Hi guys girls and those that can go either way!!! just got a trace 150watt@8ohms Horn box NOT a 4x5 bright box its obviously suited to the last trace cabs (small ones). so do i just plug it in like this;- jack out from amp into my main cab then out of the link of the cab into the input of the horn cab? and am i plugging my stack in properly;- jack out from amp head to input of 1st cab then link to link to the other cab? and ( i just thought of this) does the 1st cab i plug in from the head get more power 1st? now heres another question! (sorry);- can i use all three cabs without another head? and would a 4x5 200watt bright box sound better than the horn box? kindest regards ziggy/john.

i bought my full trace rig about 10/15 yrs ago rah400smx,carpet coverd 1x18=4x10 vynyl coverd 9and the cabs were very tatty) £ 650.00 sold them and got two 4x10h, sold one 4x10h, then got a 1x15 plus my 4x10h, just got a 2x10h, and hopefully a bright box on the way so i can now have any combination i like! phew! but ive always kept my 400smx head its just the nuts, cut out twice (think it overloaded) in around 10/15 yrs i didnt realise how good it sounded untill a bass player got up and done a few numbers throuhg ,my rig the thing punched through a long way into the crowd. so now im gonna get (if money allows me ) another trace head to power the two cabs separately. i love my trace (and i have a wife tracy without the e!!!). ps i went to the gallery to change my whole set up and i was advised just to change the cabs NOt the Head. and if you get a smx head the compressoer is the nuts dude1

The 'standard' scale is 34" and know as 'long scale'. The Trace Elliott strings will probably be for a 34" scale instrument and won't stretch to fit 35" scale. Measure the scale length as suggested previously and then search for the right string length. I think you'll find it very difficult to get a 6 string set. You could give Martin at the Bass Gallery a ring to find out if he can recommend strings to fit. Good luck[/quote] hi everyone, measured the scale and its 35 inch! ill put the bass in to the gallery and get it set up etc, thank you for youre time once again. ziggy.

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='960774' date='Sep 18 2010, 09:33 PM']I remember going to a music fair at wembley in the early 90's. Bought a few sets of Trace headless cheap, I had a lot of trouble tring to fit them into my washburn.I thought that all headless strings were the same(doh!) Obviously not[/quote] hmmm i think the sei may be longer than 34 but they are long scale double ball ends sorry to be a knob but how do you measure the scale of a bass?

yea i got a chech 4 ita lovely, wana try and get a five but themn ill have two fivers is that too indulgent , although the spectors seem to be used alot in rock! ta for replys, although as i said you can get a custom build second hand on here for 1000/1500 so is it worth waiting till a nice custom comes along? !!!!!

ha yeap great answer i had a warwick thumb and a dolphin sn5 with a peizo, shame my thumb was neck heavey but i do miss the balance of my dolhpin!!!!

the topic says it all!! i have a euro lx 4, with the chech tonepump in it and its beutiful, its an old one so it has solid maple wings. just wondered why second hand a fives are still worth 800 to a grand as a basic model and are they woorth the money ? (seeing as there are shukers,yamahas etc from 500 to 13000 quid on here) ha now im asking are the american spectors that much better?

used my spector last night and the baby just was awesome, i wont be Degrading the circutary!!! and am now on the look out for a nice spector 5 string!!!!!! happy days

im gonna be playing my chech spector on sat for the first time live! through my new trace 2x10 cab with my old smx400 head and my 1x15, i was thinking of upgrading the circutpry but now think ill be degrading it soo im gonna leave well be, !!!! thanks for info
