  1. Hiya, yes you could take a mix (best option as you can get a little kit and guit and vox etc in there as well),from an aux out on the desk or if its just your bass you want, you could take a direct out from your amp/d.i or with a modified cable, use the insert point if your desk has one, loads of options.
    The wired option is the cheapest, maybe a way to see if you get on with in ears but there are some cheap radio units about now so..
    There are a few more cheaper wireless options about nowadays, Thommann do a unit, as does LD, which are similar in spec and price, for about £150
    This one>http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_iem_75.htm#bewertung is as cheap as it gets and does 3 frequencies do you could use three sets in a band.

    This one >http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_iem_100_863_mhz.htm can be mono or stereo and has more frequencies etc.

    Its worth a punt on the first set I linked as Thommann have a 30 day no quibble money back deal so you get a month to try them out, if you no like, you no buy.
    Even selling them on should get you £50 back so no great risk.
    The actual headphones are likely to be of poor quality so don't judge the set on them, try to borrow some better quality phones to test it out.
    The cheaper sennheiser range can get you a pretty good sound if you get a good seal, especially if you upgrade to better foam tips.

    Hope this helps!

  2. You can of course monitor your own amp through in ears.
    Cheapest way is a small 2 to 4 chan micro desk,stick it on top of your rig,feed an input on that from your d.i out, headphone extension to your in ears.
    If you have a spare aux out on your main desk, you can send the mix that was going to your wedge to the other chan on the mini desk,and mix between them till you're happy.

    Loud amp, comfy bass, no one cares in the audience.

    You will pass many years and spend a lot of cash before you finally accept the truth in this statement.

  4. Google cal here, works perfectly and we have reminders set a month in advance for gigs and rent etc.
    We used to have it rigged so an inquiry on the website flagged up on the calendar. Useful
    All hols, gigs, members busy,things of interest, go in the calendar, and all can see it on any smart phone.
    Our last singer managed to duplicate his calendar and insisted he had posted on ours, but couldn't understand where the posts were.. be careful with calendars and singers..

  5. Been thinking about using a stereo balanced cable to carry mono bass and stereo IEM.
    Would be neater if you were taking the feed from a pedalboard position but not essential.
    Just add a sturdy mini jack socket about 15 centimetres from both ends of the cable tap into that.
    Cheap and fairly mobile.

    I blame my drummer. No matter how much bass I have on, he always insists on adding more. Sometimes its like the room in bending due to the amount of low frequency........I love it.

    You are right to blame your drummer.
    Statistics show it is invariably their fault.
    Change of rehearsal room to one with real walls?

  7. Does the 115 have an external speaker socket or can you unplug the internal and connect to another cab?
    Easy way to test your, amp (which is almost certainly fine) is to run it into another same spec speaker.
    You probably have overheated your driver, and a replacement shouldn't be too expensive.
    Would be a good idea to un-Mastadon your amp first and have a good listen,you may have just dialled in a tone the amp can't do very well and gone too loud to compensate.

  8. Hello all.
    I have a client who needs someone who could competently bow a few double bass parts to complement some sampled/programmed parts for an Lp project.
    There would be a modest fee and probably a credit on the CD cover.
    If you live in the Northwest you could do this at their studio,if you live elsewhere the method would involve them emailing or drop boxing you the track and the individual part to copy, which you would then need to record at home and email back.
    Anyone interested please message me and I'll put them in touch.
