[quote name='K450B' timestamp='1464767775' post='3062241'] Missed the point, thats a mini amp - i asked "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] What i wanted to know is there a particular headphone i can simply plug in to my bass"....... :-)[/font][/color] [/quote] The output of a bass, any bass passive or active does not have enough power to drive a pair of headphones so you need a small amplifier to provide that power.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1464697704' post='3061499'] Would a piece of heat-shrunk colour tube at each end be an option for those wishing to identify cables by colour..? Just a thought. No qualms with 'Quality First'; you've already 'nailed' that aspect. [/quote] That's always been an option, in fact I usually suggest it for mic cables. Another option is a name label under clear heatshrink. Very useful for identifying exactly whose cable it is in a multi-band situation.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464690416' post='3061394'] There is a red cable on his site, not sure if that means he does coloured cables or not. Might be an idea to ask him. [/quote] Thanks for the intro Mark. That photo of a red lead dates back many years so perhaps I'd better change it. These days I only offer black because Klotz AC110 and Sommer LLX are only available in black. I also have 99m of Sommer Classic Tweed which looks like it will be on the shelf until I retire or expire. Vandamme is available in many colours and as there are many other suppliers offering these at ultra competitive rates I see no point in trying to compete with yet another "me too" product. In Klotz and Sommer I supply what I believe is a better quality of cable. At the end of the day my view is that it's the performance that counts, not the colour.

Paul, is this any good to you? 1m, 2.5-sq.mm. jack to jack socket Yours for the postage.

Nice one. I just love the natural look. I have 2 Metros, a PJ and a UV70, both natural 4-stringers, and they are without doubt the best basses I have ever owned. They feel and sound just right. I'm always getting good comments from the band.

Just get a second 4x10. Job done.

I recently picked up an Extron XPA1002 1U half-rack 2 x 100w power amp to drive a butt-kicker for my personal monitor system but I've not tried it with a bass yet. With the same family of products there is the XPA1002 Plus which will give 200-watts bridged into 8-ohms. They often come up on Ebay [url="http://www.extron.com/product/product.aspx?id=xpa1002"]http://www.extron.com/product/product.aspx?id=xpa1002[/url] Extron are a well established company in the AV market and the amp seems well made although it does use some odd types of connectors which are not difficult to source. Of late I've been using a Sansamp BDDI going straight into the Effects Return of a TH500 bypassing the pre-amp. Sounds good.

I was asked to join a band to replace their existing bass player who was unreliable. They used to pool the money to buy new kit for whoever needed it. I'd just bought a new rig and it was agreed that I'd just have my share in cash as I didn't need anything else. At some point, the singer, who was a bit of a control freak had decided that, because I wasn't one of the originals, he'd treat me as a hired hand and started paying me and the sax player less than the others. It was some months before I found out. It all blew up after a gig that the sax man had organised so he knew exactly what we were being paid. When challenged he admitted it. He fired me and I resigned at exactly the same moment. Another was due to the excessively aggressive attitude of the guitarist who, when we were working in a new drummer and keyboard player used to rant and shout at them if they made a mistake, even during gigs. He was hardly whiter than white. One day I just decided out and left. Interestingly my replacement was heard to say "that it was the most stressful band he'd ever played in". Finally a start-up that never got off the ground. A dodgy set list, two rehearsals then the singer says that her partner who was going to help obtain gigs was going to get an equal split of the money. Hmmm.

Ash came and picked up my ACG headless 5-string last night. He agreed to buy it back in January and asked whether, if he gave me a deposit, then could he complete the transaction by May. I was in no panic to sell so I agreed. True to his word he contacted me yesterday morning and appeared at the agreed time with the balance. A thoroughly nice guy and a pleasure to deal with. Enjoy your new bass Ash, it's a one-off.

OP's new cable went in the post this afternoon.

Steve has just purchased a TC BH250. Smoooth deal. A pleasure to do business with.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1461361953' post='3034130'] Any chance of the 410/610/810's? I'd like to try the Marshall Superbass through them. [/quote] +1. I'd like to try the Mesa Prodigy through the new 410.

These are copies of a Switchcraft jack. They seem well made. A few have been soldered on to cables for my pedalboard. At the last count I had 17. Free to collect or postage at cost.

I've been having a clear out and rationalisation of my own cables and as a result have a number of unterminated lengths of Klotz AC110 cable. All good condition. 7.5m, 4m, 2.5m x2, 1.7m, 1m x3, 0.7m, 0.5m. Free to collect or can post at cost. They weigh about 1.3Kg so cheapest postage will be about £3.00

You've done it again Mr M.

Welcome back Stew. I think you just have to keep looking and networking. I'd resigned myself to the fact that I'd finished with bands and then one found me. This time at 70 I'm not the oldest in the band as the singer is 75. Result.

Was planning to go tomorrow and bought ticket in advance but now cannot so if anyone needs a ticket please pm me.

Sold my PJB C4 cab to Kev. Excellent communication and very fast payment, just like BC should be. Deal with confidence.
