  1. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='313157' date='Oct 23 2008, 05:55 PM']I really hope they get this right and produce a cheap alternative to the LMII![/quote]

    I'd laugh so much if they laid waste to the MarkBass given that everyone here is saying they'll blow up depsite the fact they've never seen one nevermind played through one :)

  2. [quote name='ste_m3' post='312029' date='Oct 22 2008, 01:20 PM']By science, Getting another 2x10 is the thing to do (please Alex or Bill correct me if i get this bit wrong!)

    -Stacking them end on end will bring the speakers much closer to ear level, Increasing percieved volume, as well as the dispersion around the stage being much more even.

    And on a second note, If you bought a 410 or 115, Each individual speaker would be working under a different stress, for example (again, correct me if i get this wrong!) 300watts into two cabs, one 410 and one 210, They both recieve 150 watts of power, each cone in the 410 recieves 37.5 watts, where as each cone in the 210 will recieve 75 watts. Basically you wont get the most out of the 410 before you blow the speakers in the 210. Especially as your only using 300 watts.

    Hope that made sense![/quote]

    The power gets split between the 6 speakers not the 2 cabs.

    And getting more 10's is correct - 15's are rubbish :)

  3. There are hundreds of mods you can do to change it to how you like it, download the tone stack calculator for a start. You can mod the capacitor values to have the tone section virtually flat, or with extreme scooped mids (the original is a slight mid scoop centred around 1kHz).

    True bypass does what it says on the tin, when the pedal is off it is off - the signal is routed only through the footswitch. Without true bypass you can get some bleeding of the signal which will affect tone slightly, I wouldn't worry about it unless you're running a chain of about 60 pedals :)


    Comparing tone section (centered) of USA and Russian:
    USA: -5dB@ around 850Hz
    Sovtek: -7dB@ around 1kHz

    Might explain why people prefer the more scooped sound of the Russian further into the mids for bass.

    Yeah I bid on that but was out when it finished :)

[quote name='steve-norris' post='308905' date='Oct 17 2008, 08:38 PM']To avoid all that tedious soldering malarkey get the proper shielding foil, it has conductive adhesive so you just stick one piece on top of the other. It really annoys me that some decent basses come without proper shielding, it can't really cost that much can it?[/quote]

    Exactly, you spend £xxx on a bass and they can't even put £1 of copper foil in it...

    That looks awesome :)

  7. [quote name='Delberthot' post='307580' date='Oct 16 2008, 08:31 AM']If it was the same as mine, your cab will have a Fane driver which I didn't rate very highly before buying and I was right, I managed to blow it relatively quickly. I put an Eminence Kappa driver in it as I had one sitting in its box. Sounded really good too.

    I swapped the original driver in a previous Trace cab i had. It ws the compact 1153. i can't remember the exact model but it was another celestion, albeit 300w instead of the original 200w and 4ohms instead of 8ohms. Sounded really good.[/quote]

    How exactly did you blow the speaker? Sounds like you did something wrong vs. there actually being anything wrong with the speaker...

  8. I once received a Marshall Guvnor in a childs shoebox packed with tissue paper which was slightly flattened with a bootmark over the address... Only that there were no holes for the jacks I'd have thought they'd had it thru an amp at the PO :)
