A tip for the top! BUY trace! Quote
Count Bassie Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) [quote name='tippbass' post='1114586' date='Feb 3 2011, 04:43 PM']OOOOOO !!! Nice Looks in great condition too, I must post a couple of pics of my 2 'Green Machines'... Oh Sorry 3 !! now following last weekends purchase from a fellow BassChat'r AH400smx Interestingly enough you seem to set a simular shape on the graphic to myself .... what bass are you using most of the time ?[/quote] Heh, thanks. I'm pretty pumped to have it- I walked in the house tonight, having brought the young'uns back from choir rehearsal and looked at it sitting there set up in the basement. I actually regarded the thing sitting there, dormant. I felt glad to have it- sort of quietly psyched... I never do that. But I don't think it represents an imbalance... I use an eq shape more or less like that generally, it changes a bit from room to room, like you do probably... I've been using a MIM Fender Jazz strung with LaBella FL760s (I think that's the number). Also, until now because it's going away, a Yamaha BB400. The Jazz especially, through the SMX and both cabs, really likes that setting. My Hamer Cruisebass is getting back into action now after having come through a mod episode with me ([i]thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=113142"]here.[/url] I have to warn you though, it has been borderline upsetting to some people! But man I dig it- I could swap out the Jazz for an Epi EB-3 now, if I found a nice one... but you sort of have to keep a Fender around[/i]). The Cruise has got an old DiMarzio PJ jig, with an Artec SE-2A preamp on-board. It's strung with Rotosound Tru-Bass strings, and it's a lot different than the Jazz. More 'boxy' and lo-mids heavy, kind of old-timey Geezer Butler. Dark with some bark, which I like. I might go get some D'Addario Half-Rounds and try those. I used to use them all the time with the EB-0 I had as a kid, and it was a nice combo. Anyhow, sorry to digress! Mostly used the Jazz with that eq so far. Works nice.

Count Bassie Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I'll stop it after this one! But this is a shot a little more worthy of a thread entitled "____ Porn Thread": Thanks for putting up with it. Oh, and that's the Hamer I modded up top. Still no lacquer... it'll show up when I can do it. Quote

Long story with that cab ..... but in short ...I owned it for about 13 or 14 years other amps and cabs came and went but this one just stayed...until I had a bit of a head rush after I bought the Mark 4x10 and sold it It had been gone from me for about 18 months and a couple of weeks back I managed to track it down and buy it back for 200euro.... IT'S NOT GOING AGAIN !!! The 10's kinda suit what I'm playing at the moment so the Mark will stay until I find a nice 1048, I could have had one off a fellow BC member the other week along with a ah400smx head .....just to expensive to post a cab tho .... one day we'll get one !!...........Yellow kinda clashes with Green !!

thatgrantboy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'll get it on this then! Be great if someone could possibly help identify how old both of these are... GP1115 combo - GP11 pre into a 15" speaker. Originally looked like this: But due to how stupidly heavy and obtusely large it was, not to mentioned how beaten up it was, I made a new house for it myself, like so.. And this is mine too, which I'm trying to sell! Quote

How does it sound, that small cab? Quote
thatgrantboy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Speakers aren't new nope, all original The small combo is a beaut, sounds lovely, but just not powerful enough for me now. The green one doesn't cut through much =/ I think that may be to do with the volume of the new cab, which may've gone tits up and thus out of 'tune'. Sucks a bit really, but its a nice amp otherwise!

I've had a lot of 'live and learn' episodes, myself. Looks nice, at least! Quote
thatgrantboy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Looks lovely yep! However, the chopping it down is somewhat regretful. I've got an empty 15" cab coming from another BCer to drop the speaker in, and already have a rack unit for the head part, so I'll see how it goes! Quote

sambassman Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 [quote name='overwater#1' post='321174' date='Nov 3 2008, 06:38 PM']Ahh finally had some time to get a new pic of the Tracey gear! I love the older Trace Elliot gear, something about it just seems fantastic and really attractive! Awesome sound, tone, solid, reliable, good looking....everything, superb gear!! So yeah.. theres.... -AH400SMX head (Best head i've tried!) -1048 cab -1153 cab -MKV GP11 head (which i'm doing some repair work on, belonged to a very kind fellow BC'er) -Very early GP11 1x15 combo -Rare V-type 5001 (4x8) combo (latest edition to the line-up...awesome combo!) Enjoy!! [/quote] i have an AH400SMX! your right, what an awesome head! a real work horse haha Quote

Muziekschuur Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I own a Trace Elliot 1008C. Anyone know about it? It's a 250AH head in a 8x10 enclosure..... Unfortunately I only have the head wich was sawn off. If anyone has a fully working 1008C I'd love to see some images so I could recreate that enclosure again.... Quote
markinson Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Here is mine AH300-7. Very powerfull amp. I own it since christmast and I am still have to tame it. EDIT: Cabs added. Early TRACE ELLIOT 1518 goes really deep. It handles highs when needed also. It is a heavy cab, but if want to go low, that's the way. WARWICK WCA 211 PRO suits it pretty good, but I'm looking fordward to match it with a TE 2x10 or maybe with a 1153. Edited April 24, 2011 by markinson Quote
