IME no ethernet cable is as robust as a good quality Jack or XLR lead. I have jack and XLR cables that I made myself in the 90s which have been in use continually for gigs and rehearsals over the past 30 years that are still going strong, whereas the best ethernet cable in a similar environment lasted about 12 months. As you have discovered the typical office ethernet cable is completely unsuited to the rigours of gigging. It's designed to connect a device to a wall-socket in an office and never be touched again until the device is replaced. In the days when I was using a rack mounted BassPod with the Floorboard footswitch unit I was going through a cable every 2-3 weeks. Eventually I bought two very expensive Van Damme coil-able ethernet leads with heavy duty shrouds on the plugs which were supposedly designed for gig use. Each of these lasted about a year at which point they would stop being coil-able and then fail very shortly afterwards. Luckily for me the failure of the second cable coincided with me replacing the BassPod with a Helix Floor. I deliberately chose the floor version of the Helix so I wouldn't have to deal with ethernet cables in a gig situation again. A coil-able cable with heavy duty shrouds would be the minimum spec I would go for and I would always carry a spare. As soon as your lead shows any sign of less than 100% reliability chuck it in the bin and buy a replacement. Be aware that plugs with some of the chunkier shrouds do not always fit snugly in some sockets, but the locking mechanism on un-shrouded plugs will break with moderate use rendering the connection unreliable. If I was using ethernet cables ideally I'd like them to be fitted with EtherCon plugs, but they only work if your equipment is also fitted with the corresponding EtherCon sockets and for some reason very little supposedly gig-worthy equipment with ethernet connections has these.

Thanks for the tip off about the EB Group sets and their prices. I'll add these to the shortlist (3 or 2.5), they are on that shootout video I posted, and sound quite similar to the Fenders. If they are bright and smooth then I imagine I'd like them. It's news to me that some flats are smoother than others, I kind of thought they'd all feel ultra smooth, and that was sort of the point of them. Apparently the Roto 77s are not very smooth at all. In that video I'm a little surprised how dull and dark the (slightly worn in) Chromes sound - I always thought these were meant to be some of the brighter flats. Maybe they are for a while but die off quickly?

Hi, around 4,3 kgs -
Hi, no, it’s 34’ -
IME the Kemper lives or dies on the profile. I remember downloading a vintage SVT profile from some high end studio and standing in front of my stack turned up loud. If you closed your eyes it honestly could be a real (and excellent) tube amp. I profiled my own GK heads from the DI output. The results were less than stellar . There is no reason that the Kemper can't be the best sounding modelling unit out there. The problem, not that it's a problem at all really, is that the same is true for pretty much any of them. I've got a Valeton GP100 that stays set up in my office all the time for when my 'good' gear is setup elsewhere or in the car or whatever, it sounds brilliant.

Yeah this is the 2.0 version, the first one was quite a different beast altogether. I assume the bars were added later on. Don't see many of these about! -
I’m selling this pedal in good condition. Works great, has some signs of use. I don’t have the box or the original adapter.-

Double bass rebuild - not for the faint of heart!
Owen replied to The Guitar Weasel's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Fair play, those look great and if they function well then you are ahead of the game. My bass would need some intense refinishing on the headstock to make them work, but the ones I have rattle and are ........ not aesthetically pleasing. Thanks. -

I do like a re-imagining...

Oops I forgot the rule I guess yes I need to tie the cable back up

The bassist in on of the bands we find ourselves playing with a lot has a Kemper. I don't like his bass sound much, but he and the rest of the band do, and anyway it's all subjective.

I bought a bass from Steff and all was good.
-
In like new condition with velcro on rear. Checking it out in person is welcomed. Peter -
It will certainly scare the birds alright..!

I've said this before but not learned my lesson: I've made an ill-considered bass purchase recently so some of my pedals the block. UK postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery is included in the price. All pedals are in good working order. Pedals are boxed unless otherwise stated. Please let me know if you have any questions about them. I'm not really looking for trades but I've got wanted ads up for a Hamstead Subspace GE and a Cog T-70 v2 and remain interested in those pedals. Broughton BBA - £70 each - signal optimiser and buffer for the start of your chain. Broughton Subsonic - £140 - Broughton's take on the OC-2 (battered box). Broughton Calamity - £160 – a brilliant muff optimised for bass. Hiero BEAD v3 - £205 - a well-regarded take on the Brassmaster (Hiero sold this in a brown paper bag, which is included, rather than a box) Dunwich Volt Thrower - £300 - sought-after RAT-type pedal (no box). Damnation Audio MBD2 - £180 - versatile distortion in a smaller format than the MBD3. COG Custom Solid Snake Blender - £90 – similar to an LS-2 and is configured so that the pedal can either run the A Loop, B Loop or A+B Loops. It also has phase switches. Moose Nomad - £160 - my favourite octave fuzz. I have a slightly new version so I'm selling this unit. Nightowl Industries Parabellum v2 - £250 - a Nightowl Edison tube preamp and distortion circuit. Cog Effects R-1 - £290 - another brilliant octave fuzz (no box, missing one screw). Magic Pedals Cthulhu (black-out) - £190- one-knob Fuzz Face-type fuzz. Magic Pedals Fuzzthrone (black-out) - £215 - versatile Fuzz Face-type circuit. Magic Pedals Magick Fuzz - £175 - muff-style fuzz (no box). Wrought Iron Leather & Effects Kaiburr - £275 – a cool fuzz with an excellent LED design reminiscent of Kylo Ren's lightsaber. Lone Wolf Audio Left Hand Wrath 2.5 (boxed) - £125 – HM-2-style distortion. BOSS HM-2W - £90 - HM-2 Waza style.-

Thanks for this detailed summary. I rarely go above the 12th fret, so I doubt that would be an issue really. It's most likely that I will try the Fender 9050L first, based on what I've heard in demos and read about them.

Wayne Jones Bass 1000w Powered 2x10 Cabinet
SamPlaysBass replied to johnbiffa's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Owned one of these for a good while with the matching ‘head’ (DI, whatever you want to call it) and it was astonishingly good. Wayne Jones was onto something with his amplification. Good luck with the sale, that’s a very decent price for all the cab you’d ever need. -
