    All sorted now. As spider said - start with both at 0, switch on power to 1, leave for a bit, switch on standby to 1. This now means it's in run mode (ironically, not standby!) but all good. So, to summise, on the standby switch, 0 is standby (ie on but no sound) and 1 is not in standby / run mode (sound).

    Are you able to arrange courier, insurance etc?

    Did you ever have to change any fuses, valves or any maintenance? Theres x2 red leds showing on the power tubes when in operation. It could be just fuses. Just wondered if it's a user thing to fix or strictly an amp techs job?

    Cheers Dood! It was your review (both video and written) that convinced me I wanted one ages ago! Great review, and I'm definitely not disappointed! PS as soon as another n410 cab comes up, I'm after it!

    Well, I finally lost the plot and did what I knew I'd do the minute I bought the half a kg trace elliot elf amp ..... I bought a 40kg all valve amp to replace it! I've been after one of these for ages. By nature I never really go for the obvious choices in anything - cars, music, clothes - my main gigging amp is a quilter and my bass a g&l, so in a weird way Laney becomes a much more attractive amp for me than say an Ampeg, Trace, Fender etc. I got it in pretty much unused condition and I'm chuffed to bits with it. I've never had a full valve amp before. I've had ashdown abms with the one valve preamp, but nothing else. But this, this has 12 valves! Massive ones at that. The control panel despite looking confusing is very simple. Pretty much all of it is standard, but the panel has extra options in switchable lo mid and hi mid frequencies and boosts and cuts (I love the fact its covered both mids) and a 6 band switchable graphic too. On top of that it has a presence dial, which helps bring the mids and top end more to the fore. Likewise a deep dial which is used to tighten the bottom end. Theres also a one knob compressor that seems to work really well and also add a bit of bite. The tube option has both a tube drive and a tube level, so you can get more out of the tubes at lower volumes. Now, heres the brilliant bonus....not only does it have an awesome valve section, it also has a fantastic fet section, so you can run it just fet, just valve, or have a combination of both! Love it! I'd wager this is also a fantastic saver should anything go wrong with either section. Simply switch to just the other. Sound wise....gees, its unbelievable. Paired with my laney n410 it's really really powerful. Even at its lowest level, with the bass guitar turned right down and the pad button in, I can feel the bass vibrate through my legs! Real real heft if ever I felt it. Gorgeous tone so far, with lots of tone shaping options. I simply cant wait to get it in a practice room soon!

    Hi all, Just got my first proper tube valve amp. Daft question, I get the switching to stand by before switching on properly etc, but..... The standby and power switch have a 0 and 1. For power obviously 0 is off and 1 is on. So, at 0 is that 'standby' off, and therefore the amp is running, and when at 1 amp is in standby? To help, what should the switches be set at when switching on for the first time? Power 1 and Standby 1? Then to get volume, power 1 and standby 0? Any help really appreciated, before I turn it on for the first time!

    Someone help me out! I heard this cab and bought it (guy I bought it off had only used it 4 times in the house - great condition) alongside an amp head which I wanted. It was absolutely gorgeous sounding. However, I already have a 4x10 which I love, and I really want to keep this too and probably will if I play it at practice this week. So, someone buy it off me before then! I really cant afford to keep it! Reviews out there online, pretty much all saying it's the best 4x10 cab they've ever used. 4ohm means you get the very best out of your amp! Also has a fully adjustable tweeter. It is fairly light, and has 3 handles depending on how you want to carry it, and lovely recessed wheels. These cost a lot when new - £1100+ Grab a bargain. Pick up Leyland Lancashire. Photos to follow: ------ Below spec is from bass direct. GB 410T UB4 - £1162 DISCONTINUED The UB series features classic design, powerful tonal output packaged into lightweight touring cabinets finished in a black “nubby-textured” vinyl and a silver/ black wire mesh grille cloth. Whether the music calls for the clarity and response of slap-style, the grunt and growl of pick playing or the warmth and punch of finger style, the UB series delivers. Each cabinet is loaded with our GNX10250 loudspeaker, compression tweeter and custom designed crossover network with a 100 watt tweeter level control. This design offers 1000 watts of output in a compact, easy to transport enclosure. The Edge-Lift handles, rear-mounted casters and rear skid rails make it a breeze to get this 72 lb. cab from stage-to-stage.

    I love the elf. It's so much better than it should be. Incredibly light, good sound, and great DI. Fits in any bass case or bag. Perfect. I've listed mine for sale today, only because I've had to fund a new valve amp, otherwise it's a fantastic addition to any bass players arsenal. It only occurred to me today I've been carrying mine around for months in my case as a spare and never noticed it!

    Cure it, by buying wrecks of basses and doing them up. It is enjoyable, cheap and you end up with a new bass out of it as a consequence at the end!

    Hi all, Selling my trace elliot elf, in pretty much as new condition, including carry bag, box and instructions. I added a MOD to this, where I have fitted taller feet, which allows air to flow freely under the amp and much more efficient cooling. It still fits nicely in its case to. I will also include the original feet. Only selling due to getting a new amp today. A 40kg valve amp for touring, so it's no reflection on the elf. It has only ever been kept as a spare in my bass case. I gigged it once to try it and it was great, plenty of power and good tone. Dont forget this also is a very handy tool to have in your arsenal as it has a great DI, so you can even use it as a tone shaper or DI box. These are now up around £275. Bargain at £195. Photos to follow if required.

    Singer A all the way. No need for a second audition. Decent singer singing songs he didn't choose, enthusiastic,so would be better at ones he did, good at communicating, eager and has a good pa. Why bother with B?

    Hi, have you any photos? Thanks.

    Agreed. It takes a bit to make sense and remember, but when you do, its amazingly easy to edit on the fly.
