There seems to have been a lot of discussion recently regarding sending Bass guitars via courier, can anybody recommend a good courier ( ), that will insure a bass sent in a soft gigbag? So far so good, I have had no problems, but you never know! Thanks

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.

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.
