[quote name='joe_bass' post='255553' date='Aug 5 2008, 04:43 PM']Insurance will pay out the value of the item for today's price so if you've valued it based on that then don't worry. If you value things at stupid prices then you would get marked as possibly fraudulent. When I worked in home insurance claims a lot of people would be wanting the £2000 that they paid 10 years ago for the tv that now costs £100.[/quote] That's cool then, phew

[quote name='clauster' post='255523' date='Aug 5 2008, 04:17 PM']CAS (cash acquisition syndrome)[/quote] This is something I currently have too, to the extent I'm trying to figure out what to [i]sell[/i]

I'd echo Stingrayfan's suggestion - go 2nd hand. You can get a more powerful combo so if the time comes for gigging you won't need to upgrade Ashdown MAG combos? Loads of Trace gear would fall into your price range. Peavey...
-
Ped, with brand new things like my Retroactive I valued it at exactly what I paid. With 2nd hand things I either value at what I paid or what the current market value is if I got a bargain! EDIT: that often means I've valued things at a higher price than I paid. Does that constitue insurance fraud?
-
I tend to get all flustered, play anything that falls under my fingers and hope no-one notices :blush: Hoping to get some lessons to sort me out, innit

Blue Aran are very good. Appian Acoustics do Celestion and Frank is a good bloke to natter to!
-
My insurance company has all the serial numbers, as do I. (Except the ones on the Trace gear where the pen has rubbed off )

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='255134' date='Aug 5 2008, 10:09 AM']I nearly managed to persuade him to hook up a webcam and beam live pics out! That would have been a bit of a hoot. [/quote] When I see him after his holiday I will pay him to do exactly that

Welcome! Didn't even realsie Gary Crockett had left JTQ... Do you cross paths with Phil Mulford much?

[quote name='Catalin' post='254776' date='Aug 4 2008, 06:52 PM']So in conclusion the lower tubes are preamp and the highrt tubes are input gain stage of the power amp ? Guys can you tell me in what year was made this amp ? Here is the serial number: T0105.0144 Model: VTYPE-H0 It's made in '95-'98 ?[/quote] Might be easier to ask Trace Elliot themselves, there was a dude who used to know the TE serial number system but he's disappeared off the forum a long time ago. Sorry I can't be more use!
-
You know I'd love to, but I'm more likely to be selling than buying in the next few months

[quote name='ped' post='254497' date='Aug 4 2008, 03:11 PM']I might have to sell my V4 soon. Moving house the other day really highlighted how much I don't use it.[/quote] Don't say that out loud to me agin. Please. I will be castrated if I even consider it!
-
Have a look [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/inst/V-Type.pdf"]HERE[/url] Not sure what the frequencies are but I think they're around 100Hz (bass), 400Hz (mid) or 1kHz (mid shift in) and 5kHz (treble).

[quote name='marcus bell' post='249304' date='Jul 28 2008, 01:42 AM']and have a range of basses,[/quote] Do you have as many as: [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='253965' date='Aug 3 2008, 10:16 PM']Nick O' Modest[/quote] ?
-
Circa 1995-1998 the V-Types had 2 pramp valves as per Catalin's and my amps. 1998/99 Trace brought out the revised V-Type range which was the new V4 head and combos and the V8, boht of which have far more complex valve preamps which are entirely different beasties from the Bassman-inspired earlier range. EDIT: both early and late ranges had a V4 head, hence the confusion which Ped and OBBM were alluding to!

[quote name='clauster' post='254409' date='Aug 4 2008, 02:07 PM']Cheers Mert! I think I have GAS for a single P, passive, headless, with black hardware and walnut body Smartbass![/quote] Go on, you know you want to!

[quote name='voxpop' post='253382' date='Aug 2 2008, 04:40 PM']Hi , How many units is it? Thanks[/quote] Hello! No idea - it doesn't have a rack in it. I guess you could fit one and fit 2 or 3 units in. My TE head was 2U high but that excluded the wooden sleeve, so I reckon 3U is a good bet. [quote name='overwater#1' post='253384' date='Aug 2 2008, 04:42 PM']Hey Mert! Will it take my AH400SMX, with the UV? I can't remember whether yours had UV in it? If it will fit.. whack it in the post now!! [/quote] Sadly I doubt it will fit, the head I had was a fair bit smaller than your 400SMX. Sorry dude!
