Not sure about that.  Yes the amp is inherently mono, but the headphone socket will be wired for stereo headphones i.e. with the mono signal duplicated to L and R.

Just did a bit of internet research and you are right.  As you were Patman, I'm barking up the wrong tree, sorry.

I think you need a TRS adaptor, as the output from the amp will be mono not stereo ie Tip (+) and ring (-) Both those cables you have pictured are stereo cables, something like tip (left channel) ring (right Channel)  ring (earth/return)

Although your headphones may be stereo I'm pretty certain the output from the amp wont be.

Something like this in your amp, the plug one of your pictured cables into that, and other stereo end into headphones, should sort it!

I find if i leave it so its too late for her to shop around for me she just goes with the links i send her. Then again she is the signer in my band so is sympathetic to the cause. 

I got her an IEM system. 

She stands in the corner and waves her fingers wildly?...tough gig!

I love all the Xmas hits we've had over the years and wondered what everyone's favourite song was for Xmas. 

I'll start with mine. Just makes me feel good every time i hear it.

 

He's on his way!!

I used to have schallers until I decided that 1 bass 1 strap was a good option, Fender rubber washers for me now, which are excellent.  I always found the schallers to be ok, but they rattled which was really annoying, plus the fact the screws used to work loose.

TH500 and a Reidmar.......both sound fantastic to me!

Bought another copy of Snow Goose for my wife's significant birthday last week, sometime in the last 40+ years we have misplaced it. Its been on permanent play for me since!

^^^^   I have NO idea what this means, in my defence its been a long day and I have had beer.....

That's high praise indeed and a lot of work to do

Terry is something very special (here's the thing I wrote about him when he died, in case you missed it)

Also thanks for you reviews on amazon, very helpful indeed.

Read it, and felt the need to comment, just annoyed I missed it at the time
 

Curtsy?  Bow? falling over? 

I'm guessing all three, plus a smidgeon of cool bass move!!!

Got an interesting very rare purple burst Fender P if ya interested Karl.........😉

I remember following the build thread at the time, lovely stuff.

Good luck with this Luke.

How about Stiltskin - Inside. I had the album on cassette and it wasn't bad, but seeing as none of the other songs featured on a jeans advert they were never heard from again.

We are just learning that one to add to our set, oddly I had never heard it before....shows just how much attention I pay to adverts I guess.......

If you pause a video at a certain time, and right click on it, you can select 'copy URL at a current time'

I never realised it was that simple!

I think Sylvia was almost a hit for Focus too.

House Of The King from focus 3 was also used as the them tune for a TV series back in the day, can't remember what it was, but Miriam Stoppard was on it.

Bugger, I only clicked on the 1st link, never noticed it was a pic, people have done it though, so I know its possible.....

Ye Gods that's a cutie! 

18v active you say, are the pickups very hot?

On which subject...

Taking A Little Trip Back With Father Tiresias.

Being a serious Genesis fan in my youth (losing interest with the 3-piece pop group version, even though they named an album after me), after having followed this thread, I looked up SH with Nad Whatsit on YouTube, just so I could see what all the fuss was about. Not too much, from what I could see.

Anyway, while I was there, I saw various other Genesis items on the YouTube sidebar;  one of which was the live version of I Know What I Like from Bingley Hall. Now I actually did go to that show, so I thought that I'd check it out.  Thing is, someone I know swore blind that he'd seen me in the film of that gig.......yeh, right. 

SO I watched it......

 

...and there, at 45 seconds, as the crowd rises up when Phil Collins starts to sing, there's a young guy with glasses on who throws up his arms...

 

....and it's an 18 year-old Mangotango, (with both a hairline and a waistline, unlike now), and all of his life ahead of him....... hadn't seen that before last night and it made me want to weep for no known reason. Not for the Genesis track at all, I can assure you.

On a totally unrelated side note, how do you manage to embed a youtube video paused at the correct moment?  I've tried a number of times and it never works.

Both of those were my locals years ago. I only live some 500 metres from them, obviously far enough away for my deaf ears to not hear the bands 🤣

Me too mate, but I reckon my 'years ago' were further back than yours lol!

Went into White Hart a few years back, they still had the throne chair at the back, but the fireplace was gone...WTF???  I should never have gone in

 We got 7 people in that corner

 

7??????  we struggled with 5  😂

It was a wet night as I recall, and people walking past, being wet and hearing music would come in by that door, then half the pub couldn't see us until the door shut!!

I've played the New Inn....'cosy' ain't it? Great atmosphere though.

Blimey Lozz, I never realised just how punishing your band schedule was, I feel for ye bud, but rest assured a man of your calibre won't be bandless for long, its just a case of finding the right balance.  Congrats for getting to where you are now, and good luck for the future.

Well that's a bugger, apologies if I led you astray there. 

I cant say I've ever noticed the noise you refer to, but then again I don't like bright strings so maybe that's why I can't hear it.

U2 With or Without You, must the one of the easiest bass lines ever surely?

The UK Pink Floyd Experience on Sat, tickets bought by my daughter for our wedding anniversary, so had not heard of these guys and didn't know what to expect.  I have to say they absolutely nailed the sound and visuals of Pink Floyd, even using what looked like the actual video reels and projection screen from the later Floyd tours. I was a tad disappointed with the lead guitarist who flubbed a line in Money, but found out later in the evening that he had only been with the band for 3 weeks and had learned the whole 2.5 hour set in that time....Impressed I was!
