    Ok, thanks.

    The manual says to wait 2 minutes Bill.

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

    If there are they must be deaf! I've only used it with at 8ohm with a laney 4x10 and even outside, I dont get it past around 200w. Although I'm sure theres some people on the forums who have said they have run x2 4ohm cabs without issue.

    Also, just got back from a gig inside the courtyard of a big castle (pretty much outdoors) and used the xlr out (not a proper di) to the desk. Worked great. No issues at all. No matter what volume.

    Heres a photo of it finally fully loaded.
  18. la bam
    Next to nothing really. It's just a standard case weight with a bass in, plus: 1.6kg for the amp head. Not too much different for the helix. And the weight of a few cables. And the handle has been designed to centre the weight.

    No, it's a G&L lb100. Had to do a trace and dimensions especially for it.
  20. la bam
    Haha, well hopefully not, its hopefully kind of the opposite - reduced trips to and from car loading up and packing down, so everything should be with me all the time. Either in house, in car, in venue, then car, then house. No leaving doors open doing a few trips etc or stuff getting mixed up on stage or in a pack down.
  21. la bam
    I honestly dont know. No more than a standard case though. Its aluminium and hex board with foam inserts.

    Bit of neck dive!

    As part of my real job in events, I'm constantly working out ways to minimise kit, without compromising on quality. Ie same kit, but better packaged and less trips and space taken up in van. So, today, I've been chuffed to bits for my new custom flight case from the brilliantly helpful guys at swan flight cases. I needed a case to fit: 1.bass guitar. 2.amp (quilted 800). 3.helix stomp. 4.cables. I sent swan all the dimensions and I'm chuffed to bits with the results. I didn't have my bass or helix with me, but here's a photo of the bass case with the amp and a few cables in. So I now have everything I need (bar cab) in one case - bass, cables, speakon, amp, and in the helix everything I'd every need - di, tuner, amp modeled, volume, recording, and every type of pedal going. All in a lightweight package. Well worth doing if you have similar kit.

    Nothing to do with me, but during a routine Ebay search for bass heads, theres a lovely looking trace elliot v8, allegedly owned by John entwistle and blue on there. Currently 1000.

    For our line check (just bass) I always just do a slow 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4.l and repeat, as follows: G on E string A on E string C on A string D on A string F on D string G on D string A# on G string C on G string Just a simple steady run, but always gives the sound guy chance to balance the lows and highs and takes just a few seconds.
