I've been really watching the development of the Jule Monique pre-amp for a while and it's been getting absolutely rave rave reviews from users over in the States. I see they've now teamed up with Demeter to offer either a little power amp that fits perfectly beneath either of the Jule pre-amp designs or a fully integrated head with the Monique in the front end in either rack mount or standalone form factors. Everything I've read about these suggests they could just be the 'perfect' amp for me! A god friend has a Monique pre & I'm really excited to get a chance to try it out Some pics: Monique in Dove-Cage metal Monique in funky bamboo! Integrated 800w head As Jule put it - All Tube, All Love Also - check this review on just how good they are supposed to sound! http://btpub.boyd-printing.com/publication/?i=118550&p=8

On both days we'll have Jens Ritter available from 15:00 (directly after the BC times) if anyone wants to chat to him. It's not a big public speech or anything. He'll just be around for a natter with anyone who wants to ask him about his basses, design ethos, etc. He's a lovely guy and just about the most enthusiastic builder you'll ever meet! We'll also have Dave Swift around on both days too. I'll try to get his times to match the BC ones as well. Another great guy, full of stories and anecdotes from the zillions of gigs he's played on

We have a family outing booked - 6 of us going so far!

I think it's only 250w with an extension cab. 150w as a standalone unit. It's also not a neo speaker - cant afford one in this price bracket

I help out now and then in a bass shop and I have to admit that we hardly ever get any lefty players in or even enquires for them. Could be a bit 'chicken and egg' though as we rarely get any lefties in stock to begin with. I think we've sold about 3 in the past year out of 4 we've had in stock. We've had a Wood & Tronics one in for a while but I can't remember the last time we had a left handed player in to even try it

Just watched the video bits - how cool!

My wedding cake was a replica of my first ever bass, a '78 Musicmaster in Olympic white. Unfortunately I don't have the wedding photos but will see if I can 'borrow' them for a bit

For reference the BassGear stand will be in the entrance hall area, I think Ernie Ball & Overwater will be in this area as well. It's designated as a 'quiet' zone on both days so should be free from the potential slap-fest in the main hall I'm minding the store this week as Phil is away visiting funky bass suppliers in the USA & I've uncovered some guest list options for both days of the show. Details are on the big LBGS thread - post #183 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/187878-london-bass-guitar-show-2013-2-and-3032013/page__pid__1985929__st__180#entry1985929

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I've managed to uncover some guest passes that give free entry to the show, through Bass Gear in Twyford, and they are being given away via the Bass Gear Facebook page. All you have to do is 'Like' the page and then send an email to BG as per the instructions you'll see there. https://www.facebook.com/BassGearUK There's no commitment to do anything other than to like the page & subscribe to the monthly newsletter so I hope I'm not breaking any rules (mods - tell me if this is a problem).

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1360602967' post='1973165'] So where is the Lull review then? Obviously it must have been written, and the photographs taken so why isn't it in this months issue. As consumers we were cheated out of 4 pages in the previous one, so they should have been included for free is the current issue. [/quote] Probably too tight on deadlines. Depends how/where they are printed but sometimes the next issue is all put to bed (apart from the odd small adjustment up front) by the time the first issue appears. This would shunt it back another issue.

I've tried 6 or 7 different ones and the only one that works consistently well on my iPhone is the TC Polytune. However it doesn't work as well on my iPad mini. Struggles to track the lowest notes.

We always had Alesis ones, I think simply because they were pretty cheap and seemed to do the job OK
