    8x10s

    longtimefred replied to cocco's topic in Amps and Cabs

    also depends on how much of a kicking the ampeg has had compared to the Marshall. If your ampeg is getting a little tired this wont help matters. I hate playing through something that sounds better than what i got. more debt looms when that happens! lol.

    hey bud, never heard the term bananna's before, lol. But the input and link connections are jack inputs. Not too sure on how old it is to be honest, my dad bought it about 5 years ago from a dealer when these were selling at £800 and he has never used it. I have recorded with it once and done a few rehearsals and 3 shows with it. Absolutely no creases or anything wrong with the drivers, im damn sure they are the originals. The thing sounds amazing as you probably know, and when im playing it by myself, its the nicest tone i have ever had, it just gets a little lost when my 2 guitarists crank up their Engl Powerball guitar heads n stuff! I need my 10" speakers back!! Sorry, i have had my day with big ass speaker cabs, i would love to have another but they break my back and i can get what i need from one half the size.

    After a few months of playing around with my Eden 2 x 12 i think i have decided that its not the right sound i need and i need to go back to 10" speakers for that more punchy aggressive tone. So, im thinking either an (american) Ampeg, SWR, i like the top model GK stuff, Eden, orange Trace or anything else of same quality. If anyone would be interested in a straight trade then thats what im good for as i have little to no money... Or - Cash sale for £375 ono Giz a shout if so..

    nice to see you made your bed before taking the pic! good luck with the sale mate beast of a rig!

    Brings back memories! I used to have one of these around 8 years ago. Probably the bass that prompted me to buy a Musicman. Really miss that bass, was well made and sounded great. Good luck with the sale mate.

    id cancel the order and re order a 4ohm cab, much more options that way. DUH!!! stupid me, i should research my opinions or thoughts before posting, just checked the "whats the difference between 4 and 8ohm cabs thread" but i do like things loud so lower impedance has always worked better for me. lol
  13. longtimefred
    Also check out the Marshall VBA400. Bit of the underdog compared to the Orange and Matamp but still a killer amp and is mosterously loud!! I used to have one and it was as dirty as you wanted + more and still had good clarity. Only reason i sold up is the £200+ bill to re valve the damn thing (8 x 6550 tubes) OUCH! PS if you can find a Trace Elliot V4,6 or 8. none of the above will come into it! hehe.

    when i was Jazz shopping, i found that some of the new Trace combos really sang that Jazz tone rather nicely. I tried a USA and a Mex through one of the 15" combos and i really liked that sound. just my 2p worth

    i got a tanglewood SR 4 string copy in red with white scratchplate in perfect condition for sale for £90 or nearest offer.
  16. longtimefred
    LOL u got the VERY used part right! Its seen a lot of the world and lots of gigs. Its certainly not in mint condition but its amazing Sure its had a refret as well as the fretboard is slightly cracked up the dusty end.
  17. longtimefred
    Here is my Set up. Used to have the old 1084 8x10 with the V4 but the Eden sounded too good to not use. V4 needs a re valve on the power tubes as i have given it a good pasting over the last 18 months! New Tung Sol KT88 here it comes.

    [quote name='Phyrexian' post='593765' date='Sep 9 2009, 12:28 PM']SWEET! My dream amp; the only amp I would consider trading my Trace Elliot V8 for...[/quote] Dude! You would swap your V8 for a V4? See my Signature..... Im gonna get some pictures of my baby up ASAP.

    This is my 89 'Ray5, its my baby and i loves it!!! My apologies for the dirty state of it, i just taken it out of its case since coming back off my last tour with the band. Question i need to ask is does anyone know if this is an official finish or did the previous owner sand it down and varnish it? lol.
  20. longtimefred
    Higgie - how are you finding the Nordstrand p'ups in the Ray5? I got an 89 one and been thinking for a while about getting one but never heard what they are like? they worth shelling out for? what is the difference to the standard one? Cheers mate
  21. longtimefred
    yak! nearly lost my dinner when i saw that! lol. Would look nice as part of the Queens furniture at Buckinham Palace!! Bet it sounds rather posh n all

    i used to use a Peavey PV900 power amp along with the Peavey Max Pre Amp. Was a great rig and never let me down. Not really much need for stereo channels i found so i just used bridge mode to link the 2 together. Beware of cheaper low power amps though as most of them do not bridge down past 8ohms. (well they didnt used to when i had one)
  23. longtimefred
    my god im so intregued by this!!!! What is the crack here? I did a straight swap for my V4 for a Marshall VBA400 with a fresh set of tubes in it. So im guessing around £600 - £700 for that. I wanna know about that V6!!!
  24. longtimefred
    thought i would add mine to the list. Sounds fooking killer!!!
  25. longtimefred
    keep it dude. if you aint in a rush or in dire straits, keep it. them amps kick ass!!
