    A quick update to my last comment. I've just got off the phone from Jimmy after it turned out that the speaker cab I'd sent him had been damaged in transit. He'd already had the speaker replaced - his tech had diagnosed that the cab had been dropped which had dislodged the magnet which had killed the speaker - but was an absolute gentleman about the whole thing. He was philosophical about the experience and put it down to being one of those things. He was even gracious enough to turn down my offer to cover half of the additional unexpected costs. Basschat is full of decent people but how many people are truly that gracious when things go wrong like this? It gets banded about a lot on some of the feedback threads but Jimmy is an absolute credit to Basschat. Don't just deal in confidence with Jimmy, deal in absolute confidence.

    Jimmy bought a cab from me and it was nice easy sale, he paid promptly and let me know once it had arrived safe and sound.

    There's always one, and it's usually me. And this is no exception I had a set of La Bella's come fitted with a short scale Warwick Corvette and I couldn't take them off quick enough! I don't like bright bass sounds by any stretch but the La Bella's were devoid of any definition, just an non-descript, woolly thud. The closest analogy I can come up with is when the elderly couple next door (we live in a semi joined onto theirs) turn up their telly up really loud and you can hear something but can't make out what it is, it was like that. No punch, no clarity, no life. And no amount of EQ'ing could get a usable sound of them for me. 10 minutes later they were off the bass for good. My JMJ came with factory Fender flats and they were much better, there was more clarity and definition and you could recognise different pitches and notes which I couldn't do with the La Bellas. But I still prefer rounds and once I'd fitted my favourite Nikel D'Addario 50-105's to my short scales they all feel like they have much more life in them, the audio equivalent from going from VHS to 4K HD without bothering with DVD or Blu-Ray in between.

    Selling my Tecamp M212 cab with Roqsolid cover. It's a 4 ohm, 600 watt cab with a pair of 12" drivers and an adjustable tweeter. It weighs around 20-22 Kg so is an easy lift considering its size. It's in excellent condition, it has a couple small nicks in the Tolex but no obvious rips or tears. Comes with a fitted Roqsolid cover that cost nearly £100 on its own! This had been my main gigging cab for a few years prior to the last band moving over to IEM's. As such it has been used but not abused. It's a huge sounding, transparent cab that puts out what you put in without imparting much in the way of its own flavour. It can put out huge, deep lows, big punchy mids and a top end that is bright but never shrill. But it'll faithfully reproduce whatever you put into it. It's a perfect single cab solution. The only reason for sale is that I'm downsizing to a smaller cab as I don't need so much volume these days. £500 or reasonable offers. I'm looking for a straight sale please, no trades. Collection preferred from just outside sunny Wellingborough Unfortunately I don't have any suitable packaging to post this but I'm willing to drive around an hour or so from Wellingborough for a socially distanced car park handover. Update - Collection from London is now an option too as I have a mate there who said he'd help out. But please allow a few days for me to get the cab there if you want to collect from London.

    Selling my Ashdown RM-112 cab. It's an 8 ohm, 300 watt cab with a single 12" driver and a switchable tweeter. It weighs a modest 14 Kg so is an easy one hand lift. It's in overall good condition, it has a few small nicks in the Tolex but no obvious rips or tears. Comes with a fitted cover. I'm ideally ooking for a straight sale please although I could possibly be tempted to trade for a decent preamp pedal. Collection preferred from just outside sunny Wellingborough although postage might be an option at the buyers cost and risk.

