    Big TE fan here. The old amps were pretty loud. From experience I think a lot of older cabs were far more efficient at converting the watts to volume. I have a TE AH600 now and it's not as stupidly loud as I recall them being in the 90's but think it's more to do with the modern cabs I use. The combos go for peanuts now because they're heavy but other than weight I still really rate them.

    I'd look for a powered pair of Rcf art 322s or 325s. Great all rounders with smooth top end and good reliability. Don't bother with the 312s, 315s, 412s etc as the 1 inch tweeters are poor. A pair of 322a's went for well under £400 on ebay recently.

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1404328232' post='2491676'] My covers band have a very simple way of deciding on material. We leave any pretence of 'artistic integrity' at the door and play the stuff people ask for and dance to. If that means 'Mustang Sally' and 'Johnny Be Good' then so be it, our diary is bulging all the way up to NYE and we're already taking bookings for 2015. [/quote] +1 for us too.

    [quote name='ironside1966' timestamp='1404260504' post='2490976'] I have nothing against the song or anybody playing old music but there seems to be a lot of covers bands playing the same songs. Be the best, be different, or just be the cheapest but don’t be like all the others. [/quote] Whole new argument right there. To me the song selections say more about the punters than the band. I played in a band that did brilliant covers of some really different songs and despite a brilliant front man and some great players we were always faced with punters asking for the usual covers classics and venue owners who were reluctant to book us. my current bands opt for doing our best with well known stuff (black velvet included) and we are far busier now.

    I like it too. It's a nice song with a solid bass part that, in the right setting, people seem to really enjoy. For me the only measure of a good song is if people enjoy it and with this one they generally do.

    If they have all the ability in the world it doesnt count for jack unless they're a team player. Our drummer has the full shebang except for wanting to be part of a team. He never wants to rehearse, never wants to record, never wants to go for a beer (I can live with that bit) and usually buggers off as soon as he has his kit in the car. It makes us feel like we're a burden on his life. We get well paid so the rest of us would like to see more enthusiasm.

    Get it fixed. Terrific little amps the series 6 stuff. You'll always get trace elliot haters but many people still love them for a good reason. I think the weight thing is nonsense unless you're medically unfit to carry anything or just a total wuss. We all benefit from a little exercise and with a little eq knowhow trave stuff sounds great. Plus you've had it this long it's family now.

    mrstcat and I are expecting the imminent arrival of a juniortcat so I'm raising some funds. Now that I'm comfortable with my BFM 1x12s it's time to let my Berg go. This is simply brilliant. Authoritive, crystal clear, warm etc etc etc I simply can't fault the sound. It's in great condition thanks to it coming with a berg cover. It has been gigged plenty so there's some scuffing underneath and you can see marks on the back where it has been slid into the car but these are superficial. It looks immaculate from all other angles. Asking for £600 collected from Silverstone Northants. Won't post due to size.

    Have some cables etc too I can add. Pics and details to follow.

    Off to pick up an AH600 SMX tomorrow. As a teenager it was the holy grail of amps for me. Don't give a **** what it sounds like or what it weighs. It's got a UV light and that's enough for me.

    For sale £100 I used this with a spare PA amp whilst my main amp head was being repaired and was really impressed. Warm, punchy and really versatile. Full details can be found here: www.bbesound.com/products/instrument-preamps/bmax.aspx In great condition with just a little scratch on top comes in box but has no manual but that is available online. Can post within UK for £10

    Incoming baby means a clear out is needed. Selling some great value PA gear. 1st up are two Bill Fitzmaurice Titan 39 subwoofers. If you don't know about BFM cabs take a look at [url="http://www.billfitzmaurice.com"]www.billfitzmaurice.com[/url] and see the light. These are each loaded with an Eminence Delta 12LF and have had only light use as they are backups for our T48's. At 21 inches wide they fit easily through doors. Weighing in at around 20kg and fitted with wheels they're super easy to move. I'm an authorised builder of these cabs and usually sell T39's for £650 each. I'm asking just £450 for the pair!!!! Next I have an unloaded pair of Titan 39's. These are well used but are in sound condition. You will need to put your own 12inch driver in each one and I will give the buyer a list of drivers that will work. You have several suitable drivers to choose from ranging in price from £80 - £180. A swift lick of paint will make them look like new. A bargain at £150 for the pair. 3rd up is a Behringer Ultragraph FBQ1502 dual 15 band graphic EQ. This was used for ringing out our monitors and allowing us to get max vol. Full working order with box, manual and power lead just £40 Next the amp that powered the monitors. Behringer Europower EP1500. Fully working but no box. Prefer collection as it's as heavy as a power amp should be. This would comfortably power the two Titan 39's. £100 Another power amp. Used as a backup a ProSound 1000. Cheap, cheerful but full functioning. Pick up only please. £50 Need a crossover? Behringer CX2310 Super X-Pro. Again cheap but functional and in good condition. No box but will include power lead £25 Postage available on the rack bits but amps and cabs collection only due to size / weight. Take the whole lot for £700 and all you need is a mixer and a couple of tops and you have a really decent set up. Hit me with offers and don't be afraid to ask questions! I'm in Northant's nr Silverstone and can happily demo any of the above in action.

    Berg NV610 or NV412 and an amp with 12 band eq would be my advice but for the love of god go try before you buy or it could just be an exercise in making that list even longer.

    If there's a big pa system then you'd be much better off asking the sound person to put your bass into the monitor mix. It'll sound very messy with a sub as you'll just be increasing the volume of your low end. Cut your bass and boost your mids on your backline amp to cut through more and then let the sound engineer put you into the monitors.

    What a terrible predicament, I feel your pain. Doesn't matter which one you keep. Either way you'll have a great cab and either way you'll always wonder "should I have kept the other". Both are equally good and the difference is negligible and as you say you don't prefer one over the other then just pick one and sell it.

    Endless possibilities but as a three piece we used to throw in Play That Funky Music White Boy Superstition Disco 2000 Walking On Sunshine But to be fair pretty much anything is possible with enough imagination.
