    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1452442626' post='2949959'] I picked up one of these together with a TKS 212 from Bass Gear just after Christmas. I had a chance to A/B the head with a Tonehammer 500 through both one of the super ATS 212's and the TKS. Maybe it's the slightly larger output of the Mesa, but it sounded far more "alive" and the Deep switch has to be heard to be believed I had a Mesa Prodigy Four:88 previously and it was one of the best sounding heads I've owned. This one comes very close indeed at a far lighter weight [url="http://s945.photobucket.com/user/nwmurphy/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_16.jpeg.html"][/url] [/quote] Very neat looking rig Nick.

    I'll do it for you.

    I think the best was this: Epifani UL902 Epifani UL310 x 2 Stingray 5 Unfortunately I never got to gig it.

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1452033512' post='2945841'] Nope. The current drawn is dictated by the item thats drawing the current. Think of your household ring main. It'll probably be on a 16A breaker but a 60w table lamp plugged into it will only draw about 4A, not the 16A available to it. [/quote] Analogy is correct. Example is wrong. Ring Main uses 30A breaker. 60-watt light bulb draws 0.25-Amp.

    [quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1451951078' post='2945028'] That's lovely. Does the ACG string anchor allow for the use of standard strings, or do they have to be double ball ends? [/quote] Double Ball End. Currently strung with Status strings.

    After much deliberation I’ve decided to put my ACG Headless Harlot 5-string up for sale as I gig very rarely now and [b][i]have no need for a 5-string[/i][/b]. Since I had it made 6 years ago it has had minimal use and has never been gigged so it’s as new. It has a wicked tone, a great action and very easy and comfortable to play thanks to the asymmetric neck shape. This is a superb example of Alan’s work. 34-inch scale Swamp Ash body core Asian Ebony top/veneer. Through 5 piece flame maple/wenge neck Acrylic Flame Sycamore neck – no dots Dual Action trussrod Carbon neck rods Blue LED via fiber-optic side dots Black hardware Hipshot Ultralite Tuners. Hipshot Type A bridge - 18mm spacing ACG String anchor RFB humbucker bridge pick-up with coil switching RFB Single coil neck pick-up. John East Filter Pre-amp. Schaller Straplocks. Status strings Fusion Gigbag Would possibly consider trade for US or Japanese Precision with 'B' neck plus cash my way. As already stated I am not looking for a 5 or a 6-string bass. All trade offers by PM please, not in this thread.

    [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1451853248' post='2944101'] When you come to buy leads: Always buy instrument-quality cables (they should be labelled on the cable insulation). [/quote] ....... but only to connect your bass to your amp. Use a proper Speaker lead to connect your amplifier to a speaker cabinet or to loop speaker cabinets.

    [quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1451682433' post='2942504'] Hello funsters. Can you help me identify the tip and ring bits of this headphone jack? My guess is that the thin central gold bit that juts out is the tip (left) and the thicker bit behind it, half surrounded by black plastic, is the ring (right). The earth is the long metal bit with two prongs at the end closest to the camera. Am I right? Thanks. [/quote] You are correct.

    Those are guitar cabs designed to complement the Super Tramp Head. Circa 1999/2000.

    I now realise that I should never have let that Precision go.

    We have several proper Jam Sessions around here every week. Certainly not all 12-bar or blues based. It's a case of attending regularly, getting to know other musos strengths, weaknesses and what songs they know, and bringing something to the party.

    If you want to send it to me Simon I'll fix it for you.

    I now have a stock of these Hicon Banjo jacks. They are considerably superior to some of the cheap banjo jacks and are very easy to solder . £1.30 each plus postage (which depends on quantity)

    [quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1447417314' post='2907497'] Very happy with this, think I'm finally settled. Although now I have this Glockenklang that goes down to 2.7 Ohms I see a third HD112 in my future.... [attachment=204948:IMG_2263.JPG] [/quote] So that's where the cables went.

    [quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1446473465' post='2899592'] what's wrong with the pink jazz?? [/quote] As far as I'm concerned, nothing, but some others think differently.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1446469982' post='2899528'] We've had guys set up and just start playing. They don't tell you the song or the key. If they do that I just stand there and look at them until they stop and tell me what we are playing! [/quote] +1

    I used to do this quite regularly. As already said it's a case of providing bass amp, cab, cables and perhaps a tuner. The norm around here is for everyone to bring their instruments but there have been occasions when someone has asked if they can use my bass. Well I'm a bit particular about who uses my basses so I used to take along my pink Jazz just in case. House band opens proceedings with two or three numbers and then everyone changes. At one local Jam there is an MC who hkeeps details of who's there, he puts together bands and generally keeps things moving along. This stops anyone hogging the limelight. There have been occassions when I've been the only bass player so I got to play all evening but usually there are at least a couple of others. It's good training as you have to listen and think on your feet.

    I've just been asked to make a cable for a Takstar WGV-601 wireless system ( [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/TAKSTAR-WGV-601-GUITAR-WIRELESS-SYSTEM/dp/B006AZDN3A"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/TAKSTAR-WGV-601-GUITAR-WIRELESS-SYSTEM/dp/B006AZDN3A[/url]) which seems to be sold by Amazon for about £50, and on Ebay from the Far East. The spec says that it operates in the 220MHz-270MHz band. Surely this is not legal in the UK?

    Very pleased that you have got yourself on track and that you are back here. We missed you.
