Right. The speaker stays. It's in remarkably good nick for a 25yr old speaker anyhow. Thanks for all the responses guys. Now to find a matching cab. :drool:

I suppose so. I'm just trying to understand why bass enclosures are so different to guitar ones.

Cheers @fdeck. It still works fine. Just a bit of dust and fluff welded to the surround. I just thought 'Could Do Better', and I like to tinker. Speaker swaps rarely seem to be a problem with guitar amps. Bass amps: different animal (as I'm learning). The SS amp is 130W at 4 ohms. The stock 8...

I suspect that this has been covered before, but I'll be damned if I can find the thread. Sorry. Soooo, I suggested I might change the speaker in a '96 Trace Elliot 712 SMC combo and was advised it was a gamble. The original (discontinued) speaker is a Celestion BG12S 100 8 ohm. How are you...

OK, point(s) taken. Cheers @Sparky Mark. The original fan is still for sale new so that may be a better buy. And the speaker seems to be in good condition, so maybe I'll keep with it until it isn't!

It's the first physical graphic EQ I've had, and the compressor too (only multi-effects ones so far). So the whole amp is a step up in power and features from anything I've had before. I need to set up a looper to dial it in soon, when I can make some noise (work at home partner!). And a...

I don't really have a couple of meters to spare in the room! LOL It's fine. The hum almost disappears when I stand a bit off-axis, and the amp is setup about a foot and a half away from a plastered wall and sloping ceiling under the roof in a converted loft (see the pic). That's why I can hear...

Hi @hajatantely. Admittedly, a bit late (Necro Necro Necro), but I just got the same amp. The fan in mine works fine but is quite noisy in my practice room. It came fitted with a Motor One D08T12LWS fan too. That fan has a noise rating of 23 dbA. There are quieter ones available for the PC...

Dimensions: H 23" (560mm) / W 18 3/4" (475mm) / D 13 1/2" (343mm). If I take the front panel PCB off in the future I'll post pics.

8/95 on the transformer coil, so August 1995. But 24/3/96 on the PCB. No ground lift on the back. Back Panel Facilities - TRACE ELLIOT SMC RANGE Operating Instructions Manual [Page 8] | ManualsLib I have now had a poke around inside and found nothing untoward, except maybe the fan is what I...

Cheers @Hawk256. But now that I have this one home, I am noticing a hum (60Hz?) that may become intolerable unless there is a solution. I think the shop was too noisy for me to have heard it (and I did try to listen). It is a high pitched hum that is definitely from the power section, as it it...

Almost on a whim, I decided to trade in some unused pedals and my Fender Rumble 25W bass practice amp, and bag a fairly tidy Trace Elliot 712 SMC combo for £149 (£60 after the trade). It's 130W (well, maybe 75W without another 8 ohm cab plugged in) and has a 7 band EQ and compressor onboard...

Is there any way to exchange B1 Four patch data with others using the 'text' data that the Multistomp pedals can use? E.g. This is an Ambient patch for the MS70-CDR that someone posted in a forum...

Hi @Whale. So, not strictly a homemade bass, but I did make it myself at a music college guitar making course I attended for a couple of years in the early 90's. It is a Stingray 4-string copy with an MM Bartolini and active circuitry. ESP bridge and Schaller tuners. Mahogany body, maple neck...
