[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1510131334' post='3404109'] The main thing for me is that the cable doesn't fail. There's nothing worse than all this "is it the cable?" nonsense when things go wrong. Cables with good quality cable and connectors last forever. [/quote] It depends how much handling the cable gets. If you're playing regularly, then any cables that get regular movement, such as plugged & unplugged, rolled up, etc are liable to suffer wear & tear, but they should last a good length of time. My main instrument cable is about 12 years old & apart from being frayed at the ends on the cloth outer, it's still in perfect working order.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1510077267' post='3403822'] Well that to be expected from any digital interface cable, you've either got a signal or you havn't generally. Analogue bass/guitar cables have some amount of variation of signal quality but the variation will be amongst the sub-par ones, all of the decent quality ones will sound moorless the same. [/quote] Agreed. My point being that if a company will market such bull, then I won't believe what they say about their audio cables. The known jack plug issue with Monster being one such bit of crap that they do, so you buy another of their cables & it stays in the jack, but no one else's will.

Sometimes I regret selling my Moog filters. They were great fun.

I buy the cable & jacks & make my own. If I couldn't solder, then I'd probably go with OBBM too. I've got a Monster HDMI cable which VirginMedia paid £80 for me for it & I have a £3.99 no brand HDMI cable. I've A/B'd them several times & apart from the Monster cable looking cooler, there's no difference in sound or picture. As Monster sell such with false marketing guff, I'd never personally buy any of their products. I've got a good quality kettle lead that the Mrs got of a PC at work that wasn't required (she works in IT) & she also got me a kettle lead extender, so it can be 4 miters long! The light on my amp has never looked so good so far away from a socket.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1509888051' post='3402317'] Me too! [/quote] I figured ChrisB & Les could get together for this one (see Les' post at the top of this page). For 90/00's indie, all you have to do is wear clothes that don't go together & lose the dress sense.

I posted a similar thread back in December. You're all wrong. It's this... http://youtu.be/QHsGaGmCtlE Still makes me smile. You need to listen to it all to appreciate it, not just a little bit of the start.

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1509622275' post='3400341'] Our stickman turned up last night with a pair of earplugs. For some reason this ended up with him playing more quietly. Result. [/quote] Could well be due to feeling like he doesn't have to compete against a loud guitarist?

Driver diameter has sod all to do with it. I have an EBS 4x10 & have no clank unless I dial in for clank. I think it's a characteristic of the amp in question.

If I were to get filters again, it would be the Moog MF-101 & possibly a MF-105m (I had the 105b before). I don't have a need for them just now, but I do sometimes miss those awesome subby synth sounds.

Well done & nice work! I'm looking forward to this month's now.

“The Talas Years” has a huge amount of excellent playing by Billy. Has the original version of Shyboy as well as a couple of his solo pieces. He’s always been on of my inspirations since the 80s, but I always felt his sound lacked low end.

The Mrs, who's never been a fan of U2 just discovered the Joshua Tree album about 2 months ago. It's now one of her fave albums.

Aye. I saw that a few weeks back. Never thought anymore of it, but it might be worth investigating.

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1509276490' post='3397696'] Just in case someone reads this in isolation and not to be a clever dick... but 2 16 ohm in parallel would be [b][i]8 ohm[/i][/b] - not 32 ohm as stated. 2 16 ohm in [b][i]series[/i][/b] would be 32 ohm. Probably just a typo though. Frank. [/quote] Yup, I was trying to post while I was at work & just as I started the post, it got busy. I meant to go back & correct it, but forgot all about it. I’ll go do that now.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1509125208' post='3396883'] Shouldn't this type of thread be pinned? [/quote] You'll find this type of thread in the "Amps & Cabs" section. I thought there was something similar pinned there. Just checked & it's the top pin. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/135-impedance-etc/

I think over the years AC has produced some brilliant basslines. They may not be hard to play, but they're certainly either melodic or make a good groove.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1509114047' post='3396749'] Not strictly true... you can but you get missmatched loads [/quote] Which it would actually make sense to use different ohm cabs if the cabs were different. E.G. a 16 ohm 2x10 with an 8 ohm 4x10. This way all the drivers are getting the same from the amp. Whereas if you were to use a 2x10 & 4x10 that were both 8 ohm, the 2 10s in one cab would be getting the same power as the other 4 in the other cab.

Either series or parallel is gonna be fine. 2 16 ohm in series would be fine too, as that would be 32 ohm, but not many people want to do that.

Gold... But only if you change all the hardware to gold too.

I've had him in several guises. Both as a guitarist & as a singer. I think the problem is that there are too many people who want to "play" guitar or "sing" in a band, but they haven't attained the required skills.

I've started learning ukulele too. Would like to try Bouzouki some time. At the end of the day, each instrumet is there to fill a bigger purpose. Though I think more guitarists could benefit from knowing this.

Why not stick the wheelboard on the side of the 2x12? Lay it down to move it. Sacktrolley FTW though!

I used to play my electroacoustic through my Markbass 2x10 combo. Sounded good too. I've not tried it through my crrent 4x10 rig.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1508540398' post='3392909'] No, all the pixies I've ever seen have all worn pointy hats, rather like Noddy (although he's not a pixie; it's just that he wears a pointy hat [i]similar [/i]to that worn by all the pixies I've ever seen, but with a bell, that's all...).
