    [quote name='clashcityrocker' timestamp='1333057236' post='1596915'] I want! If I sell my bass and or amp I will be in touch. Is the f500 a 'loud' 500w thru this cab?if you get me,as some brands seem to be quieter than others Si [/quote] Loudness is dependant upon what EQ you like. Any amp will run out of headroom if you dial in loads of deep bass. I've not needed to go over half way with the F500 with any of my cabs but YMMV. I tend to run all my MB heads with almost no EQ adjustments, they just sound like your bass. I do have a VT Bass pedal which I use for more overdrive valvey stuff.

    [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1333019097' post='1596197'] Great amps. The SA450 was my favourite head, now i long for a F500 :-( [/quote] Yes the F500 is a brilliant combination of the F1 character and the SA450s features (plus mute facility). Buy, buy, buy

    [quote name='clashcityrocker' timestamp='1332919913' post='1594745'] Just wondering,how does a 6ohm cab work out with a head of min. 4ohm? And bump for a beast of a cab [/quote] As long as the cab has a higher impedance than the 4 ohm minimum allowed by the head all is fine. The head will output more watts into a 4 ohm 4x10 cab, but the extra cone area of the 6 x10 will make it louder.

    **************SOLD********************SOLD********************** This is the full width head which overhangs my small cabs, hence the sale. It's a brilliant head with very flexible EQ. I've got a MAG 600 narrow width which is why this is for sale for only £100 ono. That's only 33.33p per watt of Brit rock power!!! Collection from Harlow, Essex.

    WITHDRAWN - Used this cab last night and came to conclusion It's way too good to sell for the price of a decent night out WITHDRAWN - Great heads and cab in good condition with Roqsolid cover for cab. Too much gear forces sale. F500 plus cab only £ collected from Harlow, Essex. SA450 plus cab only £ collected from Harlow, Essex. Cab on its own £. Heads not for sale on their own, sorry. Head in photo is SA450, the F500 is as new. Cheers, Mark Cab specs:- [attachment=103479:STD106HR.jpg] IMPEDANCE 6 ohms SPEAKER SIZE 6x10 in.

    I think Trace heads were designed to be clean sounding and the valve is intended to give warmth. I was never able to drive the valve to break up. Plus I have a Warwick with active MEC jazz pups and their output is the same as passives until you add bass and treble from the onboard preamp. Actives are not always that hot.

    Try to audition a Tech21 VT Bass pedal, It will give you a whole new palette of rock tones and works a treat with LM heads.

    If you crank up the bass EQ on the amp (and bass) is it still struggleing to get the ok led flashing? Adding bass is the easiest way to drive an input stage harder. Ashdown heads input levels are affected greatly by the heads EQ settings and your Trace may be similar.

    [quote name='Who's Who' timestamp='1329463124' post='1542732'] Danny I would strongly recommend not to get the 1x15, but add a second 4x10. Not only is it no ideal to mix speaker sizes, but the Hydrive 1x15 just isn't the greatest of cabs. The 4x10 is a much better cab and goes a lot louder than the 1x15. It would be a much better rig to go for two of the 4x10's. If Sparky Mark is redaing this then he'll agree with me as he used to have the full Hydrive rig and also wish'd he'd gone for two of the 1x15's. [/quote] Cheers Sam, I had the LH1000, but could never get on with the passive tone stack controls. I also had the HX410 and Hx115 cabs and would recommend 2 of the 410s for a monster rig. One of the 410s could handle a loud gig on its own whereas the 115 couldn't. I personally prefer the greater tonal flexibility of the HA Hartke heads, but if you like the LH tone it could be a winner. Sold my LH and still have my old 3500. I would recommend you try a Markbass LM2 or LM3, they are great heads and drive the HX410s a treat. Mark

    Thanks Guy, but with basses I really like to try before buying. Cheers, Mark

    Just take a short (patch) lead out of the Tuner out socket into the input socket of your tuner pedal with no connections from the tuner output socket. I just stand my tuner on top of the amp.
