However looking at the sites all of these facilities seem vastly improved since I was last there so you're probably best checking them out for yourselves.[/quote] Many thanks for your assistance chaps, I'll get looking Cheers

Hi all I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post in and it's probably a very long shot but here goes............. Our band has recently got back together and we are currently rehearsing in a pretty dodgy former skittle alley at the back of a pub in a town in north Nottingham. Not a great deal wrong with that and to be fair it does the job. However, we have a couple of issues. 1: The pub is always empty and it looks like closure is pretty imminent. 2: We all work full time and travel from far and wide be there. The loading and unloading of the vehicles from both home and at the place itself is really eating into our precious rehearsal time. Two of the guys in the band are tradesman so have to unload their work gear out of the vans at home, load on the kit etc then reverse the process when they get home. I know this is an age old curse of being in a band but my question is can anybody recommend a rehearsal room in the Nottingham/North Nottingham area that can provide storage of equipment?? As I said, a bit of a long shot Many thanks

Both versions possess the output power of 200 W and have the tuned phase inverters. [/color] I took that from a russian website mate, hence the dodgy english, but I'm guessing it's a control for the Horn. In terms of age, I'm sure the series 6 stuff came out around 88, but I'm sure the SM stuff came out a touch later. In terms of identifying the exact year I can't help I'm afraid, but with hand written serial numbers it'll be wonderfully early.[/quote] Many thanks for that. I wasn't sure which year they stopped making them with the carpet covering etc? This has the relatively smooth vinyl covering.

Hi all I've just recently bought a Trace 7210HSM (GP7 SM 200 2 x 10 combo) and 1 x 15 ext cab from this very splendid forum However I'm after a bit of info........... Firstly, what year would this product have been made? The serial number is 677/0089/111 I think it's 111 at the end, it's all a bit squashed in there). Secondly, is there a manual to download from anywhere for this particular model? I've found the other SM manuals on the Trace site, and I know they just about cover things, but is there one that covers the high frequency volume dial on the back etc??? Cheers all

Hello again I'm afraid I've got to update my gear listing already. I was casually looking at bass amps in a local music shop when out of the corner of my eye I was seduced by an absolutely beautiful Pearl blue metallic 3 band eq Musicman Stingray. Now I've always liked (and wanted) a Stingray but have never actually got around (had the cash) to get one. Well needless to say, it was love at first sight/feel and I am now the proud owner of a long held holy grail of a bass Next thing is the new amp which is what I originally went out to look at. I'm after a combo that is smaller but louder than my current Peavey TNT115 (I now have a saloon car and although the boot is huge, the small opening makes getting the Peavey in and out without the use of goose grease quite tricky)!!!!!!!!! The Peavey TNT is the model before the red decals model. It's the one with the single horizontal silver strip along the bottom (approx 650w x 650h x 350deep). I'm thinking of possiby a Trace (obviously second hand following todays assault on the bank balance). Cheers

Hi all Well, where to start...... I started playing around about 20 years ago. Usual thing, mates played guitar but nobody played bass etc, etc. I've been playing on and off since then, some years spent on guitar, some doing nothing! Had many a bass over the years. Started with a Hohner P copy, Epiphone power bass, Aria Pro 2 thunderbird style thing (great sound but horrid shape), Fender Jazz, Wal custom that I paid £565 for from Carlsboro in Nottingham in 1993 (a 1983 model I think and it still hurts that I sold it ) a Hofner 500/3 (I think, the president shaped one. I still have 3 other Hofner six strings). A couple more P bass copies, a Squier 5 string and now a very battered but nice sounding Westone Thunder 1A! Amp wise I've had some absolute sheds but for the last few years I've had a Peavey TNT115. It's the second one I've had actually. The first one was the wedge shaped monitor version I bought at the same time as the Wal. Band wise I've done a bit of all sorts, contemporary rock and pop, 50's and 60's etc, etc. Nothing too serious but done a fair few gigs over the years. Our band is just getting back together after a break of about 4 years so the cobwebs are still somewhat attached. I'll be after some advice on gear so i'll speak to you all again very soon. Cheers
