'bought from the original owner's widow' - aye for about 2 bob probably - 'I'll take that nasty old thing off you dear, hee hee' Possibly a very old refin? The ones I've seen had marking where the scratchplate is where they actually disintegrate over the years so that will most likely not be an original one but I'm not seeing any marks there. And it does appear to be in very, very good condition for a musician's tool that is almost 60 years old - a dog or a careful owner?

The seller's been tying to sell that for a while - it was originally offered as the complete PA but he's obviously had litle interest and so has decided to split it. Think the price is a bit steep for one power amp.

I am also contemplating a Thunderbird but is my £200 Goth Thunderbird a 1/5 of the bass the Gibson is?

I'm also interested in this but thinking that it may be better to record the sound separately and mix the audio and visual together

Thought I may as well put this here [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140458608705&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url] If anyone here is interested then I can do the usual Basschat discount plus I am off on holiday next week so may even be able to meet up somewhere within reason to save on the hideous £50 courier charge. All the details are in the Ebay auction but feel free to PM me any questions.

As an owner of a Trace 2x15" I can get thumpy lows and loads of rumble but my sound is more trebly usually and I can get that easily with my cab.

Epiphone EB-0 in limited edition Pelham Blue. Beautiful bass, covered in marks, scratches, bridge insert lifting out of the body - on its way back as soon as they come to collect it. Really disappointed, was really looking forward to this one

That's maybe the problem these days. The world is full of bass playing jessies who simply must have the lightest neo cab and micro amp to cope with their frail bodies. I jest of course. Or do I? :brow: An 8x10" I can understand but I was comparing weights with Ampeg gear - its 20kg less than their 8x10" and 3 kg more than their 4x10" so its not that heavy

You'd probably struggle to find a combo loud enough for pubs with no PA support. The only thing I could think of that would be capable would be a 4x10" combo or similar. There is a fantastic combo on here at the moment - a Trace V-type 15" with valve preamp. Fantastic combo but even it needed an extension cab to play pubs. When I had my Trace 7210H 2x10" combo, I still had to use a 1048H 4x10" for pub gigs.

i remember doing a gig in Tain, up the north of Scotland. To get into the gig, you had to go down some steep steps into the cellar. I rmember seeing my guitarist falling into the cellar - with my brand new Trace 4x10" in hand to break his fall. Luckily there was hardly a mark on the cab.

Its not too bad. About 40kg. I had to lift it up 3 flights of stairs a few weeks ago and it wasn't too bad. It does help that it has big wheels cos it more or less goes over most surfaces, although obviously not stairs.

no idea but I really like that. :wub: (first time I've used that emoticon)

Apparently DR use a different type of coating to what they originally used. I remember having a set of Rotosound Spacer strings in about 1993 which were I think the first black coated strings available - they quickly, over the space of a few weeks, went from black to grey and dead as a dead thing. Surprisingly they never took off

I am considering selling my cab. Its one of the carpet covered square 2x15" ones that were built to go with the much revered V-type valve heads. As far as I can tell it is sealed, the bottom end it produces would suggest that anyway. The grill isn't visible as it is covered in a grill cloth slightly lighter green than the carpet so it looks good and will take something hitting it as it still has the proper Trace metal grill behind it. Condition, I reckon would probably be 9/10 and that's being strict. not 9/10 given the age but I've honestly seen cabs in shops in worse nick than this. Until last year it had lived in a proper full flight case that weighted as much as the cab itself so I sold that and bought one of those waterproof ones from Roqsolid or somewhere like that in black with the green piping. It is also fitted with 4 heavy duty casters, with the front 2 having locks on them. Now I'm pretty savvy when it comes to gear but I don't recall ever seeing another one of these 2x15"s and certainly nothing similar in such good condition so for the first time I'm asking for some help to see about what sort of price I might get for this. [url="http://img688.imageshack.us/i/dsc06298large.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img594.imageshack.us/i/dsc06300large.jpg/"][/url] I'm not selling it just now but am just wondering how much I could expect to get for it before I make any decisions as I am finding it a bit overkill as a monitor for my wedding band - yes that setup above is what I take to wedding gigs, a rock rig. Its rated at 500w @ 8ohms, the amp I am using with it is a GK700RB II and trust me it does not need another cab to get it down to 4 ohms to be heard in a big pub wth no PA support.

That's the sound I am hearing right now. First time since I began using them 2 or 3 years ago. Funny thing is that when I use them, i generally only need to adjust the volume for the venue and maybe a wee tweak on the EQ but nothing mutch. Tonight I found myself constantly turning round at every opportunity during the first half dozen songs to adjust stuff. Well I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight - goodbye whatever frequency I can hear right now, I'll never hear thee again.

yes tried and found guilty or being a pug ugly POS

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a bit of a loser really.[/quote] exactamundo - can you imagine if Sheehan did his widdly stuff on a Sting album? Both play well, both completely different bass players

[url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=dr+bass+neon"]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=dr+bass+neon[/url] looks like they'll be the same or maybe ever slightly cheaper than the colour coated ones

explains my previous post [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9754800"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9754800[/url] looks like they're not released yet

just been on Stringbusters - looks like Evergreen and Hot Pink have been discontinued in the colour coated ones

Sold! Where do I buy them? I like anything garish and over the top

Never tried them but just found this: [url="http://www.pharosparcel.com/QuoteAndBook/QuoteMe"]http://www.pharosparcel.com/QuoteAndBook/QuoteMe[/url] £26.39 to deliver my beast of a Trace 2x15" cab (80x80x40, 46kg) - don't really come much bigger unless its a 6 or 8x10"

I really don't know why they bother with these things - its all personal taste Like the guitarist ones, its normally Hendrix. Now I don't particularly like Hendrix. I understand how he influenced so many guitarists but I don't like his playing - too scratchy wah wah, do you want to start actually playing something now? Probably annoyed many hendrix fans but i don't care because that is my opinion. Put a poll on here as to what the best amp is just now and I'd bet the TC Rebelhead would come in first with the Markbass head in at 2. Never played either, don't need to cos I'm sorted with my out of fashion heavy GK 700RB II. I think I've made my point

If you PM Thornybank I'm sure he still has a Trace and a Peavey 2x15"
