neilb Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) After returning to playing a year ago after a 4 year break, Ive titted (is that a word?)around with new gear as we all do. I used Line6, Ashdown and Hartke for a while....but I always had this nagging desire to "return home". By that I mean Trace Elliot. Before i took my "break", I had a TE stack that was to die for. Used it for 7 odd years with no problems and it had THAT sound that suited me. Ive now got hold of a nice 300w TE amp (£160) which I have taken out of the sleeve and rackmounted with a Behringer tuner/racklight (£40). I used it at a gig (Xmas party for a local hockey club- 200 odd people, very ODD actually!!) running through a single 2x10" (4ohm) Peavey cab. Blimey. What a sound. Im back, Im happy and Im home!!! Just need to keep an eye out for some Trace cabs but the Peavey was fantastic. She is here: Has anyone else ever "returned" to a bass or amp that they used years ago much to their satisfaction?

RIM Basses Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Nice looking AH300, they made them real well back in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Nice looking trace. I had a couple of the older ones (GP7SM 15in combo & GP12SMX 15in combo, both with the 4x5 bright box on the top.) Are the new ones very different? I have to be honest & say that I haven't tried anything else since moving onto my MarkBass stuff. (Oh, and my Ashdown Mag300 head that I use with the MarkBass 2x10 cab for a "mini rig".) I think I tend to move forwards and try new things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
