  1. Sansamp Para Driver is still available new: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tech-21-Sans-Amp-Para-Driver-Di-Effects-Pedal-NEW-/271438525586?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3f32ff3492"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tech-21-Sans-Amp-Para-Driver-Di-Effects-Pedal-NEW-/271438525586?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3f32ff3492[/url]

  2. I have a very nice Fender Squier standard Telecaster (based on a late 60s Tele) in candy apple red with white/black/white scratchplate, maple fingerboard and the classic two single-coil pickups.

    It's in excellent condition, there is one small chip in the body paint (near the neck end strap button) but the chip has been glued back in and it is not visible from the front and doesn't detract from the good looks. The shade of red is slightly darker in the flesh and has a fine metallic flash.

    This one is made in Indonesia and here's a picture of it:

    I'm looking for a nice Jazz bass of similar value, I would prefer a dot neck and I can add some cash if necessary.

    What have you got...?

  3. I'm not sure of your budget but the Barefaced Super Twin (2X12 and 18kg) would be a fine choice: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Twin.htm"]http://barefacedbass.../Super-Twin.htm[/url]

    Alternatively, a second hand BF Super Twelve would also be great and cheaper at around £550 - £650.

    Either will easily handle your 600W at 4ohm output and, when you get the chance, add another for a 1200W 4X12 super rig...!

    I had a BF Vintage (2X15) and a BF Midget (1x12) - they are fabulous cabs.

    Try contacting [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/19466-mark-ii/"][color="#282828"]Mark_ii[/color][/url] here on BC - he has a Shuttlemax 12.2, BF Super Twelve and BF Compact rig.

  4. I also love the Barefaced cabs.

    Why not start with the Super Compact: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Compact.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Compact.htm[/url]

    Much cheaper than the Big Twin 2 and just 11kg. You could add another later for a versatile 2X12 rig. One of these is probably as loud as your 4X10.

  5. I'm not really sure as I've never had an E825 to compare it to.

    I've just had a look at Sennheiser's website and the 825 is not listed as current anymore - the 835 is still a current model.

    The spec is also quite different - the 825 is listed as 80hz - 15khz whereas the 835 is listed as 40hz - 16khz...so more top end and more bottom end with the 835...!

    I hope that helps.

  6. I have to say that I already had the Midget when I first bought the Promethean so the Ibanez speaker straining was quite obvious early on (at high power levels obviously).

    It is difficult to recall exactly what tonal difference there was but it was a definite improvement over the stock 10" driver.

    I started a thread over on Talkbass where I was assisted by a couple of knowledgable WinISD experts to help with getting a suitable driver: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/ibanez-promethean-p5110-speaker-upgrade-874880/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/ibanez-promethean-p5110-speaker-upgrade-874880/[/url]

    HTH

  7. I just thought I would chime in here - I am the Promethean owner who was trying out different 10" drivers in the combo, with reference to LawrenceH earlier in the thread (page 5).

    I used mine with a Barefaced Midget as a mighty mini stack and found the original 10" driver was a bit close to the edge sometimes.

    I ended up using a Celestion NTR10-2520D 10" Neo driver and it worked out very well - it also shaved another 5lbs off the combos already light weight. Unfortunately, I have since moved on the Midget (needed cash) and now use the Promethean with a cheap 2X10 so I still have a 500W mini rig :)

    The original 10" driver is this one: [url="http://www.elderaudio.com/products/Loudspeakers/LowMiddle/2009/10LB075-U.html"]http://www.elderaudio.com/products/Loudspeakers/LowMiddle/2009/10LB075-U.html[/url] which seems to be the same as the current Red Sub as stated above.

    I have found my original driver and it weighs around 9.5lbs so the Beyma suggested earlier (weighing 15.5lbs) seems unlikely.

    Hope that helps.
