Ok , I'll the just list off the **** thats been happening in order ;
1 The stock cord that came with the bass got fried a while ago , so it doesnt work any more .
2 I had an old replacement cord , which is so ****ed up that it hardly gives me any volume out of the amp .
3 I bought a cord from a shop thats so far from my place that it takes me atleast 2 hours to get there , and 2 hours to get back , and it's one of the only decent shops in this city . Since I wasnt myself present at the shop , and had a relative get it for me , it turns out that the cord totally did not work . Needless to say you can understand my frustration .
4 I travelled the entire 3 hours going + 3 hours back distance yesterday , to get the cord replaced from the shop , and got it tested to see if it works . It did . Came back home . Played through the night . Got up in the morning , and connected the bass , and all I get is this huge mass of Noise , the kind you get when you unplug the cord from the amp without shutting it first . And now it doesnt work again .
Anyways , just needed to rant out that **** . I got college exams this upcoming week , I wont be able to go to the shop unless I have some other special reason to going there . So I'm left in the hope that this pathetic cord that I have had for a century holds up till then .
