Excellent day. Nice to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones Thanks to Nik and Colin for arranging.

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1399564189' post='2445401'] Afternoon all, Need a few suggestions from you lot. What I'm after is a personal monitor system. I don't want wireless, all I'm after is a small bodypack. So straight out of my bass, into said bodypack, then one output into headphones and the other going off to my amp. I've already got a set of Shure 315 and some moulded ear pieces fitted to them, I'm just missing the middle bit. After looking online, I really like the Samson S Monitor, but it has to be mains supplied and I'll need a battery powered system. Cheers, James [/quote] Funnily enough I've been trying to achieve this for some time and it's finally come together this week ready to get some feedback at the Bash tomorrow. Small belt-mounted box with two locking jack sockets, headphone outlet and a volume control, all driven from a PP3. The input/splitter stage uses FETs so is very high-impedance and shouldn't degrade the signal at all. Further development could be to add an active/passive switch, some tone controls for the headphone amp and perhaps an Aux input so it could be used in conjunction with a wireless receiver for monitoring. This is purely for my own specific use and I have no intention of going into production.

Initally I had an GK Fusion but it didn't do it for me. Then I got a TH500 and all came good. Also use a Mesa Prodigy. which also works well.

Nik, I was planning on bringing my Mesa Boogie Prodigy 4:88

[quote name='davehux' timestamp='1411500560' post='2560177'] I found the Mesa Boogie Prodigy, but at almost 2 grand new, and possibly 110V only, it's slightly into Fantasy Island territory. [/quote] 240-volt version is available and works well but, yes, expensive.

Foolishly installed an iTunes software upgrade this morning on my PC. Just checked the Recent Additions and it has magically appeared. Now I have to make it magically disappear as I'm not the slightest bit interested in U2 or their recordings.

Sorry that I can't be there. Have a great day everyone and see you at the SE Bash in November.

I stopped playing in 1967 when I sold all my gear (worst decision of my life) and started my career. What with that, marriages, family and other hobbies I didn't get back into playing again until 1990, a break of 23 years. I was very rusty however I've not looked back since.

I'm 68 and still get out and gig when I can. I've been playing on and off since I was 17. I saw Little Riichard on tour and that was the defining moment. I'm not in a permanent band these days but that's through choice however I dep occasionally for a blues band, do house band at a local jam from time to time and get up and play at other local jams. As long as I'm fit and sane I will continue to play.

1. Hamster - 2. Silverfoxnik - BC Rich Eagle, Schecter Diamond P5, Levinson Blade B15, amp & cab tbc 3. Bluejay - with no fewer than two cameras, and possibly her so far pretty successful - despite being lefty - Warwick Corvette 5 Pro 4. Happy Jack - who knows what I will bring this year? 5.Chris B 6.TheGreek 7. iD Entity - Zon 5, Wal 4, Amp of some kind, a couple fun pedals 8. Bassace: Double Bass and a small amp 9. Walman - some bits to be decided 10. Kiwi 11. Sibob - Whatever I'm using for my gig that night 12. obbm - Sadowskys, Mesa Prodigy, Berg CN212, Mesa Bottle Rocket and some cables 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

Sadly due to Grandchildren commitments I'm not now going to be able to make this. I know I could bring them but they won't all fit in the Smart with the rig. Should be OK for the SE Bash later in the year however.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1407857506' post='2524731'] But does it count as a "Jam" if you are playing songs that everyone knows? Surely that's just playing covers? [/quote] It's not a prerequisite that everyone knows the songs. It makes you think on your feet and that's what I like about it.

Also I can recommend Robert van der Linde in Farnborough. [url="http://www.cadillacguitars.com/"]http://www.cadillacguitars.com/[/url] He's a very experienced luthier and recently undertook a major service and part rewire of Paul Geary's Stingray 5.

So you play bass for Keith or with Mr Miller in the Voodoo Men?

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1406708265' post='2513864'] And today the missus saw the receipt!! It's going to be a cold and lonely couple of weeks [/quote] Oh dear!

I've just done 3 weeks as house bass for 3 hours a night at a local Jam with my Prodigy/CN212 and it never missed a beat. Absolutely solid and great tone with the Sadowsky PJ in passive mode. Lots of comments about the bass sounding great and actually cutting through the mix. It even made an old Encore Precision and a 60s Futurama sound really good.

Welcome Ricardo. Wow you are a long way down south in Texas. I visited Austin once. Great place, great music scene.
