Had a few issues recently with my band members complaining about onstage volume. I'm all for having a manageable onstage volume but there have been times that I've had to turn my amp down so low, that I know all I'm hearing of myself is what's coming out of the PA. So I've been thinking about in-ear monitors.. We run a full FOH (bins and tops) and most of my tone shaping is done by a Sansamp Paradriver so I've no concerns about the sound out front being bad, it's just about being able to hear myself properly on stage whilst keeping the other band members happy (which I do believe is important, so please no suggestions of telling them to just f**k off). Questions I have: How have you guys who've made the change to in-ears found it? Do you go for a full band mix with yourself pushed a little? Does it only really work if everyone switches to in-ears? Wired in ears vs. Wireless? I'm sure there'll be more questions too!! Thanks in advance for any responses!!

Cool - I'll have a listen later.

There's a 15watt version of those Ashdown CTM's? Sounds perfect for what your after if you ask me... http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ashdown-ctm-15-valve-bass-head

Day 13 - Think I would have hit the beers too.

I think a fair number of people will have considered doing what you've done at some point in our lives Mark, I know I have - that's what makes this such an interesting read..

I'm only seeing up to day 12?

The Mackie doesn't have an internal wifi router so unless you add one, you can only control the mixer by docking your ipad.

Do let us know how it goes Ant - think there's more than a few of us on here who've got their fingers crossed for you....

That sucks - like others have said drop Alex an email and see if there's anything he can do.

This is what I did, works a treat: - http://www.studybass.com/gear/bass-strings/bass-string-cleaning-tube/

I call the signature models I have by the artists name - unsurprisingly. Also my '78 P was given the moniker DeeDee by a former bandmate coz of it's colour / neck combo:- [attachment=208691:78p.PNG]

The most recent Classic Rock had a huge feature on him - spent Sunday afternoon going through it whilst listening to Lizzy, great way to spend some sofa time..

Really enjoyable read so far Mark - do keep it up!

OK does this mean you now get bragging rights if you own what's going to be described as an 'original german-made' Tecamp?

Cheers gents!

Following with interest!

Here's the post he did about it.. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/259192-nbd-look-matey-somebody-had-to/page__hl__ramone

I'm sure Karlfer on here had one (may still have), he may be able to offer a well-informed opinion..

Not sure what you mean? Don't see a dial on the back..unless you mean the cover for the digital out socket, that looks a bit like a volume knob I suppose.. [attachment=207711:rh450 rear.JPG]
