  5. [quote name='BigBassBob' post='1329017' date='Aug 5 2011, 05:50 PM']Hi there, is the neck construction bolt-on or set-neck on these? Cheers, Bob.[/quote] Hi, it's a bolt on neck Bex
  6. [quote name='Lozz196' post='1328633' date='Aug 5 2011, 12:51 PM']Yes, you will find that "tube-watts" seem much louder than "solid-state watts". I`ve no idea why, I`m sure the technical guys on here will. I think generally, people seem to use the "if your guitarist has a 100w valve amp, the bass amp, if solid-state, needs to be 3 times as powerful" theory. But in reality, if it`s loud enough, it doesn`t really matter what the maufacturers claims are, it`s loud enough - and as said, Trace def do a very loud amp.[/quote] Yeah I found that when I was playing. I heard that theory with bass amps too, so I'm guessing that 150w solid state should do the jobs, depending on the speaker size Our guitarist was originally going to use a 100w valve head through a 2x10 cab, but he's selling that now so I think he's going through a 100w solid state now.
  7. [quote name='Lozz196' post='1328208' date='Aug 5 2011, 07:41 AM']I`ve no experience of that amp, but if comparison to the other bassist in my bands (yes, 2 bassists, it`s the way forward) Trace combo, it will be plenty loud. He uses a 115, I think 150 watt combo, and it is ridiculously loud. The only thing that would put me off is the weight - the 115 combo is heavy, I can`t imagine what the 410 weighs.[/quote] Thanks! I wasn't sure because our guitarist said I needed a 300w amp for when we gig, but when we rehearsed last weekend, I was playing through a 50w tube head and a couple of 1x12 cabs and I was the loudest out of everyone... almost louder than the p.a! But at the moment, this is looking like an excellent alternative if I'm not able to get the Ashdown next week, which at the moment, is looking slightly unlikely...
  8. Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any reviews of the Trace Elliot GP11 4x10 combos? I'm looking to get a new bass amp for my band, and apart from Ashdown's, this one's caught my eye quite a bit as well. And to compare in loudness, how would it fair to a 50w tube head and 2 1x12 cabs? Because that's what I'm borrowing off our drummers uncle at the moment, and it's freakin' loud! I've seen a few go for around £150, but atm they seem to be more expensive, so has anyone seen anyone advertise one for around my budget?
  9. BUMP Yeah, as I'm desperate to sell this I have no choice to sell this for around £120 ONO Possibly even just £100, but I'd rather not sell it that little.

  11. Decided to put this in a seperate thread... I bought this guitar a few years ago when I had a paper round, so about 3 or 4 years ago? It's a great guitar, and was my number one choice over my Squier Telecaster for at least 2 years. But after I bought my PRS, and I've been playing bass in a band lately, the guitars getting neglected sadly and I only use it if I can't be bothered to tune my PRS down, so I think it's time to sell... The guitar itself is in excellent condition, other than a few scratches on the scratchplate and a very very tiny chip in the body, which is unnoticeable really. The guitar comes with it's original gigbag, but no strap as it had worn out pretty quickly, so I had to chuck it. Ideally, I'd like £150 for it considering I paid £250 for it new, and the fact that it's been well looked after and is in full working order. However I'm open to offers. [b]Absolute lowest I'd sell the guitar for would be [u]£125[/u], but would prefer £140 or £150[/b] I'd also consider trades for either a Squier Jazz, an Epiphone Thunderbird IV & cash possibly, as I need a new bass for a band I'm gigging with soon. Also considering trades plus cash for a giggable but cheap bass combo or head & cab. Looking for around 300w preferably. I'm located in Worcestershire, and collection would be the only option as I have nothing to pack the guitar with other than the gigbag. [u][b]Really gotta sell this as the bass amp I want is only available for a week![/b][/u]
  12. I'm also selling a Gear4Music Bass in Sunburst which I brought about 2 months ago... I was looking for a bass to just casually play in a band and just get back into playing again, but now we're gigging very very soon, and the bass really doesn't do justice for gigging. If you're after a bass for your son or daughter who's just learning, or if you just want a cheap bass to jam along with at home, then this will suit your needs Paid £50 for it, so hopefully would like to get my money near enough back for it, as I haven't had it very long and only played it a handful of times. Oh and the actions been set on this too, when I bought it, it was ridiciously high xD So I had it lowered for more comfortabilty. It comes with a gigbag, if you want to call it that... It'll do the trick for carrying it, and all, but if you have a hard case or a spare gig bag, I'd use that instead :L Collection only sorry as it's too large and have nothing to cover it. I'm based in Worcestershire

  14. I might be interested Do you have any pics?
  15. So I'm currently in a band which are starting to gig, and I'd have gear prepared usually, but as I didn't really play bass until I joined the band, I only have a cheap G4M bass and I was planning on going through the P.A., but as that can't happen now, I need to buy a cheap but giggable bass amp. I heard that the Ashdown Mag 300 combos are great for the money, so I'm thinking about those. But as I don't know much about bass amps, I'm open to suggestions. I have a budget of £200 tops, but ideally I'd like to spend £150. Any ideas of what to get?
