I've seen pics of the odd 4x15 so it's plausible.

Here is a link and it has the 4x15 for sale.

Man thats pretty good deals on cabs! I wish I could snag that 4x15! A rare cab for my rare head!

 

[Jaymi]

Whoa!

 

[Aragorn35016]

I bet it would cost as much to ship that thing as what their asking for it.

 

[Jaymi]

I am thinking

 

[Downunderwonder]

I would only buy it to chop it in half and save the world from the woolly beamed up the wazoo sound. Ok if you're biamping it, but who would lump that donk around to use as a sub?

 

[Downunderwonder]

Finally got my rig set up. May I have a number please?

If it sounds like an 1153 I'd lump that thing around as a stand alone!

I called on the 1548 cab at killers . It sold months ago... Unless its back.

It probably sounds like a huge 1153 but only right in front of it. That's beaming for you.

I need some help, I have a chance to purches a vintage 1518 for a killer price but im tempeted to buy a new one instead. I have recently bought a ah350x with the gp11 mkv preamp and fell like I should stay with the vintage stuff. The problem is i am unable to try any of the new stuff with this head because no where in the state of Colorado is there any new trace stuff. What should i do??

 

[Downunderwonder]

I have one of those, big sound but a big box. If it hasn't been abused it'll go another 15 years, that one looks like it's been cared for, definitely worth checking out.

Keep your shoulder blades together when you pick it up. You could always chuck a 3015 in it.

 

[Jaymi]

grab it

Here's a question for the TE aficionados that have already recorded with these amps in the past:

My drummer is away for the summer so I got my main amp at home right now and I was thinking on recording a little with my humble studio gear. I can either send the DI output directly to my sound card or mic the cab with a cheap but quite good sounding condenser microphone (CAD GXL2200). What would you suggest?

Setup details:
Bass: 1979 Rickenbacker 4001
Amp: Trace Elliot GP7SM250
Cab: Trace Elliot 1524
Soundcard: M-Audio Fast Track Pro

Mic the cab. But I always think that sound moving through air is better than signal hitting a chip. And that's a nice bass that'll sound great through that amp.

Thanks a lot, man. I'll give it a try. My main concern was that the mic might not be good enough to capture that wet "plus" you get from the cab. In any case, experimentation goes first!

Doing both a mic and DI together and blending to taste is an option.

There now. You can use/not use either, and a blend might just hit it for you. Each gets its own channel, and voila! You have another choice to have to make!
