iv used trace for years.. would never change as for me all the current offerings and lightweight stuff just dont cut it.. and nothing sounds like a trace.. im running an ah1200 head and a pair of 1015's.. heads actually still under warranty, had a fault with it last year.. but no one was interested in sorting it despite warranty, i have tried every avenue to ge hold of trace elliot to no avail for over a year now.. looks like they have gone.. not great as i paid 1200 quid for the head, plus another grand for the cabs.. sounds stunning as you would expect.. but looks like im going to have to keep it alive for a very long time as i literally cant find anything i'd replace it for..sad.. very sad..

cant comment on reliability over and above my experience.. my old one never failed.. and my new one has never missed a beat..

although its laughable described as "relatively compact"... which it really aint.. but it will stop a bull elephant at 20 yards.. take ya little eden and walk sadly away (carrying it with one hand..) :-)[/size][/font] -
old school , very heavy.. yep.. so are the cabs.. I'v been running this amp for a year now with a pair of 10/15h 4 ohm cabs.. its well built, and sounds simply stunning, huge amounts of tonal variation available, HUGE amounts of power, uttery reliable (and this runs for prob 15/20 hours a week plus gigs..) I was dubious about swapping from my 1989 t/e rig.. but i neednt have been.. forget the tiny class d amps, and small enclosures.. if your a bass player and proud, if your tone matters.. deal with lugging this around.. I cannot praise the thing hihly enough.. only issue i have is that the tolex covering is a bit easy to mark.. bring back the green carpet..
personally I'd forget the 1x18, depending on your style.. I found a 1x15 plus 4x10 perfectly fine.. but honestly the 10/15's together are incredible.. go test drive oneif your not sure.. but you'll want it..

Tried one just out of interest.. sounds nothing like a trace.. i'll not be deserting my back breaking ah1200 12 and pair of 1015's anytime soon.
