    Be aware though that there are 2 types of MIDI to TRS cable - one has the tip of the TRS going to pin 4 of the MIDI connector and the TRS ring to MIDI pin 5, and the other type has these connections reversed. They are (unsurprisingly) called type A and type B, so I'd check with your kit's manufacturer which one you need. It's not the end of the world if you wire them the wrong way round, as it won't cause any damage.

    The thought of either of those makes me twitch. Right, enough, whoa! I must harness my willpower and halter my urge to pun.

    You should be fine with any reputable DIN to 3.5mm TSR jack that is sold as being specifically for MIDI. If you want to make your own use a two core twisted pair and screen cable. Connect the screen to the centre pin (2) of the 5-pin DIN plug and to the sleeve of the 6.5mm jack. Then connect pin 5 of the DIN to the ring of the jack and pin 4 to the tip (pins 4 and 5 are the two directly either side of the centre pin). Pins 1 and 3 of the DIN plug (the outermost 2) are not used. If you are getting earth hum or general MIDI weirdness you might need to experiment with disconnecting the shield at the mini jack end. MIDI devices are supposed to be opto-isolated at the MIDI in socket, but often devices that use mini jacks dispense with this as part of their cost-cutting measures which can lead to problems.

    I’m learning some numbers by Sheena Mary McDonald* *Actually, I really wish I was, she’s brilliant. Saw her locally a while back in a trio and her bass player, Lorna T, really impressed me.

    A quick reach out to the Basschat members . Any ideas for a gig bag for the bass ? Needs to be about 1650mm long and probably diameter of 150mm . There appears to be nothing suitable in the music market . I have looked at bags for lighting and stands and have not found anything yet . Maybe ski bags or fishing rods ? If not then I will have to manufacture something .

  29. Rik (ESA) started following Dingwall NG-3 4 string Gold Matte
  30. Rik (ESA)
    Hi everyone, With a heavy heart I am listing my NG-3 which is, in my opinion, finished in the greatest colour - matte gold. Whilst clearly OUTSTANDING for anything metal / rock, it’s been used in my cover band for the last 2 years to cover pop, funk, disco, rock etc, due to the flexibility of the 3 pickups. Fanned frets are, I found, quick and easy to adapt to, but it’s not my preference, hence the sale. I had an additional scratch plate commissioned in white pearl, so both that and the original are included. It is strung with Dingwall strings tuned EADG, but has in the past dropped to CGCF (I will miss that very much!). Very well balanced, this is narrowly over 3.9kg on my kitchen scales, floating at about 3.923kg. There are a couple of minor cosmetic imperfections shown in the pictures - there’s aren’t visible when playing the bass. All electronics etc. work perfectly, and no headstock dings either. Original Dingwall soft case is included which is in excellent condition, and it’s a blooming brilliant case to boot! To that end, I am open to posting the bass but at the buyers arrangement and cost. I will wrap the bass within the case, and wrap the case in bubble wrap and brown paper, but open to better alternatives! I don’t have a box or hard case unfortunately. Collection very much preferred, and of course welcome to try the bass before purchase. TRADES! Yes, open to some trades but strictly the below, with cash adjustments as appropriate. Stingray - any model from the Sterling Ray34 up to Musicman Stingray special. Colour must be black, gold, or potentially a sparkle finish. Strong preference for 4 string but 5 considered. Precision - any model from Fender MIM up to something of a £1k value. Same colours as above. Must be a 4 string. Open to PJ’s but a classic passive P is the preference. I am seeking both of the above basses so a combination of the two is an option, again with cash adjustments accordingly. Questions, concerns, thoughts, more pictures etc, please give me a shout. Many thanks, Rick
