Bump - no takers? Seems a shame...

One came off a sub woofer and measures 48.3cm x 53.3cm. It has two angled returns on the shorter edges but theres at least 41cm x 53.3 of flat area. The other came off a Hartke 4x12 cab, and has a slight angle back half way along its length. Its in the loft at the moment and its a bit of a faff to get down but I will get dimensions for anyone who asks. Both are painted black. Free to anyone who might find a use for them and is able to collect but I'll be putting them out with the recycling this Thursday if noones interested.

Really? I had one of their sub woofer modules and they sent me the user manual via email within days of contacting them. I hope they're not in any trouble. If they are, I'll be stock piling one of their rack mounted Class D power amps and maybe a couple of their Class D amp modules...

There's good ol' BK Electronics... [url="http://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/ClassD/ClassD.htm"]http://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/ClassD/ClassD.htm[/url] However they only do one Class D module and it's rated at 600w RMS. They also do a wider range of MOSFET power amp modules but they aren't offered with a back panel. However it's always worth giving them a call and seeing if they can rig something up for you?

there is a voicing option on the RB700 head that allows it to sound like the 800RB.

[quote name='ped' post='309695' date='Oct 19 2008, 10:31 AM']Kiwi you forgot that we ALSO squeezed in two more basses in hard cases (the Smiths)[/quote] You're absolutely right. There I was while typing, thinking I'd missed something out too!

Three rolls of value trade lining paper, 1000 grade, 40m x 56cm. Collection preferred as they'll be a right pain to post (and expensive). Available until this Thursday.

I'm mid clear-out and just uncovered a Trace Elliot sales brochure in near mint condition which I originally got in New Zealand when the range first arrived. No tears or wrinkles anywhere because its spent most of its life in a stiffened envelope. The brochure covers the Series 6 range including the solid state heads, twin, quatra and hexavalve heads, the MP-11, the VA400 head and the VR400 valve power amp, as well as the more standard stuff models such as the AH250 (which I owned). Does anyone know whether it would attract sufficient interest to make it worth putting on Ebay?

I have a Honda Civic V-tech Aerodeck - practical, cheap to own, damn nippy on the motorway. For the SE Bassbash Ped and I managed to get the following in with the seats down: 2 basses + amp (double gig bag) 1 bass (single gig bag) 2 Vigiers (semi hard cases) 2x12 cab Trace V8 Trolley (heavy duty) 3 stands 5 bass rack stand Plus 2 ppl. PS: if any one is looking to buy a car in the next 6-8 weeks drop me a PM.

sounds like a good time for Tayste to shift some of his collection.

For all we know from the pics, the arse might be cut out of them. Might be worth dropping the seller a PM actually, Ped could be interested.

EDIT, nope nothing is coming up for combinations of MUD, Les Gray and Tiger Feet plus either ITV, 3-2-1 or 321. However I was thinking that because there are some fans of MUD on you tube, it might actually be worth dropping a few of them a line with the same request. I'd imagine some of them are bound to be willing to help a former member.

I had a quick skim on Youtube and didn't find anything from 3-2-1 but did uncover his from Blue Peter in 1996... ...I shall keep searching in the mean time...

update from Jon last night, success at last! He and Rob managed to combine the two files (one for the radiussed curve, the other for the outline and routing) and hopefully the first prototype body will be milled very soon out of some cheap offcut just to check the fit tolerances and alignment. If I have time, I might try and sketch something to show what the instrument could look like.

Update: the finish has been causing Jon a few problems mainly because the redwood is soaking the lacquer up like a sponge, in particular over the cavities in the body. Looks like this redwood has been causing Jon no end of problems in working with it. Anyway, the bass isn't going to be ready for the charidee gig on Monday

looks like there's a MM Cutlass at the back of that group too.

speaking of TV themes, I believe I may have found an example of Abe Laboriel playing on CHiPs at last! A nice fill at 2:00 Cheesy disco! Sounds like he's playing the lines on a Musicman Sabre too because the bass sounds very similar to my Cutlass II. Its not as good as the stuff he did when it was just bass doing the incidental music. I'm still hunting for a season of that stuff on youtube

I agree about playing as many as you can, however if you find a Status Groove 5 and it feels and sounds OK to you, they're hard to beat for value. Expect to pay 200-300 quid.

Sounds good to me though I challenge anyone to tell the difference between solid state Class A, A/B, D, G or whatever on stage during the middle of a set. Everything else being equal of course. I think Trace should whack together a few wedge cabs with 12 and 15 inch drivers.

and that, gents, I hope will be the last word on the matter? Unless of course you all have nothing better to do than argue around in circles.

Its amazing how easily it can happen, especially where venues have wiring thats been rigged up on the fly. WD I'm so glad you had a lucky escape, we certainly don't need another member going to the great Bass Shop in the Sky after the last couple of months. I hope your burns heal quickly and there's no lasting or permenant damage.
