Alternatively, pair the Trace valve heads with an inefficient cab and you can push the power section at reasonable volume. The cabs will act like a powersoak. Looks well camp, mate. I can see why you like it. [/quote] I really didn't like the pre-amp valve overdrive at all (on any amp for that matter!), however that's a good reminder - I need to get myself a power soak!

[quote name='ped' post='127954' date='Jan 25 2008, 06:54 PM']Look at what a chap on Talkbass did to his Trace: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5200809&postcount=363"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showpost.php...p;postcount=363[/url][/quote] That looks shockingly sh*te.

wotnwhy - only the power leads and the sommer wire left; I'll drop them off at the tao bar for your gig (which I'll be in attendance for if I'm not picking the missus up later on).

No worries guys. I've got a couple of CDR's still should anyone want one.

Thanks guys, list update, sorry if you've missed out!

I'm not fussed either way but I do struggle to undertsand why amps like these (like ampeg b2 or whatever it was) get put in a huge heavy wooden housing when they don't need it. Looks I suppose?

Nice amps but just a little too 'polite' for my tastes and also I've found that I prefer lower power valve heads so that you can get a little power section saturation without causing structural damage to the building you're in!

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='129051' date='Jan 28 2008, 06:44 AM']My dig is directed at the importer, really. I don't care if it's built on the moon by the royal family... I ain't paying Sixteen hundred quid for an MPulse. Someone somewhere is having a laugh, I think.[/quote] Agreed, they have obviously spent years cultivating the falacy that Mesa=Boutique. They're good solid amps but in the states they're just as cheap as Marshalls are to us - I can't think of any other US brand that gets such huge mark ups as a result of crossing the atlantic.

Right here's the list, free to collectors in Bristol - postage might be possible on some of the smaller items: ALL GONE FOLKS!

Nah, don't worry about it - my CDR's just collect dust and I'm sticking them in the post at work!

Right, they're copied but just on blank CD's with no printing. However, I've scanned in the CD cover as a pdf should anyone wish to print it out.

Guys, I'm afraid I won't get chance to post these out until Tuesday now - didn't get round to this on the weekend as I had an amp to pack and get out!

I'll make sure I burn a copy then until everyone on this thread is satisfied I think it's mostly tutorial type stuff but I'll check later on.

Postage is free! Who wants the original then and who wants the copy?

I found the only cover CD that Bassist ever did when I was clearing out and moving house - anyone want it to complete their Bassist mag collection? It's never even been played. Thanks, Graham

Very quick payment and very good comms. Man, that sounds like an ebay feedback. Basically, sound as a pound. Graham

They were sh*t then too. *runs off*

If you blew one up (and end up using any other similar ported cab in future), I'd seriously suggest cutting the bass - with the 810 the bass is limited by the nature of the cab design (i.e. sealed) and speakers will require far more power to get them past their 'normal' excursion. With a ported cab you can't just whack a load of bass through from a valve amp in the same way as you might with an Ampeg 810 without doing damage (you probably noticed the speakers jumping around). So in summary, just exercise a little caution until you get the Berg which will be able to handle it!

That sounds like one major ball ache. Get a cheap used Peavey 410tx/txf in the meantime - that should more than cover it.

Nice price. I think it's fair to say that some of that price is to do with being within the EU so no shipping and import duty costs at the same penalty as the US manufacturers. Or it's a loss leader for the £4000 matching cab
