My Hexavalve with BF cab.....

Not last night, but today. Played outside the Powell arms in birtchington, it's under new management. We played outside to a large crowd, went down a storm!!!

I thought that was a good read!

I'm afraid you are chief, I'm afraid you are....

Bought a PA loom office Mike, great price, good comm's and fast delivery, would buy from again...

Meh.

Looking good!

Trace Elliott commando. Terrible amp.

Never really been a fan of Lets Dance, however, we covered it in a pub last week and it rocked!

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1459843648' post='3020092'] Is this correct? I've been advised by several people (including the chap I've bought it off) that the Hexa will run into an 8 ohm cab providing that the switch is set to 4 ohms. If it was set to 2 ohms, it would kill the head, but set to 4 ohms it would be fine. There's an interesting thread on Talkbass which states the same I.e. as long as you're no more than 100% out (e.g. set to 4 but running into an 8 ohm cab) it will be fine. I'm going to be switching back to a 4 ohm, one cab solution anyway, but just for my own knowledge any further opinions on this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers [/quote] I would not want to risk it, save the amp for your new cab!

Still my most fave band! Classy music! Thanks for the share..

I have had a V6, Quatra and now have a Hexa. The V6 lacked top for me, but others may tell you different. It had immense power with a Barefaced Super 15, proper vibrations, deep and heavy! The Quatra was great, 8/4 ohm, about the right volume to push it when live (sold it like an idiot when I needed dosh), my thoughts are it would probably sound 'thinner' compared to the V6, I now have a Hexa, 4/2 ohm, a little too much power if I am being honest. Still sounds great. The preamps on the Quatra/Hexa are far better (IMO) that a V series, a lot more versatile and what it sounds like you are used to! If I had a choice, Id go for the Quatra. All are heavy, with the V series being the heaviest (that also put me off after a while with the realities of lugging the gear around).

Thought I'd post my current setup, I am quiet happy with it at the moment (pending gas): Trace Elliott Hexavalve Barefaced big twin Warwick SS2 Boss limiter, super octave and dynamic wah.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1457829179' post='3002219'] So the buyer has viewed it and been given a fair chance to check it over and presumably not been refused the chance to have an AA check or similar done?, "did research and background checks", driven it for a month and then goes back to ebay over it to try and get his cash back? I know it sucks for the op but this is why I'd never sell a car private and rather just take the hit from a dealer on px! [/quote] Mostly true, except I was happy to accept the other faults - it's a used van, I accept I did not see the damaged panel and a number of other things. an exploding gearbox 4 weeks in? That's pushing it a little too far, hence seeking an opinion on the lovely BC

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1457826304' post='3002205'] To be fair, how much abuse could you have given that gearbox in 4 weeks? Not saying you did, just pointing out that no one knows. Also, how many of us have suffered a sudden breakdown of one sort or another through no fault of our own? Now imagine if we'd sold that vehicle one month before the breakdown and someone else had to pick up the mess? The whole thing sucks of course, but don't get all bitter and twisted over it - sh1t happens [/quote] Yes I agree, trouble is it's a lot of money to me, so pretty annoyed, if I'd paid for a knackered one at half the price I'd have no complaint.

[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1457830092' post='3002223'] I'm thinking it may be more trouble to persue and better off spending the £600 to get a recon fitted. [/quote] He is claiming he did not know, he has not owned it for long either.

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1457823306' post='3002181'] How much is a gearbox from a breakers yard and how much will it potentially cost to pursue the case if you do have a leg to stand on? is there a chance the guy didn't know there was anything up with the van, has cracked his pants that there's something wrong with something he's sold and is now denying all knowledge...a metaphorical ostrich manoeuvre? [/quote] I'm thinking it may be more trouble to persue and better off spending the £600 to get a recon fitted.
