I was asked to join a band to replace their existing bass player who was unreliable. They used to pool the money to buy new kit for whoever needed it. I'd just bought a new rig and it was agreed that I'd just have my share in cash as I didn't need anything else. At some point, the singer, who was a bit of a control freak had decided that, because I wasn't one of the originals, he'd treat me as a hired hand and started paying me and the sax player less than the others. It was some months before I found out. It all blew up after a gig that the sax man had organised so he knew exactly what we were being paid. When challenged he admitted it. He fired me and I resigned at exactly the same moment. Another was due to the excessively aggressive attitude of the guitarist who, when we were working in a new drummer and keyboard player used to rant and shout at them if they made a mistake, even during gigs. He was hardly whiter than white. One day I just decided out and left. Interestingly my replacement was heard to say "that it was the most stressful band he'd ever played in". Finally a start-up that never got off the ground. A dodgy set list, two rehearsals then the singer says that her partner who was going to help obtain gigs was going to get an equal split of the money. Hmmm.

Ash came and picked up my ACG headless 5-string last night. He agreed to buy it back in January and asked whether, if he gave me a deposit, then could he complete the transaction by May. I was in no panic to sell so I agreed. True to his word he contacted me yesterday morning and appeared at the agreed time with the balance. A thoroughly nice guy and a pleasure to deal with. Enjoy your new bass Ash, it's a one-off.

OP's new cable went in the post this afternoon.

Steve has just purchased a TC BH250. Smoooth deal. A pleasure to do business with.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1461361953' post='3034130'] Any chance of the 410/610/810's? I'd like to try the Marshall Superbass through them. [/quote] +1. I'd like to try the Mesa Prodigy through the new 410.

These are copies of a Switchcraft jack. They seem well made. A few have been soldered on to cables for my pedalboard. At the last count I had 17. Free to collect or postage at cost.

I've been having a clear out and rationalisation of my own cables and as a result have a number of unterminated lengths of Klotz AC110 cable. All good condition. 7.5m, 4m, 2.5m x2, 1.7m, 1m x3, 0.7m, 0.5m. Free to collect or can post at cost. They weigh about 1.3Kg so cheapest postage will be about £3.00

You've done it again Mr M.

Welcome back Stew. I think you just have to keep looking and networking. I'd resigned myself to the fact that I'd finished with bands and then one found me. This time at 70 I'm not the oldest in the band as the singer is 75. Result.

Was planning to go tomorrow and bought ticket in advance but now cannot so if anyone needs a ticket please pm me.

Sold my PJB C4 cab to Kev. Excellent communication and very fast payment, just like BC should be. Deal with confidence.

One of my biggest regrets in life was selling my Framus Star bass in 1967. It triggered retirement from playing music for 23 years. Eventually I saw the light and then I found Bassworld.

I'll be there on the Sunday. If anyone wants any cables I can bring them with me and you can save on the postage

[quote name='Tee' timestamp='1456175549' post='2986345'] Can the Aguilar TH500 do this? [/quote] TH500 is fine without a load.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1455961834' post='2983920'] 6 inches/15cm would be ample. It is merely to take a straight plug on my Trex current doubler cable and 'convert' it to right angle. The connection between leads being concealed under the board and the right angle plugged into the pedal... [/quote] I'll make you one. PM me your address, etc.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1455922517' post='2983774'] Now just got to find a short 2.1mm right angle male to straight female.... [/quote] When you say short, how long overall?
