goofing off tonight with the new Nash JB 63. I poked a bit of fuzz and comp before Mo, and then proceeded to do this terrible mess.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but...

My Jule Amps Monique Dovecage is really a spectacular piece of gear! :hyper:

I received both the Rackmount and Dovecage versions a couple of months ago - haven't even opened the rackmount box yet, because I'm in the middle of moving to Williamson County, TN, but I have dabbled around with the Dovecage>Demeter 800>Baer ML-112 and it is just a great setup. Infinitely flexible and it is nearly impossible to dial in a bad tone, regardless of the preamp/sensitivity/EQ settings.

With my Fodera MG Sig (Horse Chestnut over Walnut/Alder Tone Block and Ash Neck/Ebony FB) it is nothing short of a magic tone. Gobs of clear, thick, chewy low-end yet with clear note articulation and definition. I have never heard better tone than this for what I do...

Once I get to set up my studio after the move, I can hardly wait to drop bass tracks into Logic with this setup...:bassist:

The best gear is always elegantly simple, in my opinion... The Jule Amps Monique is this very thing. Jule you have created a masterpiece, Sir!

Best,

Mike

Very cool. You are loaded for bear with that rig! The first part of my 'Monique rig' arrives today... the new Bergantino NV115 (sealed 15 and mid driver). I am a fan of the ML112 (really nice box), but would need two of them to handle my gigs, and I am a single cab guy. I am hoping the NV115 gives me a similar general tonality, with a bigger low end and output that is between a single ML112 and two of them.

Not sure how long the wait is now for the DeMonique. I won't bother Jule for another few weeks to check in on timing. He bounced me back when I ordered that he has a number of the Tardis pre's in production, and that Demeter has shortened their turnaround time to 2-3 weeks for adding the Minnie.... so maybe in a month or so (I'm 2 weeks in on the order) I will be loaded for bear:bassist:
 
A little Monique revival music - violin, bass, drum machine, live.

Wow Ken, a Pbass, a tube pre/power amp rig, a sealed 15 ? What's next, flats ? :D

:D I hope not! NV115 just arrived. What an absolutely beautiful looking and sounding little box! Can't wait to get some de-Monique power into it. Sounds somewhat like a 'big ML112' (another great cab) with a bit more relaxed top end. And, not a whole lot bigger. Very nice!
 
Charlie, you have built a beautiful piece of gear. Proud to know you.

Back at you Jule, and still hoping to meet up in person later this year or at NAMM. I finally located someone with a Monique within reasonable driving distance, and am really looking forward to playing through it soon.
 
Hey Mr. Bowlus, have you tried the Monique in front of the Carvin B1500. I was just thinking about that last night. I know you own both so I thought I'd ask. Theoretically it seems like a win/win.

Not yet, but yes, it should sound great. Of course, there are smaller/lighter ways to get a bunch of power behind Monique, but the B1500 would certainly be up to the task.
 
We recently received a Bamboo Monique and a Dove Cage from Jule. Lovely little gems they are. Instead of running these through our Epifani amps, I'd like to use a separate power amp instead.

I'd appreciate forum members chiming in detailing their favorite rig or what they have knowledge of being a really good match with the Monique.

Thanks,

Dave
