    Blown Trace Elliot tweeter in 1048H cab and question about 1518

    Finally had some time to mess around with my rig this evening. It had been awhile (I've been playing through an SWR practice amp + my computer rig) and I have to say: I'm reminded how amazingly badass the Trace sounds. So stinking loud and clear! Too much crap rattling in my basement though. As...

    Blown Trace Elliot tweeter in 1048H cab and question about 1518

    Alright, fair enough, maybe I've got an EQ problem. Over the years I've experimented with turning off the pre-shape and tweaking the 12 band, but I actually do like the "classic" Trace sound -- just through the 4x10. Maybe logging a couple thousand hours through that rig has trained my ear :)...

    Blown Trace Elliot tweeter in 1048H cab and question about 1518

    Jungleheat, when you say it sounds amazing, what kind of music do you play? I believe I have a good specimen -- maybe I'm playing the wrong bass through it (a Fender '57 precision vintage re-issue and a couple other early 80's jazz / p copies) or setting the EQ wrong? I generally like the...

    Blown Trace Elliot tweeter in 1048H cab and question about 1518

    Here's a photo of one resembling mine: Link Removed Downunder, as for the 15 not pairing well sonically with the 4x10 cab, that's a new one to me -- wish I had of known that before I went down this route years ago. I actually had a 1048 and the 1048H before I sold the non-horn version and...

    Trace Elliot - New vs Old

    I always heard they somehow "were not as good" after they started making them in the states, but they basically sounded the same to me every time I demoed them in stores (I have a British AH350SMX + 1048 + 1518 setup.)

    Blown Trace Elliot tweeter in 1048H cab and question about 1518

    Hey all, I have owned a Trace rig since my teens (AH350SMX, 1048H and 1518 cabs). It was one of those shipped from Europe back when they still came from there -- I remember waiting for it for months. Here's the thing. When I was younger and stupider, I blew the tweeter by running a DOD grunge...
