  1. get a metal box, two speakon circuits, a jack socket and a bit wire, join them together in a box and job is done! Although it doesn't help if the speaker has a jack socket too. Other option, replace that plate with one with two speakon sockets.
  2. Mine is almost the same except the exact opposite. But still it can be fun!
  3. Yes it would, but the problem with that is a) the ABY might have signal level rather than speaker level wires, but maybe not, there isn't much in one after all, and B) they are designed to switch, which means if you accidently trod on it and switched the output off so it wasn't connected, you would present an open output to the valve amp and things inside would get pretty hairy quite quickly. Ultimately if this is a scenario that you envision happening a lot, just take the ABY box, and bypass the swich so it is always connected.
  4. How about 1 x £3,000 one, you can do that no problem!
  5. OK, there is a limit on the 'Paid' marketplaces, which is Basses for sale (and sub-forums such as left handed), Amps and Cabs and Other musical items on items that are above £50 where you can only create a new entry if you have created less than 10 other sales since the same day in the previous month. Note you can have many more sales than 10 open at the same time, you just can't start them if you have started 10 or more in the last month So for instance if you created a sale post for a £300 bass today (28th May) and then every 3 days, trying to create your tenth bass sale would fail on the 24th June with a 1650 error and you would not be able to create that post until the 28th June. However, if you changed that and created sales every 4 days, you would never hit the limit.
  6. There is a limit on how many for sale items can be opened within a calendal month. I think it might cover just basses, but memory is a bit hazy and not in a position to check, I will do though
  7. The Old p16 had two LEDs, a green one for activity and a red one for select. From what I read (and this was one of the complaints) the LED in the new P16 is a combined Red / Green so instead of seeing red and green when it is selected and has a signal, you see yellow as both red and green are on at the same time
  8. I would think that but then I see the local facebook groups and realise that it isn't going to make a difference.
  9. Because there is sound coming from those channels I guess. The red one is the one you are adjusting (or I think on the HQ, the one that has gone yellow).
  10. Yes Note that there are two P16, as there is a new one just come out, I have only used the older one, but might get a new one. Each green light lights up when there is a sound coming through that channel. if you have nothing selected you can turn the volume / bass / treble etc up. If you select a channel, you can change the volume (and tone) of that channel, and its left / right balance. It is really simple and obvious to use.
  11. I have a lekato MS-1, it works in stereo. I am going from a p16 personal mixer through the MS1 to my ears and have been very happy with it, the 3 practices and 2 gigs I have used it on (actually a P16 in practice, straight out the back of an X18 live - not my P16!)
  12. Dingwall combusion. Got this a decade ago and didn't hit it off with it much, it didn't really have a good sound in it, even though it was nice to play. Went to an audition with a local group, tried playing stuff and it sounded bad. The guitarist asked me if I had a different bass, I did, i had a Hofner cricket bat with me as a backup, he loved the sound of it. Got home, put it up for sale, did an exchange for an Ibanez 1605 which was on paper not a great trade but one that I was really happy about. over 10 years later, the ibanez is still sitting behind me as I type. I would like to think it was a friday bass, but TBH, I wouldn't ever buy a dingwall without trying it
  13. if you click the edit button on the first post it lets you also edit the title. Add the word sold at the end, and it will auto lock and mark as sold. Also 'withdrawn' or 'traded'
  14. I had seen that image in a facebook post before, when I didn't know about the story and had ignored. I don't think I would want to see them anyway!
  15. Thats exactly what I assumed.
  16. I always wished I didn't get a cinder red pulse 1 when they came out.
  17. I used to enjoy doing that, but we lost our keyboard player so we had to drop it.
  18. Facebook is full of scams. I saw one last week for andertons, selling marshal speakers for 9.99. I have seen those before and know they are scammed, so I looked, sure enough it said anderton music supplies, had their logo and everything, then look closer, 120 followers. Reported it as a scam, Did a search for andertons, hundreds of thousands of followers, no little speakers, contacted them they said not to deal with the other thing as it was a scam, I said I knew and had reported it but thought they might have more clout, they said they report them every day and nothing happens. Sure enough, 2 days later got a thing from facebook saying that the complaint wasn't upheld. Now I assume everything on facebook is fake, as long as meta get their money they don't care who they are ripping off.
  19. Thats what I thought but.. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/old-time-sailors-blast-hate-10204971 "As part of this investigation, we have arrested six males on suspicion of modern-day slavery offences. We appreciate the activity may have caused some confusion and concern amongst the local community" - the band leader has done a runner.
  20. So is this part of the same story or has the world gone a little mad? I hadn't heard of the Old Time Sailors, so I did a search on them and it seems they are tied up on a modern day slavery probe in devon? I mean that sounds a bit worse than just nicking a few songs.
  21. I can switch to 4 as well without too much trouble, but I can't do a set with any of my bands with a 4 string bass, so if I took a 4 string bass to a gig I would also need to take a 5 string, and then what is the point. So I buy 4 strings, end up not playing them and then sell them. Repeat cycle!
  22. We went all the way through learning it and getting it ready, then we dropped it because someone didn't like it who later decided they actually liked it. Figures!
  23. I meant than the 5 multi - if the 4 is 36-34 and the 5 is 37-34, then the E must be 35.33" on the 4 and 36.25" on the 5, almost an inch longer. Not that I believe that really it makes that much difference!.
  24. I am so unlikely to buy (and retain) a 4 string bass, I often get annoyed that the sales area doesn't have a filter to filter only 5 strings, then I remember it would have to be me that did that and I let me off