    Love the psychedelic scratch plate, where did you get it? I have an identical bass and it now needs one too

    Quick update on this, I ordered some of these, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122740864851 M5 size (5mm as I understand it) and they are perfect for what I need. They're a very snug fit but reassuringly so, I ordered 20 yellow ones as I expected to lose a few when out gigging but I can't see them coming off unless deliberately pulled which is unlikely as the loose daisy chain connectors are now cable tied to the underside of the board. They're also now beer proof too - at least I hope so. So thanks again to @MartinB for pointing me in the right direction

    You ought to get onto Spector's marketing department with this, it sounds like they're missing a trick, "That delicious Spector growl - it sounds like there must be something up with your amp" 😀

    The Super Siamese Twin, surely?
  10. Osiris
    Cheers, that's exactly what I'm looking for 😃 Maybe half a dozen or so, a couple to use on the board and some spares in case any go missing. I'll probably order a job lot of 10 or 20 from the eBay links above.

    The closest thing I can find online is these, but haven't been able to find anything in the UK yet. https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/cable-cap-power-all-insulator-caps-barrel-connectors

    Cheers folks, I like the idea of a sleeve, would some heat shrink tubing work? Just thinking that it'd probably last longer than some electrical tape.

    Wasn't sure how to best title this but I have a question about a couple of unused outputs on a daisy chain. I've put together a small utilitarian pedal board powered with a daisy chain*. I've tidied the cabling up and the unused outputs are on the underside of the board, do they need to be covered to make them waterproof, or more accurately beer proof, as the board will be gigged? Or do they need to be shielded in any way? Or are they OK left exposed? Does it even matter? Any thoughts, folks? *It works fine for my needs, there's no noise or any need for an expensive isolated supply.

    Just received a cab from Clarky, and all was great. He was an absolute gent to deal with from start to finish.

    Just received a pedal board with a power supply and a shed load of patch cables from Patrick and it was a quick and easy, hassle free transaction. All was quickly delivered and well packaged. I'm happy to recommend him as a sound guy to deal with to other Basschat users.

    The steaming turd icon by the input socket should make this an essential purchase for everyone 💩
  17. Osiris
    I'm not concerned as such, more curious. But the question still stands should you care to indulge me. For the record I have bought a tuner and cable this year. Neither good nor bad, just purely functional.
  18. Osiris
    Not trying to be an arse here, at least no more than usual 😃, but is this a case of cause and effect? Or more accurately effect (no, not pedals) and cause? In that if you didn't spend so much time buying gear that - and I may be wrong here - you seem to be buying with the intention of not actually using, plus the time spent selling it on afterwards, then you might actually have the time to use the gear that you currently own? * *Smiley to show that this enquiry is good natured, albeit I am genuinely curious to know why you buy gear and then don't seem to use it as I buy gear and then put it through its paces both at home and out on gigs.
  19. Osiris
    So we're both right. Or we're both wrong. 😃 Possibly true as a sweeping generalisation, but in literal terms it's still accurate whether people choose to define it that way or not. Just sayin'... 😉 I know, it was meant to be rhetorical as it's already been covered. Maybe another case of adding a smiley would have made my intention clearer 🙄

    Or is it a pre-amp?

    Regarding the conversation in question, I was quoting the Oxford English Dictionary definition of the world multi whereas you were going by your own interpretation of the word. Did you ever contact the OED to let them know they were wrong?

    The Genzler Magellan amps have in-built high pass filters, they're fixed with a "steep roll of below 30Hz". I had that information from an email from Jeff Genzler himself when I asked the question.
  23. Osiris
    Just had an email about this new intriguing looking EQ pedal from Genzler, featuring a 5 band EQ plus high and low pass filters. Got to admit I'm a massive Genzler fanyboy so looking forward to giving this a try as and when. RE/Q - DUAL FUNCTION EQUALIZATION PEDAL - Genzler Amplification

    I very much doubt that anyone's hymen would have remained intact after encountering that stench 🤢🤮

    Met up with Frank again today, this time to hand over a pedal. Everything that has already been said about him is still true. No fuss, prompt payment and turned when he said he would - although I might have been late 😃 Anyway, the moral of today's story is don't spend more than a couple of minutes in an enclosed space with Frank otherwise you will be subjected to chemical warfare from his unstable botty. And believe me, it's not pleasant.
