Clockworkwar Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well I just bought a nice Trace Elliot cab from Stevie, I got it out the packaging and put it on its side and heard a rattle. I immediately thought DHL had been throwing it around for sports. Until I got a small torch inside the cab and realised it was a 5p, luckily my hands are small enough to fit in the port holes and I got it out. Has anyone else has this before?

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 When I had a Trace Elliot 715SM combo I noticed a rattling sound when I took it to rehearsal once and found my son had hidden five or six of his hot wheels cars in it. He must have been running the track into the port and letting the cars roll in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you paid extra for that. I was thinking of getting that done on mine but couldn't justify the expense. Some people insist you can't hear the difference.

Stylon Pilson Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I once bought a combo and it felt too heavy, so I opened it up and found another combo in there. But the combo that was inside felt a bit too heavy, so I opened it up and found an even smaller combo in there. But that one felt too heavy too. I opened it up, and found an even smaller combo in there. But that one felt too heavy too. I opened it up, and found an even smaller combo in there. But that one felt too heavy too.

Happy Jack Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Yeh, well I opened up one of my cabs and found that Fs = 1/(2*pi*sqrt(Cms*Mms)). Which certainly came as a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't actually say if 5p would do the trick on a TE cab though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatwound Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Never found anything in an amp,...never looked, but I bought a large pair of JBL Stereo speakers many years ago, and after some clown kicked a cone on one of the drivers, I had to replace it, and on removing the old driver, I found four 1 ounce bags of "primo" bud.....excellent. !! How could the original owner forget that. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbloke Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I bought an 8 x 10 from a Chinese seller on ebay and it was making a funny noise when it arrived. When I opened it up I found a dozen illegal immigrants inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I bought an amp once that felt a bit heavy so I opened it up, inside was a load of wires and circuit boards looked like junk so I threw it all away, stopped working after that. Must have been good luck wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
