Since as long as I can remember I have had a fascination for the technology involved in reproducing sound & music. In the initial instance it arose from my desire to build amplifiers for my electric guitar, and a PA for our band's vocals (...we're talking the early 1970s here), mainly because we couldn't afford the real stuff. Subsequently this turned into a desire to amplify my double bass more satisfyingly than the stock equipment seemed to acheive (...and now we're talking the early '80s). This led me into collaboration with the two Joneses; Graham and Griffith (not related, before you ask). Graham patiently taught me much, and helped me lots, ultimately leading to a custom created bass rig that served me faithfully up until 2000. Griffith runs Accusound, and it's thanks to him that the bridge arch contact microphone came into existence, an item I still use, endorse, and heartily recommend.

This year I've begun developing a small but effective vocal monitor, small enough to fit in a shoulder bag. Primarily designed to assist jazz vocalists, it is for use in most rehearsal situations, and small to medium sized gigs where a small PA doesn't run to providing a monitor.
