    [quote name='benzies123' post='507810' date='Jun 7 2009, 10:25 PM']I bet i'm gonna really kick myself in a few days for not buying yo 1x15 . Dang![/quote] Sorry dude! There's one on ebay at the mo, tho I think the seller is a little overoptimistic with his pricing...
  3. Merton
    Cheers Martin! 1x15 is now sold pending the usual too

    Last night's gig: awesome. Simple as that. My pedalboard died 3 songs into the first set so I had to run the rest of that set without PA support; the LH500 and Trace 1x15 didn't bat an eyelid as I cranked the level. It deafened everything onstage but I quite liked that Pedalboard sorted for the 2nd set and everything was rosy. Bride and groom loved it, some lovely looking young ladies and lovely cake

Redhill lies directly between Harrow & Newhaven & I'll have a kW going through a Big One soon enough. Hehe.[/quote] [quote name='jonthebass' post='506363' date='Jun 5 2009, 02:08 PM'] [/quote] Best thing that could happen to Redhill IMO

    [quote name='Trace_n_bass' post='505749' date='Jun 4 2009, 07:32 PM']The 4x8 (4808) was originally manufactured as the extension cab to the 4808 V-type 4x8 combo in their 1996 - 1999 range. The July 1996 lists the price of these as £425, so get yourselves a bargain folks (and save on a lifetimes chiropractor fees!) :-)[/quote] Cheers [quote name='GreeneKing' post='505752' date='Jun 4 2009, 07:36 PM']If only that 15 were closer Not visiting the Lakes anytime soon I suppose [/quote] I'm not, but my uncle and aunt who live on Kendal Green are coming down in two weeks in their big people carrier....
  9. Merton
    Right, the 4x8 didn't sell even for the bargain starting price of £185. Anyone on here can have it with the 2 spare drivers for £200+ shipping

I want. My Retroactive was almost a white with tort plate. Sexy

    [quote name='jonkilleen' post='502537' date='May 31 2009, 08:36 PM']800 Watts RMS, 8 Ohms.[/quote] Doubt it's 800W unless you've changed the drivers - looks like a 320W early 90s cab to me rather than the 2006+ spec you've copied from the Trace website Nice cabs tho, good luck EDIT: not wishing to ruin your sell, just sayin' the details aren't quite right. No offence intended

    Sunday evening bump - the 4x8 cab has 2 days left on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trace-Elliot-4x8-V-Type-extension-cab-2-spare-drivers_W0QQitemZ290320047357QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item43986c5cfd&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50"]ebay[/url] and no bids, so a chance to get it cheaper than it's advertised on here. Needs to go!

    Nice one Mikey! How's the Hartke?

    Tech, did you buy the head from Mr Pablo? If so, a few things to note, coz it was mine before that! It's a Trace AH300-12, not the SMX preamp but the slightly revised GP12X preamp. (The only differences being the slightly revised front panel including EL panel and a revised compressor circuit). I bought the amp 2nd hand from Andertons in 2000, it is a proper AH300 but the original EL panel broke and GM Audio only had panels for the combo left, so i took one of those to make it work The tube is a Sylvania which I put in there for more grit than the stock Sovtek (unless you or Rob changed it?). Cracking amp, miss it muchly, and someone will get a bargain at that price

    Pretty sure the Trace fans are always on, mine certainly always were...

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='498094' date='May 26 2009, 04:30 PM']On the other hand I still can't forget the covers band I saw at a ball a few years ago. I'm sure they were talented individuals at something but the rhythm section's talents clearly lay somewhere other than in rhythm! Alex[/quote] That sounds like my band

    It's probably still going to be here! Will be going on ebay tonight for a week but I will close the auction if you decide you do want it

    [quote name='Mikey R' post='497368' date='May 25 2009, 04:36 PM']When did you send them? Ive not recieved anything...? [/quote] Months ago, before Christmas Bloody post!

    [quote name='Mikey R' post='497159' date='May 25 2009, 11:11 AM']Ha, nows the tricky part. I have no idea what aspect of the construction makes it sound like that! It could be any of these: * The overwide, overthick neck; * The strange choice of neck material; * Placement of pickups; * Choice of pickups (cheapo ebay); * The coice of (very heavy and hard) body material; * New strings? Or any of a number of other factors I havent even thought of? But more importantly, how do I recreate a similar souding bass with the changes to specs and materials we are planning? Hmm. Suppose its all guesswork till after its finished![/quote] Indeed, I was thinking the same thing immediately after I posted. Are the strings the Status ones I sent up to you? I guess all your points above, save for the picukup placement, will change on the basses you build for me and you after this one (though even the PUps will move by a few mm coz of their different dimensions...) Hmmm. Guesswork is what makes this fun
