    [color=#ff0000][size=5]SOLD ON PRELOVED [/size][/color][s][color=#000000][size=3] Here's my Bose L1 Model 1 Personal Audio System up for sale with a B1 Bass speaker Module. [/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=3]The system is complete with the mains lead & the Bass B1 Bose speakon connector lead, soft Bose covers and the original packaging & boxes, plus there are the manuals and the Remote Control & its 5 metre lead. It is PAT tested until May 2013.[/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=3]The equipment is all in excellent condition with just a couple of scuff marks on the B1 bass speaker and the Powerstand which you get in use. It’s just over two years old & I got it new. I was playing in clubs and pubs with the Bose system, and it is ideal for venues of up to 350 (see the Bose website below for specifications & loads of information.) [/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=3]I'm now playing with a band who have their own large PA, or we are using house systems & I realised that I’ve only used it 4 times this year, so it’s got to go.[/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=3]I’m sure you have seen and heard these awesome systems – they really are great pieces of kit. They have an inbuilt four channel mixer & a 2 x 250 watt amplifier. [/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=3]The remote control gives you instant control over two of the channels with overall/master volume, plus two individual volume, treble, mid & bass controls which you can mount on your mic stand so you can control your sound “on the fly” as you perform. [/size][/color][/s]

    Still got my HH MA100 PA head - great multi purpose 100w head - used it for guitar, PA, & of course, bass - played in a band a while back with this as the amp head & a 4 x 12" angled Marshall style cabinet - workd really well. I love the sound of them & the "Thump & Hiss2 when they come on - and heck yeah - the green glow is both cool & practical for onstage use.. Had it since the 70's when I go it with 2 PA 2 x 12" cabinets - we had the best PA for miles around & it's done LOADS of gigs. Ii've also got a little 1 x 12" HH cabinet as a spare/extension/monitor speaker - currently fitted with a10" 70watt speaker with a "sleeve"/wooden ring to make the 10" fit in the 12" cabinet cut out........

    Good evening! Well I have got the new Celestion BL10-100's and fitted them to the old front ported Ashdown 210T (slim) cabinet, and moved the Ashdown Blueline 100 watt speakers back into their Ashdown 210T (Deep) cabinet. The result is good - the new Celestions are clear, and loud - pretty much equivalent to the Blueline 100's. They are slightly smaller, so I've used two of the four original screw holes, and drilled another two to accommodate the (maybe) 4mm smaller size. The Celestions are about 750 grammes heavier than the Bluelines, so no big change there. Thesound is similar too - whereas the old SICA spakers now sound very dull/woolly and quite a bit quieter for the same wasttage -( the old ones were rated 81Db/Watt/Metre, the new ones 96 Db/Watt/Metre). I know these are a cheap(er) speaker, but that is a consideration to me, as is the weight. "When I put both cabinets on I get a great sound (to my ears, anyway), individually they are OK, with the deeper cabinet having the edge on a better" sound. It isn't a truly deep, thunderous sound - an element of "honk" is there, but it is a big improvement. Thanks to all who posted on this topic, Cheers, Stompbox

    OK - I've swapped them over - the newer "Blueline" speaker chassis are clearly louder, so they must have a greater ensitivity, and the old SICA ones do sound better now they are in the "Deep" cabinet, so I think I wll order a pair of the Celestion BL10-100's and see which cabinet I wind up using & using them in. I guess I'll retire the old SICA drivers. I'll post again as and when I get the new speakers & fit them.....

    Ibanez RGT6EXFX hardtail guitar Has EMG active pickups, five way pickup selector switch and is a dream to play. Fantastic low, fast action, excellent condition - no dings or chips. Includes a good padded gig bag. . [

