Is there any love for trace Elliot cabs

[smgleitch]

I went to sweetwater on Friday, if you ever get a chance go there, very cool store. Stopped in to buy a backup head and to try out a tc rh450. So I decided to play the heads I was looking at through a trace elliot 410 cab.

Wow what a great sounding cab. I have never really looked at trace Elliot before and had never played through one. I was very impressed.

I don't really hear to much about trace Elliot stuff here and was just wondering if any one else uses their stuff or if there are any opinions on it.

Back in the mid-90s I played a GK 400RB through a Trace 4x10 and 1x15. I sold it to buy some crap I don't even use anymore. I so wish I still had that stack!

I love my 1524. It is my main gigging cab and I don't plan on ever getting rid of it. I might consider the new 1528 with a 1028H though!

Thanks for stopping by! Which head did you end up with? I play through a pair of Trace Elliot cabinets. I love the way they sound. I have a 2x10 (1028H) and 1x15 (1518C). I changed from a 4x10 to this rig as it was easier to carry around due to lighter individual cabinets and the sound was amazing.

I hope you enjoyed your time here!

Lot's of love for Trace cabinets (and amps) from me.

Are you kidding? An 8x10 Trace I got used is the best cab I've ever used! I ran it beside a Crate 4X10 with a two channel Crate amp at something like 440 watts... Despite living in a relatively rural area, the police did end being called a time or two. ;-)

Yep... 2x15 + 4x10 + 4x5 (bright box) + 500W

The expression says it all...

At my local GC they had a used Trace Elliot combo and a cab (410) with a Trace Elliot head on the cab. I'm not usually into the hi-fi solid state sparkle tone, but man these cabs (and heads) just ripped! I think the "flavor of the week" brands of the 90s (SWR, GK, Trace Elliot) have the solid state thing down and are really worth checking out. The Trace Elliot tone is not my favorite (I'm a GK guy) but if I had to pick a #2, I'd say it's a tie between Trace and SWR.

I ended up buying a gk mb200 for a simple backup amp, but not sure if it i am going to keep it or not. I played through a tc electronics classic 450 and the Trace Elliot 410 cab. In all my searching for an amp this was the best sounding combination of everything I have played over the last few years. The cab was so smooth and wonderful and paired with that head I was really pleased.

As I stated before to anyone in the area if you ever get a chance stop at Sweetwater. It is the best music store I have ever been to, and the sales staff was great. You won't find an American made Lakland hanging on the wall of your local guitar center. If it is in their warehouse and for sale, they will get it for you to play on.

I played a 7215M combo for many years and loved it. I still have it. It is probably the best sound I've gotten on anything I've ever owned, and with the best definition, too. I can honestly say that it is "me," sound-wise.

I bought my Markbass combo because the old Trace is just too heavy for me and my old back these days. I can't say that the Markbass sounds any better, but it sure is lighter.

Bands that do not have a stack of green behind the bass player always look, and sound, kind of naked to me .... it makes me feel short changed.

There's even more love for the amps and combo too....

Hey Christoper... Where ya been man? Haven't seen ya on the Team Trace Elliot thread in a while....
