    With these barrel jacks, before soldering them I always use a multimeter and a stereo jack to check what each lug actually is as they are all of different length without any standardisation...

    @Stealth If white doesn't bother you, there's this GR Bass One 800 at a discounted price at Bass Direct and certainly is the best combination for your cabinet: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/grbass-one-800/

    Superb job so far! 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻

    First of all, if you go down the GR Bass road, only the 800 Watts or more heads (and combos) have the option of the off (silent) fan, which is a great plus in studio or mire silent places. The more power under the hood, the more headroom and definition you have, especially in the low end. I would use their AT 212+, which is 900 Watts (full carbon iteration and the most powerful) in 8 Ohms and you could use two for the heaviest gigs and/or bands. It's all very light, powerful, reliable and excellent sounding. I've used various versions if their gear over the time and it's always been a delight.

    Enjoy your retirement @musicbassman and keep coming here. 😊 I'm about to do the same at soon 60 years old, but only because I have no more will to join another band as the duet I was in is over since last month. I'll focus on piano and do a bit of summer cleaning...

    Yoko Ono: no need to change a letter to ruin it, but not her.

    Yep, but when you go back in time, he already had THAT sound with a stock Jazz Bass, so, here, it's really all in the fingers.

    Señor Presidente, Joe Dart is using his Sterling By Music Man signature models for all his live prestations and some recordings too, but his smug face will still remain. Do you think, it really deserves a double ban Señor Presidente? Of course, I'm heading to the firing squad right now. ¡Viva el Señor Presidente!

    Well said @TheGhostofJaco, I can't agree more. Another thing I'd like to see is the hearing test of those anti-tonewood persons: mine at (soon) 60 years old is still perfect and according to the ENT specialist I see each year I won't be wearing hearing aids before 25 to 30 years, so almost never...

    You can simply make one ad with everything in it...

    Speaking of George Benson, his French alter ego Sacha Distel was considered by his pairs the most promising jazz guitarist of the mid 50's, but he made way more money with his later variety/pop tunes.

    Here are the very useful Neutrik Speakon/Jack combo sockets: https://www.thomann.co.uk/neutrik_nlj2mdxx_v.htm

    Or use the Neutrik Speakon/Jack combo named NLJ2MDXX-H. 😉

    Maybe @binky_bass listened with the sound muted... 😁

    Wow, this was THE festival of that year.

    I've tried all barrel jacks available including Switchcraft and EMG, but they are all dire or close to it. I've been using these for many many many years instead and they are as good (bad?) as the others, but at a very low price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alnicov-Cylinder-Output-Socket-Electric/dp/B08L6845FP/

    Absolutely not, Chris, if it's a tubes (valves) head, which it seems to be.
  18. Hellzero
    Yep.

    It's a feature that surely isn't correctly implemented as whatever you make, the thumbnail remains blank... The only solution I've found is to upload a new thumbnail for the first photo listing, simply go to the "Thumbnail" menu (under the title when editing your ad) and click on "Upload thumbnail", but you have to have one that fits the standard requirements for that, so a small size image.

    Hélas, it's totally normal on Fender instruments and and an usual complaint. You could try some linear taper pots instead logarithmic (aka audio) as it will work (a bit) better for your needs or try some very tight tolerance models, which are expensive. Remember that whatever people say CTS or CRL or whatever with a carbon (resistive) track are cheapos things will 30% tolerance or even higher, so not precise at all!

    That said, thanks for sharing, it could be helpful to a lot of us. 😊

    Not sure it's working on anything else than your computer or smartphone...
