Trace cabs are ok but it depends on the price.

I got my 1048 years ago from a guy who taught bass. I also bought his Trace AH300 head at the same time. Neither has let me down and it still sounds great.

If it's all good, and a good price, put the money you save toward a quality amp.

You know what most everybody here is gonna say cuz everybody blows their fave horn.

Alls I can tell you is if it weren't for that dang Dargie Delight thang I'd be out test driving lightweight Ash*s and Ed*ns to push my creamy old TE 1518 BigBox.

Fact is my TE AH250 still does a wunnerful job, but at 65 lbs I keep wearing out my roadeez.

Just remember one thang, them good ol' TE cabs were made for Brit style amps by Brit style babes that wore good old fashioned Brit style bras and sweaters

With the Trace you have to go Ashdown. Tried a GK800/TE combo once (it was a house rig) - didn't seem to mesh right. Later that year they threw a Ashdown ABM on top and it was killer!

Big thumbs up on the Ashdown. ABM if you can afford it.
