Delberthot

i remember doing a gig in Tain, up the north of Scotland. To get into the gig, you had to go down some steep steps into the cellar. I rmember seeing my guitarist falling into the cellar - with my brand new Trace 4x10" in hand to break his fall. Luckily there was hardly a mark on the cab.

Its not too bad. About 40kg. I had to lift it up 3 flights of stairs a few weeks ago and it wasn't too bad. It does help that it has big wheels cos it more or less goes over most surfaces, although obviously not stairs.

no idea but I really like that. :wub: (first time I've used that emoticon)

Apparently DR use a different type of coating to what they originally used. I remember having a set of Rotosound Spacer strings in about 1993 which were I think the first black coated strings available - they quickly, over the space of a few weeks, went from black to grey and dead as a dead thing. Surprisingly they never took off

I am considering selling my cab. Its one of the carpet covered square 2x15" ones that were built to go with the much revered V-type valve heads. As far as I can tell it is sealed, the bottom end it produces would suggest that anyway. The grill isn't visible as it is covered in a grill cloth slightly lighter green than the carpet so it looks good and will take something hitting it as it still has the proper Trace metal grill behind it. Condition, I reckon would probably be 9/10 and that's being strict. not 9/10 given the age but I've honestly seen cabs in shops in worse nick than this. Until last year it had lived in a proper full flight case that weighted as much as the cab itself so I sold that and bought one of those waterproof ones from Roqsolid or somewhere like that in black with the green piping. It is also fitted with 4 heavy duty casters, with the front 2 having locks on them. Now I'm pretty savvy when it comes to gear but I don't recall ever seeing another one of these 2x15"s and certainly nothing similar in such good condition so for the first time I'm asking for some help to see about what sort of price I might get for this.

Its rated at 500w @ 8ohms, the amp I am using with it is a GK700RB II and trust me it does not need another cab to get it down to 4 ohms to be heard in a big pub wth no PA support.

That's the sound I am hearing right now. First time since I began using them 2 or 3 years ago. Funny thing is that when I use them, i generally only need to adjust the volume for the venue and maybe a wee tweak on the EQ but nothing mutch. Tonight I found myself constantly turning round at every opportunity during the first half dozen songs to adjust stuff. Well I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight - goodbye whatever frequency I can hear right now, I'll never hear thee again.

yes tried and found guilty or being a pug ugly POS

[url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=dr+bass+neon"]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=dr+bass+neon[/url] looks like they'll be the same or maybe ever slightly cheaper than the colour coated ones

explains my previous post [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9754800"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9754800[/url] looks like they're not released yet

just been on Stringbusters - looks like Evergreen and Hot Pink have been discontinued in the colour coated ones

Sold! Where do I buy them? I like anything garish and over the top

Never tried them but just found this: [url="http://www.pharosparcel.com/QuoteAndBook/QuoteMe"]http://www.pharosparcel.com/QuoteAndBook/QuoteMe[/url] £26.39 to deliver my beast of a Trace 2x15" cab (80x80x40, 46kg) - don't really come much bigger unless its a 6 or 8x10"

I really don't know why they bother with these things - its all personal taste Like the guitarist ones, its normally Hendrix. Now I don't particularly like Hendrix. I understand how he influenced so many guitarists but I don't like his playing - too scratchy wah wah, do you want to start actually playing something now? Probably annoyed many hendrix fans but i don't care because that is my opinion. Put a poll on here as to what the best amp is just now and I'd bet the TC Rebelhead would come in first with the Markbass head in at 2. Never played either, don't need to cos I'm sorted with my out of fashion heavy GK 700RB II. I think I've made my point

If you PM Thornybank I'm sure he still has a Trace and a Peavey 2x15"

Aye, they managed to get it sorted to have it picked up on Monday. Ah well, what's next?

Bass arrived yesterday dirty, scratched and as soon as i tried to adjust the bridge, one of the inserts started coming out. Needless to say the offer of £20 discount wasn't enough as this was clearly the floor model so its going back. Bugger, its really nice as well and I ain't going to be able to find another one.

While I have no doubt that this is likely to be a very well made bass having owned a few of the VM Jazzes, I don't get it. The Fender version has series/parallel switching, active EQ etc whereas this is merely another PJ bass. If Fender had designed this to have Squier produce a cheaper version of the Jaguar with active EQ etc then I could see this being a great bass but as it is, I don't see it adding anything. I'm not normally negative when it comes to these things, it has hotter pickups than standard but that's something that could be changed anyway.
