Yes, some others have used this combo like that. The only issue may be that the short speaker cable won't reach an amp placed on top of the combo. You can either open the combo up and replace it with a longer one (may require soldering skills) or buy/make a female to male jack speaker extension cable (may require soldering skills).
I may get shot by the luther mafia but when my maple Sterling neck got grubby I cleaned it up and gave it a single thin application of tru oil. I prefer the feel of it over the original and it stays lovely and clean now.
Normally I'd agree with you completely. In this instance however this is a 30 year old bass in totally original condition and this lead has never been used with it previously so it's not the cause. It works perfectly with the bass but is 20 feet long which is longer than I need for most gigs.
Does anyone still produce instrument cables with this type of connector? I need the extra springy contact at the base to maintain a good connection on one of my basses. (I'm looking for a 10 foot cable; ideally right angled to straight connectors).
Many thanks for any guidance.
Yes, using another CMD121P is definitely more of the same, but the NY121P cab adds a bit more low end. I sold my CMD121P and now use two NY121P cabs with my MB heads.
Yes, as you live in Canada, getting Andy to help should be straightforward enough. Unfortunately it's not so simple from the other side of the Atlantic. Ashdown very often help free of charge which really is remarkable nowadays.
