    Interesting that you found the BF cab to be significantly less efficient than the Trace.

    I think I understand what you are saying, but with the amp gain, master output and volume control on your bass (plus any other pedals if used) any volume can be obtained from any rig IME.

    Congratulations on an interesting TE amplifier system. One thing confused me from the photos; why aren't the left and right line out patches connected to the left and right line in sockets of the RA300? I really hope they aren't connected to speaker outputs!
  4. Sparky Mark
    I think it's just a pre amp, hence why it's paired with the RA300.

    I'd hold out for a 12 band graphic head.

    Thank you for the bump.

    My Bugera SVT CL clone is still going strong (at home) and keeps me convinced tube power has a certain something special. Unfortunately, unless I play a gig in my own back garden, I doubt it'll be used in anger (in my lifetime!).

    Yes, it's Lenspeed; I've had experience of them. They are great for moving expensive kit and instruments, but not economical at this price point unfortunately.

    Someone should grab this bargain fast as production has moved to Poland and they now cost 310.80€. The rigidity and protection these cases offer are head and shoulders above other plastic shell cases.

    It could also be worth considering the Total Harmonic Distortion level at both those stated RMS outputs. If the Trace output was increased so its THD matched the other amp, it may be closer to the 500 watts. (I wonder if an amplifier expert could comment please?).

    I do agree Tom, but without the original packaging, I'd be concerned about sending this out into courier world. I also much prefer potential buyers to confirm they are happy with the item in person before they purchase. However, if a buyer would be prepared to arrange collection by their preferred courier I could source appropriate packaging.

    That's the only Warwick I'd be tempted by in addition to my Thumb.

    Do you still have the Dolphin?
  16. Sparky Mark
    Absolutely not, but what are you wanting to achieve; a lighter weight?

    To be honest, they usually are.

    64 TSB for me.

    Do you have the screws that should be in the machineheads as per the below photo?

    This was my TE combo on cab tower.

    This old TE head sounds amazing through my Bergantino ceramic magnet driver cabs.

    The Musicman Retro '70s StingRay Bass is exactly that. I bought my pre EB Ray new in 1981 and the original 2 band preamp is much less refined than more modern versions. I understand the retro model has that more "in your face" delivery, as evidenced by many YouTube videos.
  24. Sparky Mark
    Yeah, but they don't make tort like that anymore.

    I think the main reason is to reduce the weight of the bridge and the overall weight of the latest Special Stingrays. The machine heads are also a reduced size lightweight design. As long as the bridge plate is well secured to the body there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in sustain. The classic pre EB bridge looks great but probably weighs twice what is necessary.
