Team Trace Elliott Pt 3

[Schlyder]

I prefer the older stuff. Better value for your money, and better sound. IMHO.

That ah400gp12smx is an awesome grab.

That ah300gp12smx I scored a couple weeks ago will be on the way to the amp tech in another week or so. I hope it's an inexpensive fix.

Ok. Here's a better pic of my new practice amp. I traded an SWR GOLIATH SR for both pieces.

 

[Tracebassplayer]

I wish I could trade my 1048h for a couple of the 210 cabs.

There's a couple 1028's on GC and they do trade out as well as trade in.

What state are you in?

 

[Tracebassplayer]

Oh duh. Wisconsin.

 

[Jaymi]

I am about to own a nice Trace 8x10....no specs yet..should have it in a week or two..as if I don't have enough cabs already??

[Jaymi]

Dammmit!!!!

Where are the 1088/1084 cabs around Portland????

They're always far drom here but, close to someone I know.

I seen one on the gc website but it was missing its badge.....seems fishy to me and I don't trust f2f enough to have really looked into it to know that it is legit.

It's almost time for Team Trace Elliot Pt 4

Ideally I would like to find a 2x10 at a reasonable price so that I could have my choice in configurations. Just 2x10 for practice. 2x10+ 1x15 for smaller shows then the 4x10 + 1x15 for when I want to be heard from space, you know the uzual

Distorted sound not much volume on my AH400SMX

Started out with just a loud pop and loud hum and no sound (music)...
I took it out of the case, took the top cover off, canned air blew the dust and cobwebs (literally) out of it.
It literally looked like it had been stored at the Munsters mansion for 100 years inside.

Ran a 1/4" plug several times in /out of each 1/4" jack.
now, No more loud pop and hum but, only low volume of distorted music. I mean like 2 watts of sound at 5 on the output level (master).

I piped it into my AH1200SM via the effects loops and only slight buzz from the 1200's black-light and the 400's input gain affects the volume but, I get plenty of good loud bass type sound from the amp. like 500 watts of good loud clean bass

like this:
Bass to AH400SMX, Set input gain to optimal signal,
AH40SMX effects "send" to
AH1200SM effects "return"
Speaker connected to AH1200SM

This sounds GREAT.

The AH400SMX on it's own sounds like listening to a set of headphones laying on top of the amp head playing a bass with a nice warm overdrive pedal.

I hear ya... Watch Craigslist. There's an overpriced 1084 in Fresno for 750..
But no, I saw a couple 1028 listed too as well as on GC's used gear. You can negotiate them down usually a Buck if not at least $50.00

Being heard from space is not the same as INTERRUPTING their converstation...
