I'm very happy with my 9.0 and i can confirm it too has the 230/110V switch in the back pannel. Cheers

Take a look at this page: [url="http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/akcndfr54jdhrei567/Ultimate_Guide_ver100.pdf"]http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/akcndfr54j...uide_ver100.pdf[/url] ...this is the best one i've found on the web.

I ran mine with 9V and never noticed a huge diference for 18V!

They're Eminnence loaded so they should sound fine even if they haven´t gone all the way with the design... Have got some info on it? I would like to know because i've been thinking about getting one for the rare ocasion where i'll need an extension cab... Cheers

[quote name='MattB' post='1230041' date='May 13 2011, 03:26 PM']I think I did say this earlier (I might be wrong!) but i wanted to keep it under £500 for a 3-piece and occasional 4-piece playing big old Essex pubs and clubs. The 150 Line 6 is just about ok - but everything is on 10 and it's not how I like to run, while the GP12SMX is just way too powerful. Lugging it around it like carrying two humans and i have it on 2 volume so know i need something in between that I can carry around more easily and isn't simply over the top. The guitarist has a bastard-loud Peavey amp that just drowns everything, so i need to push through. Hope that helps.

Maybe you could find a nice and cheap 12" cab in the FS section over here Cheers

Trace Elliot Boxer15 definetly! Would make you doubt your ears with it's great tone and low-end (and even sound volume) coming from such a small and light box. Try to find an old one (covered with the green carpet), you can get a used one for £50(ish).

I don't know if you already answerd this but what is your budget? What's the formation and music style of your band? Is your drummer a loud one? I could tell you like a Trace'ish sound, is that correct? People are telling you their personal favourits but it would be helpfull for you if we could sugest something apropriate to your needs. Cheers

Hi I've got one of these: Boss AB-2 It's passive, only takes 2 battreries inside to keep the LED's working. You can link in either way ( 1 input 2 outputs / 2 inputs 1 output ). [greedy mode] I can sell you mine for £35 posted to UK. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. Some pics: [url="http://picasaweb.google.com/106572846091439162015/BossAB2#slideshow/5509234752076119714"]http://picasaweb.google.com/10657284609143...234752076119714[/url] The pedal is as new condition (no dents or scratches) and the box got a little damaged some time after i took the pics but it's still functional. [/greedy mode] Edit: of course you can allways buy a new unit for only a couple quid more over there Cheers

i use my fx between my bass and amp so i can get my DI signal pre-EQ without loosing the fx.

In your case (if you like the Trace tone) i would go for a Markbass CMD121P. Big sound with lots of punch in a compact and light unit.

IMO heavy cabs have more mass leading to more ressonance (like heavy-mass bass bridges). This effect adds that perception of a bassier sound but IME it result in muddy lows that fill the room without adding volume. For me, a well designed lightweigh cab can go just as low and as loud as an old heavy cab but with more definition and clarity in the sound - some may call this "thin". I prefer to hear every note i'm playing than to see all the bottles on the bar's shelf shaking

Stop it! I just keep imaging my STL9.0 on top of this beauty:

You just keep fueling my GAS for a S12T with this topics... and i don't need it!... but i definetly want one!!!

Both ways of linking are completely fine. The only dowside of linking one cab to the other IMO is if the lead connecting the head to the first cab brakes down you loose sound from both cabs. Xlr is better than 1/4 Jack because it has a better fix in the socket.

The TRB, doesn't have sentimental value but worths more (financialy and soundwise) than all my other basses put together!

I would also say Promethean but why not just a simple amplified lightweight floor monitor? You have the pre in the Tonehammer! If you like a deep sound i think a 12" is the minimum, see if something pops up in the FS section (that RS112 would be great if it is a good deal). The cheapest neo 12" cab with quality i've seen for sale new is the Fender Rumble 12" cab, give it a look. You can use it with the TC os the GB at low volume, i use my STL9.0+STL12T at low settings without loosing tone. It's great playing at low volumes! I'm on a funky band with a female vocals, guitar and drums and sometimes i need to ask the guitard to raise his volume a bit! The drumer wasn't very quiet but me and the guitard are taking care of him! If we play with PA support what's the point of playing at deafning volume levels on stage? Cheers

Wrong section!

Also try plugging your power supply in diferent sockets around your house. Could be as simple as a electric device ( like a refrigerator, PC, washing machine, etc.) is sharing the same take from the electric board (i realy don't know if i'm using the corect terms...) and is causing that humm. A friend of mine had a similar issue but with a amp, i told him to do this and he found it was the hall's light bolb causing the humm!

My vote is for the Bass but i only noticed you've altered the poll when i pressed show results (null vote)!

Do you understand the concept of multiple choice? </good natured but admittedly sarcastic reply>[/quote] Of course! The bass is the basis for our sound! The amp/cab are there to serve you as a monitor for you to hear what you're playing. If the sound coming from your bass is of poor quality no money in the world would buy a amp/cab capable of fixint it (though there are some rigs capable of making bad instruments and poor playing sound good due to the colouring of the signal to the extend of making things sound so wolly you are tricked into believing you're getting a great sound!!!) [quote name='paul h' post='1218754' date='May 3 2011, 04:06 PM']QUICK, YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE AND YOU CAN SAVE ONLY YOUR AMP OR ONLY YOUR CAB.....WHICH IS IT? [/quote] Both! I would easily carry one in each hand! But i would still see first if i haven't left any of my basses laying around... [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1218770' date='May 3 2011, 04:17 PM']95% chance it was the amp that started the fire.[/quote] That made my afternoon!

Neither! I get my sound from my bass and my hands... and some fx units... I EQ all my sound (and i change my sound a lot from one song to another, i'll go from a funky cracky sound to a phat-almost-thump one) using the bass's pre and playing on diferent places of he bass (closer to the bridge or closer to the neck) and adjusting my playing to each sound. I have my amp set flat (it's very transparent) and use a un-colouring cab. I take my line to the mixing desk using my pre-EQ DI and leave the desk channel flat also! Works great and never needed to EQ anything to compensate the room!

[quote name='Merton' post='1217625' date='May 2 2011, 03:09 PM']The "Trace Elliot" branded speakers were made by Celestion [/quote] True fact! I still don't think a 5'er could damage a 4x10" with it's low B... i know for fact the original Trace/Celestion drivers wouldn't be bother with the extra low-end! I've played a lot with my 5'er through a Trace head and 2x10" cab! Maybe those Eminence aren't suposed to cope with the low freqs... (i haven't searched these drivers specs so correct me if i'm wrong)
