stingrayfan Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Really pleased with the Trace Elliot 250w head I got from Beedster for £150. Currently running it through my Warwick 4x10. The old GAS is setting in though and I'm thinking: "How about getting a matching secondhand Trace 4x10 to go with it....?" I see a lot of people are getting rid of them because they're heavy...but what do they sound like? Much better than my Warwick do you think?

stingrayfan Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Heavier than a normal 4x10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Since i changed over from a Hartke rig to a TE i have had nothing but compliments about my sound. get some TE cabs. you wont be dissapointed. i cant get my head around this heavy stuff. i dont hump stuff by myself, never have done. i help carry the drummers stuff in. guitarists. pa etc. and they help me. easy.

lushuk Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 +1 on the heavy stuff I move mine once a week with someone, about max 40yds takes approx 15 seconds, suits me! and sounds good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I have one. I only got it the other day with a 1x15 cab. I haven't been able to crank it up yet (nor will I for a month or two) but it sounds quite reasonable at low volumes. The guy in the shop tells me that the cabs sound fantastic, and as we have a good relationship, I know he isn't pulling a fast one. They are heavy, but solid. They are too large physically for one person to carry, but get a mate to help and then the weight isn't such a problem either. They are still a pain to carry up stairs, though. When the time comes to take them to the reheasal space, I'll certainly enlist the help of the guitarist. Here's a nice bit of info for you: I've only ever played through Trace Elliot cabs. I've always thought that they sounded great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwater#1 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Heavy!!! I love my Trace Cabs, they move hellish amounts of air.. although recently I have been using a MarkBass 102HF... probably as this has a HF in, and my TE cabs dont.. I like the sparkle it adds. The Trace's are great, fat and punchy... very nice! You definately wont be dissapointed with Trace cabs anyway, they're big boys toys!

Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Let's put it this way... I'd certainly have another 1048h of the same vintage as mine. If only other parts of my life could withstand it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've just bought a 2" x !0" from another Basschatter. Sounds great, but hell is it heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Gonad insurance soared when these cabs first came out, and they sparked a thriving hernia repair business which you've probably heard of on TV & radio Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Some of the TE cabs are definitely made of MDF which makes for an incredibly heavy cab if its going to be roadworthy! Nicely non-resonant though. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
