The manual for my Trace 2 x 10 says that it will happily take twice the RMS rated power so long as it is not clipping. problems occur when people clip their amps by driving them too hard - which then shags (technical term!) the speaker. Another example - my PA speakers - Wharfedale Titan 12's are rated at 250 W RMS. Wharfedale recommend using a 500W amp to drive them. Let your ears be the judge - if they start to fart and flap, you're driving them too hard.

Thanks paul - I'm already in touch with Sparky - I think he's after something a little smaller! -
[b]One now sold - one available[/b] One 'no name' 1 x 15 bass cab / sub - not sure what they're supposed to be - but they sound pretty meaty! Well used and the handles are a bit iffy - 200W 8 ohm 'Zomax' drivers Bargain price of £40 collected from Milton Keynes ! I've got 4 of these - two with 4 ohm drivers in - which I'm keeping - I used one of the 4 ohm jobs as an extension to my nemesis 2 x 10 combo at a gig recently and had loads of comments about how good it sounded. This needs a good home soon! -
[b][/b]Hi there Some recent acquisitions have left me free to let go of my Trace speaker stack which comprises a 1 x15 'Multistack' and a 2 x10. The 1 x 15 is old and a well used but basically sound. It's fitted with castors and an eminence Delta 15 LF speaker - 500W 8 ohms - although I can supply it with the 4 ohm version. The XLR sockets are there but not currently wired in, although it wouldn't be difficult to do this. Jacks work fine [b] Sold [/b]The 2 x 10 is newer and in better condition apart from two tears in the carpet on the top - pictured. [b]Sold[/b] [b]Open to offers on the 1 x 15 collected from Milton Keynes or can bring to the bass bash[/b]

Simon - Did you get the email I sent you regarding this? Col -
I like boss stuff - it sounds rich and deep to me. So I bought a GT6B - I thought it would be like a pedal version of the pre on my cube 100B. But the compressors seem to be so harsh - even with only a little sustain. Any tips/settings/thoughts anyone? If only it had a 'cube 100B Compressor' setting! Thanks in anticipation. Col

Played at a benefit where Tom Robinson was headlining. After I played, he came over and told me "nice bass playing mate". His own set (a solo set) was superb. Fast forward a few years, and the guitarist i had been playing with passed on - Tom came and played a couple of acoustic numbers at his funeral - nice one!

The Zoom pedal is a superb piece of kit - I've tgried numerous 'big' boards but still keep coming back to my 708 - have a free bump matey - I'm tempted to have it myself as a spare!! Col

Don't succumb - don't succumb - look into my eyes - don't look around the eyes. I spend my life hung up on gear to the detriment of being hung up on music/theory/technique - the latter is far more important - concentrate on that dude!

Cheers Burpster - looked on their site but couldn't find what I wanted - maybe I should ring them!

[quote name='spree' post='75295' date='Oct 16 2007, 10:20 PM']Little Mark doesnt, the LMK is a different model with two channels[/quote] Ahh - I see - said the blind man. Stupid me!! Should have known being a Markbass user....derrrr Col

I use a Sennheiser Freeport radio system and use a rechargeable NiMH all the time. I just recharge it after every gig. I make sure to turn the transmitter off between sets. Maplins are currently knocking out 3 200MAh PP3s (NiMH rechargeable) for a tenner. A 'no brainer' if you ask me!

Looking for a 250Klog blend pot for a Fender P that's been converted to PJ. WD have got one but it's a bit pricey when you factor in postage - for what you're getting. Any suggestions? Cheers Col

Try sticking on a new E string - and leaving more string to wind on the post - so it goes right down. I've got an MM5 - superb bass for the dosh if you pick a good un!

I didn't think the Little Mark had two channels. Col

It was me who picked up the RBX 270 - I've had 3 basses from them............ First an Ibanez SR900 - it was mint, listed at £300, I knocked them down to £260. Second was a well used but perfectly good Westone Thunder 1A plus fender hard case for £99. And the best was the RBX 270 for £25. Perfect working order but heavily scratched. I sanded it down and waxed it, shielded the cavity and sold it to a mate for £50. The markup wasn't to make a profit - simply reflected a new set of strings and some labour - and it was a wicked bass. I was so impressed with the quality, I've just bought a BB614. Our local store has a very interesting looking 'Asama' bass - original body shape with a maple neck that is a bit bowed - I'm tempted!! Anyone heard of thes? Anyway - in answer to the original post - yes - you can definately find some bargains in Crack Converters!!

[quote name='bass_in_ya_face' post='64755' date='Sep 24 2007, 02:05 PM']why do I never find anything like that? What do you use to remove the scratches?[/quote] Well I never just removed the scratches - I took all the original finish of with a sander for the flat bits, and sandpaper followed by wire wool for the curvy bits. Then i waxed it mant times with beeswax - probably not the most enduring of finishes but it looks nice. Sold it on today, gonna deliver it later this afternoon - didn't make much on it but at least it's been rescued, and a new player will benefit from it.
