But I still think that's the mistake. I would venture that all lost/missing items that can't be identified or returned to sender go to the auction house, and this one ended up in that pile in error. I personally don't think it's helpful to Mark or anyone to keep making public accusations that the auction house is somehow in on industrial scale theft scheme with Parcelforce. It could be true, but let the police find that out if so.

A very odd development. Given how it was listed at the auction house, and the fact they returned it to the consignee, I'm still convinced there hasn't been any theft and it ending up there was an error, something Parcelforce may have confirmed to them, but the communication issues now don't make any sense.

Pickups sold, last few bits left, will do a good deal if you buy a few. -
I've never really understood why 4ohm 115/410/112 cabs are made, as I've always felt that they are designed to be in pairs or mixed with one another, and so should be 8ohm to come down to 4ohm total, unless you're running a 2ohm amp. More speakers = more air moved = louder. I suppose maybe if you're always running your amp at 11, maybe then it makes a bit more of a difference if you're running just one cab, provided the speak cone(s) have enough left to give?

How was your recording session last night/yesterday...?

It can indeed. -
My initial keenness on this have died down somewhat for me. Seeing how you need to long press multiple switches to change presets killed it for me, means I could never consider using this live without a separate midi footswitch strip, which goes a long way to defeating the point of the smaller footprint and may even cost more than just having the full sized version. I've managed to mess up preset switching just pressing one 😅 Its looks great for use on a desk or midi driven rack, but otherwise I just don't think 4 switches is enough.

Had a couple of questions about the size of the Bart pickups. I measure these as approx 118mm x 33mm, very similar and interchangeable with the P4 size used by Bartolini USA (I replaced the pickups in my Ibanez with a P4 sized set with no modifications).

I think the whole bass synth thing is interesting. Remember, the Deep Impact, the former holy grail, ended up being a discontinued bargain bin buy because literally no-one was buying them. Interest is clearly higher now, but I'm sure a lot of it is hype, and without big/influential names using it (Chris Wolstenholm for the DI, Ian for the MXR) they're just not going to take off.
-
I mean in fairness, this isn't Bass Direct or similar, this is a big international store and I doubt the staff are paid anywhere near enough to care less about costing the company money in situations like this, easier life for them keeping the customer happy Did I pick up on you buying the used MXR Bass Synth too? I'd be very keen to hear a comparison between the two, largely from a sound quality and tracking perspective when it comes to the new comparable presets, when they arrive.

Mike grabbed a few bits and bobs from my spare draw, quick to pay and quick to confirm receipt, no complaints here, cheers mate!

Updated, everything pictured still available.

I shouldn't really help the sale as I want this to still be here when I have enough free funds to grab it 😅 but can attest to Andy being a fine chap and this cab sounding monstrous!- 1 reply

I don't know the physics behind it, but for me a tapered string is much richer in harmonic content, which I suspect is because it has a much cleaner break over the witness point on the bridge. It'll otherwise have exactly the same, more or less, low end as any other string of the same gauge. At the end of the day, all strings are a thin core with wire wrapped around it, with tapered ends. I like both, depending on the bass. My stingray loves a tapered B, my Alpher doesn't. No idea why!

I can't say I've picked that vibe up from anyone in particular, but I'm glad and proud it was spotted, our emails appear to have had an impact and it looks to be heading towards a happy ending

Oh absolutely. Most stores tend to protect themselves by not covering return postage or not refunding postage paid, which is fairly standard unless its faulty goods, but its interesting the likes of Bax (I think?) make a big deal of offering a free "trial" period and cover all postage costs. I feel there must be a hidden fair usage policy, as otherwise people could run riot with it.
