    How is this A4 compared to the A6 you had previously?

    How versatile is it sound-wise?

    trace elliot pre/power amp setups?

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='342150' date='Dec 1 2008, 05:53 PM']I went this way...
    Then went back to my AH300SMX.
    Too much hassle with pre-amps blowing hot & cold. Then the power amp blew up. It all spent more time OUT of the rack case than IN it!
    I ended up wanting the "Plug and play" (and work / make noise) simplicity that they Trace continues to give me!

    AND... 6u racks have a habit of getting mighty heavy, and are difficult to squeeze through a car door. If you're using a 1u pre-amp and 1u Tuner with a 2u power amp, go for a 4u instead, as they're more manoeuverable.

    Whilst rack systems can give greater flexiblity, they can also introduce a degree of complexity that can be frustrating in the event of a fault arising.
    If your head goes down mid-gig, you know you can't do much about it, and just try to borrow another.
    If you have a rack, there's a temptation to fiddle with the rat's nest of cables at the back and to try and trace (no pun intended!) the fault to one unit or another and so on...[/quote]

    thanks for that mate sensible words man.

    [quote name='BassBod' post='339514' date='Nov 28 2008, 12:30 PM']It would work fine, but think about casing the power amp seperatley - so you can use it as an add on without having to re-jig everything. The only potential problem is earth/ground loops, with a few mains powered items in contact through the rack rails, but I've never seen this with Trace stuff (it usually seems to be American stuff that suffers from this?).[/quote]

    trace elliot pre/power amp setups?

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    hi people,
    im currently using a trace 400smx head that powers too. and run usually a 4x10 off this and sometimes if i got energy to lift both cabs a 1x15 too.
    i was thinking of getting a separate power amp and separate head, as i ve read that with a power amp/ amp set up i coulkd send more pwer to my 1x15 rather than my 4x10 to get a great balance.
    is this true and would you guys recomend going for this set up?
    I just got a rack tuner so am gonna need a rack to keep that safe so was thinking of upgrading my head system,and fit it into the new rack case. think id ned a six rack , two for pre amp two for amp, 1 for tuner and one spare.
    cheers

    Feeler: Sei 4 Singlecut; 1st Series 2 - WITHDRAWN

    I think done the right thing swapping my thumb with the sei.(Added a picy of my thumb)
    i had the thumb for 17 yrs!!!!! but had a accident skiing and my shoulder is painfull wichever bas i wear but the sei sits lovely.
    ta for advice about single cut,
    i may try and sell my two fours then get some cash together for a decent 4 string the difference between my sei and my other basss is incredible, i think basses are so much more a part of a msician than other instruments as i was told that buying a hand made bass wuldnt be better than buying a standard factory bass!!!(by a giutarist).
    popycok!
    im gonna take my sei into the gallery get some new electronics put on it and maybe get martin to re-finish it as its had a few owners i think, i hope he has time for me as im not buying a new one!
    ill start saving!!!
    have another bump on me.!!!!

    Make sure you loosen the string off or better stil remove it, oh and PLEASE use the correct size spanner/screwdriver/ allen keys as you'll be well annoyed if you make a mess....!

    remember they are US made so they are AF sizes not metric.[/quote]

    [quote name='littleal' post='307088' date='Oct 15 2008, 01:57 PM']Thats what i,m gonna do, so as i said she's still up for sale :)
    my thumb was a 94 so if any of you guy's have one or similer for sale :huh:[/quote]

    its odd all this talk about warwicks.
    i love my thumb six tone and my new warwick dolphin sntcs is perfectly balanced.
    to buy new warwicks stil cost you loads ( new thumb £2300.00!)and the older ones are nicer made.
    my neck profile on my thumb 6 is super slim slimer than my 5 string and nearly as slim as my cort artisan 4 string!!!
    the bartolnis just kill anything else that ive played, yeah he neck is long but since i got the comfort strap sorted its alright . i think all makes of everything in general is a little bit cheaper at the mo as no ones got any dough!!!
    I mean check out the back of my thumb its lovely.!!
    lets hope they come back in fashion!!!!.

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='306684' date='Oct 14 2008, 09:35 PM']dude if you dont like the sei, then you dont like it, dont try n force yourself to, i think what me and others are saying is that you would be very silly to trade it for a thumb bass as the sei is worth WAY more at the moment, but if you really want a thumb again, sell the sei, pocket a load of cash AND get a thumb :)[/quote]


    mmmmmmmmmm
    me just waxed my thumb 6 89 neckthrough bartolini bass
    and cleaned the fret board!!!
    alwayws wanted a boutiqui basss!!!
    gonna wax my dolphin sntcs 5 stringier tomorrow ( Peizo brigde and brass nut)

    mmmmmm

    [quote name='chris_b' post='298498' date='Oct 3 2008, 12:12 PM']Try and hear some Bartolinis. I don't have experience of the newer pickups but I have the older versions on 2 of my basses and they sound huge, lots of fat bass oomph![/quote]


    yeah have to agree with you as i got old bartolinis on my thumb six and they blow all my other pickups away.
    on my cort i got the bartolini mk1s (i know they are a litle sub standard bartolinis ) but i am well mpressed with them.

    i got mec on my dolphin theyare nice but my lace sensors on my jazz seem a bit weak.
    ta for comments just bought some lemon oil!!!!
