Mert and the SE Bash crew

Have persuaded MikeyR to come down from York again, hooray

Raffle is with me, please PM your donations. Will get a thread going over t'weekend

Not a numpty, you just didn't know, and I am a sad git who did

If you can find one an it was a Celestion TruVox in there IIRC, some places still have NOS of these...

IMHO, if you like the Commando sound, you should buy this: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=131252"]Trace V-Type 1x15 combo[/url]

[quote name='dc2009' post='1303123' date='Jul 14 2011, 01:27 AM']Never remember what series these are but they're fairly common on the bay and do the job well: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trace-Elliot-GP7SM-300-Bass-Pre-Amp-Head-Unit-/170666491305?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item27bc83fda9"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trace-Elliot-GP7SM-3...=item27bc83fda9[/url] a beaten up cab currently at £2 (pickup only)[/quote] The clue is in the title- it's an SM series, the one which came out after Series 6 Some say the SM / SMX range were the peak, others say it tailed off after Series 6.

[quote name='chrisd24' post='1302277' date='Jul 13 2011, 01:12 PM']Hi Merton, Saw your for sale thread on that amp,think I'm about 2 years late to see if its still for sale! Did you ever play on the 15 version for comparison?[/quote] I owned both 1x15 and 4x8 combos 15 was louder and puncture, 4x8 smoother and a lot heavier

The 4x8 combo is a beast. I used to own one. About 42kg IIRC, I put castors on it... 2 vales in the pre, solid state power amp. Will sound similar to the Commando coz of the preamp in the Commando basically being a solid state (FET) version of the valve pre in the 4x8. HTH

No prob The Compact is an awesome cab, my favourite 1x15 by some way. Might even be worth using the famous Barefaced month money back guarantee?

Dave, Whereabouts in SE London are you? Do you want to try a Vintage? I know it's a bit bigger and probabbly overkill but can give you a very good idea what TWO compacts sounds like Mert

A Streamline 5? Ooh yes please!

I'll be there for a short time and will be helping organise I hope! 01.

Excellent service I thought

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='1284664' date='Jun 27 2011, 09:38 PM']The cab and driver must be matched to work well. With older Edens when they made their own drivers you really needed to use Eden replacements. They now use Eminence, so there's probably nothing to be gained by swapping them. As far as what Ampeg uses, they bear no resemblance to either the BP102 or B102. The B810 is a direct replacement, but if you don't have a sealed cab you won't get Ampeg tone. And the cab is only half the equation. It takes an Ampeg head as well.[/quote] Sorry for going OT here but when did Eden stop making their own drivers? Was it around the time of the US Music takover or when David left?
