Clearing out my room I came across some QED Silver Anniversary XT speaker cable (approx 3m). I don't need it for my Hi-Fi so I'm toying with the idea of cutting it in half, putting a set of Speakons on it (the cable should be heavy duty enough to handle amp>cab 16AWG) and comparing it to my @obbm speaker cables. Has anyone done similar with high end / hi-fi cables and more importantly... could you hear a difference?

Now you see, that makes me look silly now! LOL

Not an irreversible mod so it makes sense, especially if you like the actual bass itself.

Traded a Maruszczyk Jazz bass to Kiril for a Warwick FNA... probably the one above! All good, no probs; one of Kiril's friends in the UK handled the UK/Europe side of things. Many thanks.

...and we don't even try 'Reims'!

How much? I think I'll work around the overtones; cheap and cheerful it is for me.

I'm exactly the opposite; I can create and make stuff up but put the dots in front of me and it'd be like a sketch from French & Saunders.

I'll have a pint of what he's having!

Shoot me for blaspheming but I avoid 'blues' jams like the plague (not my cup of tea) but Buskers / Jam with the band - I / IV / V / mVI is your friend. As is knowing what notes are 'generally' available in a Major or Minor key and listen to see if the 7th is flattened if it is Major. If a player starts a song with G major, I kind of know that for the first time around at least I'll be aware that I'll 'likely' have G A B C D E F#... but that could be F (there are variations on standard major/minor scales which come with time and ear training). Once you've done a verse and chorus you will have a better idea of what is going to work and more importantly what is probably best to avoid. I've gone to Buskers and jammed with guys I've never seen, doing original material (they need to have faith in you mind) and I can generally hold my own. I'd also suggest not trying to get too busy as you can easily trip yourself.

Another (identical) cab is the correct answer... regardless of which amp you use.

Just bought a nice 'orange' bass from Dan. All very good; comms, delivery, description etc all spot on. I paid Thursday morning and the bass was in my hands (via courier and good packaging) on Friday before mid-day.

@Phil Starr would you know without me taking my driver out what was OE in the TKS H115? https://www.tks.se/tks.se/_h115.htm

Heretic! Burn him at the stake for speaking falsehoods... however be sure to burn him using G.A.S. as we can't actually afford 'gas'!

Errrrm... don't buy it! If your research shows they are extracting the urine and it is higher than inflation et al, don't buy it and the price will come down... or they'll go bust!

I had an LH1000 for a while... it was a big lump! It didn't take a good 15 seconds or so to power up and you have to be aware if using the Speakon connector and the balance control is at 12:00 you will get less volume than if you had cabs connected to the 1/4 outs! The Bugera will not be anywhere near as powerful in the real world, maybe 500-600w but the difference in perceived output will be negligible.

Like @BigRedX I owned a Lightwave bass and a Zon Sonus equipped with the technology and I have to say it worked flawlessly and I never had any real hassle adjusting it BUT I always felt like I was just waiting for it to fail. Absolutely no reason to think it would glitch or be any worse than a mag or piezo system but it was just too new fangled for me.

A quick search showed that 3 have sold in the last 4 weeks for similar values so it can't be uncommon!

...but it wouldn't be £680! £680 + shipping = £800 + 25% = £1000 So your £680 bass is in reality £1000 and you really have no idea how good it will be when it arrives. This one just sold on ebay for £30 more but you could have picked it up and tried before buying. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165593451318?hash=item268e238b36:g:ThYAAOSwKZBi06zu

If you are only 1 - 1.5mm off what you literally need a piece of thin card almost bordering on thick drawing paper. Actually, looking on my coffee table for reference you'd be thinking along the lines of the cover on a soft back book... Peter V Brett 'The Painted Man' if you must know! LOL In 'the old days' you'd be talking the thickness of a fag packet which might be too thick in your case.
