    Marshall 1525 silver cabinet

    It's a great cab. I don't know what it's worth though. At one point I thought about selling it because I could use the space, but I'm glad I didn't. I bought mine new back in 1987 and I've had it ever since. I can't remember what I paid for it back then.

    marshall 4x10?

    It is a model 1515 with celestion 10" drivers. It is made in Bletchley, England. I believe Marshall intended the 4x10 to sit atop either the 1x15 or 2x15 (Model 1515 or 1525). I have never played the 4x10, but I own the 1525 and it is a great cab, very well constructed. These cab's are rare...

    I think I'll order a Marshall MB450H today..

    Thanks for the feedback, gents. I had read about the fan being audible, but hopefully it's not at an annoying level.

    I think I'll order a Marshall MB450H today..

    ...and stick it on top of my Marshall 1525 cab. I wish I could play through one first, but no one has them in stock. They are special order only. I realize there are other decent options at this price range ($500) but I've never liked mixing brands for some reason. From what I've read from...

    Team Trace Elliot!

    Has anyone else experienced poor product support from Peavey, as I have? I own a number of Peavey amps and other gear and have always received great support from Peavey, but with Trace Elliot gear, it's like they are not fully committed to supporting it. My emails go unanswered, phone support...

    How will you setup?

    Great feedback, thank you. The other band members typically turn their amps to the side. Either way (facing front or to the side) I think works with the equipment and stage setup, but I am more incline to face cab forward just because I hear everything better. It's better for me, but perhaps...

    How will you setup?

    Okay, you're setting up to play in a room that will have 200-300 people. The stage is raised approximately 2 1/2' up and is very spacious. The room is wider than it is deep, so your audience will extend off to the sides beyond the width of the stage. The entire band will be mic'd or running...

    Trace Elliot Question

    I recently purchased a T.E. 1210 combo (has 2x10's). Like you, I really like the tone and punch I get out of it. But I wanted more bottom end so I picked up a 1518c extension cab. I spent some time playing and comparing with/without the extension cab while I was at the store, before I made my...

    suggestions PLEASE

    Think big picture, or you will end up pouring more money into another amp. Get something that will have the power to handle at least medium sized gigs. That way you have the power if needed in the future.

    How do you run to the board....

    Sounds like the Audix I-5 is worth checking out. I would like to hear the difference between running direct out (post) and using a good mic. I can swing the $100 for the I-5.

    How do you run to the board....

    I think I'll give it a try with an SM57 and if I really like it, invest in a better mic for bass frequencies.

    How do you run to the board....

    What mic do you use?

    How do you run to the board....

    That's a good idea. So are you blending both signals at the same time, or just have one or the other ready to go in the event of a problem?

    How do you run to the board....

    I always mic my guitar cab's when playing live (I play guitar also), but use my amps XLR DI outputs or a direct box when playing bass. I'm curious what the consensus is on this.

    Using Bass Chorus.....

    I think adding a little bass chorus on slower, more melodic songs adds a nice touch to my sound. Just curious how many use chorus.

    GK 400RB Question

    Yeah, I've never had any issues with my 400RB and I've owned it for over 20 years. It's never been serviced, never needed to. Maybe I'm just fortunate.

    GK 400RB Question

    Gallien-Krueger has been producing the 400RB for a long time. I'm curious if the newer models are considered more desirable, or less desirable than older models. For instance I have a 400RB head manufactured in 1985. Are the electronics and overall construction considered better than what's...

    the TRACE ELLIOT thread: Part II

    I can hear the natural character of my bass coming through, but this amp allows me to accentuate aspects of that character as well as the ability to adjust that character in a way that I haven't experienced in other bass amps. I admit though that there are many amps that I have not played...

    the TRACE ELLIOT thread: Part II

    No, I haven't gigged with it yet, but will soon. I'll keep you posted. Another way I would describe this amp to you is that it has lots of character. When I drink a beer, I want a dark, robust beer. When I drink wine, I like it strong and almost thick. When I cook, I prepare my meals...

    the TRACE ELLIOT thread: Part II

    Didn't know that either. That's good info. Thanks. As far as my rig goes, here's what I can tell you....... Like many bass players these days, I've had a desire to downsize my setups to make moving equipment around easier. Reducing size and weight, while maintaining the overall quality of...

    Marshall 1525 Jubilee 2x15 Cab

    I've never had the opportunity to play bass through another Marshall cab, nor have I seen another Marshall cab like this one, whether pre or post Jubilee. At the time I purchased this cab, I did play through the full Jubilee setup (2x15, 410 & tube head) and I was very impressed. But as you...

    Marshall 1525 Jubilee 2x15 Cab

    I'm the original owner of a Marshall model 1525 Jubilee 2x15 cabinet (with silver tolex). I gigged with it for about 5 years in the late eighties to early nineties. I still have the head I used too, an early eighties GK 400RB. This was actually a good sounding setup with the Marshall cab...
