If you open up the jack plug (if you can) You should be able to tell the difference between an instrument cable and a speaker cable. You'll see in the top picture, the ground connection acts as a shield as it is wrapped around the centre cable. This is great for helping to keep noise at bay. However, should you ram a good few hundred watts down the cable and there is a fault, the centre core shield could melt and short circuit the amp connected to it, thus unleasing said 'magic smoke'. Instrument cable: Although this picture below isn't great, you can see two separate cores with their own insulation, thus giving a far greater protection against shorting. The actual core of each wire in a decent speaker cable will be much much thicker (heavier gauge) too and this can carry a greater current. To give an example of what each cable has to contend with, guitar signals are usually in the milliampere range (mA) whereas the output of an amplifier is 100x greater in the range of Amperes! Speaker cable I know which I would connect to my beloved bass amplifiers! - Infact - the speaker cables I use are massive! 2x4mm oh and yes, of course - from OBBM!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1100439' date='Jan 24 2011, 09:02 AM']Is that a status 6 string fretless? Do you still have it? I love that. I think I bought my little rack off you dude, but that's for studio gear, not a bass rig [/quote] It is a Status yes - an Energy 6 - I'm afraid I don't have it - I sold it here on Basschat a while ago! As far as I know, it's still being loved somewhere! Oh was that the rack with the blue light in the back? It's funny you should mention that - as I may be after a shallow 4u rack before too long (I think that one was a standard rack though.)

Mike (URB) uses a similar method to me, but instead of using separate software for my video - I use Reaper, which is a DAW - but you can get a free video plug in for it too. This means, I record my audio in Reaper as usual, but set my webcam's software to record a high quality video (HD compliant) at the same time. Once I have finished, I can import the video straight in to Reaper - sync it up (takes about 5 seconds) - do a new mix (which can include the webcam's mic output too) then export to Youtube's favourite file type. - It's worth playing with the settings to get the highest quality video online. I've got a few simple videos up on my YouTube page in my signature [url="http://www.youtube.com/DoodOnBass"]http://www.youtube.com/DoodOnBass[/url]

This isn't the first time that Silversone have been upsetting customers. There's another thread on the forum with some stories of woe on it. Sorry to hear of your woes, I hope that you get your money back!

[quote name='charic' post='1101271' date='Jan 24 2011, 07:53 PM']That's what drummers are for isn't it? [/quote] Nooo - it's the reason they left the handles off! To stop drummers from gnawing on them when you're not looking. Like flippin' goats!

I've never heard of Krampera but took a quick look at the marketing spiel on their website. So I thought I'd post it here for a discussion and views - You guys heard of this company?? *shrugs* Original website post here: [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/latest-news/59-krampera--the-kvb-bass-guitar-system.html?utm_source=london+bass+show&utm_medium=facebook"]http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/latest...medium=facebook[/url] Website here: [url="http://www.krampera.co.uk/"]http://www.krampera.co.uk/[/url]

I've subscribed too - and if any of you use the Facebook/Spotify connector - you can add me on FB via facebook.com/DoodOnBass or my muso page in my sig.

Hey Stuee! Welcome aboard - I just spotted your post about the Patrick Eggle Bass - sorry to hear of your 'loss' - That's a tastey looking instrument! I also spotted that you are from Wilts, I was born there and - well I guess in comparison to where I am now - it was pretty near to Stone Henge too! heh!

[quote name='callingltu' post='1098696' date='Jan 22 2011, 02:55 PM']Duuuude... Thats a collection of the ugliest basses i've ever seen[/quote] You're most certainly welcome to your own opinion - It'd be a boring world if we all liked the same thing! Your post did make me chuckle though.

[quote name='Krohurte' post='1098507' date='Jan 22 2011, 11:40 AM']No it wasn't the the valves. Fresh ones in, same problem.[/quote] Ahh poop! - Yeah, sorry about the geekiness of my last post. The FETs are basically like 'electronic switches' in the V-t. The foot switches only control those electronic switches, as opposed to a lot of pedals where the audio signal travels through the foot switch itself. I wondered if there was a problem somewhere with them not conducting properly. Only one would need to be at fault. Agreed about the PSU - are you using an official one with the pedal? It's worth just checking that the one you have is the correct voltage AND is capable of supplying enough current to drive the pedal.

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' post='1098301' date='Jan 22 2011, 01:43 AM']What about the other way around? At the minute I'm using peavey eurosys something or other pa cabs and they are dandy![/quote] Yep, I guess it was more just pondering the question as I have seen threads asking about using PA cabs for bass - so I thought I'd throw i out there for discussion. There's much talk about 'super cabs' these days with 'flatter frequency response' being a big selling point. I find that being able to have tools (in this case cabinets) that can 'multi-task' in my current line of work could prove beneficial.

Here's some pictures of a few 'rigs' that I've had in the past! and some bits I still use. Maaaaan do I like flashing lights ha hah a! Disgusting Dood, just ... deary me! EDIT: I'd just like to add that this 'stuff' is over many years of playing. I'm not loaded or anything *embarrassed a bit*

29!! Woh! That's like.. an army of kitteh! Good luck with rehoming - that's quite a task you have there!

[quote name='51m0n' post='1095078' date='Jan 19 2011, 01:03 PM']I thought everyone knew that Bergantino cabs make THE best PA cabs in the world (probably)[/quote] Woh! Impressive

[quote name='stef030' post='1098151' date='Jan 21 2011, 09:59 PM']the one and only FRANCIS DUNNERY [/quote] Actually, yeah I like IT Bites! [quote name='funkypenguin' post='1098249' date='Jan 21 2011, 11:58 PM']Guthrie Govan. most complete guitar player ive ever heard, would love to back him [/quote] Also a good call, he'd be great too. I always like playin' & shreddin' with my mate Andy James too - but I guess that wouldn't be imaginary cos I can do that whenever!
