rumour6 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I tried this when it was 'happy'... did somebody say LOUD!!!! a V8 is supposed to be more (a bit) at 400W, had two V8s, they do what they do but not at this volume.. if you've got the cabs I'd deffo get Marshall to have a look.. it's odd, it's physically big and 'feels' well...'dangerous'... or was that yahoo, bring it on... not recommended for bedroom use Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoulding Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Currently have a 1x15 300w 8ohm cab atm and need a head for it! I am unfamiliar with all this gear so i may need some help anything around £200 maybe more Thats the cab actually in your 6th picture, can never remember the model names. Why not just call them people names instead of numbers. Would solve so many problems. Edited January 5, 2010 by agoulding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I can do is the venerable AH250 - some broken sliders (but all work) and no light (so it is legal in Germany), but TONE, BABY! There is no gig that amp 'n cab cannot do. I will allow it to be owned for £275 delivered. If you ever see another one - buy it, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt it look pretty similar to the ah350? Would like a good picture to see condition etc if i may! i could be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Hey! Found these phone photos [attachment=39447:AH250_on_18_and_15.jpg] [attachment=39449:AH250_on...and_15_2.jpg] [attachment=39450:old_AH250_close_up.jpg] It is dark in the vault, so the black painted wood doesn't show well - but you get the idea? Didn't shoot the back, because it is straight stock and all OK. I can maybe do better detail (if it matters) when the snow goes.... As always, if you move on it and then decide it was 'not for you' as long as I'm not out of pocket, RTB is cool. Or if you would rather have the Mark V with the light and everything for a little more. Or the 350X Or the 500X Or ...

Thornybank Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 [quote name='agoulding' post='702383' date='Jan 6 2010, 01:16 AM']how much more is the 350x? :P[/quote] Catalogue info: AH350X Designed to match with 1818X cabinet Twin channel fan cooled unit Channel A delivers 150watts into 8 ohms and is high pass, above 250HZ only Channel B delivers 250 watts into 4 ohms full range. Seperate level controls are not fitted We recommend you use this unit with one or two 1818X enclosures Use channel B with a full range cabinet by itself for smaller gigs. So, it is an AH250 with a bonus high end if you have an extension cab. £400 'cos it is clean and working great! I have an 1818X cab - but they are almost always a 2-man lift.

basshead56 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 What heads have you got left.looking for something to match an incoming trace 2x15/4 ohm cab. anything up to 350 watts. Budget wise-havent figured that out yet. Let me know mate, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Just thought i'd drop by and put a good word in for Chris (like he needs it?) I've dealt with him a few times - bought that lovely P-Bass from him - and have actually seen the Trace gear in all its glory. Its an enviable collection, and i don't care about all these £1000's worth of boutique rig, the sound that could be achieved from a Bassman 135 through the Trace 215 was to die for, if i hadn't been let down by my band at the time i'd have bought it right then. The sheer size of rigging the 15+18's up really did make one's bowels tremor. Happy days indeed. In fact, i'm tempted to grab one to fill out some bottom end... but then i'd have to get my Matamp 212 rewired for 8ohm... So yeh, its all great stuff and dinnae hesitate to give this man your dough. Unless you have back problems.. Edited February 16, 2010 by TheButler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm looking for a complete rig. I've got a budget of £500, wouldn't mind spending less but I can go higher as well. Could you please recommend something of yours for my budget. The lightest songs I play are ones from bands like The Hives and I tend to do heavier stuff like Arch Enemy.

Valve pre. Coome up and have a blast through the lot in the cave. Bring the band - you can let the drummer decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I live in Surrey so I'm a bit far away to pop up for a chat unfortunately. As for letting the drummer decide, I've been playing drums since '99, bass since '09. I do both I'll have a look at those and get back to you, Thanks!

thestick Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 hi, i have a Hexa valve amp, 400w all valve owned since 92, collected from trace elliot its not let me down ever ,also its as good as the day i bought it. They knew how to make great bass gear!!!!! good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Answers to all the newer replies... The hexa is a beast. Better built than the V series? Probably. The Nolan head is an all-vave lead head - one of the many British 'also rans' from the '70s. It is better made than a Sola Sound, better(?) sonics than a Sound City, not as weird as an Elgin. Not trashy like a V-Ampower or Triumph (sorry, Geoff, but really, man, what were you doing?) £500 is a tough price point if you want volume...
