    FS/FT Trace Elliot V6

    I have to agree. I have the V4 with the same tubes. Love the tone!!!!

    Trace Elliot replacement speakers

    When I bought this rig I wanted to go with the 18" bottom. not the 15" Why would two 4-10 cab's perform better than the 4-10 on-top of a 15" or 18" cabinet?

    The V4 only supports 4 and 8 ohm's. My cabinets are 16 ohm each putting my ohm setting at 8.

    So ...I ditch the 15 and add another identical 4-10... making it a 2x 4-10 w/t horn, ...I will not be looking for more head room or for it to be loud enough with my Trace Elliot V4 head?

    ie: Dumping the 15" What are the pro's or con's with the 15? I thought it really fattened up the tone and helped move some serious air.

    Best Method to Compare Amps

    Take your bass, cords, and any effects you might be using. That is exactly what i did when pro am went outta Buisness. They had a few really nice Trace Elliot bass heads for sale. I brought my whole set up and compared my AH300SMX12 to the newer AH600SMX12 stereo, and the Trace Elliot all...

    Are tribute bands successful?

    I have played bass in a Joe Satriani cover band on and off for the past 18 years or better. We added a few Eric Johnson, a few from Greg Howe and some old school Jeff Beck instrumentals. I say on and off because it never worked. Most people would rather stick a fork in their ear, than sit...
