BassmanPaul

Mine was made by a US company named Carvin. I have six or seven from the company. They have all functioned flawlessly. I doubt whether they are available to European purchasers. I also have three six string basses from them and a bolt on five string I built from their parts. Edit: Looks like they don't offer power amps any more.

But do they all move in the same direction at the same time?

If you are turning up the bass control you are asking for trouble because the drivers will NOT be able to handle boosted bass and higher power levels.

If you are using I/4" Phone plugs for your speaker connections, connect both cabinets together then apply a 9V battery across the tip and sleeve of the jack. You should hear a thump from both cabinets. Watch the cones in both cabinets and make sure that they all move in the same direction at the same time. If one moves in and the other out they'll never work happily together.

Are both cabinets working with the same polarity and what impedances are they?

We no longer can edit our posts. Trying to click the X in the top corner no longer works. OK found the Edit in the pull down.

As Trace Elliot is now Peavey VOX is now Korg. Gone are the days when playing through a VOX made you feel like you're getting somewhere in the music business.

For myself I like my amplifiers to be simple. I use clip on tuners so no need for a built in tuner. To mute my system I pull the instrument cable plug out of the amp's input jack slightly so no mute needed. UV lights are just used to illuminate panel markings. I did very much like the electro luminescent panel from the HH IC100 series amps. I though it was cool. I don't use rack effects so an effects loop is wasted on me.

Well I wish you luck with that then.

If you are concerned about weight why not consider a Class D stereo power amp? They are available everywhere. They are light, cheapish and you can just use one channel if you wish. my main bass amp is a 2KW capable Class D amp with a lil' tube preamp I built for it. Both together in a 4U SKB rack case I can pick the thing up with just two fingers.

Is there ANYTHING that you don't do yourself old friend? LOL

It sounds like you are a happy camper! Way to go!!

I think you'll find that most Class D amplifiers use MOSFets as their output devices.

I hope it serves you well!!

That is a true fact!!

In 1968 I bought a brand spanking new Fender Bassman with it's twin 12 cabinet. It looked beautiful set up on stage. It sounded horrible. I suffered through the two gigs that weekend and returned it as soon as I could. The store, Dawson's in Runcorn Cheshire, had sold my Epiphone Constellation trade in but I left the Fender there anyway. I put together a rig from a Marshall bent front 4x12 and a Leak TL50 Plus valve power amp I bought for five quid. I built a little single 12AX7 preamp for it and used it very successfully. Those KT88s sounded great! LOL

I would agree that 50W could be made to work through a set of JBLs That said who used JBLs back then?

A 50W amp was not enough to play a gig with in 1968 let alone nowadays unless all you want is distortion.. The power for my amp comes from a 2000W Class D stereo power amp. The tube pre-amp I designed for it sounds Wonderfull!

What about the Fender Rumble range. They have a good reputation over here in the Americas. I played through a Rumble 350 2x10 and was pleasantly surprised in how well it handled my fretless six string. It's the first Fender bass amp I actually liked.

Speaker cables??

In all honesty I feel that a player will not be able to tell the difference between this cable and a length of lamp cable with 1/4" Phone plugs on each end!

As long as it doesn't lead to a padded cell!

300W into a single 10 with bass? I can foresee a blown driver in your future!!

Retrofit a SpeakOn to the cabinet. I changed all of my speaker cables to SpeakOns years ago.

It's not from Trace Elliot it's a Peavey product.
