So a 3X10 cab would be what 12 ohms ? Assuming you originally had 4 8 ohm drivers in series parallel? SMH

Venues that insist you use their crappy back line including some underpowered transistor-y type bass amp that clips the minute you drop your low B

You can easily do a revalve yourself but 12ax7/ec83 tubes generally last years unless they have become microphonic or have been used in hi gain stages in guitar amps. Bass amps generally speaking are not hi gain preamp stages although some grit is nice when desired. That amp is not a high gain...

Warwick Streamer 1982 German the Trace Elliot GP12SMX is for gigging the Fender Super Bassman 300 stays home for rehearsals and recording. The 4x12 Trace cabs also stay home I use a Epifani 1x15 and an SWR Big Ben 18” Bag End for gigs much easier than tearing down the whole rig

That’s a nice head I have the same one but if it has the BiPolar Bear output stage make sure the grounding wire has a star washer. If not, file the chassis for a good connection and add one. If there is no great ground connection they will blow the output stage and take out any connected cab>...

Having recently saved up for a Fender Super Bassman, cant say that I'm any hurry to but some more gear. I have 2 rigs I run the Fender (80 lbs?) through 2 Brit Made Trace Elliott 4X10Hs (4 Celestions with a bullet tweeter) 75 lbs EACH) but all the cabs are on wheels and I have a wheeled road...

Bassist, Drummer , Guitarist

The MEC pickup got bjorked in this battleaxe so threw this basslines NYC in there. Originally the volume was a push pull pot to do series or parallel between the 2 coils but I'm waiting on a Switch so I can select south pole/series/parallel.

Oh BTW, I have been running this with the following settings... Everything on 6. Hot channel blend on 2. Front end volumes as high as I can get depending on bass to match levels. Master as needed. I run passive basses in input1 with the bright/deep engaged and active basses in input 2 with the...

Running a just received Super Bassman 300 for a festival gig Saturday. Havent gigged it yet, but rehearsals have been spectacular. Through 2 british made Trace Elliot 1048H cabs. Should be the bees knees....

You will have to pry this bass out of my cold dead arthritic hands, awesome action, sounds great, and plays like butter. I am the original owner. At this momement I have a 1973 Les Paul vintage bass, a "made to ordre" ESP 4 stringer bass from when they were a fledgling shop in NYC in the 80's...

Added an eminence compression driver and crossover at 3.5K..... OK I think Im done. For the next week, at least. Until I find a vintage TRACE 1x15 cabinet in great shape....

PS as a preventative measure, I did mount a 4.5 inch 120v cooling fan (yes, from radio shack) in the road case directly behind the heat sink of the amp.

I could be wrong, but...... My GP12SMX has the AH250 power amp output stage. I too, read about the "star washer" issue and got me to have a poke about inside. I noticed... Yes, there is chassis ground that I took off the screw to. There WAS a star washer there. It did look a little oxidised, so...

I use a pseudo mid scoop on the graphic. No preshape. Then according to the room I use the Sound Management balance as needed. I cant stress enough how much this affects your ability to keep your eq but adjust to the room as needed. I got a 1993 4X10 cab today from craigs list.....

Well, I'm generally not inclined to use "preset" eq settings unless I'm plugging into a house backline and need to get a decent sound relatively quickly. That being said, according to TE.... "PRE SHAPE 1 is the classic TRACE ELLIOT EQ as found on Series 6 units, it adds a boost at both the low...

Picked up a MINT condition 1994 GP12SMX RAH 250 at GC with 4 space rack for $300 yesterday. Opened up the unit and tube/innards are so clean looks like it rolled off the assembly line yestreday. I AM getting a slight bit of distortion at low levels and a bit of 60 cycle hum even in standby. I...

Come on. Am I the only guy who has a BH500

OK, so in the quest to explore hooking up multiple cabs with the BH500, like a 3rd speaker on the other side of the stage, or behind the drummer, i explored feeding an external amp through the front panel XLR output. First, i tried an old school Carver PM 300 that i use for close field...

OK, so in the quest to explore hooking up multiple cabs with the BH500, i explored feeding an external amp through the front panel XLR output. First, i tried an old school Carver PM 300 that i use for close field monitoring and mixing ( I LOVE this amp for its accurate sound, not for loudness.)...

This is working pretty well for me......BH500, dbx 163x, a jbl pa cabinet, and a eden 2x10 cab that i loaded with celestions that they used in trace elliot cabs from avatar. I traded a eden 1x15 ombo for the bin brand new, and reloaded the eden cab. The eden combo sounded great but just wasnt...

Sorry bro didnt see the last post. Im looking for one of these......

Do you still have this for sale?

Man I had that acoustic head back in the day with a 2X15 cab I think ....

Yeah this allegedly was a special ordre when they started doing customs and someone didnt pay for it so it went up on the wall. I was working in sigma and hit factory and wandered down to the music row and found it. My guitarist had just got a red crackle ESP horizon 6 string w floyd rose and he...

Headstock. I added the pink pig on the truss rod cover one time when i was, ummm, "traveling"

This was my first REAL bass. I picked it up in NYC around the time that the first George Lynch "Kamikaze" ESPs started being built. It came with some passive pickups which were OK, but these EMGs were in a Burnside Lance bass that had a severely bowed neck so in the ESP they went! I love this bass
