If the head can do 2/4/8 ohm loads then you have no problem with the amp (the load will be between 2-4 ohms). The 2x12 won't have any affect on the 1x12 load as such but sensitivity dependent one might be working harder than the other, in which case use your ears!

First impressions Kev?

Wal definitely did XLR + 1/4" as I 'think' did Overwater and my Washburn AB20 acoustic bass has a 1/4" and XLR. Sure there are others.

NS 2004... flagship! [size=4] [/size]

£40 and just a speaker connection to fix? If it really was that easy to fix (IMHO) it would be fixed and command a much higher price... if it is too good to be true!

Both thru-neck (NT) but the SSII has an 'invisible' conceal. Body woods very different; (now) Maple on SSI, Afzelia on SSII. Pups; JJ on SSII PJ on SSI. There are other lesser differences but that is essentially it... Oh and they sound totally different!

I can't and won't refute what you've said about using furniture polish as I only have personal experience to act upon but to add £0.02 to the mix... The bass in question is sealed and lacquered (if it is a W finish and has a colour it must be) as such no polish can clog the wood grain etc. As to the fact that polish residue will attract dirt... blimey have you seen what the official W wax is like! It always leaves a residue which tends to get stickier with playing (friction/heat) and as such is an absolute dirt magnet. Which leaves the dilemma of polish leaving a residue that makes refinishing problematic. I personally know 3 or 4 people who 'professionally' (i.e. their living or main part of, is made from it) finish/refinish instruments and they all use white spirits to wipe down instruments between sanding and applications, so residues are wiped off as a matter of course and I'd have thought that the polishes and paints (never mind the wood dust) clogs the glass/sandpaper any way... added to which a thin film or residue left by polish would hardly clog the first sanding process which can be (depending on the thickness of lacquer/paint) quite coarse. Aside from that I wonder how many instruments that might get polished with 'Pledge' will actually end up being refinished... it must be a very small percentage. As I say, not wishing to 'argue' but it seems quite a strong reaction to using a product which to most people will never have any negative impact.

Hmmmm it begs the question 'Would the clip have been posted if she didn't have a nice top on?' IMHO no, otherwise I can potentially find hundreds (if not tens of thousands) of youtube bassists playing along to songs!

I have one that I don't play... but bite marks appear on my knuckles every time I consider selling it!

No need to apologise. [size=4] [/size] [size=4]What does 'Pledge' actually do that is so wrong? [/size] [size=4]Purely out of interest because I don't use furniture polish on any of my instruments [/size] (though I may have done on my Hondo Ric/Ibanez Jazz many moons ago)[size=4] BUT I do know several people who have happily polished their guitars and basses for donkey's years (I've been playing 34 years and some of these people have owned guitars longer than me) with furniture polish and their pride and joy is still shining and playing as if nothing were the matter... what physical manifestation of the devil's work is actually visible when you polish your instrument? [/size]

You've had your questions re. the nut answered (that model 'always' does it), as well as the jack socket (yes, they are pants and you need to install a good quality replacement; Switchcraft/Neutik etc.). As for the finish; if it is 'coloured' you don't wax (the wax can't penetrate through the finish so it is a waste) and I realise that Grangur is screaming/highlighting his views re. pledge but your bass isn't a 'natural' wax finish and the pledge should polish off like it would any other non-porous surface.

Cheers for the input folks. I've bought and sold *cough* a 'few' times and I've almost always done it through a direct bank transfer BUT it has always been with folk who are either well established or at least in this country and with some form of feedback. This one is a little different as it is a complete newbie who lives in the States and I'm always wary of anything 'International'.

Not sure if this is 'off-topic' material but seems best place! I have a guy interested in buying a bass from me; he has registered on BC in order to contact me re. the purchase. However... how do I accept payment from him in the 'safest' manner, for me. I say 'for me' because I am talking about my specific circumstances and I know that I will send the bass as and when it is successfully paid for, so I don't need to consider different scenarios i.e. whether it is best for the buyer. There is paypal but I've had experiences with them that have soured my view of them and their practices; added to which there are fees and the money could potentially be claimed back (IIRC). He has offered to do an International wire transfer but I have no idea who he is and could sending someone my bank details jeopardise my account security? I'd appreciate any constructive views re. how to do this in the safest manner possible. Cheers.
