stingrayfan Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) What you got then? I'm talking old school green break-your-back stuff like this bad boy: And this, my 1984 1110 combo. Serial no. 002. So old that it has toggle switches like a 60s car. Sounds great though: Edited August 23, 2008 by stingrayfan Quote

budget bassist Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I want a trace elliot rig i just want a 7 band graphic... *sigh* and of course that trace elliot tone Quote
Stingray5 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Maybe not entirely the usual configuration bass rig, regarding the combo and extension speaker, though I do vary whether I have the combo on top or bottom depending on venue etc. I know the 15" speaker traditionally should be at the bottom but I prefer the controls at the top. Besides, as it is, the sound is pretty awesome either way.

JimH Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) My old, early 80's 1110/GP7 Mk V combo, originally black vinyl, recovered by me in slightly newer old stock green carpet.... (Now sold) Edited August 23, 2008 by JimH Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 Nice... I'm guessing you may have one or two Level 42 albums in the house. Quote

beerdragon Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 This is mine. i have an HA300. Not the one in the pic. i have been told they are likely not TE. I have changed the speakers for some celestions and through my Trace amp it sound awesome. [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] Quote
Merton Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 [quote name='stingrayfan' post='268031' date='Aug 22 2008, 06:03 PM'][/quote] Awesome! Here's my V-Type lot. (sold the 1x15 last month, yet to build its replacement which will be almost the same size as the 4x8 cab...) [attachment=12607:DSC00638.JPG] Quote
Deep Thought Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Oooh, me, me! 1998 7215 SMC 300 watt 1X15 combo (plus Hartke transporter 4X10 extension cab). Does the trick for me very nicely. Sure I'd like a more expensive rig, but this is perfectly adequate. I also find it quite pleasantly compact, and not excessively heavy, but then I'm just hard. Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Don't know much about those V-types. How does it sound against a drummer? Edited August 25, 2008 by stingrayfan Quote

How does it sound against a drummer?[/quote] Itd stick him to the wall if i wanted it too! Trace's voicing have always made them "loud" amps, Let alone this voicing with an all tube layout. Tastey.

stingrayfan Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Bet that 2x10 combo sounds great. Edited August 25, 2008 by stingrayfan Quote

steve-soar Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 [quote name='ste_m3' post='268993' date='Aug 24 2008, 06:24 PM'](Better Pics to Follow!) Yes mate. [/quote]Hi Steve that's lovely. Is that a 15" with a horn/tweeter? So, that would be a 200 watt valve amp in there? Wonder what it would sound like with an extension cab. Better pics please. Quote
MythSte Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 15 with horn indeed! and there be 200 watts worth of valves! An extension cab is DEFINATELY necessary, no matter what guitarists/drummer/singer/synthists/girlfriends tell me. Quote
Kiwi Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 oh blimey another one I can contribute to... I might try and get DrPepperUK back and see if he can post some of his amps. I believe he's still got a hexavalve... Quote
