003S and a Dingwall John Taylor Sig bass. Any opinions, etc? THANKS SO MUCH! I'm still learning the ins/outs of head/cab configurations. ;)
Since the cq only take TRS input, how did you plug in your guitar?
Combo jacks!! 1-16
The Adam T8V's heavy compete with the HS8's in fact in some songs they sound almost identical. Currently about £100 more for the HS8's, I think it's all personal preference, some hate the sound of each speaker sets for different reasons and are also loved and praised by others
I like the adam stuff!
If you're making big money with your playing - change them. If you are millionaire - change them. If you are like me - find ones who stay fresh longest, and change them before some important gig or recording. There's no logic in changing strings every week or so if you play 250€ instrument. That way, you'll buy a new bass every two or three months.
Maybe a new cheap bass every couple of months
@@tylerrayhughes That's one option too. I know some people who are doing exactly that. Few of them are happily divorced now :)
@@djolemadzarevic jeez! lol
i like this review
but i hope you could add time stamps
Thanks! I’ll look into the time stamps
That was surprisingly real and honest. Cool to so some real, unstaged, first impressions on these. Yes, the KZ have a very audiophile tuning with tons of pushed upper mids and treble. It can be straight up painful with a lot of songs. I highly recommend testing the foam too, especially the COMPLY P Type. They isolate like earplugs and sit like cemented but, at the same time, are able to disappear in terms of feel. Especially with an IEM like the X20
Thanks for that! I’m trying to keep the videos low key and easy to produce which also means honest and concise! 😂
I have no clue why youtube recommended this to me :D, but hey. Maybe these speakers are the best for you, but they aren't the "best" monitors for sure. They are good at showing you problems in your mixes early on, because they are saturated at the mid frequencies. But they also can decieve you if you aren't aware that they are somewhat coloring the spectrum more, than other studio monitors. I think if you are looking for a new pair of monitor speakers, just try out as much as possible, if you can try them out where you will be mixing or mastering that's awesome. Don't listen to anybody, only yourself and your ears. If you are on a tight budget, yes you can easily get great two way speakers, but mainly three way/or more speakers will give you hell of a lot bigger/wider stereo field and separation.
I’m looking to upgrade for sure.
Checkout the PRS NF53. I had Sweetwater send me a black dog hair one about a month ago. Perfect 10 guitar. The tone is different from other PRS guitars. It has that mojo that some people say PRS lacks.
Gotta get my hands on one! Thanks
I love my CE 24. I have strats, les pauls and other fenders as well as SE PRS's in the past. I always reach from my CE24. can not go wrong.
I’m dying to try it!
@@tylerrayhughes are you going to get one? you will never regret it.
I have an S2 Standard and a CE24. I love both a lot, but the CE24 wins for sure. The S2 body is made in the US, but it still has imported electronics, while the CE has all US made parts. Not a huge thing, but noticeable. They both have push/pull coil splits, but I find the CE24 to have a nicer split sound. My biggest thing is the feel with CE24's neck vs. the S2. The S2 has a finished neck, which looks nice, but can be a bit sticky if you get sweaty at all. The CE24 has a really smooth, great feeling neck. I'd say CE's are worth the little extra money
The S2's have usa pickups now. It's what's stopped me from buying an s2 before. S2's were def a notch above the se's I've played. Incredible guitars. I haven't played a core yet. Then covid hit, and they're locking up all the guitars now.
I always suggest trying them out in a store before shopping online. They will all play and feel different. Finding the best guitar is always better when it’s in your hands before dropping cash on a picture. 😉
Very true!
@@tylerrayhughes I would def do what briandagget said ^. So many guitars look and sound diff on youtube than in person. Phil from know your gear says he prefers the s2's over the se's, but he can't really explain why. And the price diff on paper doesn't make the s2 make sense. But I think the exact same thing having played them both precovid. One store had 3 used mark holcomb se's right next to each other. I'd rate one as the best, the second was 95% as good or it was placebo, but the third one was just dead sounding for whatever reason. Maybe the strings, but I didn't think so.
