From the technical info I've given about my amp, would you have any clue as to what sort of wedge I should look at? Cheers!! OHM

Here's a funny one... I'm not sure anyone on this Forum will suffer with EXACTLY the same problem, but there might be a few people who have similar issues. I have badly cauliflowered ears and one of their side effects is it makes sounds come from different directions than if they were coming through a normal shaped ear. As a result I often struggle to hear myself through my amp when we're on stage and it is behind me. As I don't normally play through a PA, I don't use any form of Monitor. I play through a Markbass Little Mark head in to a Schroeder 21012L cabinet, which has an angled speaker (this helps a lot). Other than possibly putting a wedge under the Cab to angle it further upwards, does anyone have any suggestions? Is it possible to run a monitor directly off my amp through the Line Out? If so, what sort of monitor should I use? The handbook says that the maximum output is balanced xlr with a max. voltage of 10vpp. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea what this means (I was the most attentive student as I much preferred the rugby pitch to lessons- hence the ear problem ) Any help/suggestions/sarcastic comments are most welcome.

I've had a couple of dealings with Steve without any trouble whatsoever. A thoroughly nice guy and a pleasure to do business with. Cheers Steve

Beautiful collection. I love that Stingray- very classy.

+1 for seeing the basses in the Porn section Welcome aboard

[quote name='OldGit' post='135357' date='Feb 6 2008, 10:49 PM']Oh! Cousin Blue's looking good .. That Jon knows how to choose a bit of wood ... [/quote] He certainly does. I'm actually glad he's chosen all the materials now. At least it means when I go up there, I won't be able to change my mind QUITE as much as I probably will....

A few more pictures from Jon. The fingerboard is now mounted on the neck and it's been bound also. Jon's used Mother of Pearl for the binding and it's turned out darker than we both thought due to the transparency of the MOP which you need to use to give it the 3D effect. He's going to try and find a very thin laminate to put between the Mother of Pearl and the rosewood, which should lighten the colour a little. Tell the truth though, I actually quite like it as it is. As the bass is going to be a transparent blue as well, I think it will look pretty good.

John I've got one of these. Want to borrow it?

This is what I've gone with; good old Rosewood. I must say, Jon picks the nicest pieces of wood. Once this is oiled, I think the grain will look lovely.

That's a beautiful colour

Our OBBM has got one of these

[quote name='beerdragon' post='131803' date='Feb 1 2008, 10:40 AM']Its a lovely neck and sound great. we have a gig saturday night so i am looking forward to gigging it.[/quote] It's a fantastic neck isn't it? Glad you like it mate

More importantly Martin, how did you get on with it??!!

Yes. I've bought several bits off them and service and delivery has been excellent. As it's inter-community (EC) you won't be charged Duty either.

I reckon if you got it for £800, it would be a pretty good buy. I wouldn't pay quite that much for a right handed one, but lefties will probably always carry a premium. It looks a very clean example and is a really nice colour scheme

Welcome Nick. I think you'll find yourself in very good company having been inspired by Norman.
