Hi Lisa which bass players do you like?

[quote name='thomas' post='87245' date='Nov 12 2007, 12:11 PM']Electric Amp only sell direct in the USA, you'd have to get it shipped over and I'm pretty sure there are fair waiting times for the bigger cabinets, they don't come cheap either. Look for a 2nd hand Orange/Matamp 8x10 and it may sound and look similar, then whack a bunch of new speakers in it to handle the power. Realistically though I'd recommend a 2x15 and a different 4x10 for the volume you seem to be going for. That or make a DIY cab and put what speakers you want in it, and although I don't use BFM cabs for bass playing I'd say give them a look to.[/quote] Hi Thomas, your avatar makes me feel sick. Is that supposed to be a representation of you smoking weed? Speaking from massive experience, I personally feel that no one needs to alter their state to appriciate life in all its beauty and horror. Drugs are bad, n'o kay.

Did your dad go to school in Birkenhead?

8 ohms. Your internal speakers in the combo are 8 ohms, so to get your full power out of the amp you need 4 ohms, that means you need a 8 ohm cab to add to your 8 ohm combo load. 8+8 divided by 4 = 4ohms.

It will more than likely be a 300w at 8 ohms cab, as most of Traces early ones were like that. As I remember you would use a 250 head with 2 cabs and a 500w head with 4 cabs a la Mark King. So it's probably only 300w. Hope that helps you. P.S. your avatar is cool.

I recommend buying a Precision, a Squier would be ok, I got mine for £100, 1995 model + a £40 gig bag thrown in. New bone nut, EMG's, new Gotoh bridge, stoned the frets myself and set it up with DR strings, £230 all in and a brilliant precision was born. Sounds the biz, Stranglers, Pink Floyd, Bruce Thomas, Mr Jamerson, its all there.

lovely apples mate.

+1, everything he said.

Dan, my favourite band, after the Beatles. They played at the Summer Pops in Liverpool this year, I danced my ass off all night. Freddie Washington was great but disappointed that I didn't get to see Tom Barney.West of Hollywood, what a sublime piece of sax sex.

Me three. I love Tom, what a gifted musician. I saw him at the Phil in Liverpool, I nearly sh*t my keks,(if anyone has seen Squarepusher live, you'll know what I mean )

Back in 1988 I had a Marshall Jubilee head and a Jubilee 4x10 cab. It was a 200w head and it sounded ok, just ok. I had come from owning a Mc Gregor 200w bass head with HH 2x15" cab which at the time I thought sounded great, this is what I started with, to then owning a Peavey Combo 300, which looking back was brilliant. I then tried the Jubilee head thrigh a Peavey 1820 cab, 1x18" with 2x10" speakers, not good, and it weighed about 150lb! The Marshall Jubilee head was, looking back , weedy, lacking in bottom, lacking in mids and had clanky harsh highs and this was using a JD Mark King. Maybe using different cabs and a passive bass would have a different effect.
