  1. [quote name='Chris Horton' post='704846' date='Jan 7 2010, 09:54 PM']Hi Ya, Could please send me pictures and a price for the Ser 6 200w, 2x10 + 2x5 valve pre combo. Many Thanks Chris[/quote] Hey, Chris All info sent. Cheers
  2. [quote name='agoulding' post='702383' date='Jan 6 2010, 01:16 AM']how much more is the 350x? :P[/quote] Catalogue info: AH350X Designed to match with 1818X cabinet Twin channel fan cooled unit Channel A delivers 150watts into 8 ohms and is high pass, above 250HZ only Channel B delivers 250 watts into 4 ohms full range. Seperate level controls are not fitted We recommend you use this unit with one or two 1818X enclosures Use channel B with a full range cabinet by itself for smaller gigs. So, it is an AH250 with a bonus high end if you have an extension cab. £400 'cos it is clean and working great! I have an 1818X cab - but they are almost always a 2-man lift.
  3. I took an Ampeg SVT-115 Classic cab in p/x. Sounded awful and wimpish. My tech checked to see if it had a pathetic driver. No - cast frame (Chinese) Eminence. Snipped the spade connectors and hardwired the speaker - big improvement in mid (any at all, now). Hmmm... Connection to the crossover board is a fiddly crimp on with spring contacts onto two rectangle bar thingmies all in a nylon junciton thing. Snip. Solder. NOW IT IS A CAB!!!!! Sounds amazing - 100X improvement. Wow! Ampeg - shame for that fiddly crap tone sucking nonsense. And they retail @ £549!?!?!?? Worth it after the mod, though. A great cab trying to get out.....
  4. Hey! Found these phone photos [attachment=39447:AH250_on_18_and_15.jpg] [attachment=39449:AH250_on...and_15_2.jpg] [attachment=39450:old_AH250_close_up.jpg] It is dark in the vault, so the black painted wood doesn't show well - but you get the idea? Didn't shoot the back, because it is straight stock and all OK. I can maybe do better detail (if it matters) when the snow goes.... As always, if you move on it and then decide it was 'not for you' as long as I'm not out of pocket, RTB is cool. Or if you would rather have the Mark V with the light and everything for a little more. Or the 350X Or the 500X Or ...
  5. How big is your car!?!?!?!? If it was up here, it would be nestled under my AH350X biamp had where it belongs....
  6. [quote name='Matte_black' post='701919' date='Jan 5 2010, 05:44 PM']Any small wattage head with a good preamp?[/quote] Oh, man - the AH150 is just away... Sorry.
  7. [quote name='agoulding' post='701181' date='Jan 5 2010, 12:13 AM']Currently have a 1x15 300w 8ohm cab atm and need a head for it! I am unfamiliar with all this gear so i may need some help anything around £200 maybe more Thats the cab actually in your 6th picture, can never remember the model names. Why not just call them people names instead of numbers. Would solve so many problems. [/quote] Your 1518 does what no small box can. Revel in its room-filling lift! Best I can do is the venerable AH250 - some broken sliders (but all work) and no light (so it is legal in Germany), but TONE, BABY! There is no gig that amp 'n cab cannot do. I will allow it to be owned for £275 delivered. If you ever see another one - buy it, too!
  8. Dave's not here, man. ...or am I the only one who remembers Cheech & Chong...?
  9. I know the prev. owner... Pity about the DI thing. The wee Trace preamp pedal is a good hleper here. gives you a GP12 pre that you can put between your bass and the desk = some hope of a sound....
  10. Please note:his cab is the B410HLF, not the SVT model. Still a sweetepiece, but not the same item.
  11. You are right about the AH1000 - that's the amp it wants. The BFC cab is a biamp design with a bottom section and stereo tops. It doesn't run full range unless you completely rewire it - and that involves a complete unbuild and some drilling... I have an AH500X and an AH350X that will run it, but for its full everything, you want to feed the 250w+250w stereo top section. Then WOW!
