Ian bought my Roland 100w Bass Cube from me, it was a very easy sale. Ian paid me immediately via transfer and there was good comms. via text. Very pleased, would deal with Ian again.

[quote name='LITTLEWING' post='1106754' date='Jan 28 2011, 09:39 PM']Just to add my ten pence worth, I was using a cheapo speaker lead from my Ashdown Mag head to my Hartke " x 15" cab, and didn't realise until I bought a VERY nice cable from a Basschat guy called OBBM how much difference a quality link made. Don't think twice, if you've got a non-descript floppy old lead, get a proper one today. £13.50 for a very impressive looking 1 metre cable with quality connectors and an even more impressive leap in clarity is money well spent. Honestly, you won't look back. [/quote] +1 Received my cables from OBBM and you can really see and hear the difference, well worth the purchase.

It's [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BENDER-COLLISION-BASS-GUITAR-/190494462156?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c5a5ad0cc"]back[/url] and now £100 more expensive.

[quote name='bumnote' post='1103874' date='Jan 26 2011, 03:40 PM']Cmon what does it sound like[/quote] I get to find at 8o'clock tonight Damn work.

Until OBBM's cable arrives I nipped into town and bought [url="http://www.musiccentre.co.uk/stagg-ssp1-1-5m-speaker-cable.html?___store=default"]this[/url], figure its worth the £5 it cost me if it means I can get the Ashdown LB30 fired up tonight! However I will be swapping in OBBM's as soon as I get them.

What can I say, I am knew at this, but I thought the penultimate paragraph refered to instrument cable use: [quote]A 400-watt bass head driving a 4-ohm box will put ten amps through the cable; if it was forty feet long, you might lose a portion of your power as heat in the cable, but at three feet long that effect is negligible.[/quote]

[quote name='mart' post='1103616' date='Jan 26 2011, 01:37 PM']I did have to edit your link to get it to work![/quote] Thanks, now amended.

Wanted to start a new thread on the merits of Speaker Cables Vs Instrument Cables for connection Heads to Cabs. In deciding whether it was worth the risk of using a Instrument Cable I found [url="http://www.sweetwater.com/forums/showthread.php?17485-Proper-cable-from-bass-amp-to-speaker"]this[/url] thread, the majority of people suggest that you shouldnt do it because it will blow all your gear up, but the last post says that you can use an instrument cable and it will be fine. What do people here think? BTW I have made a speaker cable purchase from OBBM, gone with the majority and not risked the instrument cable.

[quote name='bumnote' post='1102774' date='Jan 25 2011, 09:18 PM']If you can wait for mail order go to Bassic Bits If you are wanting to try it out as I would as soon as possible, go down to your local store and just buy a lead thats just long enough but not too long, with reasonable quality plugs on the end. PersonallyI am not a beleiver of the solid silver made with virgins blood cables, particulalrly on a speaker. You just need a decent quality plug on each end, and a reasonable size conductor in the cable.[/quote] Thanks for your help, went to the Bassic Bits ebay store and bought a cable from there. Will also have a look round the local shops, see if there is anything available to tide me over til OBBM's gets here. Still looking for the virgins blood cables

What can I say, received the head and cab tonight, both look great, but then the realisation hits me that having used combo's exclusively, I dont own speaker cable to connect head to cab. I dont want to risk using ordinary 1/4 jack instrument cable, is there a brand of speaker cable that you would recommend? What a fool!
