Merton

No idea about the legality, but I'd definitely be interested in seeing said document should it ever materialise!

Get yourself out there and you'll find the majority of your business comes from recommendation or personal experience of you at someone elses event.

Paul Herman is the guy to talk to, he's taken on all the Wal stuff from Pete. Contact him thru [url="http://guitar-xperience.com/"]Charlie Chandler's Guitar Experience[/url] if nothing else. Good luck

For some reason I really enjoy playing Gimme All Your Lovin' (the mighty ZZ Top), despite most of it being 8th note Cs!! The other current fave is Ruby (Kaiser Chiefs), again nothing hard going on but I love playing it Oh, and I Kissed a Girl, coz of the phat synth EDIT; so, those three are all fairly well known. The band doesn't have one we do for our own pleasure as it were, but we do stick little things in a lot of songs which make us all turn and smile

I'll have them both please

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='378767' date='Jan 13 2009, 11:18 AM']Mines a bit hissy when cranked too but once you start playing it kinda dissapears Peter[/quote] [quote name='johnnylager' post='378781' date='Jan 13 2009, 11:28 AM']Exactly, it's not like it overpowers the ringing in me ears.[/quote] Indeed. When playing - especially in a full band context - you don't notice it at all, 'twas just an observation vs the V-Type

Nice work. That should sound sweet

Gorgeous!

I would put money on the frequency pot being logarithmic.

Only 16 years ago so less of an impact... First bass was : Vester Stage Series Jazz copy From : Rockbottom in West Croydon It cost : £175 in 1993 Which today is : £248.50 I still can't afford another £175 bass, let alone a £250 axe!

Dave very kindly sent me a jack-speakon adaptor last week, brilliant as ever, thanks!

Not sure on new price I'm afraid. This was built in 1995 IIRC, it's an early model before they facelifted the V-Type range to have the carpet covering and metal grilles, plus a power board change from 250 MOSFET to 280W "BiPolar Bear". The weight isn't too bad, but then again I had the 4x8 version for a while too (now residing at Overwater#1 Towers) and that was a hugely heavy lump

I have 5 sets of Trace Elliot strings which must be a good 10yrs old (when did Trace stop making strings??), still in their packaging and plastic-wrapped. First set I put on my cheap J copy has been perfect, so hopefully the rest are too. As said already, depends on their storage.

[quote name='Shire' post='377758' date='Jan 12 2009, 02:53 PM']Also I need to find som samples of Merton's Trace to see what the general consensus is on that [/quote] Click the album links in my signature - Everwished was recorded Bass -> V-Type miked. Lots of different tones

All the Js are stunning, v nice

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='377720' date='Jan 12 2009, 02:18 PM']I've played through a V Type and it was a world apart from my old Trace.[/quote] Huzzah, indeedy! Very different beasties. Beginning to get all misty eyed about mine now, hmmm.....

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='377707' date='Jan 12 2009, 02:03 PM']You could do a lot worse than the V Type. If you want an Ashdown how about [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27600&hl=ashdown+combo"]this[/url]? you could sell the 15 on if you didn't need it.[/quote] Good call on the Ashdown and cheers for the +1 on the V-Type Even you'd like it I think, it's nothing like the SS 7-band head you had

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='376936' date='Jan 11 2009, 05:40 PM']for the last few months i've been without a propper bass rig. and i've now finally got one together: powerfull, punchy, deep, lightweight and CHEAP! i can carry the whole setup in 1 go, and rig cost under £600 ^_^ [/quote] Love it! Once I've finished building my 1x15 cab I can join you on these hallowed pages with LH500 porn, until then, it just doesn't feel right

Shameless plug time, have a look [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34809"]here[/url]. Trace Elliot V-Type 1x15 combo, 250W, very loud and pokey (keeps up with 2 Marshall 4x12s) and a great rock/blues sound 2nd hand is always a winner when buying on a budget.
