just my opinion, but I hate these S.S. amps-they sound OK like this but disappear once in a band setting. Just MY OPINION OK!!!!

[ovrdrvn]

I do hearya, you can EQ that into your tone so that a "S.S." amp will cut BUT... I do address how the tube pre/bit-o-grit with the Trace 12 Band amp helps to grind through a band setting a bit better... that should be up by tomorrow night :)

and yes, thanks for watching AND for you opinion!

cheers!!

[lilcody69]

how many strings on that thing 6?

[ovrdrvn]

yep, it's a Peavey U.S. made Cirrus 6 Tiger Eye w/ maple fingerboard... pretty stellar bass.

:)

[ovrdrvn]

and BTW, I use a 4 string("real bass" hehehehe) for the 1215 combo demo.... should be posted by the week-end.

;)

You Really Can't Appreciate The Tone Until Your There, When The Floor Is Rumbling And The Waves Are Punching You In The Chest.... =)

[Kiskasexologa]

YOU SUCK!

[lvitch]

Wow that sounds like ass....have to keep looking for old old trace...

[TheBadAssKiller]

Sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!!

@Pinstripedtie Wow... I had no idea the new stuff was so bad, but I guess it makes sense. Chinese, Indonesian, and Vietnamese electronics are the name of the game now in instruments, seemingly.

The only two really great amps or combos I've had over the past 7 years or so, beside the aforementioned old Peavey, have been a Hartke HA3500/VX215 (which i sold due to size of the cab - no need for something that big) and my Trace. The Trace is here for life. With my Warwick, I shred the mix.

@quehannaband @quehannaband Guess what?? Even MarkBass has been having NUMEROUS problems with a lot of their gear coming in on warranty!! I had to LMT 800 heads that fried on me in less than 40 days!! Now go ask Guitar Center and they will tell you that MarkBass is not standing behind their warranty anymore. I even tried contacting them when it happened to me and they basically answered my email with a bunch of hog wash nonsense!! the bottom line is, that they would not fix the heads.

[Pinstripedtie]

@quehannaband OLD Trace and OLD Peavey stuff is basically very good. It's all the new stuff out that SUCKS!!! I used own gear from each company and never had a problem. Now that there are new standars to get gear out for cheaper and to find the cheapest parts a company can... they are having to warranty more and more gear!! I just can't believe these companies can't figure this stuff out in advance of making such a poor move. Moronic if you ask me. Don't believe me?? Do your own research!!

[quehannaband]

@Pinstripedtie Didn't know Peavey bought them. I have an old Trace 7215 that is a complete animal but haven't tried any new ones.

BTW, why would you not buy Peavey? I have a backup Bass head that has been abused for years and it just keeps going... It has even rolled down a flight of stairs and still sounds better than almost anything else I've ever had. :)

[Pinstripedtie]

Trace Elliot is now a PEAVEY CRAP product! They are NOT the same as the older amps that really rocked (from back in the 90's)!! I REFUSE to buy ANYTHING with the name PEAVEY on it!!

[VarykGerai]

@ovrdrvn how does grit help get through overdriven guitars?

[Killonn]

do these cabinets sound good with eden amp heads?

also, the eden head i have in mind has a 880 watt rating for max power. the cab i like the look of is the (trace elliot) 1084 which has a higher out put level than the amp head. does this mean that i have to get a head with larger output?

thanks people
