Great to deal with, did a swap for a PJB speaker cab which went extremely well, plus great to chat to another G&L fan about all things bass and the odd dog chat too 😎

Curiously tempted by this, just need to work out how to get it past her who should be obeyed 🤔

Sent you a P.M. 🤔

Hi people,

hopefully someone can help me out with this?

My Trace Elliot amp blew its power amp at a gig, I quickly swapped it for my back up amp and the cabs were working, a different sound but at at time I put it down to the change of amp, I have since tried 2 other amps and can’t seem to get these cabs dialled in, all the components work but the voicing seems off🤷‍♂️

So my question is, is there something else in these cabs that could have been damaged when the Trace went down?

Mike came to my rescue when my Trace Elliot GP12 SMX blew its power amp section, thank you for a smooth transaction and also pointing me in the direction of some very useful information, my Trace Elliot now lives again thanks to you Mike

Here are my 3 SR700's

Right is a 2012 model, centre is a 2000 era which I had defretted and piezo bridge installed, wired in place of the bridge pickup, the left hand one is a 1993 vintage which I've had from new and was my main bass for many years, still plays well but is in semi retirement now.

Great work horse basses

Mk5's, Mk6's and a 2 x 10 combo that looks like it might be an SMX 12 band eq. with dual compressor . I'll check.

Also have second hand spares for the earlier Trace amps, power modules,( inc bipolar bear), Transformers, preamps, speakers( inc some of the very heavy duty cast 15" speakers used in their premium cabs )  etc

Will P.M. you if that’s ok

I don’t suppose you have any SMX 12’s in your vast collection?

Graham Jones only lives the other side of the old Thanet Way from yours, I can message you his details if that helps

You don't live that far from the postman though.  The price includes 24 hour postage via Royal Mail.

I’ve sent you a P.M.

Hmm why do all the interesting amps have to be just that too far away!

Have you thought about taking it to your local repair guy just up the road to you?

hopefully something not to expensive

I could be very interested and local as well 🤔

These are cracking short scale basses, check out the videos on line, been using one of these for a while and it’s become my favourite player, GLWTS

This is an incredible bass for the price, I can’t believe this is still here, if I wasn’t having to play short scales due to my hands I would have snapped this up

Hmm very interesting, have sent you a pm

Can’t believe this is still here, I’ve got 2 of these cabs and I’m constantly getting compliments on how they sound

GLWTS

Oh this is getting very tempting 🤔

I can’t believe this is still here, these are great sounding and playing instruments, if I didn’t have 2 already I would have snapped this up

Why do basses like this come up when I’m skint ☹️

No Problems GLWTS

Would you be interested in a trade, I've got a G&L Tribute L2000 but just can't get on with the precision type neck, had it from new and only took it out once?

Aaaghh just so tempting, so now how could I get it past she who must be obeyed :-)

Could be so tempted with this one, where a outs in the South East are you ?

I have both a Trace SMX and an Ashdown but prefer the Trace as it gives me a much punchier sound and plenty of grit, I found the Ashdown a little to sterile but maybe just the model ? I used to use the Trace with a 1x15 and 2x10 set up but recently have stopped using the 15 and still find the 2x10 giving a full sound, easier on the back as well, if I had a choice I would get a 4x10 but I never seem to see one when I have the spare cash :-)
