Seems to be well received. TE is high quality stuff, and if you can get a good deal on it then are gonna get some ace gear.

The Cabs have a massive sound too. I know someone will say "its a 4x10 of course its gonna sound loud lol" but its not that, even next to 4x10s of other brands, they just have a much richer, fuller sound.

Indeed, I played through some tiny trace elliot a few nights back during a performance. Usually i play through a 200w Abbey amp with the band, and at first i was worried the trace elliot wasnt going to put out enough... Oh how wrong i was. :thumb:

It's a shame the colour scheme they use has to be so odd though :(

Do Trace Elliot do 2x10 combo with the 7Band EQ? I can only find it with the 12.

Sorry for the mini-hijack.

I'm almost positive that they have in the past, and since it's pretty damn hard to get anything new outta them because Peavey doesn't seem to be doing much better than Gibson did with them I'd have to say that there's a chance that you'll run across one...

Gayboys, that would've been a huge price reduction :upset:

Trace Elliots are so badass. I can't really even explain it. I think if my 4x12 Trace Elliot cab were stolen, I would just sit down and cry. Because

a) thats a heavy mofo and I certainly couldn't molest/penetrate whoever singlehandedly removed from my domocile

b) I could never find another cab like it again. It was prototype made for the bass player from Jamiroquai.

Seriously, its so lush and full. It works great for my Triple XXX head AND for my Demeter HB-600. Seriously, I can vouch for the cabs. They are INSAAAAAANE! WITH 6 A's! AMG!! Seriously, cabs are great. Haven't heard a bad one yet.

Yep, I love my "Mark King in a box" 4x10. Awesome piece of kit.
