    I've had the good fortune to be able to try almost all of Chris' (Thorneybank) Trace gear and there was a definite pattern. The oldest stuff to me sounded the best and by the time I got to the SMX stuff it was very noticably poorer. The SMX is still an outstanding amp but between all of them it was the most disappointing. The best head I've ever used (which now belongs to Chris) was a Series V AH150 GP11. I used that with a Trace 1248 4x12" cab and the sound was phenomenal. Unfortunately I have a fear of older stuff going wrong so traded it for something else. Thing is the amp could probably do another 20 years and parts are readily available. I love the Trace cabs. My favourites amongst the normal range are the 1153 1x15" and 4052H bright box. The 1248H and 1528 V-series cabs are phenomenal - Conan has one of the 1528 2x15" cabs for sale. It used to be mine and before that it belonged to Chris.

    I may have made this up but I think in China whoever trademarks a brand name first has the legal right to use it. So if I was first, I could've trademark the name Fender if Fender hadn't done it first and sell guitars under the Fender name in China

    [quote name='skidder652003' post='1255041' date='Jun 3 2011, 08:49 AM']forgive my ignorance guys but if you want to slap, do you still recommend flats? You're all making them sound great but are they a one trick pony? Never tried them so a bit confused about this![/quote] Yip - flats on a Precision slap really well.

    The giraffe stands will easily take 45+ kg. I know cos I've done it. I bought it so I could use my speaker as a monitor pointed at me but for gigs with no PA support I angle it almost horizontal to project out front while still being able to hear it. I could get the same effect by putting it on a table or using the empty cab idea but the stand folds up into next to nothing.

    I use a meridian 80w guitar amp. Its still bloody loud though but I can get rid of most of the low end to avoid the neighbours having kittens

    The only constant I've had over the past 4 or 5 years has been me.

    From the Guitar Dater Project: [quote]Guitar Info Serial number unrecognized Please ensure that you selected a Country of Manufacture. If you are still having difficulties please contact the webmaster.[/quote] So its either 1988-90 MIA with a digit missing or 84-87 MIJ with a digit missing,

    Does that mean I can have it for free then? Seriously though folks the last one of these that went on Ebay sold for £200 and that didn't include the extra 50w and it was pickup only so it would've probably gone for more had postage been offered. So to recap - 300w @ 8 ohms, celestion 150w speakers (I'm pretty sure that these are same ones that Trace used to use in their 2x10"s) delivered for much cheapness

    I've had jokers on Ebay trying to charge more than that to courier a bass

    [quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='1257489' date='Jun 5 2011, 05:19 PM']I'd have this if I lived closer. Had a look at shipping, cheapest I could see was £31.80 ex vat................. Have a bump.[/quote] That probably will be your cheapest. I couriered the flight case that this cab use to live in down south and it was about £45

    Looks like someone's used it while doing an oil change on their car. I'm off to disinfect my eyes

    This always confuses me. After General bass, off topic etc, the next two sub forums are Bass, then double Bass & EUB then Amps and Cabs. But when you go the for sale section Amps & cabs comes before Double Bass & EUB. Not a big issue but I'm always selecting the one below Bass thinking its amps and cabs when it is Double Bass and I ain't no newbie. Don't know if this bothers or confuses anyone else of if its just due to my OCD nature

    Wrong tuners, pickups and added finger rest. Reported. Plus Rick never made a bolt on 4003. The first Ric bolt on was the 3000 which was briefly introduced in 1971 then abandoned until 1975

    You've no idea how times I've thought about buying it back again

    What's that smell? Manure? I hate manure

    haha, the final proof that they do exist. I emailed EMG a couple of years ago to ask if I could see a picture of a white EMG Precision pickup. the reply was: 'They're like the black one except white' no sh*t Sherlock

    [quote name='dc2009' post='1255837' date='Jun 3 2011, 07:28 PM']Bass factory in Korea = the cort factory Makers of Corts, Deans and a whole host of others.[/quote] I don't think it is the same factory as cort. Taken from their website: [quote]Saein Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. Is located in Namdong Industrial Complex in Incheon, Korea. Saein was established in 1991, 07. 01. Currently, we have 100 employees, and our monthly capacity is 4,500pcs still growing to expand. Our main business is OEM for famous brand Epiphone. Also, our solely branded Shine is increasing steadily. In February, 2001, we have successfully launched a new independent factory in Gaomi City, China. It is only an hour away from Qingdao Shandong province. Our China factory employees are 300 people, and our monthly capacity is 10,000pcs still growing to expand as well. We are an OEM vendor for famous brand Ibanez, and Peavey.[/quote]

    You could be on to something. which makes this a 'just along the road from me £100 interested' bump

    When I can sell my 8 string I might be interested in one of these, unless you fancy a trade?
