Merton

I like the first of those

I use a Hartke head with a Trace Elliot cab and it sounds awesome:

Love that J - reminds me of mine (being all black, and all ) but love the individuality and thought you've put into it. Like the 6er too, even if I'd never be able to play it well

Woooo! Bet you *really* can't wait any longer to get that in your mitts (as if not seeing the pic would have made the slightest difference to you)! Lovely

[quote name='urb' post='393260' date='Jan 27 2009, 10:54 PM']The SE bash was a model of organisation sir ... [/quote] We have ideas about how to make it better next time I'm up for a National Bash, depends when it is (MiniMert and all) but definitely time for another one, ooh yes.

[quote name='johnnylager' post='366243' date='Dec 30 2008, 02:23 PM']And possibly why Merton likens it to his V-Type...[/quote] Only just caught this thread somehow Yes, it is. The V-Type preamp and the LH preamp are essentially the same, but the V-Type has an extra valve for the providing overdrivey sonic lushness. Unsurprising then, that so far I'm not missing the V-Type, but it has only been 2 days...

Now that is gorgeous! Hope it sounds and plays as good as it looks

Without accurate measuring facilities I couldn't say, but it seems to be pretty loud vs my 4x8 V-Type cab, which I have always found a very pokey little beast. I'm tempted by another 1518 or a 1518c to sit atop this. Or maybe a 1028H. I really like the look of the 1015H too

[quote name='Delberthot' post='392724' date='Jan 27 2009, 01:43 PM']I'm actually tempted by the new Trace Elliot stuff as well. A bit more weight wise than what i was originally looking for but that's what casters are for![/quote] I've just got this: It's sooo much lighter than the old Trace gear, I was shocked when I first picked it up. Still a ceramic magnet but the cab is just effortlessly light in comparison to the old f**k-heavy Trace gear (still not bareface[b]dB[/b]ass light of course...) Plus the sound is better (IMO) too. Deeper, fuller, less "barky" but very in-you-face still. I like muchly!

Yup, Tom is a top fella. Had a couple of mini chats with him over at TB, he comes across as a good guy with a lot of bass gear!!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='392524' date='Jan 27 2009, 10:57 AM']I like that idea. Trouble is, Alex has three cab models at the moment (with more on the way), and each one's got a different grille size. To cut costs, it might be an idea to fix on a logo size that can be applied to every grille equally effectively. It's a compromise, but if it helps to keep costs down, that could be a very good thing. I love the logo, but there's something that grates with me about the look of the "subtitle". Maybe something like this would work better: [attachment=19263:logo_edited.jpg] (Apologies to deksawyer for messing with your work!)[/quote] Good point - a one-size-fits-all is so much more cost effective. And to a degree I prefer your subtitle too...

[quote name='alexclaber' post='392498' date='Jan 27 2009, 10:32 AM']New logo design courtesy of deksawyer: The question is how big should the badge be? Alex[/quote] V nice! I'd say a third the width of the grille.

I know what it is, and have seen the pics already Think Westfield but half the price

[quote name='crez5150' post='391675' date='Jan 26 2009, 01:02 PM']I would but we are already booked..... Please bear us in mind for the future though Nick.[/quote] Same here But have a good one whoever does do it!

[quote name='basswesty' post='391717' date='Jan 26 2009, 01:28 PM']And don't ignore BC's own secret weapon, Barefacedbass. Interesting thanks. Does anyone on here own a Barefaced? I would be interested to hear their comments.[/quote] Don't own one but currently have the prototype Big One in my possession. It's f-ing awesome. As is the Compact, which I think, as his website says, is the best 1x15 I've heard bar none

[quote name='tombboy' post='391678' date='Jan 26 2009, 01:05 PM']In your opinion of course! My brother has a Mackie Fusion system... 14k with a 7k foldback system. NEVER given him an ounce of trouble. Require a small army to shift though. Active systems are great but if one amp blows, you're pretty f***ed. If you do get and active, make sure you can bypass the internal amps and bring a rack of amps... just in case (sort of defeats the object really!). Personally, I've got a HK Audio ELIAS system which currently has a fried PCB on one of the amps. Just haven't got round to ordering the new board yet. However, when fully functional, it's a great PA. Crystal clear and really easy to shift about. They come up know and again on the bay, usually for around £1k for the older model.[/quote] +1 The only issue we've had with Mackie is when someone stuck a pole through the sub's cone....

Prob gonna keep the 4x8 now - had a good chat about it with Nic, and Tinman and Mrs Tinman both said I should keep it, so f**k it. I'll just be broke Also got a 2007 Trace 1518 now, it's the best 1x15 cab of theirs I've heard. And it's light

Yum yum, that's what I think

Matt Matt Matt Matt Matt.... Do you need any more Trace gear? Do you? Hmmm? Ahem. Top bloke yet again! The Trace badge will be in the post in an hour
