I think the difference in the sound is attributed to the fact that the 2x15" is ported and I believe that the 4x12" is sealed. The 1524 is also in a bigger enclosure which I assume affects the sound. The 4x12" has a horn Both great cabs, both very loud but there's something about the 1524 that I prefer. Quite a few diferences - size of enclosure, size of drivers, sealed v ported, horn v no horn.

I'm now keen to sell this since I have now located the missing piece of my rig that I have been searching for. Plenty of people watching the auction but no confirmed offers yet. If you're interested PM me with an offer. I'd prefer the buyer to collect or meet up somewhere. I can post if necessary but it will be quite pricey.

I like the Killers' bass player's tone - especially on Jenny Was a Friend of Mine

I have wheels on both of my cabs and have a stair climbing trolley for the few gigs that would require we to navigate a lot of stairs 65kg is a hell of a weight though, possibly closer to 45kg - that was the weight of my Trace Elliot MkV 4x10" combo. an 8x10" weighs in at around 65kg - you'll know when your lifting one of those cos after you lift it you'll be right over to the chiropractor

I like smoking bananas to open up the doors of creation Just yanking your chain, I've never felt the urge to write anything

[quote name='pete.young' post='730125' date='Jan 30 2010, 10:27 PM']I've just picked my 460 up from Paul Glazebrook who as usual has done an excellent job of sorting the action, polishing the frets and generally setting it up nicely. I'm overjoyed - so playable and just a nice object to have around. The neck pickup makes a rich powerful dark sound with a decent amount of punch, but the signal from the bridge pickup seems weak in comparison. Not sure why this might be, any suggestions welcomed. Here's a shot inside the control cavity, the blend pot is top centre. Is this any help? Here are a couple of pictures, not very good quality but you get the general idea. Mods, if you're reading this please can we have this thread re-stickied? Besides being as Jack said one of the major sources of information on the net for SGC Nanyo basses, it attracts a steady stream of new recruits to the site and has more than 14,500 viewings![/quote] Thats a 465 exactly like the one I used have with the ebony fretboard and paduak top - lovely bass

[quote name='witterth' post='788977' date='Mar 28 2010, 10:58 PM']"learn it yor own way"....pphhwww bit of an excuse really, learn it properly from the record...the "my version" is usually a bit crap (EVEN when its Bill Wyman and the 4 notes requried)can you belive that? getting a gig means you have to do this type of irksome thing [/quote] If you're depping and the band want it learnt as the record then you learn it as the record but if its your own band then what difference does it make? Do you really think that punters will be listening that closely? I rarely play anything as it was done originally unless the bass line is the main part of the song - eg you couldn't improvise Good Times by Chic cos the bassline is the song. Plus I've never had a period in my playing career where I've not been in at least one band and have never been told to learn it like the record so that irksome thing hasn't been an issue. Sorry to go but you really don't know me and take offence at someone telling me that what I am playing is crap.

I believe that Big John's uncle has had it in his loft since new.

If you were to go to glasgow, you'd be as well taking it to the mighty Jimmy Moon. did the best set up ever on a bass of mine

why not learn it your own way? I've never bothered to listen to it to learn it note by note and have been playing it regularly in bands for the past 15 years.

Well this wasn't predicted. Waited for years to get one, got it, loved it only for me to prefer the sound of my Trace 1524 cab. I've only had this a month or so but I'm not going to need it so I've fired it on Ebay. If any forum members are interested then I am happy to do a deal for it on here rather than incur Egay charges [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/Delberthot/m.html?_dmd=1&_in_kw=1&_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1"]http://shop.ebay.co.uk/Delberthot/m.html?_...op=1&_rdc=1[/url] If you're interested then have a read over the auction and PM me. I'm not looking for any trades at this time but may change my mind for the right piece of equipment.

Selling my Riverhead Jupiter bass - When I listen to the demo I did when I was 19 it really makes no sense why I sold it. I've been looking for it ever since. I was really into Nathan East's playing at the time and seeing him with that big white Yamaha TRB6 made me want something similar so I traded it for: White Bass Collection SB305 passive 5 string. One of the best basses I've owned. Really easy to play, light and a great B string. Sold it when I bought my black Stringray 5 string Sonic Blue Status T Bass 5 string that I had defretted - sold it for peanuts, KP if I remember correctly 3 basses out of about 70 isn't bad going. no amp/effects regrets though - every one a gem.

Whereabouts in South West Scotland are you? Does anyone here know if Alan at ACG in Moffat does setups? If its any consolation, we started off Friday Night's set with 'Don't Believe a Word' by Thin Lizzy but I started playing 'Wishing Well' by Free. Don't remember ever doing that before. Whoops.

I would say that your budget would more than cover a more powerful rig if you buy second hand. I picked up a Trace 1524 2x15" last weekend for £95 and used it at Friday's gig - one of the best cabs I've ever played through. I would say one big question that hasn't been asked yet is that will it always be you lifting the rig or will you have help? I am in no way being sexist but it will be a factor when choosing gear. My 4x12" weighs 40kg and the 2x15" must be around the same

Have you tried a Precision?

Well I can honestly say that I had the best sound I've had in a long time. This amp is so powerful and warm - I had the most amazing sound tonight. I've wanted a 2x15" for years so when the chance came up to get one I had to take it - its probably about the same weight as my 4x12" Trace cab but I have wheels on it. 4ohms, 400 watts = plenty of volume. Both amp and cab were ticking over nicely tonight As for using a plectrum - it was like a dirty chainsaw cutting through rusty metal - the dogs sloblock Orange Terror Bass & Trace Elliot 1524 = much enjoyment. So much bottom end and definition

You got some speed man? I too would like to see how to increase my speed with a plectrum. I'm getting better at relaxing but still have a long way to go to decelop a decent technique

Nah, don't like these modern pretenders. :snob: I've never liked the sound or the look of them. Give me a good Precision any day of the week. I am totally in love with mine Oh how times change when I wanted active everything with at least 5 strings, more controls than the Hubble space telescope and and would change the strings once a month. I've just changed mine a few days ago - that should do me until autumn

using mine for the first time with the rock band tonight I'm like a dog with 2 thingies Terror Bass and a Trace 2x15". mwahahaha.

good job we're not on Talkbs - you won't find anything with less than 9 strings on there I jest of course, or do I?

Orange Terror Bass does 500w at 4 or 8ohms

at the end of the day, if they can offer you it at that price whilst still being able to maintain a physical premises, staff to help you and look after you after you walk out of the shop then they will - simple as that. An online store needs a warehouse, computer system and a couple of guys to pick and arrange couriers to deliver items to you (alright there may be more but you get the idea) they don't need to know anything about what they are selling or how to set instruments up. They could pay a guy to sit at home and answer techie questions by email. I'm happy buying online as I generally do my homework but more recently I prefer the situation where I can call the person I am buying my gear from and get it delivered, still sight unseen and slightly more expensive, than just pressing a button and hoping for the best as I know I can pick up the phone if there's a problem.

2 days to go so i thought I'd bump this for anyone who hasn't spotted this yet - not that there's a huge Falkirk contingent anyway. Still trying to decide between taking the 4x12" or the 2x15". One is 8ohms and the other's 4 so I can't take both There's free entry if you say the secret code phrase "drop your trousers Sir Richard I cannot wait any longer". Ok there's free entry anyway but it would be funny if someone actually did this
