So the question is "Should I mod the cab to make it 2 x 8-ohms" and then try and sell it? -
[quote name='minty fresh death' post='175776' date='Apr 13 2008, 07:04 PM']So from your description, I can ascertain that it is a 2 Ohm cab??[/quote] I would have to say no. As made it has 3 sets of speakers, each of 4-ohms. The AH-1000 had 3 power amps 2x250watt and 1x 500-watt. I've thought out the various permutations and concluded that you could: Parallel the two 2x10s and putting them in series with the 1x15 you would get 6-ohms. This would work well with a decent solid-state amp. Put the two 2x10s in series to give 8-ohms and drive them from one channel of a power amp. Run the 1x15 from the other channel. Put the two 2x10s in series to give 8-ohms. Change the 1x15 to a 8-ohm driver. Put the 10s in parallel with the 15 to get 4-ohms. The possibilities are endless but you can never get 2-ohms. Where would you like it delivered?

The mother and father of Trace Elliot speaker cabs. The reason/project for which I bought this has gone away so it's up for sale. Originally designed to work with the AH-1000 head it comprises 2 x (2x10-inch plus horn, 250-watt, 4-ohm) and 1 x 1x15-inch, 500-watt, 4-ohm. It would a simple matter to change the the 15-inch driver to an 8-ohm unit and rewire the 10s to give a total 4-ohm cab. £250 . Most certainly collect only or I can deliver with 100-miles of Farnham/Guildford for cost of the diesel.

Continuing my massive clearout I have another 4U Flightcase Warehouse rack. This one has a 500mm centre box section and rack strip at the front only. In very good condition as very little use. £50 posted or you can collect. -
When I bought this a few years ago it was advertised as having been made for Tom Hamilton. Root beer body and gold plated hardware. A couple of dings but otherwise excellent condition. It's not had a dard life and plays beautifully. Scratch plate is now back to the original black. Unfortunately I've never been able to prove it.

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='173905' date='Apr 10 2008, 01:43 PM']How much?[/quote] I can't remember what the last one went for on UK eBay but I reckon it's got to be worth £100 of anyone's money. I shall put it in my eBay shop very soon.

[quote name='Mike' post='173747' date='Apr 10 2008, 10:42 AM']Looks great! Did you have to replace the pickguard to get rid of the screwholes?[/quote] yes the screw-holes, not to mention the rather large cut-out. Not Blasphemy Joe. Just personal preference.

I finally bit the bullet and took out the Dark Star and fitted a Wizard Thumper. Call me old fashioned but I must say I like the sound and it's a joy to play. A P-bass with a super-slim jazz neck, unlike my '78 P with the broom-handle jazz neck. Before After In order to give the pick-up screws somewhere to bite I had to glue in a piece of wood to fill up the extra route for the DS so no going back. Anyone want to buy a Dark Star?

I bought the stock Lindy Fralin pick-up for this from Peter with a view to putting it into my DD. In the end I've fitted a Wizard Thumper. Whoever buys this bass can buy the Lindy at what I paid for it plus postage and put it back to original.

Very Good Steve. Good luck with it.

Thanks to all who have responded. I feel like a Call Centre with 4 potential buyers all held in an orderly queue.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='172848' date='Apr 9 2008, 08:54 AM']Absoluetly no trades what so ever? i really really want one of these but have nothing in the way of cash. -Jake[/quote] I'm after a new bass and unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't take cabs, or anything else for that matter, in part exchange.

Since I got my two 1x12s I haven't gigged this cab in over 2 years. I'm no longer gigging regularly so reluctantly I'm going to have to let it go. £500 including custom soft cover. No offers or trades please.

I've been approached by a member to supply some long mains leads. I can get some 6-metre moulded leads but like all things the more you buy the better the price and the lower the postage. Anyone interested in any at £5-each plus postage from me to you?

[quote name='The Burpster' post='171783' date='Apr 7 2008, 09:32 PM']Dave, Whilst that twin from Maplin isn't cheap, it would make a fantastic start for the effects loop? BTW what braided sheath did you use? I can blagg Blk Nylon stuff from my dads old employer (the stuff they used to make up welding cables with- same idea different leads....) but wondered if you had some 'pretty' stuff... ? Bob.[/quote] No just the black ribbed. Alright I lied about the ribbing.

[quote name='OldGit' post='171767' date='Apr 7 2008, 09:18 PM']Tried OBBM?[/quote] Yes he has. Studiospares do a very acceptable Stereo Mic cable which I have used for stereo guitar leads. Also I have a drum of stereo cable with two individually screened cable inside a single round jacket. Great for stereo jack cables but no good if you want to come out to separate jacks.

[quote name='super.rad' post='169232' date='Apr 3 2008, 04:13 PM']Plugged my bass (P-Bass copy) into the amp on friday at band practice and it was buzzing really loudly, i could barely hear what i was playing over the noise. Eventually worked out it was the tone pot, I always have it on full but the only way to stop the noise was to turn it completely down. Had 2 gigs on the weekend where i had to play with it completely down, luckily managed to get it sounding alright by fiddling with the amp's eq. Need to fix the bass now but I'm thinking as the tone is always on full (I play punk) would it work just to wire the bass without a tone control? If so could someone please find a wiring diagram. Thanks[/quote] The best place would be the support section on www.fender.com. They have all the wiring diagrams.
