    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by mart3442

    1990's Trace Elliot 1x10 Cab. Owned from new, I've never actually come across another.
    rated at 150 watts at 8 ohms.
    Solid ply construction, black tolex covering and kickproof steel grill.
    Original TE badged speaker, undefeatable tweeter and bass port.
    Pretty good nick for its age, still sounds great, I used this for my double before it became my recording cab.
    I really don't use this anymore so time for it to go.
    Has a rubbery orange slip cover that my girl of the time made for me.
    £100 ono. Buyer may collect or I'm happy to post at the buyers expense.
    Any questions, please.
    Cheers,
    Mart.

    [b]Never found one I was happy with. They all suck the low end. Billy Sheehan is right: To retain proper bass tone with a pedal, you need a dual amp/pickup rig....[/b]

    [b]Just for the record from what I can remember, I've owned these (in no particular order):[/b]

    [b]Nobels Bass overdrive[/b]
    [b]Boss OD1[/b]
    [b]Boss Bass OD[/b]
    [b]Fultone Bass overdrive[/b]
    [b]Dave Hall Audio Bass Tube distortion[/b]
    [b]Ibanez Tube screamer modded for low end[/b]
    [b]Some "Boutique" thing from the states[/b]
    [b]Sansamp bassdriver[/b]
    [b]Sansamp programmable bassdriver[/b]
    [b]DAM audio Ezekiel 25:17 Bass fuzz[/b]
    [b]Coloursound overdrive[/b]
    [b]Ratt (not a bass one)[/b]
    [b]Amptweaker Bass tightdrive[/b]

    [b]And thats not counting the ones I only tried out.[/b]

    [b]If I want overdrive/distortion now, I just turn the gain up full on my AD200.........[/b]

    Precision Bass project

    in Build Diaries

    Posted · Edited by mart3442

    After months of searching in vain for a decent used P Bass body, I took a chance and bought a "repainted 1976 Fender Precision body" off Usa ebay. my heart sank when it turned up: The worst kind of rattle can respray, (inc cavities and neck pocket) and a small route out the back, "a battery compartment"....On closer inspection, its a nice weight, the contours are well cut and sanded and having nitromorsed the neck pocket, there are definite signs of the all important stamps...Fingers crossed and I'll keep you updated.
