Good to know! Fortunately I only have one cab for now and have a 1/4" cable to use as a backup.

I think occasional forays into the red is an approach that Ashdown actively encourage?

Dave also has Views on the manufacturer of the cables, and suggests finding ones with actual Neutrik connectors.

Agreed, I noticed a huge difference between the 500 and 600, but that could be because the power amp in the specific 500 was on the way out.

I think Sire describe it as "tobacco burst", despite every other manufacturer having a tobacco burst that's effectively a 2TS with just the black and brown bands. This is a 2TS with red and brown. I have a tobacco burst V7 and it's great (albeit it will be sold later in the year to finance a bass I've been after for years) - enjoy!

Oh god, that's awful. Poor Norm Stockton seems to be thinking "what in the tone deaf nonsense am I doing here?"

Same here, but no courier is perfect. Our local Hermes delivery person is fantastic for example, but she seems to be an exception by all accounts.

Looks like these are the only options other than posting a letter: https://www.dpd.co.uk/content/how-can-we-help/contact.jsp

First thread I've seen on here being Godwin'd!

That's fair enough and will depend on how well you trust the seller. The Monzo links all start monzo.me so hopefully this will start to get the word out there that such links aren't scammy.

In the app if you go to the payments tab then request money, click "by QR code or link", it'll give you a QR code to scan and an option to create a link. I generally use it to request money from my bandmates if I've booked the rehearsal studio as you can set the amount and a custom description for the transaction to appear on their bank statement, e.g. if you sold an Ampeg amp, you could call the description "[your name] Ampeg amp purchase via BC" or something similar that fits within any space constraints.

Ooh Aah ... Just A Little Bit - Gina G

I've used anyvan.com before for "man and van" services, although the actual people in vans prefer not to use it because of the fees that get added on.

Another option is with Monzo you can generate a link so someone can pay by debit card and the money will go into your account immediately without you having to give out your bank details, if that was a concern. You could set up an account just for doing transactions such as this (if you use my referral link here we'll both get £5 - no pressure though...).
