Yes have tried that. If my understanding is correct.... both cabs 8ohm, sending each side of the 1600w power amp to 8ohm give 800 per side @ 8ohms, so the cabs do not get their full capacity? The cabs are rated at 800w. Is there any technical difference running them on one channel each, as opposed to daisy chaining them on one channel, therefore giving a 4ohm resistance?

If you don't mind collecting it - in Bilston, so Midlands, which is where you are - this - Trace Elliot Bass Amp, GP12SMX, AH400SMX  | eBay - is on the Bay at the moment. Looks in good shape - even the sliders have all their knobs. I was tempted for old times sake (I had the AH350), but mustn't buy any more gear. 

Cheers Dan I saw this plus our band lock up is in Bilston! But I’ve decided to go back to lightweight gear so purchased a GK MB 212 today. Should be good for rehearsals and backline when we can all get back out in the road 

Hey dudes. I’m looking for a new back line and have been shopping around while looking at different options. But have to keep an eye on the $$$. Is anyone selling any trace gear? I may be interested. Cheers

If you are running a mono signal out into a dedicated power amp to run full range, would it not be just as easy to use the send/return - pre/power of a regular bass amp?  You bypass the preamp and just have power but with the added advantage that anything going Pete Tong with your Helix, you can still continue the gig with the bass amp.  

Yep could do. It’s an option. Just thinking of the best way to get decent on stage monitoring that’s simple to take care of when our engineer isn’t with us. 

Exactly @la bam 🤘

@pburrows Didn't you have a QSC 12.2?  Did that not work in this situation?

I did but I’m selling it on. It’s very good but doesn’t have enough grunt for me personally. I’ve used it for monitoring on a couple of live stream shows and it performed well but I want to get something that hits a bit harder for a tour that is booked for the autumn. So gonna list the QSC

Dudes. Does anyone have experience with running a modeller to FOH (I use Helix) while sending a signal to a power amp/bass cab for backline? If so what power amp would you recommend to pair with a Barefaced Super Twin?

PJB Superflightcase?

Thanks but need something that is solid for gigging backline 

Putting the feelers out to see if anyone is interested in trading a compact bass amp or cab for an immaculate QSC12.2.
 

it’s been used for a handful of rehearsals so basically as new. Comes with the QSC tote bad included. 
 

What you got in exchange in dudes. 

Swapped out from my limited edition Tony Franklin P bass. Price includes postage. 

I tried 735 and 745 but felt the qsc had the best sound overall. The 745 is probably louder but I think the tone may get lost in the overall on-stage mix. The QSC seemed to have more mid-punch

Yay, welcome to the QSC (Quite Small Club).

😁

I just got from PMT in Birmingham and tried out several powered speakers. Yamaha, RCF, ALTO, QSC. 

The QSC 12.2 was hands down winner for me. Nice mids which will cut through on stage and seems like plenty of power.

New Laney powered cab, thinking of getting this for the Stomp, and selling my bass amp and my Marshall guitar amp. Similar to Line 6 powercab but half the price.

Do you think it would be good for bass or is it a guitar cab?

Where are you in the Midlands? You are welcome to try my QSC K12.2.

Awesome. I’m south Birmingham 

Dudes. I’ve been following this for a while now. I’m ready to start seriously looking at a powered wedge for stage monitoring. As I now seem to be playing larger stages I have recent moved to IEMs but would also like the option of a speaker on stage, both as an option for me and the others in the band. 
 

I don’t use helix or similar but I run 2 rack mounted Sansamps. Do you think a QSC would be a suitable solution for what I’m looking for? Im thinking I would go to FOH from the sansamp with another 1/4inch jack to the powered wedge. 

Stunning Yamaha SPX 90 II Reverb / Effects. Excellent condition. Fully tested and ready to go. Some very minor markings to the case where it has been put in and out of the rack. The front panel is in excellent condition and lights up perfectly. This gives the most amazing 80s vintage sound to your bass!  Comes with original packaging and box.

The Yamaha SPX90 is the first rackmount FX unit to achieve world dominance. Prior to the SPX90, racks contained nothing but expensive gear that did one or two effects but, post-SPX, everyone could afford a multi-fx unit – so everyone bought one

The SPX was, and still is, a great little fx unit. It has a selection of very usable plates & halls plus gated reverb, early reflection reverb programs and delays. It also has a number of fairly basic pitch change presets plus panning, vibrato, parametric EQ and a compressor. Of these, the reverbs (halls, plates, rooms) are the most useful. But the best bit of the SPX90 is the wide selection of chorus / flanger / phaser effects on offer, particularly Symphonic

Symphonic is a great, deep chorus effect like a Dimension D on steroids. It can be subtle, like a Dimension D, or tweaked to create an over-the-top chorus with lots of pitch changing. It’s great for widening synth basses, warming up the low end of tracks, adding movement to a Rhodes patch or thickening acoustic guitars

If you don’t like Symphonic, there are Phaser, Flanger, Tremelo and other time-based effects, all of which are easily editable

Firing up an SPX90 some thirty years later it’s intriguing to find that it sounds as good as ever, with a warm, wide sound full of character. Early outboard gear and effects are much in demand at the moment and – on the evidence of the SPX90 – it’s easy to see why

Shock-protected Flight Case rack. Excellent condition with little use. Spotlessly clean. - 9mm black laminated plywood construction. - 1" (25mm) thick foam cushion layer offers maximum protection. - Front and rear rack strip. - Heavy duty butterfly clasps secure lids. - 4 x riveted ball corners on each lid. - Foam lined lids to protect equipment front and rear. - Sprung handles with foam grasp. - 4 x heavy duty castors (2 braked) bolted to thick wheelboard. I live near Jcn 2 M42, but can meet within a reasonable distance of B487BP.

Dropping the price of this dudes.... Now £495

Classic, powerful Trace Elliot 350w GP12 SMX amp head. Truly fabulous sound. Clean, driving power. It sounds epic! UV light works perfectly. All in good working order. I'll be sad to see this go but needs a new owner to give it the justice it deserves. I live near Jcn 2 M42, but can meet within a reasonable distance of B487BP.

Dudes, I have a Tony Franklin Precision Bass which has the PJ configuration. I am considering putting in a Seymour Duncan QP as the neck pick up as I want a harder hitting sound. Is it possible to swap on the neck pick up and leave the bridge pick up as supplied? Are there any downsides to doing that? Cheers.

Here's a pick of my bass for reference 

Hi dudes. Does anyone have any experience using UM 30s in a live stage environment? I’m making my first moves into IEM. 

Cheers.
