    [quote name='obbm' post='242507' date='Jul 18 2008, 11:07 AM']In my experience if someone is going to make a pratt of themselves they will do it regardless of any rules or etiquette. [/quote] That's the reason I'm coming along, to be the token eejit

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='242365' date='Jul 18 2008, 08:42 AM']I think the idea of a bit of scheduled quiet time is a good plan.. Anyone else agree?[/quote] Yip. Also, if we don't get anywhere with the masterclasses, we could have an amp room and a non-amp room?

    [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='241622' date='Jul 17 2008, 11:53 AM']Same here. I miss the strings with a pick. I often prefer the pick sound, I just can't do it.[/quote] Me too, but I'm forcing myself to practice it more and more coz I love the sound. I'm getting there

    [quote name='RichardH' post='241642' date='Jul 17 2008, 12:14 PM']I'm going to build a 1x8" soon too, based round the Eminence Acoustinator NH2008. In a 0.8ft3 vented box it will go near enough flat down to 50Hz, but has a max useable power of 50W or so because of the x-max. Should be a nice practice cab though![/quote] Cool1 I haven't finished modelling the 1x8 yet (it's a Celestion thingummy), I can't decide between vented and sealed but the wood it kind in a box shape already for sealed so I think that's the way it'll stay! The 1x15 is going to be rear ported just like the combo, like I say I'm literally copying the combo exactly. It's by no means a perfect cab and nowhere near flat (nor indeed does it have any useful output below about 80Hz) but it sounds bloody great and I like it

    I'm embarking on a compact 15" cab build very soon, bought all the bits from Blue Aran yesterday. It's an exact copy of the cab in my V-Type combo to make an identikit 2x15 rig First I've got to finish off Kev's 1x8" cab tho!

    [quote name='Hamster' post='241016' date='Jul 16 2008, 04:13 PM']Oh, forgot to mention - it's also fancy dress [/quote] Maybe we should make it that you have to turn up looking like your avatar. I'm onto a winner there ( ), but I'd like to see you keep a small yellow bird on your head all day! EDIT: is it a duckling?

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='240942' date='Jul 16 2008, 03:18 PM']Merton, I think my car is lighter than your 4x8" combo. That's the one where TE were still using the depleted uranium damping, right? Alex[/quote] I think the new Aircraft Carriers the British Navy has commisioned are lighter than my 4x8 combo! Yes, depleted uranium is one of its USPs

    Ah you see, I said 4 flights TO Rhodes, I made no mention of the returns orignally! So yes, 4 flights to Rhodes, plus 4 back from Rhodes to Gatwick I still end up back in this lovely country!

    [quote name='lowhand_mike' post='240784' date='Jul 16 2008, 12:34 PM'] wheres the bonus from work when you need one, and just round the m25 too.[/quote] I'm not in a huge rush so if you want it but need to wait a month or two it's yours

    [quote name='MB1' post='240788' date='Jul 16 2008, 12:37 PM']MB1. 4 Flights?.....Buy one get one free? [/quote] No, I just fancied flying there 4 times for the hell of it. Why not eh?

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='239104' date='Jul 14 2008, 01:02 PM']got a couple of strings though guys, nice one [/quote] Kev, I think I have a couple of spare B strings lurking round somewhere. If I find them I'll post them to you with the cab

    Another free bump for a cracking bass at a cracking price. If I could I would. But I've just bought 4 flights to Rhodes and the good lady would murder me if another bass arrived!!

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='240598' date='Jul 16 2008, 09:06 AM']Sheer bliss - we had a fantastic time thanks - looking forward to going back in October [/quote] Hooray! More holiday! I finally booked my first holiday for almost 2 years yeaterday, off to a villa in Rhodes at the beginning of October. It took almost 3 hours to book the flights because EVERY website had "technical difficulties" just as I came to pay. Think that meant the flights didn't actually exist but Thomson came to the rescue via First Choice...

    [quote name='Rayman' post='240696' date='Jul 16 2008, 10:50 AM']...........and I see your EQ is set flat, I must take note . Bargain cab for that price. I'd have it myself, but I've already got one![/quote] Cheers, hope you get on better with your rig this Friday

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='240632' date='Jul 16 2008, 09:38 AM']Was it this cab you used when I saw your gig at The Crow's Nest last month? Because if it was it sounding great! Good luck with the sale...[/quote] Certainly was - cheers! There is a part of me worried that the rig sounds great already so why change it, but getting a second cab identical to the first makes lots of sense after reading all the posts from Alex and Bill! [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='240632' date='Jul 16 2008, 09:38 AM']P.S. Nice bass! [/quote] Hehehe

    [quote name='Chopthebass' post='239994' date='Jul 15 2008, 01:23 PM']Look at how light it is![/quote] It's lighter than my 4x8 combo

    Bump. I'll accept reasonable offers
  22. Merton
    Welcome back! Hope the holiday was a cracker

    Cracking head, really nice tone. I had one veyr briefly and would love another but it just ain't got enough poke for my needs.

    Trace Elliot 1153 speaker cabinet for sale - SOLD pending the usual 200W, 8 ohms. Reasonable cosmetic condition, certainly not excellent coz the carpet is a little ragged in a few small places (might take a razor to it!) but structurally and sonically it's perfect It's the bottom cab: (er, did I say it's the bottom cab... ) As you can see it has had some castors fitted which is lovely but this is one the lighter end of the TE scale! Selling because I'm going to build a 1x15 cab to match the one in my V-Type combo at some point in the next month or so, now I've got access to a workshop where I can finish various projects I've started (yes Kev, that includes yours )! [i](EDIT): Shipping is extra, I estimate about £40 with insurance.[/i] I'm near Jct 8 of the M25 but could arrange to meet within reasonable distance if preferred.
