Need the funds/space so now's the time to sell my Musicman SUB bass made in the USA. It's in very good condition (never gigged) and comes in a nice Rockcase (Warwick). £395.00 collection in Herts or North/East London. Would be prepared to post at cost.

    [quote name='lemmywinks' post='1053568' date='Dec 10 2010, 12:08 AM']A transistor amp is a solid state amp. Any amp which doesn't have an output transformer (ie pretty much all SS amps) is fine without a load. If your tech said that i'd be worried about trusting him with any other amp repair[/quote] did blow though after 10 years of normal use, and been alright since taking the advice

    [quote name='Alien' post='1051958' date='Dec 8 2010, 06:04 PM']The higher the impedance your speakers are, the less power you'll get from your amp, and the less hard the amp has to work to deliver that power (less current flowing = less heat). Running with no speakers plugged in is effectively an infinitely high impedance, so no power output and no current flow. A[/quote] in that case, how come my Peavey blew up when it was being used as a pre amp in the studio. It was running with no speaker connected. The 'post line out' went into the desk. A week later the output stage gave out. It's a MkIII which is solid state innit? or isn't it? the tech that repaired it said " DONT DO THAT AGAIN! never run an amp without a speaker connected fool". I had tinnitus for a week after he shouted at me. That's why i started this post in the first place. ...so is it because the Peavey is transistor, and that dont count as 'solid state'?? Someone define 'solid state' then if its not. would have asked the techie but I was too scared ...

    [quote name='david_l_perry' post='1051808' date='Dec 8 2010, 03:46 PM']You can run just one cab off one side (min 4ohm) with no problems (I have one I have for rehearsal/backup and do just this) You can run your 1x15 off one channel, and 2x8 ohm off the other channel. Problem is you can't balance the levels, so one cab could sound louder than the other, but it will not cause any problems to the amp You will get the best output with a pair of 4ohm cabs (one per channel). The original superfly consept was for a pair of 4ohm 2x10 cabs, and is probably the best way to get the most out of these amps. They are not the loudest things on the face of the planet by any stretch of the imagination. For what its worth, I would strip all the outer cassing off the amp as it adds loads of weight and can cause problems with overheating. Dave[/quote] thanks Dave. - can you explain why its cool to run on one cab? it does actually mean one of the amps is running without anywhere to send its load...doesn't it? Or does the second amp compensate somehow? out of interest...The 1x15 is all I have to replace the blown 15" in the 1x15 superly - s'pose its best to just get a replacement driver. Only thing is....I dont know why it blew in the 1st place. I bought it blown, thats why I got it at a silly price.

    Superly amp 500watt version is basically 2x250watt amplifiers. Unbridgeable apparently. so I have two queries. 1. can I run just one cab off this, or am I doomed to carry 2 cabs to every gig? Ashdown answered this enquiry by saying its ok to run just one. My amps not under warranty, so if it blows, they have no liability. I dont trust their answer! 2: I have a 15" driver rated at 8ohms. Would I be right in assuming this would be ok to run off one side of the Superfly amp while running a Superfly 2x8 4ohm on the other output as they are 2 independent amps? all suggestion if you know what your on about would be most welcome thanks!!

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='605130' date='Sep 21 2009, 10:00 PM']It's only Speakon and don't like the tone of the amp so I'll let someone else do it. I think it may be 250W on each side @ 8 OHMs I should have the email from the guy who sold it to me. Wait up.[/quote] its actually 2 x 250watts into 2 x 4ohms unbridged - not possible to bridge the two amps unfortunately. each speaker output is a separate output for each 250watt amp. Even if only half is working, its still a pretty neat 250watt amp. probably something like 180 watts into 8ohms. Still pretty cool!!

Removal of the jack still powers down as normal. (a very minor mod easily reversed back to original state) previews welcome - I'm in Essex[/quote] been offered a nice swap which is gonna happen on Sunday the 28th, weather permitting (snow forecast) if anyone wants to try and scupper this deal, time is running out

    [quote name='richardcoughlan' post='1036294' date='Nov 25 2010, 01:23 PM']just very quickly made these sound clips (bass straight into Logic, no eq or presets added) first is both pickups on, conventional jazz bass tone but with a bit more oomph (EBS preamp!) [url="http://files.me.com/richardcoughlan1/tkfe8q.mp3"]http://files.me.com/richardcoughlan1/tkfe8q.mp3[/url] second is just the bridge pickup for Jaco-esque tones [url="http://files.me.com/richardcoughlan1/llgx3i.mp3"]http://files.me.com/richardcoughlan1/llgx3i.mp3[/url] did these in a bit of a hurry, if there's any other sounds you'd like to hear let me know and I'll try and sort it asap. The preamp is very versatile and can pretty much configure whatever you like! Best Rich[/quote] nice..!!

    [quote name='geoff90guitar' post='1027398' date='Nov 17 2010, 10:30 PM']The original 11 band eq preamp 250 watts (under-rated) 500watts peak, the sound is simply legendary, something you can only ever achieve with an original much desired AH250 model. It’s big, it’s meaty and will handle any venue. You can power two 4x10 cabs or a 4x10 plus one 1x15 cab real easy. FRONT • GP-11 preamp section, featuring: • Line In/ Preamp link • Signal out Low Level • Line out High Level • Effects( Send/Return) • Transformer Balanced D.I. (Pre/Post EQ) • Noise Reduction • Input1, Input 2 • Input gain control with signal peak LED ( to set gain just right) • Pre-Shape - Classic TRACE SOUND in a button • 11-band graphic EQ 40 Hz to 15KHz OUTPUT SECTION (BACK) • Speaker Out Jack • Speaker Out D.I. • 2 speed cooling fan HI/LOW • UV On/Off The amp is in nice overall condition with the exception of two tiny PB caps missing from the eq section (as picture shows, now white) but everything fully functional as it should be. These amps were built so you can get spare parts from almost anywhere in the world. This amp is NOT one of the later push button fizzy series 6. The UV light when it is dark on stage enables you to see all the controls, even in total darkness. From all the possible settings the 11 Band EQ offers you to tailor the tone exactly the way you like it. The pre-shape gives you another option. In my experience of over 40years, as amps continue to develop, the extra circuitry just reverses what the makers originally set out to do (if you can understand that). Look at an old AC30 – 3 knobs! These early Trace models were and are the true Trace bass sound. – It’s what they hear out there – not what you hear down by your legs and these amps just have that middle warmth to throw the bass sound. This is the best bit. This is the last of my heads – it is the best. I have just bought a Mark Bass combo for £895 and I have to stick with it. I’m 62 next year and I need something lighter. The Mark Bass is very good – but….I do grit my teeth as to where THAT lovely rich bass sound has gone. Price only £250 for quick sale. Cheers. Geoff[/quote]
