  1. [quote name='obbm' timestamp='1432200127' post='2779041'] Not according to my collection of Trace brochures Martin. They are both shown as being 2-channel 300-watt + 300-watt. [/quote] Oh, fair enough. I was only aware of the mono 7-band version
  2. [quote name='Francis Pettifer' timestamp='1432158151' post='2778806'] The ah600 features 2 300 watt power amps in one case. Each amp will deliver 300watts rms into a 4 ohm load.. Under no circumstances should the 2 amplifier outputs be connected together. Each output is designed to drive an individual speaker enclosure. It is quite feasible for each output to easily drive 2 8 ohm cabinets wired in parallel, hence 4 ohms to each channel. Therefore you can drive up to 4! 8 ohm speakers in this way. If you activate the built in electronic crossover, the left hand Chanel drives the low frequency cabs, and the right hand channel drives the higher frequency cabs. Do this, and your on stage sound will be fantastic. I've owned one since 1993, and they are a totally brilliant amp, particularly if fronted by the gp12smx per amp. [/quote] That's the 12 band head - the OP has the 7 band head which is a mono 600W head.
  3. Congratulations! (you git )
  4. I want a bass with the Uber pickups now Very nice bass Cameron, welcome to the ACG club
  5. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1431880469' post='2775838'] Well they're playing a proper team, what do they expect? [/quote] I was hoping for a repeat of the FA Cup match result :'( Edit - there's still hope.....
  6. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1431879374' post='2775819'] What's up with everyone today? [/quote] Arsenal are losing, it's upsetting people
  7. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1431874926' post='2775763'] I hear Merton gently waking from his snooze......... [/quote] No you don't, I'm just snoring loudly
  8. [quote name='Freddie75' timestamp='1431702877' post='2774150'] Good point, can't see that they do. To add 2 8ohm drivers making the cab 4ohm I'm assuming would require some mods to the bracing of the cab? Thanks Freddie [/quote] Why would an impedance change require bracing modification?
  9. Welcome! I'm from up the road in Redhill
  10. [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1431541365' post='2772446'] Picking this up on Friday. Excited doesn't cut it. [/quote] Wohoooo!
  11. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1431463543' post='2771705'] It's a brilliant amp. Very clear and articulate, but still with a lovely plummy bottom. [/quote] Don't say that. I have neither the talent, gigs or money to warrant one but I WANT one.
  12. [quote name='Urban Lions' timestamp='1431329015' post='2769921'] Merton it says on the back of the cab that each set of speakers are 4ohms. I have a photo of the set up how do I post on here? [/quote] If each set of speakers is 4 ohm then the can isn't 4 ohm total... See http://basschat.co.uk/topic/169865-trace-elliot-bfc-1000w-bass-cab-for-sale/ Same plate on yours I assume? If so then check OBBM's wiring diagram on your thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/259847-advice-needed-on-how-to-power-a-trace-elliot-bfc-please/page__fromsearch__1 because it explains all
  13. Def Leppard - Release Me, B side to Animal Sung by their (then) guitar tech (now tour manager). So good that, legend has it, the Greeks flipped A and B side and it went to number one. It is hilarious, you need to wait for the key change: https://youtu.be/iB6xYQOPnkY
  14. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1431250502' post='2769118'] I probably wouldn't myself... I'd set it at half, unless it was really obvious that that level was too low. But that is a general position I'd take...rather than it being this model specific. [/quote] Yup, this.
  15. The BFC in standard wiring isn't "just" 4 ohm. It's split into stereo tops (two 2x10s) and a single 15 bottom, as per OBBM's post in your other thread. Unless it's been rewired
  16. Ok so that's a single 600W stage, you can run one 4 ohm cab, or one or two 8 ohm cabs. Do not run two 4 ohm cabs because the amp will fry. As for your BFC, if it's been rewired to 4 ohm then you're fine but you'll need to check this as per OBBM's comments in you other thread
  17. I think they are custom RoqSolid covers with the upgrades like padding and a Barefaced logo.
  18. What about a GK MB Fusion? Lots of volume, nice and warm and dirty if you want from the preamp valves, headphone socket...
  19. Urban Lions - you say this is pre-Gibson, but is this the AH600-12 SMX or AH600-7 SM amp? If the 12-band EQ SMX range I *think* it's 2x 300W amps, each capable of a 4 ohm min load. If it's the 7-band SM range it's one 600W amp, capable of 4 ohms min.
  20. That would suggest there's something in this science/engineering then I suspect (in that we know the BF is well engineered and as I understand it the Eden 410 is as good an engineered 410 as you'll get; I'm casting aspersions on the TC cab here a little of course......)
  21. No idea I'm afraid! Conversely on the pro side, Phil Mulford and I exchanged views on the BF Super Compact a few months back and Phil very much didn't like it, and said he much prefers 10s and 15s to 12s and this cab was no different in changing his view that 12s had too much gnarly mids for his taste
