[quote name='H the Bass' post='1349206' date='Aug 23 2011, 05:23 PM']It is indeed 4 x 12 blackbacks and i am informed prefered by Jimi Hendrix[/quote] And introduced only 4 years after he died!

These are bullet proof, so popular with practice rooms. On the one hand, practice room owners are always cashless. On the other hand, they buy new Ashdown stuff and it always gets trashed/fries from hours of diming. Worth a phone/email around with a clear price?

4x12, no?

If they were bigger, you couldn't lift them.... Mains trannie [attachment=87536:power_trans.JPG] Output trannie [attachment=87535:output_trans.JPG]

They look like this.... [attachment=87524:front.JPG] [attachment=87525:back.JPG] [attachment=87528:inside.JPG]

Got one, too. Great, they are. Quite cab friendly, I put it through a JCM800 15+2x10. Or a pair of 1984 model 4x12s with 80w drivers. Or a JCM800 2x15 with Sidewinders, All good, Indeed.

I think Orkney needs the Mk4 AH250 and 810 cab. Mind you, the whales that will come to bask in the LF might beach at low tide...?!?!?

restablishing this in the hierarchy

'Only' 400w. Old Trace watts. Jeez. That's...um...loud...

Petersons are great. Old design still going strong.

The powered cab is a dedicated top cab. The Scorpion drivers do not do bass, really. But when you put it on a TNT, a Combo 115 or Combo 300, it adds another dimension. Also works as backup monitor. You can get practice sounds with a preamp straight in. Also works as a passive guitar cab.

Got the same setup - and many,many more Trace rigs... ...and many non-Trace... ...and combos... ...and... Just sayin' how great this rig is!

How great are these! £250 would be fair for the head alone...

Clean ones. Guitar player note: put your Mesa V-Twin in front as the preamp 1x12 cab behind it and there ya go! Screaming gainey gigfest!

Anyone with a Fender bass deserves a go through this. That said, the front end is v forgiving = happy with an active summat. Demos easily arranged (as long as you come to me).

Bumping this back into life!
