    Default Bass Mic'ed or Taken Direct?

    I'm not sure how the bass is done in this video.

    http://youtu.be/ItZyaOlrb7E

    Currently using:
    T43p Thinkpad w/XP SP3 for FOH, Subs and Front Fill Mixes (20% CPU load);
    T500 Thinkpad w/Win7 SP1 for 6 Monitor Mixes (15% CPU load)
    Running at 2x32
    2 Digifaces, 1 w/CardBus, 1 w/ExpressCard
    3-Octamic-D for mic inputs - using the dual outputs to split the ADAT signal to the Digifaces;
    1-RME ADI-8 Pro for all FOH sends; 1-RME ADI-8 Pro for all Monitor sends;

    I didn't spot a guitar amp either.

    I'm thinking the only guy hooked up to anything is the drummer.

    Looks like a set-up video shoot to me.

    What is it you think the drummer is hooked up to, a bottle of petrol maybe??

    The drummer at times reminds me of the agitator in my washing machine.

    No, these guys are for real. The video was shot at an amusement resort close to where I live (in fact, my band is playing there tomorrow). The bass and guitar are as suggested, wireless, running into processors. I can see the snare mic, and the rest of the drums might have mics inside the shells-- I see a wire coming down from the mounted tom, but would guess that the camera is picking up the cymbals because the band shell throws all those highs out pretty well. They are in the focal point of the shell. There's a keyboard player in the band too, but he's out of camera shot and most likely not playing on this song anyway.

    I've seen them 3 or 4 times and they definitely are playing their instruments and singing. As you can see they are very showy, as they play a lot of casinos and show rooms around the country. They're pretty busy: http://www.rickkandtheallnighters.com/tour/
