    Cables handmade in the United Kingdom Members 609 1,961 posts Location: Poole, Dorset Report post Posted November 28, 2020 This is made from three metres (£16) or five metres (£18) of Sommer Triclone XXl, a very high quality cable plus two straight Tricone XXL Jack Plugs ( HI-J63TC-SM) specially designed for use with this cable. They include a metal clamping system that grips the cable firmly over a large area. This ensures that no matter what the weight/load put upon the cable the connector stays frimly on the cable. Other lengths are available as well as other connectors. PM me for details. Tricone XXL is one of the best cables for use with instruments and the HiCon jack plugs used onntghese cable are specifically desinged fo nthe cable The signal conductor is bigger than most ensuring that conductor breakages are minimised. This is what Sommer say about the Tricone XXL: The Tricone® XXL has a fat PE foam insulation which is firmly enclosed and held in place by a carbon screen. This will optimise the capacitance and ensure a loss-free treble reproduction even over longer distances. This design and the Cu mesh screen will perfectly protect against external interference. The special LONGLIFE COMPOUND jacket ensures a high tread resistance and tensile strength Advantages: Powerful, clear sound with the transmission of any instrument signals Dual shielding by Cu mesh screen and conductive carbon screen Highly flexible and easy to reel because of its fine single litz design Extremely durable and rugged due to LONGLIFE COMPOUND jacket Application: High-quality guitar lead for stage & studio Unbalanced cable for all string instruments, keyboards, samplers, mixing desks etc. The HI-J63TC-SM jack plug is made for the Tricone XXL cable and when properly assembled it is probably the best jack plug/cable combination there is.

    To be precise I bought some of his instrument cables, jack plugs an speakON connectors, He still had some cable and connectors of his left as on Jan 13st. I have Sommer Tricone2 cable, Sommer Classique Braided and Tricone XXL plus lots of connectors.

    I bought up most of OBBMs cables when he retired.

    Tell me what you need and I will tell you if I have them,

    These are two 1/4" (6.35mm) Jack to Phono (RCA) connector patch cables. There is 18cm of cable between the connectors (7"). The jack is a Sommer HiCon, the phonos are non branded but of very high quality designed for 6mm cables. The cable is Sommer Tricone2, a flexible high quality cable, recomended for patch cables.

    After my wife died I sat down with my eldest daughter and played Beatles to show her how the Fab 4 changed everything. I have always thought that Rubber Soul and especially Revolver were more groundbreaking than Sgt Pepper and so chose Tomorrow Never Knows as an example. Her initial thoughts (we were more than a little tipsy by now) were that the Beatles copied the Chemical Brothers but as she started to say it, I saw the realisation on her face. NeedLess to say all my grandkids now love the . As for the lack or Beatles on the radio. It is many of the things noted above, plus what pigeon hole do you put the Beatles in? Pop, Rock, Soul, Rock and Roll, Progressive, Country. There is another question here but ot warrants another thread.

    What is the scale on the impedance curve @stevie?

    Some higher end commercial designs use a thicker, denser ply for the baffle. Adding say an 18mm birch baffle to a poplar cabinet but again this is a minimal cost build. I assume that a cast aluminium frame would help reduce the resonance. Would a ceramic magnet help more than a neo?

    It is around the brightness range of many guitar amps. For pro sound it is a bad thing and Eminence have always been particularly poor at controlling those peaks. it would be interesting to see the specs that Emininence published at the same time as those Basslite plots above to see whether they changed the parameters of the driver or just “smoothed” the response.

    Does the amount of feedback in a stage make a difference?
  12. Chienmortbb
    Really good strings these
  13. Chienmortbb
    This is a very salient point. If your amp is too light you may pull it off the cabinet of wherever else you put it. Thank goodness those coiled leads are a thing of the past.

    When these topics come up we all have to remind ourselves that some have tour grade PAs and others can barely support vocals through the FOH. I would take the RCF as a general backup (if someone gave me one) and could happily use it as a backup. It performs as well as many bass combos. However I would not use it instead of my amp and cab.I don't take a backup but i do take a DI with me although DI'ing through a PA, unless you have a really good PA, it's a waste of time. As a good PA will cost orders of magnitude more than a half decent rig, I will stick with my rig. If I want FRFR with a pedal, I go in via the FX return (or aux in) and my cab is both full range and flat. However after reading this thread I am now considering a small format amp to fit in my accessory box.

    I have a Peavey Millenium Precision that is ply and if I had known that when I bought it I would not have (bought it). However when I took the pickguard off, I finallly realised that tonewood for solid bods was tosh. I have played this bass extensively and out of my five basses this would be the second last to go if I had to sell any.

    It could be a number of things. The distortion could be due to toow much gain, it may also be the output coils saturating. The low cost Class D amps from Ebay/Aliexpress/Banggood etc often scrimp on comonents and that means capacitors and inductors are not up to scratch. Your preamp may also be oscillating and that could be the layout or the lack of an hf bypass cap in the feedback of the opamp. I assume you are using a single supply for the preamp? If the Opamp is a dual rail amp with the inputs biased to half rail (as with most onboard preamps and stomp boxes) you may need more decoupling (smoothing on the lower part from memory), The draw on the negative rail on many opamps is higher than the positive rail and as the rails collapse you can get some really weird noises before the amp finally falls silent.

    Some of us used a UK supplier on EBay for the grilles for the BC112 Mk3 cabs and they were made ti size an quite reasonable. I will try to find the details, Here you go, you can get steel or aluminium. Alluminium is much lighter but does not take finish so well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/sgsmetals/Perforated-Sheet/_i.html?_storecat=7064986013

    I have just fitted the DP123 Model J into the bridge position on my Aerodyne and I very pleased with it. It does seem to me to keep the Jazz sound and is also silent, no buzz or hum.

    Unless one of the variants really cuts loose, we could hgave done it earlier but September seems the right time. Infections will be naturally lower and the vaccines should have really done their stuff by then.

    Always best to use the right tool. It really is easy with the skinny blades. Incidently, I am not clever but when you make as many mistakes as I do, eventually you get to the right answer.
  21. Chienmortbb
    You might just make that one.
  22. Chienmortbb
    Hopefully this helps.

    You are tempting me to add another 8" cab to the After Eighty.

    I read about a study that Fender did regarding the 7th Fret deadspot and if I remember rightly, the result was that the deadspot was caused a a number of things. These included 4 inline machine heads on a long headstock, and bolt on necks, Not surprisingly the report was never actioned for obvious reasons. The conclusion was that the ideal bass had a set neck or neck though and headless. So Ned Steinberger got it right it seems.

    Nice work.
