[quote name='alexclaber' post='237396' date='Jul 11 2008, 03:42 PM']It really scares me that a man with such a large bunch of vegetables could be asking this question! You can use any power ouput amp with any power handling cab. If any of these combinations makes bad sounds then turn down and/or stop cranking the bass EQ excessively or damage may occur. Simple.

This is the simple answer to almost every amp/cab power handling question.[/quote] [quote name='bass_ferret' post='237430' date='Jul 11 2008, 04:26 PM']I share your pain[/quote] Why don't we change the Amps and Cabs forum name to [b]You can use any power ouput amp with any power handling cab.

Top chap! Hamster sold my friend (vi me!) a 5 string Aria and it was all good and a pleasure! Cheers dude, see you on Sept 27th

[quote name='mr pablo' post='232553' date='Jul 4 2008, 11:37 AM'] trace elliot 2103h cab with upgraded speakers (emminence beta 10's i think? Merton will know cause its his old cab ) so its 500w @8ohms. Rob[/quote] Certainly are Eminence Beta10s, much preferred them to the stock Celestion-made Trace speakers [quote name='JimH' post='235846' date='Jul 9 2008, 04:25 PM'][/quote] Love the rig and the basses

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='235156' date='Jul 8 2008, 06:15 PM']Give them a call or write them a nice letter - they still use the same ones on the new models.[/quote] Cunning plan, didn't realise they were the same caps thesedays. I'm sure they'll send one to you

This has come up before and I can't remember if anyone could suggest anything other than the British Audio Service website: [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com"]here[/url] Trouble is there's a min $15.00 order...

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='235040' date='Jul 8 2008, 03:52 PM']Bear in mind Ashdown's reputation for reliability isn't much better than Behringer.[/quote] For their MAG amplifiers yes, for a while it was bad but not for their cabs (unless I've been hiding under a bigger rock than I thought? )

If you can buy something second hand on here instead, you'll get more for your money

Easy: Status Retroactive Bass with Status Hotwires -> either of my Trace V-Type rigs. Yum Currently the bass is strung with DR Black Beauties and it's still damn fine, but I think I prefer the Hotwires that were originally on it

[quote name='coasterbass' post='232537' date='Jul 4 2008, 11:25 AM']Bizarrely I can report that the load in/out situation for the Travelodge is pretty good, as we actually played a wedding gig there last year [/quote] Travelodge? This is at the Holiday Inn

Yes there is a safety cut out for thermal and short circuit I believe. Same thing happened on my V-Type 4x8 combo (probably the same power amp board), switched it back on a few minutes later and it was fine.

[quote name='peted' post='232067' date='Jul 3 2008, 03:28 PM']Can I ask what the parking situation will be like? How far between the car park and the booked rooms? Do we have any stairs to contend with? Thank you.[/quote] Parking should be fine - 220 spaces Distacne between car park and rooms? No idea, sorry. It's on 3 floors so don't know where hte function rooms are but for accessibility the MUST have lifts if necessary!

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='231939' date='Jul 3 2008, 01:03 PM']The man that made my basses started importing EBS gear because he found it was the best for what you are trying to do - not a cheap option though.[/quote] I guess that's why Status sound so good with TE gear, as Rob still has a Mk4 or 5 4x10 combo he uses to test everything

[quote name='johnnylager' post='231745' date='Jul 3 2008, 07:39 AM']I must admit when i first read this post, I thought the band Extreme were reforming for Reading Festival. Thank Christ they're not, eh?[/quote] But they are reforming for a new album and tour

Dude, was just trying to help There's no link to your music, have absolutley NO IDEA who you are or what you play!! Lighten up EDIT: rjb - I suppose I should learn to read between the lines

Having bumped in bassbloke at Chessington World of Adventures (yep!) on Saturday he said he was hoping to come along, but you may wish he confirm himself

Some indication of what you think "Great Style" is would be helpful, plus maybes a link to some music coz it ain't clear what you play? Cheers!

[quote name='Jase' post='231327' date='Jul 2 2008, 01:58 PM']Are they the Schaller JBX type? Just had a quick look, I like the adjustable pole option, like Dimarzio.[/quote] To be honest, no idea. I bought them in 1997 or so... They don't have adjustable polepieces tho and look more like the JB6 pickups with the chunky polepieces. But they aren't humbuckers. Argh. Maybe I've jsut confused the matter - get Wizards!!

I've always been astounded at the enormous volume I get out of the Schallers in my J copy. It is a passive bass which has a hotter output than all my active basses excpet my fretless Groove... Not as commonly named as a choice PUP but bloody loud!

Steve, that is gorgeous!

[quote name='coasterbass' post='230423' date='Jul 1 2008, 11:55 AM']Traitor !!! [/quote] Aye! I've been told I'm actually, really, right handed as I do everything right handed except write. I'm an oddball

[quote name='coasterbass' post='230381' date='Jul 1 2008, 11:06 AM']Am I going to be the only left handed person there ? So many pretty things to play but my hands are all back-to-front[/quote] [quote name='s_u_y_*' post='230401' date='Jul 1 2008, 11:25 AM']1 in 10 people are left handed, so statistically speaking there's bound to be at least another one in that list. [/quote] I'm left handed But I play right handed.

Still waiting on Phil Mulford, will try calling him later. I'll bring the Groove as well Nik
