I've received zero email notifications since the change-over.
Tried resetting the settings - nothing.
Checked the junk email folder at the server - nothing in it.
So how do I get them to work guys?
I've used my pair at a rehearsal, as backline for two local jams and at the SE Bash, all with a GK MB200.
All I can say is that they do it for me. I shall be gigging them.

Project that I'm looking at is to build a P/J passive using a std P-bass plate with the jack in the plate (no need to drill through the edge into the rout).
Of course looking at old style P-bass deluxe wiring (3 x 250k pots) but with only 2 knob holes in plate and top rout big enough for 2 pots I need 2 of those 250k pots on the 1 plate hole.
So am looking for a stacked concentric 250k/250k pot. I want to use vintage style chrome knobs so am probably looking for 17/64" 6.75mm outer shaft with 3/16" 4.76mm inner shaft.
Anyone know where I can get one?
Seen 250k/500k & 500k/500k but NO 250k/250k

I did it by buying a pair of 250K/500K and two single 250K pots and peforming surgery. They work very well.
Thanks for the quick responses. Previously I have used a portable mini-disc recorder and small external which fulfilled the role very well but is a bit fiddly to set up. I'm not after studio quality recording just a record of what's been played so (a) I know what I need to play or ( whether I played it right. I had spotted the Zoom H1 and there seem some good deals around at the moment.
I'm about to join a new band and need to record rehearsals and live shows.
There seem to be quite a number of different makes so based on user experience which make/model is the best value for money?
I watched the Blues Brothers again recently and he plays a couple of basses in there, one of which was a 3TS with what looked like a J neck. Perhaps a bit of freeze-frame is in order.
Have to agree with Jack that the Lakky DD is a fine bass with great character, just perhaps the wrong colour.
As far as pick-ups go I had this response from Lakland a few years ago when I had a DJ4.
"The cloth covered wires are on the Lindy Fralin pickups. The black/white plastic coated wires are the Aeros. There have been times when the Aeros were hard to come by. We would sometimes install the Lindy Fralins if there was a pinch. We wouldn't go the other way however (Aeros for Fralins). We feel that the Fralins sound better than the Aeros."
I believe that the Lakland pickup wires are red/green.
Hope this helps.
Top bloke. John purchased my Lakland Duck Dunn. We agreed to meet half way-ish to conduct the deal. He was at the rendezvous early and the transaction was very quick and efficient. All in all a very pleasurable experience.
[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1317466410' post='1390949'] Is the 2 pole Speakon different in appearance to the 4 pole? If so it would help in identifying which end is which. Peter[/quote]
It is but I always label the amp end of the cable anyway.
At the time that your QSC was made there was only chassis-mount Speakon available was the 4-pole. More recent amps are now using a chassis mount version of the 2-pole Speakon.
Many Speakon to Speakon cables use the 2-pole Speakon connector as most amps and cabs only use terminals 1+/1- of the chassis mount 4-pole Speakon.
To tap into the bridged mode of your amp you need a 4-pole Speakon at the amp end of the cable, so either
a 4-pole Speakon (wired 1+/2+) to a 2-pole Speakon (wired 1+/1-)
or
a 4-pole Speakon (wired 1+/2+) to a 4-pole Speakon (wired 1+/1-)
will do the trick.
Hope I haven't confused.
After showing it at the SE bash on Saturday I finally got to use my new Mini-Rig at a local Jam last night. It rocks.
Ideal for a pub gig as it was more than loud enough with a drummer, and very punchy. Lots of favourable comments.

I thought if something was for sale we had to state a price, not "open to offers"?

Oops. Price quoted.
