Wow!

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1317466654' post='1390955'] It is but I always label the amp end of the cable anyway. [/quote] Excellent Dave, you have an email. Peter

Not at all Dave, I'll order one the right length and connectors and some other stuff I need sometime today Is the 2 pole Speakon different in appearance to the 4 pole? If so it would help in identifying which end is which. Peter

I was about to email Dave this question and thought that it may be of interest to other folk so here it is: I'm setting up a new amp with a Summit Audio valve pre and a QSC RMX 850 power amp. In bridge mode the output of the amp is Speakon Pos +1 and Neg +2. Will the standard made up cable accommodate this okay or do I need a special cable made up for this? (I'll be ordering some new cables either way). I've tried the amp at home semi detached cottage volumes and it sounds very warm indeed Nicely so. Peter

Lets not forget that this is a tiny micro amp and maybe it has to forgo some bells and whistles to get it to fit into the case

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1316717252' post='1381970'] The site is running very slowly indeed. Disappointing because it was always a fast loader before the changes. [/quote] It's very slow here too. It's the slowest loading site I access by far and it makes accessing and contributing a bit of a pain tbh. Peter

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1316716023' post='1381954'] He didn't play with Weather Report on any instrument. He did play bass with Joe Zawinul though. He was really good at Bass Day the other year. [/quote] Interesting. Maybe it was Pat Methany then? I may have incorrectly remembered something the man himself said. Definitely performed as a percussionist, as opposed to a drummer, and I'm fairly sure he said a Weather Report derivation. Maybe it was a one off and you may of course not be aware? Edited to add, it was the Pat Metheny Group. My point was that he's multi talented. Peter

He played with Weather Report, on percussion! He can play great guitar and has the voice of an angel. I too was almost in tears at Manchester a couple of years ago and we weren't the only ones. Peter

I like the clean new look so thank you for the effort that's been put in. My No 1 link is always 'New Posts' and I can't find it, can anyone help me here? Edited to say 'View New Content' - found it Peter

If you buy something in good faith for a reasonable price in an open market (i.e not down the pub) it isn't 'receiving stolen goods'. If you've bought something as above you may also have a right to claim a stake in it.

[quote name='citymariner' post='1375773' date='Sep 16 2011, 05:37 PM']Another plus one here too! Covers made for my Ashdown Classic Neo cabs and they arrived quickly, look ace and fit like the proverbial glove. I noticed the image above had an logo stitch in - is that a new service they offer?!?[/quote] That one is a bespoke cover for EAD cabs. It's what comes with the cab - a nice touch. I'm sure Bryn would do something for you though. Peter

I had Roqsolid covers on both my EA cabs and they were great. I have only heard good things about them and Bryn's customer service from Dave Perry and his Foundation range of cabs come with them for no extra cost. I'm awaiting mine and it will look like this I believe:

I've a JM5. I've experience of too many bases (I once owned over 20 but I'm alright now). They are very well made indeed and deserve to be held in higher esteem imo. Tone wise with the M pickup in single coil and the bridge pup in use it is the best sounding jazz I've heard in a warm way. It has plenty of low mids to cut through in a gigging situation. Putting the bridge pup into MM mode and blending to it results in a much more aggressive tone. It stays in tune really well and the neck is very stable. I'm selling mine soon but because I've just bought my white Sterling 5. I wouldn't say that the Sterling is actually better, just different. You can't go wrong with them imo and I've not heard anything negative about them Peter

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1369578' date='Sep 11 2011, 04:57 PM']does it go in one of the stacked knobs, or on the master tone? if so i've already got that spring i think...[/quote] From memory, it goes under a stacked pot. The instructions are online and give details. I understand that it grounds the pot. Peter
