You get them on Amazon Daryl or any major guitar / bass store should have them. Fairly common manufacturer. Well worth the extra money. They fit on the narrow part of your bass strap. Dave

I’m building an interesting fretless with mine, it’s a stunning piece of wood, almost tempted to buy the other one 👍 -
Electronics / USB power issues - can someone help?
carlsim replied to carlsim's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks for the comments guys - I spoke to a friend last night and he said the same thing - the battery won't be able to generate enough power to do what needs to be done. I have some working out to do! -

THIS MADE ME WET MESELF!!

Beyond the end pin stand for my EUB (tier 2 fair at best) I have bought nothing you can actually play. This means at least 2 years without any new instruments. What is wrong with me? 🥺
-
Hey. Not sure you got my message 2 weeks ago? Thanks -
Thank you, Joe, it play's as good as it looks -
Somehow I have managed to not buy any basses, but there was one more tier 2 failure (a Fender Jaguar, for playing jazz on).

Awesome man, yeah they're great things. If the other doesn't sell I will build something 🤣 -

Congrats looks very nice indeed! I absolutely love my GB fusion 5 but absolutely love the wood on these! The Pickguard is off mine but I’m yet to fit any capheads and it looks great without! Enjoy! -

Pre Christmas prices drop on this amazing bass! -
all the answers are good. The thing is that you really don't need to oversize. The resistance of the cable is going to be close to zero because you are dealing with a really short length. As to power handling you hve to remember the speaker is playing music not continuous current. Most of the time there is little or no signal and any note you play decays quite quickly. It's normal to think in terms of a duty cycle of 15-20% but that is allowing for a considerable safety margin, under 10% might be more 'real world' use so 20W for your 225W speaker would be a more reasonable rating. The voice coil of your speaker is wound with hair thin copper wire only slightly thicker than the strands in your cables and that doesn't burn out in normal use. Like @Stub Mandrel I use a couple of cores from any mains cable laying around most of the time, even 1mm lighting cable is plenty big enough. The reason speaker cables use thicker wire is to keep resistance to a minimum on longer cable runs. That's not relevant for the 40cm wire inside the cab.

Wozzit Weigh? In pursuit of a definitive thread (Fender jazz edition)
ebenezer replied to LawrenceH's topic in Bass Guitars
Luck of the draw really, I managed to find a 95 stingray that weighs 8.6lbs...they do exist if you look hard enough lol. - Today

Nice!!! -
The hardness of the fingerboard mainly makes a difference to the percussiveness of the sound. A graphite neck with phenolic fingerboard will sometimes add a "shimmer" to the sound too. But you do often find that there's a big difference in attack and percussiveness, for instance when one maple fingerboard is glossed and another isn't. There are a huge amount of variables at play. So are you keeping the "chunkier" maple neck on your 'Ray, KillerFridge?

I’d agree, and I don’t see a lot of scope for lateral movement there

So which one of you is the Gordon Murray of the Bass World? It is utterly fascinating, but I generally don't take things apart. I have been genuinely surprised at how light my GB Spitfire & 95 Stingray are, though. Also, has anyone found that lighter basses seem to resonate better? -

Very nice, these look much better than the NJS line to my eye -
Interesting. I'd always thought of string spacing as the distance between each string, rather than the length of the string.
