Has anyone seen/heard/played through the NEW Trace Elliot line? I understand they should be well distributed through Europe by now, and some should be trickling into the USA around now. If so...opinions? Are they as good as before? Better? Mike | ||

Mike, I havenīt played yet, but I plan to do in the near future. As you know I currently play an Eden rig but I am currently changing and am putting a rig like John together with the Digitechs, the ASS cabs etc..... Oliver (Spyderman) | ||

Mike. From emails I exchanged with the new TE info line back in May, I don't believe they'll be hitting the shops until mid-october at the soonest. Graeme | ||

Oh yeah, I've seen this. And yeah, sure, I can afford it. AND haul it around. But I bet the tone is DEADLY with a Spyder bass! That set-up of his circa '78, with the Sunn cabs, Stramp pres, etc. sounded the best to me of all his rigs. | ||

The Stramps have been removed so you don't get those with the set up...also, as I understand it many of the cabinets were sitting in an out building at Quarwood for years, no heat, damp, etc. so I don't know what kind of shape they'd be in. Finally, to get his sound you'd have to turn them all the way up. The reason he went to digital processing ie:Digitechs and the like was so he could play more softly & get the distortion he wanted. I know only Oliver & Mike care about this stuff so I'll stop now. | ||

Guys, I already checked the things offered by Greg of RSG. The problem is, as Irwin said, that those things have been stored for years in a separate building at Johns former home. No one can guarantee if they are working. So I rather have decided to change my current rig to Johns last one, with the Ashdown preamp and poweramps, the Digitech 2120, Quad 4 etc.etc. With this I have all the sound possibilites...

There's enough room in that rig for a family of four. |
