Tubster Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 The new 1x8" and 1x10". Anyone got one of these? Would very much like to know more about them - so little out there. Thanks Quote
Happy Jack Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Prompted by your question I've just had a quick look at these. You can buy the head for £225 and the matching cab for £279, so the combo that brings these together costs £579. Really? Makes more sense to buy the separates. Makes even more sense to buy the head for £225 (I have one, and it's a very useful backup plus rehearsal tool) and a Barefaced One10 for £369, but that's just my opinion. 3 Quote
yorks5stringer Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Usually its the other way around: Markbass LMIII £449 and NYC 121 cab £415 but the same thing as a combo £659 Quote

Assume this is for the 1x10”? There is no 1x8” cab currently in Trace line up and the 1x8 combo is mostly where my interest lies. I understand the case for separates which has been much debated here but combos is where I am at and it looks like Trace has made a compelling shot at it. Love to hear from anyone who has one. yes, ELF/Barefaced I’m sure is a great pairing. However, take your point that separates make a more financially compelling case if you want to go 1x10”. This is certainly the first 1x8 combo I have seen that looks a serious proposition. Perhaps there is little demand for such a thing? Quote

The smallest Genz Shuttle combo is (was?) a 1x8, I would be surprised if the Trace was better, but if it is I’m also interested. There are almost no tiny giggable combos around, would be nice to have some more choice, they’re life savers for gigs that involve having to get on public transport. The latest Genzler stuff looks amazing but still too bulky for rush hour London hell. Quote

Defo Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I'd definitely go for the separates, why miss out on having a quality head you can stick in your gig bag if gear goes down? also it's fun to to pair the elf with other speakers. Quote
bazzbass Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 why make the 1x10" at 16lbs heavier by adding an amp? stick the Elf amp in your gigbag or back pocket and leave the cab at 16lbs is the best idea ymmv etc 1 Quote

Thanks Everyone replied to this but never really answered the question, apart from the finance side of it, I think Tubster was wanting to know how it sounded in a gig situation ! I don't have one, but I'm all ears to know how they sound at a gig and their reliability lol Edited October 26, 2019 by whamni Quote

While I completely understand why folk feel moved to suggest separate head and cab, I’m still very motivated to know about the sound and efficacy of the combos. certainly seems that they’re not getting much traction in the UK market?!

Telebass Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Certainly doesn't appear so... Can't find a review anywhere. Quote
RossHetherington Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 They don't really seem readily available from shops yet. Quote
