Some bad jazz is bad but thats bad jazz - its like judging classical music on the basis of Bond or Myleene Klass. Classical musicians are trained in exactly the opposite way to jazz musicians and many classical musicians can't play jazz (I had to call the Principal Bassist from the BBC Welsh Symphony orchestra in as a dep once and he was shocking - the bands view not mine). More to the point, they don't [i]understand [/i] it and are critical of it until they do. Then they realise that it is as demanding as anything they achieve as musicians. There is a great book called 'Music of the Common Tounge' by Christopher Small that explains it very well - I really recommend you and your brother read it. Brand X are probably not jazz per se; jazz rock? fusion? Prog. rock even? Not sure but there is a significant body of critics and musicians that would balk at the suggestion that Brand X and Duke Ellington played in the same genre.[/quote] Our old Keyboard player who was probably the best pianist Ive ever seen and had a doctorate in music from the RCM. He used to be a big jazz piss taker, even though he was guilty of playing it for a living. His most common saying was "is in tune"? "its good enough for Jazz"

nah its too wide, 24 inches in fact Oh well I think I will just swap it for a cab and use the ashdown

It does slide out. You just remove the four bolts from the top. Although looking at it I am wondering whether it might be too wide. As you can see below It has vents at the ends so the panel looks longer than yours, I will have to measure it. The Speaker chasis isn't the original. I replaced it about 6 months ago with a 300 watt Mackenzie. Ive bought an Ashdown off the market place on here. Its in a 6 unit rack & I'm picking it up on sat morning. If I can put my trace in with it along with a tuner and a 31 band graphic I will be over the moon

Iv'e just emailed them asking if I can order one from them directly. I added my mail address at the bottom just in case they decide to send me one

I noticed just now that I have lost the red cap off the volume knob, it must have fell off at a gig over the weekend. Anyone know where I could get one of these? Its an older model 7125 SM 300. I doubt Trace Elliott would have one but surely there must be one somewhere

Has that trace got seprate rack ears on it or are they part of the front panel?

That looks exactly like the amp in My Trace Combo. It has given me an idea. I could take it out of the cab and rack it instead of selling it, I never thought of that, then I would have two rack amps just case one goes down. Good thinkin Batman

If its good enough for Stanley its good enough for me
