Is it though?
What makes it super then?
Doesn't is somehow chemically/physically bind it self to the surfaces it is applied to with a pretty strong bond?
If you actually tried this yourself I of course will take your word for it.
"Cyanoacrylate glue has a low shearing strength, which has led to its use as a temporary adhesive in cases where the piece needs to be sheared off later. Common examples include mounting a workpiece to a sacrificial glue block on a lathe, and tightening pins and bolts. It is also used in conjunction with another slower, but more resilient, adhesive as a way of rapidly forming a joint, which then holds the pieces in the appropriate configuration until the second adhesive has set.
Cyanoacrylate-based glue has a weak bond with smooth surfaces and as such easily gives to friction"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate
And yes I have used rapid glue like this to secure nuts and bolts so they don't come loose through vibration or what have you. On cars, bicycles and industrial machinery.
The 'super' bit is just marketing, like 'Krazy' glue. It bonds great with organic and porous materials. Have a look at the link provided.

Won't superglue fix that grub screw to the thread so that you won't be able to adjust it again?
When dry it's just a thin layer of plastic, a nudge with a fitting allen key will free it up for adjustment, same as nail varnish and Loctite thread lock.

A touch of superglue on the thread will do the same as nail varnish.

Boss tu-3 at the moment as it tunes great, can set it to strobe or normal and I use it as a buffered splitter. Before this was the TC polytune mini. The poly function didn't work for 5string bass but no biggie. Before that the ashdown bassometer which struggled with the low A and is huge.

Neutrik is a brand of industry professional quality connectors. They make many types among which Jack and Speakon.

Used to run one back when In had a Hartke ha3500 amp. I found it adequate but preferred the slightly tighter sounding peavey tvx 410, and SWR amps. Swapped the tvx out for a 412 which is great but definitely overkill.

Worth having a look at the Harley Benton Bass Block 800B. The pre is little boring/uninspiring but EA is good. The comp and the power section are great. Same Ice Power module a lot of other companies use.
Any fan noise?

More compression lowers the spikes in volume to bring them in line with the body of the signal. More compression also raises the lowest troughs in volume resulting in a total output that is more predictable and can be overall louder without sudden spikes. The volume knob is there to bring the total output to desired level. This affects how heavy your signal hits the rest of the effects or preamps in your signal chain.

The tonehammer is more vintage voiced but the Aguilar AG series is clean at all levels and responsive to the EQ.

When buying these second hand just buy with your heart. Should be able to recoup your investment should you change your mind later, if you look after it.
But please let us know how it turns out, with pictures

why we hate the hit singles or the material that breaks the mould of what the real band actually is
It can even ruin a perfectly acceptable band, cue Under the Bridge, More than Words etc.

Well the Fender will obviously do Precision and looking at the bridge pickup you’d expect a good impression of a Stingray, plus the blend and eq options available. You say you’ve Jazz bass covered, the Fender gets the rest of the classic trio.
The bridge pickup is in the jazz position, not the Stingray position. Neither will do a decent Stingray impression.

Yes the high stack arranging is really superior to the 410 cube cabs.
i just wonder if i buy eden cabs and a eden 3 300 watt amp what if something gets broken? eden as a company does not exist anymore. it got brought and sold again by marshall. i dont know if the produce anymore. much less about their customer service.
I'd pass on the amp. It's not going to give you anything that Hartke won't.

Over the past 9 years I've used about 1 oz of the 4oz bottle of drDucks ax wax. It is going to last my lifetime. I get that homebrewing can be fun, but half a liter will supply a music school and all their students for a generation.

Well thx for all the Answears so far!
Would the hartke tx300 amp 4 ohm do well with two eden ex 210 8ohm? that would be like 150 watts from the amp into each cab as far i know. the edens are capabale of 300 watts rms handling.
i would like to try that setup but its just no available in my region. its also 900 euros in total (each product 300 euro new). havent found anything on the used market.
the aim is a 410 configuration through 2 210s.
Are you stepping away from the Hartke 5500? When I'm looking at second hand 210s (mainland Europe area) there seem to be plenty of different Eden's available and they pair great for a punchy, solid and clear sound with Hartke amps.
What region are you in?

26th Feb- Ordered.
27th Feb- Received.
29th Feb- Dispatched for return.
1st Mar- Bax received the return. Didn't acknowledge it.
(Various emails and phone calls ensue)
12th Mar- Email to confirm that I'm entitled to a refund.
So a 14 day complete turnaround from mainland Europe to your doorstep and back, full refund confirmed after they have checked the returned item, and you go full Karen?
Spoiled much?

If you go for a newer 18v 5-string check how close the G is to the fingerboard edge. And you can’t loosen the bolts and yank the neck!
Don't pull down on the string when fretting it.
It's a playing technique flaw. If you can't remedy your finger placement it can be mitigated by replacing the nut with one that has the slot filed slightly more away from the edge. As mentioned earlier.
