    I think the older (sleeved) Warwick heads might fit too

    Your cabs will be wired parallel I imagine. Speak to OBBM about getitng a special lead made up to do series instead

    [quote name='chris_b' post='261257' date='Aug 12 2008, 11:22 PM']Why don't you come along to the SE Bass Bash in Guildford, it's not too far from Reading. You can see a lot of amps and cabs up close and talk to their owners. That's if you can wait that long. Details below: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22439&hl=bash"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22439&hl=bash[/url][/quote] [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='261294' date='Aug 13 2008, 12:25 AM']Excellent idea! And much better than going to any shop because there'll be more variety and better 'customer service'.. [/quote] Yes yes yes. Do that and you'll fall in love with something, guaranteed (Disclaimer - it may not be a bass rig, you may suddenly have a desire for a Shuker/Status/RIM/ACG/Vigier etc etc...)

    Wow. Can I have it?

    [quote name='bassbloke' post='260090' date='Aug 11 2008, 04:10 PM']Tone is to die for - lovely and warm and serious bottom end. I've used this combo live when my old Hartke head was in for repair and it was great.[/quote] Yeah, don't let the 8" speakers fool you, the cab is sealed and there is plenty of low end on its own. Coupled with a 1x15 (especially that Trace one) would sound awesome. I use the ultra-rare 4x8 extension cab with mine and can honestly say it would be a cold day in hell before I find a sound I like more. Plus bassbloke is a top, er, bloke to deal with

    Oh, sizing. About 63cm tall, 54cm wide and 34cm deep. Did I tell you it's f-ing heavy at 39kg?
  9. Merton
    I own one of these combos too, absolutely spandulous it is! It's 39kg (mine is 42kg coz of heavier speakers!!) Power is 290W into 4 ohms, so about 150ish into the internal speakers. MOSFET power amp.
  10. Merton
    That's exactly why I like the V-Type stuff, the basic "flat" (er, all knobs in the middle, hehe) sound is closest to "my" favoured tone and hence easy to shape

    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='258723' date='Aug 9 2008, 10:54 AM']Reading this thread is strangely making me want to dep for a function band. Anyone need a dep for function stuff around Surrey/Hants area?[/quote] Possibly! But we don't do Mustang Sally, thank god.

    [quote name='Galilee' post='257129' date='Aug 7 2008, 12:43 PM']I'm not going to quote the whole thing, because I just wanted to say, what a great, inspiring post that was![/quote] Aye! And to Bilbo and mcgraham too, cheers for your input
  14. Merton
    Bumpity. Will prob fit most Ashdown heads in it as well as the Trace range
  15. Merton
    Good work!
  16. Merton
    Very nice!

    [quote name='joe_bass' post='255553' date='Aug 5 2008, 04:43 PM']Insurance will pay out the value of the item for today's price so if you've valued it based on that then don't worry. If you value things at stupid prices then you would get marked as possibly fraudulent. When I worked in home insurance claims a lot of people would be wanting the £2000 that they paid 10 years ago for the tv that now costs £100.[/quote] That's cool then, phew

    [quote name='clauster' post='255523' date='Aug 5 2008, 04:17 PM']CAS (cash acquisition syndrome)[/quote] This is something I currently have too, to the extent I'm trying to figure out what to [i]sell[/i]
  19. Merton
    I'd echo Stingrayfan's suggestion - go 2nd hand. You can get a more powerful combo so if the time comes for gigging you won't need to upgrade Ashdown MAG combos? Loads of Trace gear would fall into your price range. Peavey...
  20. Merton
    Ped, with brand new things like my Retroactive I valued it at exactly what I paid. With 2nd hand things I either value at what I paid or what the current market value is if I got a bargain! EDIT: that often means I've valued things at a higher price than I paid. Does that constitue insurance fraud?
  21. Merton
    I tend to get all flustered, play anything that falls under my fingers and hope no-one notices :blush: Hoping to get some lessons to sort me out, innit
  22. Merton
    Blue Aran are very good. Appian Acoustics do Celestion and Frank is a good bloke to natter to!
  23. Merton
    My insurance company has all the serial numbers, as do I. (Except the ones on the Trace gear where the pen has rubbed off )

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='255134' date='Aug 5 2008, 10:09 AM']I nearly managed to persuade him to hook up a webcam and beam live pics out! That would have been a bit of a hoot. [/quote] When I see him after his holiday I will pay him to do exactly that