@@tonybowen455 I may just order one of each!
@@tylerrayhughessome say that‘s the deal with PRS that you can easily purchase them online because of their consistency. I bought two SE guitars online and they both will stay. They are the best value for money guitars you can buy in my opinion. BTW the „594“ relates to the scale length. Not the pickups. I think that‘s what you suspected in your video. Good luck with your choice! At some point in my life I might want an S2 or a core but if I‘m honest my two SE‘s are totally doing it for me.
@@kloudtunes right on!
Both basses sound nice. I'd choose the Fender for live gigs to cut through the mix better, and the Fbass for studio work or to enjoy playing alone.
I find myself playing the fender more and more. Back to the roots!
@@tylerrayhughesGlad to hear that the Fender has earned more attention! :) Have you tried Warmoth? I highly recommend their Jazz and Precision parts, especially their rock-solid necks...the heavier and the older the better. My main gigging passive Warmoth parts Jazz/Precision hybrid bass is absolutely incredible and it cost me less than a standard USA Fender. It has a one-piece alder jazz body with Fender "originals" pickups, a precision neck consisting of a goncalo alves neck shaft with steel reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod, and a thick Macassar ebony fretboard with block inlays. Incredibly solid, it never moves even in humid weather, and there isn't a dead spot anywhere on it. :)
@@marcoanello891 sounds like an awesome bass! I have used a Warmoth in the past and really enjoyed it. It wasn’t mine however and I never got one for myself. We actually ended up taking the frets out of it lol. 😂
Third idea , not bad. Are the first two a joke?
I came up with the tip because i started on a 6 string and never played the outer strings. People still considered me a 6 string player. Just trying to help new players bridge the gap.
4:01? Portless design…? Excuse me?!
please don't hurt me
I had a pair and did like them but went for something more neutral (German niche boutique product). They do NOT ssound ""absolutely neutral"! They do colour (albeit in a pleasing way) and make things sound bigger (which is a good thing if you have clients around that wouldn't be too excited about brutally honest monitors). Still good speakers, but probably no competition for some much pricier ones. Actually thinking of getting another pair as a "second opinion".
I really wish i would have just gotten something a bit smaller. I never do any mixing so i just need something for playback. These i cant turn up 25% of the way before the bass gets nuts because of my small room.
Maybe after a few more KZ's I'll be able to know which one will be best for what I am doing.
lol
Thanks for explaining. My first IEM is the KZ ZS10 PRO x. The reason I bought it was not because I know about bass or midrange but because it has 5 drivers on each side, it was affordable, very available here where I'm from and that KZ is highly recommended by many. I got just this last week of June this year and I did not know that I need a USB C to 3.5mm that have a DAC because I thought that all USB C to 3.5mm are all the same. The sound was really different compared to the wireless earbuds and I noticed that when I am listening to videos in my laptop or phone while using the ZS10 pro X that I do not need to dial the volume up to clearly understand what they are saying in the videos. My wireless are not the high quality once but the mid ranged once like the Galaxy Buds FE and the Soundcore P40i. I might be buying the ZS10 pro 2 or the KZ you said that is good for vocals since I will be using this to watch youtube videos like yours. Thanks again I was researching what KZ to buy and what are the difference and have not seen any until your video pop up in my recommended videos.
Thanks for taking the time to share! I will say, I Like the ZAS for vocals because it helps my vocal to stand out above other instruments due to the mid range. I don't think i would prefer them for listening to talking videos on CZcams. For that i may prefer something more neutral and less "excited". Good luck!
I agree with you on everything however the HS series all have ports.
yes ported they are.
Honestly i think speakers will always be subjective. Honestly, minus a few details, any decent speaker can be eq'ed to sound how you want them to. Nonetheless awesome vid and very good points you made!
thanks for that!
Fans are 14$ on amazon. If it shorted something on the board it is usually easy to fix.
no doubt!
