Does anyone have any experience of running a bass into the main input of an amp and a synth into the FX return (so that the signal isn't coloured by the preamp) allowing you to have them both come out of your amp? The amp is an orange bass terror and the synth is a novation bass station 2. Or any other suggestions of using the two in conjunction? Or is it just easier to use the PA for the synth? Thanks in advance.

Sold an amp to Greg, prompt payment and had no issues with the transaction. Buy/sell with confidence!

[quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1509477809' post='3399314'] If it was 4-pole and wired to +2, -2 it probably wouldn't work. Most Speakon's are wired +1, -1. Is the Speakon on your amp a combined Speakon/Jack? If so you can use a Jack to Jack speaker lead to test it. [/quote] I’ve tried using the jack end in the Speakon and it fits, so I’m guessing it is a hybrid. However I’m planning on getting a bass terror soon and I’m pretty sure that they aren’t hybrid. I also don’t have a jack to jack speaker lead so I can’t test it unfortunately. Just bought a Neutrik Speakon to jack so hopefully that’s going to work. Thanks😎

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1509475499' post='3399294'] 1. How old is the amp? i.e what is the year of manufacture? 2. Is the Speakon on your new cable a genuine Neutrik? 3. Does waggling the Speakon and cable up and down make any difference? [/quote] It's about 9 Years old. It isn't Neutrik, it's gear4music which is giving me some cause for concern. And no, it doesn't. I have a feeling that they sent me the wrong cable as the pole piece in the centre of the input (I'm sure that's probably not the correct terminology lol) is round, whereas I have another 2 pole neutrik brand speakon that has more of a semicircular pole piece. The one I just bought does fit the connection though so I'm unsure of how to differentiate between them. If it was a 4 pole, would this be the reason it's not working?

Bought a cab over the weekend and I was looking forward to trying out today as the cable I bought to connect it to the amp arrived but no dice. Not getting any output and I'm unsure as to why. The cab has jack inputs but the head I have now (which is for sale) and the amp I plan on buying both have speakon outs. I bought a two pole last time for my old cab (which required speakon to speakon) not really knowing what the difference was, but it worked. I bought a two pole speakon-jack cable for this because I thought it'd work with the head I'm using but not getting any sound out. The cab worked when I tried it out on the weekend and the head worked last time I used it. The Amp seems to be working now because when I plug in, the peak indication light flashes when it's meant to. Sorry this is all very long winded and may not make much sense

[quote name='jaybass 70' timestamp='1507972412' post='3389046'] I bought gillentos TA503 about 6 years ago , never looked back or wanted another amp , sounds fantastic , good luck with the sale [/quote] Certainly is a great amp, sounds fantastic. Just doesn’t really suit what I’m doing at the moment and I can’t justify have more than one amp at a time.

[quote name='slapmonsta' timestamp='1507650113' post='3386992'] Is that an Italian-built 2x12 cab? Thanks [/quote] No, as far as I can remember it's one of the newer models, and as of late most of their amps are produced in the Far East.

Markbass TA503 - now £400 As far as I know, this is the precursor to the current Little Mark series, and made in Italy unlike its modern contemporaries. It has a dual tube preamp and SS power amp with semi parametric EQ (one knob selects the specific frequency within a given band(bass, low mid, high mid, highs) and the other boasts or cuts it). Great sounding head, bucket loads of headroom and a really warm, natural sound. Two Speakon outputs, DI out and level, tuner, effects loop etc. These are currently out of production and don't come by too often. Used to be £1k+ when new and I'm asking for 500 Comes with case and I will be willing to ship. Markbass NY122 - £450 SOLD I'll post the head but I'd much prefer for the cab to be collected. It's currently based in Wrexham, North Wales but I can get it up to Leeds if necessary, and I'll travel a short distance of you want to meet me for it.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1501829451' post='3347575'] I only rarely use a pick, and when I do it is way quieter. I'm going to suggest something completely different to all the above. You are, like me, probably playing too hard fingers style. I dig in big time. I know I'm not supposed to, have read up on the theory, and have even practiced turning up and playing more gently. I just can't stick to it, and quickly get back to digging in. [/quote] Definitely true of me, especially live (go full Geddy at times). But this last gig was Americana/blues/country stuff and I was playing pretty lightly with fingers when I noticed the difference. Cheers though, it's something to bear in mind in future though I'm thinking EQ could be a potential solution. Since fingers obviously give a rounder tone I'm guessing the stronger fundamental is giving the illusion of higher volume, compared to a pick.
