lownote Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I have a Trace Elf. It sounds quite good but doesn't sound totally awesome with either my current big heavy cabs, which I want to replace also because theyre big and a little heavy. So I wondered if there was a consensus on a little light cab for the Elf, a marriage made in heaven. I've seen some recommendations for the Bareface One10, and also the native Trace 2x8. But there are also respected voices against both of those options. I appreciate taste is a very personal thing but wondered if there was anything else I should be considering?

I'm mostly a blues and jazz sort of guy, with fretless flatwound tendencies. What's your preferred sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Blues/rock, old-school, TI flats on a range of basses. No slappage here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One10 is what I had as my cab when I used the Elf. Great in my Americana band with electric and fretless bass, not so good when I wheeled out the double bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I have mine through an original TE 1x10. These are the extension cabs for the original, MIUK, series gear - they don't come up for sale very often - if you see one for under £75, snap it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Elf into a couple of Ampeg SVT-210AV cabs sounds pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
