Closing Down Sale £2 Farnham, Surrey - GU10 1

[obbm]

As some of you already know Mrs OBBM and I will be relocating to West Cornwall once our current house has been sold and I am taking the move as an opportunity to wind-up Rock-Wire and fully retire.

I am therefore starting to sell off surplus cable and components.

Sommer SC-Classique Vinatge Tweed Yellow/Black @ £2.00 per metre plus postage

Sommer Tricone Mk2 @ £1 per metre plus postage (good for pedalboards)

Sommer Spirit LLX @ £2.50 per metre plus postage

Klotz AC110 @ £2.50 per metre plus postage

Sommer SYMASYM Combined Instrument/Monitor Cable @ £5 per metre

Hicon Banjo Jacks @£2.00 each

Postage will depend on length/weight and the cheapest is Royal Mail 2nd Class @ £3.00 for up to 2Kg.

Shame to read that OBBM. Thanks for all the cables!

Enjoy your retirement.

Sorry to hear this Dave, though obviously it sounds lovely for you and Mrs OBBM. Thanks for all the cable-related help. I'm sure I'll be playing through your cables for very many years to come.

What he said.  

A lovely part of the world (though it rains a lot).  Whereabouts in W Cornwall?

About midway between Hayle and Helston near Godolphin House. Easy reach of both coasts and away from the touristy places.  I left Cornwall when I was 11 and now it's time to go home, albeit 63 years later.  It remains to be seen what the music situation is there and whether anyone wants a 74 year old bass player. 😀

[Paul S]

Ooh, that's lovely round there.  Hayle is so very pretty (plus the home of Philps pasties of course).  I have a good friend, Jane, who runs a plant nursery 'Hayle Plants' which is almost walking distance from where you are talking about.  She is an excellent grower, should you need anything for your new garden   

[Hanry]

I could do with some cable, I am negotiating budget with the treasury tonight 😉

Can't help noticing that your LLX price on your website is cheaper than the one you advertised here - is that intentional? 🙂

[obbm]

Yes.  The website price is for fully made cables with connectors.  This just for raw cable..

[Hanry]

Sorry, I think I am being dense - a cable with connectors atached is £2 per meter, but straight off the roll is it £2.50 per meter?

[obbm]

For several years a cable has been £14 for a pair of jacks plus £2 per metre for the cable.  If you want just the cable it's £2.50 per metre.

Thanks for all the quality gear you've made for us BassChatters over the years, OBBM. I think we've always regarded you as the industry standard.

Enjoy your retirement and the best of times in your new home

Hayle have an excellent brass band. What are you like on Eb bass?

Sorry to hear this @obbm, but hope the move and the retirement are both enjoyable!

Does this mean you’ve ceased taking custom orders already or are you still “open for business” for a little longer?

Thanks. I invested in  a quantity of cable before the anticipated Brexit last March and before we decided to move so I'm initially trying to reduce my stock. It may be a while before we actually move so its business as usual until then or the end of the current financial year, which ever comes first.  If I still have some cable and components left then I will undertake the occasional custom job for BC members and friends. One of the complications will be postage as there is no convenient Post Office close to where we are moving and the mobile one only visits once a week.  Oh the joys of rural Cornwall.

Enjoy the surfing!

I was about to write something but the above sums it up. 
 

Thanks!

[Jus Lukin]

Your cables and service will be missed Dave- glad I picked up those last few bits when I did!

Thanks for your good work, and enjoy taking it easy!

[Linus27]

I've used Dave's cables for years and not only industry standard as already said, they have not once let me down.

Hope you have a fantastic retirement and future adventures in Cornwall.

Thanks for everything Dave.

[lemmywinks]

Does this mean our OBBM cables are now rare collectors items?

[dmccombe7]

Enjoy yourselves in Cornwall. 

As others have said we'll miss you a lot on BC and many thanks for the excellent service you've provided over the years sir.

A true gentleman 

Al the very best

Dave

[bigthumb]

All the very best Dave and again, thanks for the great cables. 

Enjoy your well deserved retirement sir.

Great to hear you'll still be playing. We're still gonna miss your excellent workmanship with our cables.

If my cables ever give out i'll need to retire cause no-one else makes cables to that quality Dave.

Retirement is brilliant. Did it 3 yrs ago now and all stress has disappeared completely. I can now do what i want and when i want as long as my wife approves of course. 

Enjoy retirement from work.

Dave

[Thor]

Just to echo the sentiments of many others - thanks for all your help with my cabling requirements and advice along the way🙂

Enjoy your retirement and West Cornwall - lovely! 😁

[stewblack]

Massive shoes to fill. Basschat will be the poorer without your bespoke cable service. Knowing that whatever is wrong with my gear it definitely is not the cables has made my life so much easier, so much less stressful 

Enjoy going home, and thank you.
