It's........

That was your cunning plan all along wasn't it! Beautifully executed in a marvellously Machiavellian way

I'd suggest you don't use your own cable as if the problem repeats they could argue that it's the cable not the socket that's at fault, before you go request they use one of their cables to demonstrate it's all working OK 👍

You should all be learning Mustang Sally 👍

You're all just jockeying for position as best punster 🤔

You thought that up on the hoof didn't you?

You guys

Ah got ya 👍🙂

I had that with a UAD interface a few years back, extremely annoying. I eventually got it out after gently jiggling it (is that a thing) for a few minutes every day for about 3 weeks. It hadn’t happened before, and it hasn’t happened since, but it’s made me a lot more careful in how I use and care for cables, being very gentle when inserting and removing, and checking for any small dents or signs of wear frequently 👍

Oops, already done

Just like a good bassist 👍

Yamaha use it and they know their stuff 👍

I'm guessing the supermarkets will do what the government and various agencies allow them to, ironically given this thread they're business not charities

Very good post in every respect Ben, thanks 🙏

Where did you buy yours @DGBass?

@Dan Dare I probably didn't explain myself very well. I didn't mean the 'privilege to gig' statement as in any way an indicator of it being undeserved, more that when Im look at life generally - especially now - I feel bloody privileged that I'm able to do it, from the perspective of everything from being in good enough health, sufficiently motivated, having decent gear and (just about) having the ability, to having a bunch of mates not only in my current band but in my circle to whom I can pick up the phone and say 'fancy doing some gigs' and find myself in my garage or a rehearsal studio pretty quickly playing the music we choose to play and lining up gigs. Not always that simple of course, but mostly. Hence my 'privilege' comment 👍
