    I don't know what sort of socket it is. If it is a surface one, then you can probably bend the pins back, but if it is a barrel one (that are notoriously unreliable) there isn't that much you can do other than replacing it.

    When I took mine apart I had seen a takeapart guide on the internet, although there wasn't much to it. Now I look I can find the guide but the pictures are missing (which is odd as it was only last year). That was here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/guide-to-modifying-a-neutrik-locking-jack.86990/ but when I took mine out (I didn't have a lot of wire either) it was pretty clear how to get the spring out (I was looking to get the red bit out but when I tried the spring came out instead, so that worked).

    Probably the jack socket has shorted out so it is on all the time.

    I started listening to them from the Paul Di'Anno years but still think Number of the beast to powerslave were the top albums.

    Not only pointless but a bit harmful I would say. If I accidentally trip over a cable on a stage, do I want the bass to go flying, the amp to go flying, the cable to be ripped out of the plug or just the plug to come out so I can put it back in? I really don't get the problem it is trying to solve. I got a bit fed up having to take the bass off to remove the plug! thing is, without the spring, it is a nice socket

    Drop the socket out, take out the screw and the spring comes out. Without that it doesn't force it to lock. I can't be doing with those sort of sockets on an instrument.

    I agree about the socket, but you don't need to do all that, just take the spring out of the socket, then all is fine with them. Thats what I did with mine.

    And sold to a nice gentleman in IKEA Carpark!

    Took the amp and pedalboard out today as I had to test an amp I am shipping out tomorrow. Everything works fine.

    Doesn't seem unreasonable. £3 for shipping, £137 to get on the ferry...

    I practiced all the time. However, doing two 3 hour gigs on consecutive nights shows you cant practice your skin staying on!

    Probably not a huge amount but I am sure they would have a following. The songs are great fun to play

    I guess that depends on your definition of preamps. it certainly has preamp models, in distortion, but that is what a lot of people want in preamps, I think it covers everything you would want in a preamp, tone shaping, stereo balancing, mixing, gain changing, overdrive, IRs (it has those). I doesn't have amplifier models but then niether do most standalone pre-amps.
  14. Woodinblack
    That would be an interesting signature model. Most are fairly pointless.

    For reference, this was originally with a TC450 and 2xRH112 cabs, all brand new from the shop. I have now changed to an ashdown ABM600, the behaviour is the same.

    The HX FX also models two of the other preamps

    That is one of my 'directional' cables. 4 pole / 2 wire. They have a piece of tape at one end saying which end goes to the amp. They only work one way round. I think I am just going to buy a load of 4 wire cable and rewire them as its one less thing to worry about.

    Well, updated my beringer CT100 tester for a CT200, which now has speakons on it! Seems like a couple of 4 way plugs with 2 wires.

    Put some of those markbass coated strings on the EHB last week, the nickels (I have stainless too, but the ehb doesn't need to be brighter!). That was a 130 bottom string I think, with no issues - they are the ones I couldn't fit to the shuker as it was too wide at the bottom

    Some people have a lot of time to spend coming into a thread of someone else having a problem they don't care about just to say they don't care about the problem 10x2
  21. Woodinblack
    What you could describe as quite a long way north of "about £500"

    I have seen a cable melt open, but as you say it is less common (and is normally to do with overheating in the plug). However, from Leos point of view, it makes sense. His options were really Jack or RCA, and the Jack already has the short on not plugged in thing happening. Plus his amps at the start were 6W and 15W, and cables were probably heavier back then so probably no problem. If only guitar amps had stayed at those sensible levels!
  23. Woodinblack
    No, the list price said no tax. Oh well, never mind, I should have checked now, will check next time on these things

    Not sure how people can think that 2 bf210s would be considered small. I mean, yes, it has probably a few square inches of less floor, but as someone that plays in small pubs, I would never have the space for that. the 2 RH112s with an amp on come up to waist heigh and if necessary fits under the cymbals by the drum kit.

    Because he is special to you. to him, he is just him and his bass is just his bass, so it may be less siginficant. Neither of us know what it means to him, he might be sick to death of it and be happy with the new ones and happy with how much money it would get. Some people aren't really hung up on objects and some people are..