    [sup][size=5]OK - well i'm going to take an "empirical" approach to this[/size][/sup] [sup][size=5]I'm going to swap the speakers from the newer cab to the older cab & see if the improvement transfers. [/size][/sup] [sup][size=5]The cabinets are not identical - the newer is the 210T deep cab with twin rear ports, the older is a slot front ported compact cabinet.[/size][/sup] [sup][size=5]The speakers from the newer cab are Ashdown "blue cone" speakers that weigh only a mere 2.3 kilos. Labelled "Blueline" HK02046 100 watt 16ohm driver with 1 3/4 " coils that appear to e very similar to the Celestion BL10-100 (?BL= Blueline????).[/size][/sup] [sup][size=5]So I'll be busy unscrewing/soldering etc.[/size][/sup] [sup][size=5]I'll post again when I see if the improved sound transfers or whether the deep cab makes the difference.... who knows, maybe the older tired speakers in the deep cab will get a new lease of life & the newer, perhaps more sensitive ones may balance out in the smaller cabinet....[/size][/sup] [sup][size=5] [/size][/sup]

    Good morning Phil - that's a good idea - I'll try Ashdown direct - I never thought of that - a good lateral move - maybe won't be too expensive. Thinking about it I did get a fresh set of speakers off them - these that I'm looking to change are, in fact, replacements from some years back as a DJ blew the original set up....

    Hey thanks for that LawrenceH - I would be putting around 150/175 watts in - not the max total rating of 400, that's for sure. Celestion also do a 100watt version, I've just found, so that may be better, running them at around 2/3 of their rating, rather then under driving them? The existing 10's have had a lot of use for quite a long period of time, and may be" tired", or the new r MAG 210T cabinet may just have better spec speakers....

    Oh - what a shame - they are Adobe acrobat 7.0 files - is there another way to display these?

    I'm looking to replace tow 10" drivers in my Ashdown Mag400 210T bass combo. The existing speakers sound very tired/poor volume when doing an A/B test with a fairly new MAG210T. It's all a question of money, of course. I can get a really good deal on 2 new, boxed Celestion BL 10-200S speakers - I contacted Celestion for the spec sheet & it's attached below. I also attach the spec sheet for the original SICA (Italian) speakers that are in the cabinet now. (Z006540 - obsolete unit ) They are both 16 ohm speakers, and the pair would be wired in parallel to give an 8 ohm cabinet. The Celestion speakers, whilst weighing an extra 1.8 kilos each, have a sensitivity of 97 db, the old SICA speakers have only 91.6 db , so the Celestions should be louder, and they have greater power handling. Does anyone have any experience with the Celestions, or can you spot any drawback in the spec sheet data? I also attach the replacement that SICA suggested ( Z005902) - this time a Neo 4 ohm driver, so would have to put the two in series, , but these are much more expensive......or do you know of any other 10" that may be worth trying? Any help gratefully received. Cheers, Stompbox

    Just done a "swap" with Duf M - who is a very new member, so a great element of trust was required as we were both sending our cabinets off to each other by carrier. Traded my Ashdown Mag115 cabinet for his Mag 210T cabinet - he is a great communicator, all went smoothly and his cabinet arrived well packed & on time. An OK guy. Stompbox

    Well I do like the skeleton, but maybe a little difficult to fold down into a handy package... I like the idea of a presonal monitor too, but even better would be a screen with lyrics on, instead of the ring binder I carry with me...

    I was using ACS ER-20's. They were OK (ish) but cut some frequencies far more than others, and I was aware of having them in all the time. Our drummer said he knew of a better set he would get for me. They are called "Hearos" and the model is the "Rock & Roll Series". He got me a pair & they are brilliant - just like turning all of the volume down - they cut 22Db, and are really comfortable & effective - you can still hold a conversation, but they take excess/painful edge off in our reharsal room which is only small. Also they only cost £6.45 on Ebay..... ( & NO, I DON'T WORK FOR THEM OR SELL THEM ON EBAY MYSELF ).

    Have ordered a set of 45/105 Legacy strings myself, so will see how they are - the guy at Strings Direct confirmed they are made by Rotosound...... Got to be worth a go at £8, and my G & L low E has gone very dead sounding.
  25. Stompbox
    I'll put my ten pennyworth in here - It's "horses for courses" with strings - they all have different applications. I do like tape wounds though - I have a set of Chromes on my Jazz bass for the oldies duo that I play in, but equally I've some Warwick steelies on G & L active for a rock trio I'm with - but the steels are maybe a bit too harsh! Might try a set of the Lagacy strings out - got to be worth a go at the price - thanks for the info.
