A fine collection 👍

Just to add to the above, it used to play very well as I recall. It got passed around a lot among us as it was (for a time) the only bass any of us had! They were quite distinctive at the time being short scale with the 2 aside headstock. A bit of a departure from the Encore P bass copies that most people bought.

That looks very much like one an old mate of mine had. He bought it new from a catalogue in the late 80's.

That's a clever bit of kit. Thanks.

Sold a bass to Mike. Prompt payment and great communication throughout. Trade with absolute confidence 👍

I imagine it’s those 5”s in there. I know the Four10 does sacrifice a bit of top end ‘zing’ for its other benefits.

I remember that pic/thread. Very nice. Am I right in thinking you preferred the sound of the original combo?

This type (Series 6 onwards) are still available from British Audio but it's the smaller, pointed ones used up to and including the MkV that are like hens teeth. EDIT - Just to clarify, they don't look like hens teeth......

Welcome to the fold

Someone had a go at printing one for me a while ago. The shape wasn't too bad but it was rigid and brittle which didn't bode well as I needed to hollow it out further to get it to fit properly. If it could be done in a pliable material as the originals, happy days. I know on another thread this sort of stuff was mentioned: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mouldable-Polymorph-Fantastic-PlasticTM-Thermoplastic/dp/B00CAL4BRU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Yes, I’m still after one for my MkIV 😟

Thanks In the past I've used my TE heads with several BF 12" cabs (which are neo) and although very powerful and clear, it's never quite been the sound that I have in my head. This time around I've gone for the Four10 cab (the BF 10's are ceramic). The 10's are more coloured than the 12's so should give me the sound I'm after. It certainly sounds great at low levels with both this head and my others, but it'll be a while before I get the chance to try it out at a gig and properly break these speakers in.

Bought a couple of old Trace brochures off J. Great comms throughout and items exactly as described. Many thanks

Claims of what it will or won't do in the specs are pretty irrelevant to me. I bought it because they sound great, not because of the specified frequency range. All I needed to know was that it would comfortably handle everything I would ever throw at it - and it will, plus far, far more.

Yeah, I don’t think those cases were one of TE’s best design ideas. Certainly short lived anyway.

Agreed. Not sure if he’s a member on here or not tbh. I’ll give you the 3 minute warning once the neighbours are out! 😉

Thanks. Not that I can take any credit for It you understand 😂

Continuing my quest to further stress test the floorboards of my mancave, I got this today. It's lived in a full flight case for most of it's close on thirty years and as a result has fared far better than many of the others I've looked at (the 'rubberised' cases tend to have chunks missing out of them looking like they've been nibbled around the edges). Some of the grey/silver paint has worn where it's been slid in and out of the flight case and there's a very slight nick out of one of the corners but other than that it's in fine fettle. The front and back panels are immaculate with all switches, knobs, lights and sliders present and correct and working. It really is in superb nick and sounds great. No scratchy pots, all switches and sliders operate smoothly and with a quality feel to them. No unwelcome buzzing or hissing and the always on fan just spins away quietly in the background. My MkIV is the quietest running amp I've ever heard and this is just the same. So I've got the MkIV, the Series 6 and an SMX (and an Elf). Just on the lookout for a pristine MkV AH250 now and then I think I'd better call it a day. 😁

Will do 👍

You are a scholar and a gent sir. 👍 Received and greatly appreciated, many thanks.

That's the fella! Many thanks. Do you have all the pages?
