[quote name='alexclaber' post='372041' date='Jan 6 2009, 02:41 PM']the max power & SPL plots are a very valuable feature. Alex[/quote] Hell yes. Just downloaded Pro last weekend, very interesting indeed!

[quote name='obbm' post='371485' date='Jan 5 2009, 10:30 PM']If I'd have known that this was coming I'd have never have sold the UL310 and bought the NV610, I'd just have bought another UL310. [/quote] Hehe. But nice to see the LG1000 fit the bill for your plans, will be a nice little rig!

[quote name='obbm' post='371306' date='Jan 5 2009, 07:50 PM']I received my LG1000 from Sounds Live last week but haven't had the chance to plug it in yet as it's too cold in the garage. I have a possible gig on Friday so I may well use it then.[/quote] You kept that quiet Looking forward to hearing a review. Mighty tempted by these, but went for the LH500 instead due to availability, price and previous experience of the tonestack

Glad Alun gave Phil Mulford a mention!

[quote name='stevie' post='370197' date='Jan 4 2009, 06:35 PM']Are you going to post details of your self-build? There's always lots of interest on here, as you know.[/quote] If it goes well The modelling in WinISD is quite interesting, let's put it like that... It's a design ripped off (i.e. identical to) the V-Type combo I am selling - a 15" driver (Eminence Beta) in a pretty small enclosure so it's loud and small but doesn't go very low at all. -3dB point is ~ 90Hz, the max SPL with 350W input power (e.g. theoretically the LH500 running flat out with just the one cab at 8 ohms, never going to happen in the real world) is 125.something dB (edit: at 100-something Hz). It's a totally rubbish design and I can see why, but it sounds good and *shouldn't* have too many issues getting anywhere near Xmax... He says...

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='370107' date='Jan 4 2009, 05:20 PM']<snip> it's all meant to sound very nice anyway, so just tweak em until it sounds good![/quote] I think you'd be hard pushed to make it sound crap, it's a very musical EQ section and I have fallen in love with it since first encountering it on a Trace V-Type head. Actually, I first encountered it on a Trace Commando combo, same tonestack there as well. Love it - all my amps have this tonestack now

Good work! I'm hoping to have my self-build 1x15 cab in a position to be fired up with the LH500 tomorrow - can't wait as it should sound perfect (for me!)...

Yep. Was perfectly happy with my MIM Jazz V, Trace/Ashdown hybrid rig. 3 years later I've not got any of that rig anymore, or any of the basses I had then save for the first one I ever got (sentimental old fool I am!). So, in short and in no particular order: IN: Status Groove 5 Status Retroactive J Trace Elliot 2103H Trace Elliot V-Type 1x15 combo (soon to go??) Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 combo Trace Elliot 4x8 cab (soon to go??) Eden Nemesis NA320 Hartke LH500 OUT: Fender Jazz MIM V Dean Edge Pro 4 Status Groove 5 Ashdown MAG410T Trace Elliot AH300-12 Trace Elliot 2103H Trace Elliot 1153 Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 combo Eden Nemesis NA320

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='367373' date='Dec 31 2008, 07:23 PM']Hartke (esp. the LH500 valve head) a snip at about £225 for 500W of valve power.[/quote] I hate to nitpick but it's not 500W of valve power, it's 500W of solid state power with a valve preamp! Lovely things, a damn fine bargain they are. Shameless plug time: I am selling a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34809"]Trace Elliot V-Type combo[/url] on here, it's a great little combo and plenty capable of all sized gigs it's done - from tiny to pretty huge. Would sound awesome for your punk stuff

OUT: Eden Nemesis NA320 Trace Elliot 2103H Trace Elliot 1153 Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 combo Status Groove 5 string IN: Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 combo (er, it only lasted 6 months, OK?!!) Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 cab Hartke LH500 Ibanez SB7 synth pedal 2009 should bring about the other V-Type combo going, the 4x8 cab going, and a couple of new 1x15s coming in (eventually to be replaced by 2 that I'm going to build... it's been over 6 months since I cooked that plan up)

[quote name='johnnylager' post='364418' date='Dec 27 2008, 07:46 PM']Fairly heavy though - I'll whip the top off when Merton's Ruby valve arrives and have a look, but I suspect there may be a 2nd transformer lurking in there - there looks like there is room for one.[/quote] Will post this comingweek, totally failed at work! Hopefully gonna swap my Sovtek for a Raytehon sometime this week too, whoop! Glad you like it BTW

I'm a member over there, post occasionally but generally keep tabs on the build diaries as they're quite interesting and lots of home-builders. Plus there's the thread about the prototype of my multiscale singlecut
