I've never understood why people don't simply put their location in their 'from' profile? Do they think someone will come to their local town / city, set up a noise meter to track down the location of any bass playing & then steal their gear?

Nice - I've never seen one of these in white before.

Just out of interest, do you know how much this weighs?

[quote name='jsixties' post='723120' date='Jan 24 2010, 02:15 PM']37 cm of extremely well balanced body in the widest part, a little less than a Gibson EB-2 or a Gretsh hollowbody.[/quote] That's interesting, it looks really wide in the pics but 37cm is only about 2cm more that a standard Fender J shape. I must admit that I've always thought these bodies might not balance that well but I guess the overall size plus the 32" scale mean the proportions work pretty well

Wow - just downloaded the 68MB folder of images. This is a seriously nice looking bass. Looks surprisingly large bodied - How wide is it across the widest part of the body?

Damn, just sold my Trace valve pre & a Marcus appears! I've had minor GAS for one of these since they were launched. Long time SWR fan & the pale blue colour just kills me Does it come with the footswitch?

Sorry guys - someone came in with an offer for both items and has already paid - my all time record I think!

THESE ARE NOW SOLD! Picked these up in a trade last year but really haven't used them much as I have too many other amps already! The Trace pre has a lovely smooth tone from the pair of valves and the nice interactive passive eq circuit. I've heard that lots of people use these in a studio for recording as the core sound is so nice without any nasty hiss or buzz from the valves. Nice review from Harmony Central : [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Trace+Elliot/V-Type+Preamp/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ype+Preamp/10/1[/url] [i] "As a gearhead, I've played through just about every bass amp head, cab, and preamp made in the last 10 years, and many made far earlier than that. The V-type is without a doubt, the closest thing to a compromise I've ever come to between all tube, warm vintage tone, and modern portability. Both live and in the studio, the V-type is the most articulate, natural sounding preamp I have ever used. It's somewhere in between the Aguilar DB680 and the Millenia TD-1 sound wise, but very similar to the Alembic F-1X in design. As a lightweight alternative to the legendary Trace V4, V6, or V8, it's pure, simple, British amp design brilliance."[/i] There are some sound clips here : [url="http://www.basstasters.com/preamps/Trace_Elliot_V-Type.html"]http://www.basstasters.com/preamps/Trace_Elliot_V-Type.html[/url] The Sadowsky Vintage 5 without any eq sounds pretty representative to my ears. Really is a lovely piece of kit and deserves to be used regularly The QSC is just a nice simple 2u power amp with lots of typical flexible QSC options and can be used in either stereo of bridged mono modes and runs down to 2 ohms in stero. Power options are: 2 x 200W into 8 ohms 2 x 300W into 4 ohms 2 x 430W into 2 ohms 1 x 600W into 8 ohms 1 x 830W into 4 ohms More technical guff from QSC here: [url="http://www.qscaudio.com/products/amps/rmx/rmx.htm"]http://www.qscaudio.com/products/amps/rmx/rmx.htm[/url] Both items are in fantastic condition, as the pictures hopefully show, and come in a nice shiny rack case. Ideally I'd like to sell everything as a single lot but if there's interest in both items individually then I'll be happy to split them

I have to admit that I'm really GASsing for an NS4 at the moment but I'd have to sell my NS5XL first
