tony_m Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Paging @TheGreek and @stewblack Just like buses, you don't see any BLX-110s for ages, then two turn up at once! Unfortunately I won't be bidding on either as I've just bought another bicycle instead... 🙄 This one's in St Neots... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303249036897?ul_noapp=true This one's in Gillingham... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202753989485?ul_noapp=true 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Saw them...I'm bidding on the one in St Neots. Thanks 1 Quote

Thanks We actually drove past Gillingham this morning heading home along the M2, so could have made a detour to pick the other one up, but The Boss was driving and wouldn't do it. Oh well, it wasn't a perfect match for the one I've got anyway... Quote
Deedee Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I'd like to give one of these a go for a small home setup. There seems to be very little info available. I have several old brochures from around the time with the BLX combos in but the 1 x 10" cab doesn't appear in any of them. Quote

Yeah, they're odd wee beasties. All I can really say is they're 8ohm, rated at 150W, and some have a horn while others don't. From the pictures I've seen, the speaker can either be located centrally (like the two currently on eBay), or offset to the side like the two in these links... https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/trace-elliot-blx-110-speaker-745211227 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/trace-elliot-blx-110-bass-cab-473138345 Mine's one of the hornless / offset speaker variety, and for some reason the TE badge is in the diagonally opposite corner to all the others! And yes, the head may be familiar to you... 😉 1 Quote

TheGreek Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I bought one a couple of years ago - lives in the front room under my AH150 and Elf - swap between the two as the mood suits. Great little cab - just as you'd expect from TE. I don't expect to pick the next one up at a silly price - I think that TE are back on the up. 2 Quote

Deedee Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Well I bagged the Gillingham one, it arrived today and very nice it is too. In great condition and sounds fab. Has anyone ever gigged with a couple of these? I think they'd do the job pretty well (small gigs or larger gigs with PA support). Edited August 16, 2019 by Deedee typo 2 Quote

Mildly jealous - I do have one but the one in Cambs was more than I wanted to pay....great little cabs and not too heavy, defies the TE reputation. 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I just realised that I did bid on the one in Cambs and WON!!! However the seller withdrew my bid stating that the cab was BROKEN. He's got it back up for sale. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trace-Elliot-1x10-Cab/303255266164?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D4912a091d266462b940f86d591e89fed%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D401847969360%26itm%3D303255266164%26pg%3D2045573&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042 I had a chat with eBay about this and was assured that he wouldn't be allowed to relist the item....errrr???? Exactly what the dodgy basstard has done. Quote

Deedee Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) That’s a shocker 😡. I think I’ll message him too EDIT - It now appears to have been pulled Edited August 17, 2019 by Deedee Quote
ped Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 I explained that a friend had bid but it was removed etc. Wonder if he’ll message back! Quote
stewblack Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Looks like I dodged a bullet not bidding on these. I have a TE 2X10 in the collection already so a second 1 10 isn't strictly speaking necessary. But hey, who's counting? Quote
fleabag Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) That guy probably cancelled the auction after the event saying it was ' broken ' because he didnt get enough bids. It's an old trick Edited August 20, 2019 by fleabag 1 Quote
Deedee Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Anyhoo, if anyone does know of another for sale please let me know. I'm loving mine and fancy making a pair. Quote
