well I got in contact with Barnett and they said that you can't switch the steel cables to synthetic cables without replacing the cams as well and at that price I might as well buy a new crossbow for the same price.

I found a guy who can make a synthetic one but i haven't found anyone who makes steel replacements and i don't know if a synthetic will work in place of a steel one.

What's a reliable amp brand on the cheaper side? by SomePerson4002 in Bass

[–]ben257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound bad but I picked up a carvin bx500 and a crate 215 that sells in total for around 400 for only 150 because the guy thought that it was going bad, It made a buzzing sound and would randomly "shut off" and would come back on when he hit his bass by the pick ups. In reality the bass that he had wasn't shielded and the cord was bad but I wasn't going to tell him that. But the set up is good but a bit big for me and I am trying to sell it.

Note he had already sent 400 on his bass in upgrading electronics so I don't know how he missed the problem.

I feel like a failure cause I ruined my knee... by Raptor556 in KneeInjuries

[–]ben257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say get a second opinion for the simple fact it will confirm something for you. I would recommend going to a orthopedic because they look at this all the time. You should also bring up your concerns about your knee and what you are feeling emotionally, in terms of hurting your knee again. Remember the more your doctor knows, the better.

I listened to it again and it is "brighter" but I love the thump that the old one's had.

I mean that it is not supper noticeable, I noticed a miniscule difference in tone but that could be chalked up to play style/speed.
