    OK here's the speaker showing the surround - looks standard to me And here's the damage The edge of the driver seems to be loose around a lot of the edge, I'm a bit hacked off with Thomann as I've emailed three people there since sunday and no one's responded. The price you pay for cheap gear I suppose!

    Being a cheapskate, I bought a pair of active subs (the box 12A) from Thomann. One of the drivers has torn and needs replacing. I may get this done under warranty but to be honest - I've lost faith in them a bit. Would it be feasible to replace them with something easily available, that will sound good? I've had a look at the driver, and there's no manufacturers name on it, but it's labelled as 4 ohm, and the spec for the whole speaker rate it at 300W output, so I'm assuming the speaker is rated at least that. I don't really understand about enclosure design, X max and all that, so can anyone recommend a driver to do the job. I was thinking along the lines of an eminence delta 12LF 4 ohm (around £50 - 60 each) - would that be suitable? Suggestions please but can't spend a fortune!

    Hi Graham - yes it's still available. Be aware that you need to be careful with the resistance of extension cabs used with this as it gives all it's 250W into it's own speakers at 4 ohms. The extension cab out is wired in series so if you add an 8 ohm cab - it drops power - but you can add multiple cabs making it louder due to the extra speaker surface area. On it's own - it's pretty pokey, and has a control to boost the lows and highs to make it fairly 'modern' sounding. It's also got as parametric control that i use to either dial out bad room vibes, or add a bit of high mid for 'clicky' rock attack. Copes fine with a loud drummer in medium sized halls.

    Bump

    This is quite topical for me - I depped for Richard on friday night as part of "Giles Hedley and the Aviators". It was a real honour to fill this guys shoes - and a top gig to boot. Giles is an awesome blues guitarist/singer/harp player - don't miss him if you get the chance to see him!

    Just to say that I use one of these as a PA power amp for bigger gigs running one side at 2 ohms for the subs, and the other for the tops a 4 ohms - and it's great. Been totally reliable and plenty of welly. I get the impression that Behringers power amps don't suffer from the reliability problems or misleading power ratings of some of their other stuff. Free bump!

    OK - well that's a bit of good news for us Traceaholics!!

    I emailed these guys the other day asking where I could get a UV tube for my Trace (now found!). Didn't hear a jot back from them.

    [b][/b]Due to a re - evaluation of my setup, a number of items have come up for sale - all available for collection from Milton Keynes: [b]Eden Nemesis NC210[/b] - specs here - [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/22820"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/fl...roduct_id/22820[/url] 250 Watt 2 x 10 combo - nice and punchy with built in compression, 'enhance' control, 3 band eq plus additional parametric control. A few light scuffs from gigging but otherwide good condition - £300 [b]Marshall IBS[/b] (irritable bowel syndrome?!) [b]400 Bass head[/b] 2 x 200W Bi ampable mosfet head in a rather sw***y ornate wooden sleeve (needs some TLC). I've used this once at a rehearsal and it worked fine - pretty loud for 200W. I've never used the bi amp facilities, and it could probably do with a service. Rack handles are broken - includes the all essential manual! I bought this for £150 recently, but then picked up a Trace head which has made it redundant - looking to recoup my outlay. [b]SOLD[/b][b]Roland Bass Cube 100[/b] In good condition apart from a few scuffs on the handle. You know what these things do! £150[b]SOLD[/b] If people definately want to buy, I can bring these to the bass bash next sunday. Here's the pics -

    [quote name='mr pablo' post='162618' date='Mar 24 2008, 01:23 PM']I used to be the same until I was reading and article somewhere about building up fret hand stamina or something like that and it basicaly said to string up a spare bass with heavier strings so if you practiced using the spare and went back to your main bass you would be able to play it easier. I tried it and after a wee while I decided that the heavier strings felt better and went with that ever since[/quote] Think I'm gonna try that. It's usually roto swing bass 105's for me, fingerstyle rock and funk. Do most of you slappers prefer lighter strings?
  15. King Tut
    Can we make this thread more usefull by saying what type of music we use the strings for - ie - are light strings better for slap etc??
  16. King Tut
    Will a standard fender jazz neck fit this body? What's it made of?
  17. King Tut
    Thanks so much guys - saved me a lot of hassle - btw - this amp just so kicks - I lurve it!!

    [quote name='queenofthedepths' post='158272' date='Mar 16 2008, 12:47 AM']I accept your first point, but I still think the bass (and the paintbrushes and for that matter Martin Luther King's toothbrush) has historical importance - the point is that in our imaginations, it provides a connection to Jaco and the music he played on that bass... with that in mind, another example: a piece of the true cross is just a lump of wood (not even a bass!) and Jesus would have been nailed up just as efficiently on any other cross - it wasn't even specially made for Jesus or selected by him; but a mundane object associated with someone special is invested with historical interest, which is why Jaco's bass is an artifact which can fuel our imaginations if we want it to[/quote] +1 on that. A piece of the true cross - wow - here we are likening the basis of a way of life to ....errr... the basses of a way of life..... I really shouldn't post in the early hours when I've had too much to drink hee hee... hic!

    Just thought I'd pop on to say....I've got a similar Crafter - and it's a complete gas to play, lovely bass - when I get her out I can noodle for hours. Sounds spookily like a double bass as well!

    Blimey - are Trace Elliot heads like busses? Been looking for one for a while then 2 come along in 3 days both locally. Had to stand Beedster up on his as I've just picked up a series 5 - 11 band AH250 and a 1510 cab all for a stupidly silly price. Sorry mate - have a free bumparoo!
