Sorry, too much strings and besides, not a fan of Chinese instruments. I've heard that they're almost impossible to

intonate

Bump.

Trades/p ex considered. More photos added.

Reluctant sale but just not getting used much any more. Rare beast. Gumtree link below.

Hehe, I'll go and throw myself behind a train now!

Looks like your best option so far!

My daughters learning, she's only 4 though, although that's about your mental age Scotty!

I am interested Graham, it would be good to try both of them out. Ashdown cabs are quality like.

Anthing i want... it handles 800w.

The 500 won't smoke the Hartke XL cab and will sound amazing.

The XL range is Hartke's best stuff.

More efficient than the Ashdown.

Nice and light, too.

I'm really hoping it does, I'm open minded but me and ashdown don't tend to get on, amp wise. Weight is an issue to a degree and ive heard the xl's are fine and light. A sexy rig would be!

What is the head?

Darn few put out 500w into 8ohms so Adam's cab should to it.

The HA1000 does, but the Kilo is a bit of a wimp, so is probably safe.

I have a Trace 800w 8ohm 410.

Its a hartke lh500 its 4ohms and is really designed for their hydrive cabs. Class A tube driven, solid state output capable of bi-amping. Hopefully Adams cab will work well enough. Interested in Grahams ash down too tho. What are you putting through your trace?

To be fair, there isn't as much volume difference between hooking up an 8 ohm cab and a 4 ohm cab. Double the watts does not equal double the perceived volume. Cab sensitivity and configuration (number/size of drivers, porting) counts for a lot when it comes to the amount of air being kicked around. I wouldn't discount a good 8 ohm cab solely on the basis of its impedance. I gigged for years with a Hartke HA3500 into an 8 ohm Ashdown ABM 4x10 (so that's 230W instead of the 350W at 4 ohms). Never wanted for volume.

Maybe worth a look then. Head will be here Monday so could give it a blast? Got a deal on a new hartke head matt so went for that instead of a red sub or promethean. Comes with a 4 year warranty too.

Sheeeat, 8ohms that would've been perfect too! I've got the combo with me today Adam so just give me a shout. Cheers Graham, look forward to hearing from you.

Aye I would like to know graham but Adam, well interested! Let me know the wattage and I'll take it from there. Its a hartke lf500 that I'm looking to get a cab for.

Aye, its a 4ohm I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

Wrong ohmage Graeme, and a bit pricey for me right now. And Stevie, not if I keep it at my work!

As stated, I'm aifter a bass cab that'll hunnle 500w. A 410 would be fine bit would look it a 215 ina.

Bump

I was thinking a marshall mb30 or something similar. Although I'd really like a Trace Elliot 712 SMC GP7! But that's a bit big too really! For gigging I'll just hire til I can afford my own head and that.
