I see his demo in a french musicstore, he also played a green Fender 5 with maple fingerboard.
The sound of the Status 6 with the BFC is the kind of thing that make you realize how the bass is a powerful instrument !!!

I still have the dedicated poster, a jacket with a big embroidered Trace Elliot logo in the back (a friend win a set of strings).
Great memory, David Jacob is a funny guy.

I spoke to him breifly but my french is non existant and his english not great but he was truly inspirational to watch. On a subconcious level, he probably also helped influence the purchase of my V4 too - I had a 712-SMC at the time. Listening to that V8 he was playing growl, I knew I needed one too..

There was an early 80's Trace cab, which had a 12"/15"/18" in a column..but no idea if it had a name - think it was from the Soundwave PA days.

I remeber Jamie Stewert from the Death Cult using something like that, or maybe it was a 15", 210's sideways and a couple of High frequency 8's or 6's at the top. I did roadie their gear for a tour, but it was a long time ago
Great sound he got out of the stingray and TE stack. Blown away by how great it sounded everynight.

Chris (Thornybank) had one of these monster cabs - in fact I'm sure he had two but the second one had been cut down at some point in the past.

It was something like 18", 15", 2x10" - might even have been a 2 x 15" - it was a long time ago I saw it

Yep, a very early model..looks like a power amp in the top - so a giant powered speaker?