  12. Tough call... ...last one that went on ebay (in 2008, before valve prices went up twice) pulled £1k and had no statement of internal/operation condition - or even if it was working?!?! Currently has £520 ebay-worth of valves in it. Gotta be worth £1250 after Marshall get done with it (why send it anywhere else for a check-up?) I'll sell it valveless as-is for £525 delivered. Or we can go the 'check it first' wait-and-see route and do £1,250. I know it is a wide range, but there is no 'market price' for such a rare piece.
  13. Hmmm... Do I need another one so I can biamp with my AH500? Hmmm...
  14. Yep. Carlsbro 100 Top. Honest, well-made piece. Great value clean machine for a pedal head. Want a 50? - just pull a pair of output valves and drop the impedence one notch.
  15. Aye, it can go. I only have a couple of cabs that can take that thing and I am valve chuffing with my trusty Hiwatt 200 just now. Model 2001 375w head. I got it a while back with an intermittent fault. My tech sorted it, then we tested it and it was A+++ for a while, then something started up again. Coould have been a basic component or a valve (lord knows there's enough of them in there). Rather than throw more time/£ at it at that point, I mothballed it. A lot of the £ is going to be in the valves... I stuffed it with strong USA 6550s, but I have a set of Trace Chinese KT88s from when I had all those V8s (3) and V6s (4). I prefer to guarantee my stuff. My plan is to send it back to Marshall for a factory sort-out, then sell it with its 1-yr repair guarantee. But someone else can take that bit on if they want. Hard to value, but I am sure an archive search will come up with a 'fair market' price.

  17. Norway has been done before. I have taken some shots - now to download them and reduce the resolution to a manageable size for the site/email...
  18. [quote name='Amokoma' post='687814' date='Dec 17 2009, 10:23 PM']How much for the "Mk112+15+18 4ohm" and "Mk1 15+18 4ohm"? Do you have some pics please? I just gotta see these to believe...[/quote] I was up at the roomwith Rumour6 a few weeks ago. AH500 through 4x10 and 1x15 on one side and the 15+18 on the other. Then 1x15 + 2x15 and 15+18 Then 4x10+4x10 and 15+18 Then 4ohm 4x12 and 15+18 Then 4x10+4x10 and 1x15+1x15 Same volume in the room and 100m away. Tcha!!!! But - for me - the 15+18 on its own was pullentee. Am I broken?
  19. [quote name='Amokoma' post='687814' date='Dec 17 2009, 10:23 PM']How much for the "Mk112+15+18 4ohm" and "Mk1 15+18 4ohm"? Do you have some pics please? I just gotta see these to believe...[/quote] [size=3]Are akshully up for one - or just perving?[/size] The big cab is empty at the mo'. 400w Eminence 18 £100 300w Eminence 15 £75 The 12 has to be a shallow frame, so ... 200w JBL 12 £125 Loading and shifting and courier £100 ...and something for the box... £100 £500, I guess. Last Trace price was £1,182 in 1984. Discontinued @ MkV time. Cost was going to be £2k and they figured no one would pay £2k + retail markup. Quite right! Photos are tricky, as I have to move a bunch of stuff to get at it and the weather is pish for that. The cut down cab will be easier, and I may be seeing it today. I'll snap if so. The drivers are the right ones. Fane Crescendo 400w 18 Celestion 150w cast frame 15" £375? Putting the black paint cab version AH250 on it completley does it for me as a "balls-out/fill any hall/bass? here's yer bass, pal" rig.
  20. £180 is ludicrously cheap for this great amp. And a really clean example it is, too! I'd buy it - but if you have seen my thread - no point! This is much lower priced than mine, so somebody scoop this!!!!!!!!! Ya know - screw it - if it hits £150, I'm on!
  21. Would a 300w 4ohm 1x12 cab be a useful compact thingmie? I have one of the bass enhanced Black Widow 12s sitting here. I could load it into a clean Valvestate cab = wide enough to sit under a Yamaha. Otherwise, I have some bits 'n pieces. Pod GX USB interface. Roland Bass Amp/Cab emulator interface. Boss LM3-B pedal. DD-3. TU-2. Old Dod FX-25. '80s MXR Dynacomp. Ibanez PT 9 Phaser. Korg FLG-1 Flanger. Z-direct passive DI. Cheap but set up well P copy. And other stuff. Much other stuff. What are your tastes?
