Can you post?[/quote] I can post - no problem. Now.... Trace did 8ohm cabs almost exclusively so that you could add cabs, not watts, to increase volume. ...but... I can do one of the five 18+15+12 cabs they made back in the olden days. If you can lift it @ 110kg. Sure sounds good! I can also reload the trusty upright format 2x15 cab with 8ohm drivers to run @ 4ohm. Kille stage presence and lovely, singing tone - and not a stupid lift. What wattage would you want? What head are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) If you're going to be using the 2x15" with that valve amp it will sound proper old school. That is a fantastic cab Why not keep it as it is and get a 4x10" as well? Now that would rock Bugger - just saw the bit about you no longer getting it. You could pair the 2x15" with a MkV AH150. It'll only be putting out around 90 trace watts but you'll sh*te yourself at how loud it is Edited September 20, 2010 by Delberthot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornybank Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 So - you want a cab for an Impact head? Don't get hung about 4ohms - it will put out the same wattage into 16 or 8 as long as it is set to that impedence. For bass, it will have clean headroom up to about 60w RMS output. What you need is max efficiency. How 'bout a '70s Fender 'silver face' 2x15? Max paper moving and jsut right for your wattage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wheeler Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I am interested in one of the 15" combos. I can lay my hands on about £300 now and could scrape together more given time. I had better come clean and admit I don't really know what they are worth - this will be my first proper amp and I am going on recommendations rather than personal experience. Can we work something out? Edited October 6, 2010 by 2wheeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box is pretty much the same as a Marshall angle cab. The sound is uniquely Trace. The reflex design really throws the lows. They are rated at 150w and will DI. I can do one for £300 and a wee bit carriage, which makes them insanely good value. I don't know why they aren't £500 - they just aren't. Yet? Anything you want to know, just PM.

Thornybank Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 That's the back end of a Sound City 200 flashing GEC KT88s. I have two of those and a good ol' Hiwatt 200 on the go, if it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have my tech bias it up for anything you want to put in. If you want new valves, best to buy them yourself, so you have a guarantee. I can do used valves - including those hideously expensive GEC KT88s - but can't guarantee them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepaul Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hello Mr Thorn, Looking for a case for a Series 6 AH500X head, would you have one ? Also any footswitchs ?

Currently housing a 350X, same size as my Mk5 AH500X. Dark brown - fibreglass? - with cork sheet inserts. Front and back off. You take the handle off the head (and put it all labelled up and with the brackets and screws where you will be able to find them someday - like I didn't) and slide the whole thing in. The footswitches I have are the 1/4" jack preshape/graphic. I will try one with an SMX head and let you know what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornybank Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yep - for the V series stuff. Only ever had one. Went with a V8 a coupla yeras ago. The Ashdown is the closest thing now - same maker. There is a cased one on the forum @ £185. But you might find you want to upgrade from bluelines...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Was there not a green-carpeted 1084 (4ohm) that was produced just before/around the time of the inception of the V-type range? Had the usual expanded metal grille, no cloth, and a horn IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
