mine sounded good with my Trace 4x12" and with the 1524 2x15"

[quote name='icastle' post='1030647' date='Nov 20 2010, 05:44 PM']Unfortunately, TE have had both 8Ω and 4Ω cabinets in their product range over the years and it's hard to ascertain where this cab came from in the history of TE.[/quote] Normally if the cab name ends in a 4 then its 4ohms. I don't recall there being a 1044 cab. Only 4 ohm cabs I can think of are the 1524 tall 2x15", the BFC was 3 4ohm cabs in one and the 1084 8x10" It looks ike a mark V cab [url="http://www.quicksound.co.uk/articles/trace_elliot/images/10-11.jpg"]http://www.quicksound.co.uk/articles/trace...mages/10-11.jpg[/url]

Well after a few gigs I'm very impressed. It may have lot to do with the bass they're on, my Thunderbird, but they sound really aggressive and not even remotely 'flat' sounding. They're more roundwounds that have done dozen gigs sounding. I managed to get the action even lower when installed these as they are slightly higher tension than the strings I was using so don't flap as much, although the Hartkes felt stiff enough when I was using them. It still sounds very Warwick Thumb sounding at times but that could be partly due to me favouring the bridge pickup, in fact the neck one is rarely on at all. I'm a happy bunny so far. I'll report back after the Christmas party nights are done and dusted as they should be as settled in as they're going to get by then

I got a Wilkinson one which looks identical from Ebay for £17 delivered Still to install it. Funnily enough it also looks identical to the EMG 35HZ that its going to be going with in my Thunderbird

I went through a phase of trying to sound like my favourite bass players so I had the Stingray 5 string and Modulus Flea to sound like flea, the Ricks to sound like Chris Squire, several Stingrays to sound like Bernard Edwards and 1980ish John Deacon, several precisions to sound like John Deacon. The common thing between all of these basses is that I sounded damn all like any of them, In fact I sounded most like Chris Squire with an Epiphone EB-3. I eventually gave up and now sound exactly like me which at the minute is quite aggresive, bridge pickup and Roto flats

I thought that first picture was of the moon with a silver sticker on it at first I think all Trace 4x10"s are 8ohms. It will be 200w RMS, max is normally quoted as double that by some manufacturers

That's some practice setup I've gone and done it. I have the last one in stock in the warehouse at Digital Village set aside for me to pay for next week.

Ooh I get it - they're trying to do the same to the Squier brand as Fender already do - have 10 squillion versions of the same bass

like Stanley Clarke and Steve Gadd? - oh yes

Does this belong to anyone on here? [url="http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/01/68684101.html"]http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/01/68684101.html[/url]

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1030056' date='Nov 20 2010, 01:17 AM']I wouldn't like to be in that band if they're playing around Glasgow or west central Scotland. [/quote] my sediments exactly Someone hit the nail on the head earlier. Its much more than just a case of buying and selling like Egay and Ebygumtree. Its a place where you can get to know people, have a laugh, have a debate, get pi**ed. In reality, its everything you'd do in real life. I've yet to go down the pub with a 'chatter' but then that's what the Moffat bassbash is for.

is there such a thing as 'best'? Its all down to what you like and if you think its amazing then I am genuinly happy for you cos its likely that listening to it may very well improve your own playing. That is when you're not changing your avatar every 5 minutes I have deja vu cos what I am about to type next I'm sure I've already posted but - what we hear of all of these virtuosos is the widdly boring stuff on youtube. You never hear the meat and potatoes lines that these musicians play regularly which makes a lot of people think that these guys are widdly frustrated guitarists

I remember gigging one of those 2 Cool 4 School basses from the seller of the same name on Ebay in the US. I only had EB Power Slinkies so I put them on before the gig. When I took the bass out of the bag the neck was like a banana. Amazingly, I was able to adjust the truss rod enough to get it straight again without it trying to appear through the back of the neck I think they're £40 or something like that. this was way before those £52 NU something or other ones on UK Ebay. In fact it was when I was waiting for my gold Warmoth to come from the US If it can be adjusted, it can be gigged.

I start and stop during random parts of songs and often tap my foot on the off beat. I've even been known to do a heel - toe tap as well although that's usually well into a gig when my dogs are barking

The only instance when you may need something else is if your bass is rear routed but you can buy prewired EMG pots with longer shafts if need be.

I've fitted wheels to almost every cab I've owned and never had them fail on me. There's no point in the screw being longer than the thickness of the wood that you are screwing into. Just use the appropriate one for the type of wood and I find the widest, coarsest thread, the better. the downside as pointed out above is that it adds extra weight. I now use a lightweight trolley for all my stuff now. Anything to keep the weight down

If you go to page 3 and look at the picture of the inputs at the right hand side it says Made and designed in the UK. Looks like the entire range is as well.

I'm not even going to try and add up what I've bought, sold or traded since I joined. Its a lot anyway. I love these threads. laughs aplenty. but remember kids a troll is not just for christmas
