[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

Pics are from the Sims site in their gallery of finished jobs and some pics will be heading to you soon too
