I was looking at Buttkickers, but they are rather expensive for our church to buy. Yes - they probably are the best you can get and fully worth it. The Buttkickers weigh 3x what the Dayton Audio transducers weigh.

But for less $$ than it takes to buy a single Buttkicker, we can get 2 Dayton Audio BST-1 bass shakers and a 200w amp to run them. Parts-express has that for $207.

Has anyone used the Dayton Audio versions for a stage setting (for us, church worship band) and give feeback on how well they work? I'd be making an isolated platform for the bass and one mounted to it. The other would go on the drummer throne.

Thanks.

For the band - just me (bass) and the drummer.
Was wondering if someone tried these for a musician type situation and if they worked satisfactorily.

I spec'd Aura 50W bass shaker for one my drummers who was using IEMs. I thought it was pretty weak, but she appreciated it.
"Aura AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker Tactile Transducer" from www.parts-express.com!

The entry level Buttkicker starts at $90. 250W at 4 ohms. "ButtKicker BK-mini-LFE Mini Low Frequency Effect Transducer Bass Shaker" from www.parts-express.com!

I suggest you read through the reviews for each product and don't expect pro level performance from consumer level gear.