I like that it's small and would fit in my gig bag, but I feel safer using my hercules stand.
I agree with that!
Now that’s a fine review!!! Gotta get one…
get one!
Alex Church is AWESOME!!
Alex Church is AWESOME!! Extremely clean guitar player.
how much power do they use if no music is being played on them? Because it's annoying having to turn the switch off before going bed
I have my connected to a power distro that shuts of many things 1 with switch.
@@tylerrayhughes cool thanks
Heya, so do you use both inputs with the two outputs on the 800s?
I do not
Hi there, I am a drummer and bass player and am tying to venture out into iems coming from sure se425 but they are a bit old. What would you recommend?
Kz Zax
Have you try ZAR? I'm stuck between ZAX and ZAR models. I listen metal/rock music mostly and playing drums. I can't choose, pls help :D PS: By the way, I have been using the zsn pro x model for 5 years, I want to switch to a new pair due to upgrade.
I have not tried the Zar, good luck!
I just ordered KZ's right now....hoping they work well using with my Keyboards.
how is it?
update?
Great tips I'm waiting for my five string to come in and have never played it before. You're right I never thought of using the b string that way.
Baby steps and before you know it, you're a five string bass player!
I have the kz pro x the kz pro 2 and now i ordered the kz zax. Hopefully the zax will become my new favorite
I've never tried the pro x or 2 but i bet they are great!
@@tylerrayhughes imo the X is better
But the zax beats them both 💯
I had a pair of Yamaha HS - 80 monitors before they came out with the HS -8. Worlds of difference. The HS-8 have a terrible general feel unless you’re DJing
Im looking for something better for my setup soon.
bruh, i think he forgot to mention, that the ns10s were so well-known, because they were so bad: when you could get a good mix on these, your mix would have sound good anywhere. Kind of the opposite of "get the most accuarte sound" I think.
looking forward to your video about it!
This is viral material.. put this video up on everything Tyler!
lol okay!

Hi Tyler I got a question on a analog mixer usually you can solo a channel and mute all other channels, Is there a way to do it on this mixer if you find a way please let me know all there is a headphone icon and you have to be wearing a headphone to use it as a solo fixture thanks again
Have you found the answer to this yet? Did the update help?
@@tylerrayhughes No, a solo channel work on your headphone
@@juanquesada382 I don’t fully understand what you are asking.
Im a drummer, which one would you recommend zas or zax?
simple answer, zax
I had a pair of Yamaha HS - 80. Prefer them way over the current model. Nice to have dip switches. I find that the HS eights are a little bass heavy. I also recommend Kali audio
Nice note. I wish i would have gotten something completely different after all.
How can I use the 2.5hz vs 5g connectivity? I think the 2.5 is making my wireless mics in the same rack cut out
yes there is an issue with all digital wireless at this moment. Not sure the fix. seems to be hit or miss.
Love the video! I think the fretboard makes a really huge different 😮
Yes, i think i prefer the maple feel and sound. Want to get an fbass with a maple fretboard soon!
Have Kiesel build one to your spec.
Maybe one day.
Hello Can you record your acoustic guitar on the sd card , then you play back that guitar track and record your vocal, still using only the sd card, so no DAW Thanks
no you can not
Up and comer? F Bass has been around since ‘78, dawg. They’re older than Fodera.
I know man, i really need to start coming up with a script for these things instead of just wingin it.
The way they are positioned close to the wall gives you much more bass than what you are supposed to hear. I know cause I have the same problem for 4 years...
Certainly does. However i use them at a relatively low volume and never mix anything important on them. Honestly wasn't a great choice for my space. lol
GK build quality isn’t great in my opinion. I got a new legacy and it was so noisy. Nasty hiss sound, it’s going back next week.
Im not having trouble with noise however this is the brightest amp I've ever had. Used to add now I'm always cutting
I Had a F Bass in 2000. Beautiful instrument just wasn’t my thing..
Thanks
You're welcome sir
