    I use a K&M light, with 2 bulbs - they also do a smaller model with one 25 watt bulb. Think Amazon have them.

    Just in case you did n't know, ASS were a well respected speaker cab manufacturer, based in Southend area. They also designed cabs for Ashdown, used by U2 and John Entwhistle. geeky bump!

    Just sold Tom a power amp. Despite Parcelfarce's best attempt to trash the package, Tom remained a cool bloke throughout! Easy transaction and great communications etc. Top feller, highly recommended.

    My function band are currently downsizing their PA and getting a smaller van etc. We are therefore selling our ASS speakers, which we've had from new (ordered from ASS in Southend 4 years ago). All components are quality B&C units, the cabs being very strong ply construction. The rig consists of a pair of bass bins and a pair of mid/horn cabs, over 3k in total. The bins each contain 2x18" drivers (rated at 500 watts each), and have 4 large castors on the back. The top cabs each contain a 1x15" driver and a 1.5" compression driver for the horn,rated at 120 watts. (Last December a DJ who was sharing our gear managed to blow the horn drivers, so these were replaced then with the correct units.) All other components are original. The cabs have just been given a sprucing up with proper speaker paint so look fine. We've used these 3 way with a DBX Driverack unit and QSC power amps, and its all been great. Superb sounding rig, with plenty of bottom end!! Sad to see them go,but its all a bit too much for our needs now. TBH we've not used the bass bins that much this last year, just utilising the tops for vocals&brass on most gigs. As we're getting a smaller van, these will now be surplus to our requirements NOW SOLD (to someone not from BC) The PA is currently in Hull, East Yorkshire. Possible help with delivery depending on where etc., but would have to be soon as our van is being sold! Cheers. (Please note that in the pic there are 2 pairs of top cabs - the sale is for one pair of top cabs and one pair of bass bins. However, the other pair of tops pictured could also be up for sale if you're interested.)

    [quote name='guyl' post='1020022' date='Nov 11 2010, 01:26 PM']Everything sounds great in your bedroom or music shop. You need to get it into a musical situation to really assess it. Sometimes that means buying and road testing for a few months. This is one of the great things about basschat - the ability to have a dabble and move it on ![/quote] Thats exactly it, for me anyway. Would n't have got a Mark Bass head or Barefaced cab if it had n't been on here. Has cured me of amp GAS for at least...ooh...a month?!!

    As you rightly point out, your amp will give its full output if using a 4ohm load from your speakers. So, you could a) Upgrade the Trace cab - couple of 8 ohm Eminence Beta 10's should cost you around £120 the pair,giving you a 500 watt 4ohm cab. b ) Use the 2x10 as it is if you can ,and help it along by getting another 8 ohm cab (1x15"?) to run with it. c) Just get a newer more efficient cab - plenty on here s/h. A Peavey 1x15 4 ohm Black Widow cab would work fine.(less than £100?) You will probably be able to sell your Trace cab on here for something - plenty of TE anoraks still around! d) Buy another set up - again s/h on here. If you buy wisely you should be able to recoup a good amount of your outlay should you wish to re-sell if the gig does n't last. Good luck!

    Acoustic are great amps, louder than their rating too! I had a 120 and it was a fine bit of kit. The 220 should be enough to gig with with a decent 4 ohm cab.

    [quote name='spinynorman' post='1015919' date='Nov 8 2010, 01:00 AM']There's something wrong on Travelling Alone, the bass and guitar are out of whack somewhere. It should sound like this ... Pretty good version of Crossroads, compared to some he's done. And at least he's playing Gibsons.[/quote] To me it sounded like EC was hitting the open top string, which was clashing a bit somewhere. Song is in A, he was capoed on 2nd fret and playing in open G, which meant the dodgy open string was a 6th (F#) which was interfering with the 7th feel of the song somewhat? And also the raised 6th (F) appearing in the riff didn't help either? ( Cluster of F/F#/G's etc.) This is not apparent in the studio recording. Or am I just talking bol*ocks ? (again...!!) Nice Les Paul though!

    As a lifelong EC fan I must admit the first number was n't great........ Anyone got the album yet, any good?

    3 heads 5 cabs Covers all eventualities (so far.....)

    Are all the MB range built in the USA or have GK got into Far East production?

    Just sold a Crown XS500, which was a great amp. Reckoned to run 750w a side @2 ohms but we never did. Personally would rather get a bigger output amp @ 4 ohms than run anything at 2 ohms if at all possible. Peavey have in the past often claimed 2 ohm operation on a lot of their stuff, but am sure it would be happier / last longer etc running at 4 ohms. Just my sixpennorth....

    [quote name='mxm' post='1006351' date='Oct 30 2010, 02:13 PM']Hi, I've got a standard Status branded Hiscox Liteflite bass flight case - pretty much no use to me as it won't cater for any of my left handed basses (p j etc). It's used but in perfect working order. Quite happy to swap for similar Hiscox case (that would cater for a LH bass), a 2xbass gig bag or make me an offer ! Ta.[/quote] Hi - am interested in a case for my Stingray. Is yours just a regular Hiscox Liteflite with Status branding, or is it specially designed for just Status basses? Any pics? Would you post? Cheers!

    Paris, Texas - Ry Cooder's finest? American Graffiti - great 50's/60's soundtrack (early Harrison Ford role and directed by George Lucas.) +1 for Oh Brother Where art thou too.
  17. casapete
    Someone buy this please - am slowly weakening to add to my GK collection....... Great classic amp, tones to die for and portable - whats not to like?

    [quote name='4StringFortress' post='1005393' date='Oct 29 2010, 04:22 PM']I cant seem to find any on here I had a check. I have found the Washburn AB-10 B on google are they similar to the AB20?[/quote] I see you found it! The AB series start with the AB10 and go through to the AB40/45. Think the AB10 is similar to the old AB20, certainly looks the same.... I've seen them going new for around the £300 mark, and rate them the best in this price range, along with the Takamine 512c. Cheers
  19. casapete
    I can recommend the Washburn AB20. Had mine for nearly 20 years, and its still great. You can get them s/h at quite good prices - Oldman has one for sale on here in 'basses for sale'
  20. casapete
    Fender do a box of guitar care stuff, 'Fender Instrument Care Kit' containing 3 products - 'mist&wipe', 'swirl&haze remover' and 'polish&conditioner'. Had mine for over 3 years and still loads left. Excellent kit for most eventualities! Think they're around £20.

    There's what seems like a nice Dano Longhorn currently for sale on Edinburgh Gumtree for £120. Appears to be a late 90's Korean model in blueburst. Fair price for a Dano, they're getting harder to find these days. Cheers.

    [quote name='wotnwhy' post='999854' date='Oct 25 2010, 11:50 AM']Interested in this, but would be 'absolutely necessary' to courier as i'm from S/W Wales.. [/quote] Am guessing it would be around £20 to courier / post? (Let me know if thats about right, obviously would do it at cost.) Forgot to mention ,as its not my personal amp would prefer payment via cheque too if thats okay. (Check my feedback on here, you can buy with confidence!) Thanks, Pete.
