Always loved trace gear,I have had loads of heads Ah500smx12,ah300ah300,ah350 gp11 and a ah130 .Must have had 6 or 7 different trace cabs too .Currently I have a ah250mk4,ah250mk5,blx150,1048h,1518 and a 1028h. The valve stuff I have is a V6 and a V type pre amp and my pride and joy which I have just managed to get hold of is a V4 head. The tranny stuff is great and the smx with the valve blend was really usable.The V6 is big and full sounding and can get dirty if pushed but the V4! Well it really is a beast,2 channels so foot switchable and can get Filthy dirty,valve compressor and on board biasing led's.It really is the dogs danglies. With the tranny stuff I always tweaked the graphic etc but with the V4 you just plug in with everything set flat and bang! It just sounds fantastic. So personally the valve stuff just sounds better but I keep one of the ah's just to chuck in the van as a not too shabby back up.

Somethin not right abought the string spacing,if its a low E its nearly off the neck and as the strings get lower they are less in line with the pick up poles!

My Bitsa Jazz,Emg pups,Bart pre and 3D bridge.Old school bass with modern sounds too. [attachment=80655:jimi_jazz_001.jpg] [attachment=80656:jimi_jazz_.jpg]

[quote name='Skezza' post='1240216' date='May 22 2011, 12:18 PM']I am using a couple of 1990s Bass collection active 4 string bases for gigging. A gt6B for compression and effects with the preamp turned off a peavey Tmax 500 watt head and two of the new lightweight Trace elliot 1 x15s. Usually unless its a very big venue I do not go through the PA. I use the guitar with eithet the P bass pickup or a mix of the p and j pickups. My problem is that I find the bass E string gets very boomy and feedsback and to control it I have to back off the active bass control on the guitar thus making the bass sound a liitle thin. I have tried reducing the input gain and it had no effect. I have used the in built EQ and dialed up the miserable face ): like I used to do on my Trace head but I still have the boomy string problem. Any suggestions Please can you PM me as I am out setting up a PA for a festival and Pms come to my phone I have a gig Monday so I would like to try some ideas out before then skez[/quote] Mmm,so they both do it? Have you tried through another head/cabs and removing all effects?
