Now sold thanks.

<BUMP for weekend> Just one solid offer so far. A decision will be made Mon/Tue.

<BUMP for weekend> May consider offers - though I won't have PC access this Sunday. TRADES (+ any cash adjustments either way) - Millennia STT-1 - Consider other high-end channel strips - Trace V-Type pre - early 60s Fender P - sunburst/rosewood - Steinberger L2 - Berg EX112ER It'll probably go in to a music shop for commission sale next week as I could do with the space before next weekend.

[quote name='SS73' post='874132' date='Jun 22 2010, 08:59 AM']Did you have it on evilbay a couple of weeks ago?.[/quote] No. This is the 1st time I have offered it for sale. I only took the pics a couple of days ago. If it doesn't sell here I shall probably take it to my local music shop for a commision sale or keep it for a while longer.

[quote name='richardd' post='873372' date='Jun 21 2010, 12:12 PM'] Hi Are you taking any trades on this,I have a mint GK700RB in a Flightcase Wharehouse Flight case,also mint [/quote] I'm scaling down really but could be interested in high-end channel strips such as Millennia STT-1, or maybe Kern IP777 or some other interesting pre (with any cash adjustments). I'm no longer looking for amps. Thanks - Mark.

BUMP for pics

BUMP for pics.

I'd be interested in the pre.

Ampeg 100 watt V4B valve head. From what I can make out it's probably a 1976-1979 model. When I had it serviced I requested a fan to be added to prolong the life of the tubes. I figured most savvy tube amps have them as standard. The fan is a little noisier than I'd like but it can be removed or swapped easily enough if you prefer. Condition-wise it's about a 7/10 (it would be someone's 8/10 I'm sure). It has a few scratches around the input jacks which seem to vary greatly depending on viewing angle. I bought new Ampeg vintage grill cloth and new knobs for it from Fliptops in the States in addition to a set of new JJ 7027 tubes. It's quite a big amp and fairly heavy. But it says 'Ampeg' and has sparkly grill cloth...classic USA Ampeg just like Grandma used to make! It's pointless me keeping it as I've settled on Berg IP and need to make some space. Sound is big and warm and regretfully I've never been able to turn it up to hear it in it's full glory as I do studio stuff only these days. It's cost me about £650 in all (probably more). I'm going to ask £550 for it. Pick up preferred from Doncaster. Pics below.

As part of my scaling down of gear this beauty is next in line. The Trace all valve range is one of the best there is. Many people look upon the V8 as the Rolls Royce of valve amps, well, this V4 is a 200 watt version of that. It has the exact same preamp as the later V8 with the extra OD gain and tube compressor. It's basically the last of the original Trace Elliots. Made in UK. I've owned a few tube amps over the years and all can sound good - but only when turned up to the sweet spot. This can be a problem when you want to play at low volume. Usually preamp gain sounds fizzy in comparison. What stands out for me about this amp is that the preamp gain can sound great and bottley as you turn up. It beats any preamp I have ever used for this. The amp has a half power mode so you can run at 100 watts. It has a zillion tubes in it and a weird one that lights up a green bar as you turn up! It sounds the bomb - warm and punchy in a way only an all-tube amp can do. Being a modern tube amp it has modern features and can be biased using the lights on the rear panel. I bought it about 5 years ago as NOS. It's never been gigged and is in good condition. It's only had moderate use indoors. I will post pics soon. Here is the model: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=10285&view=findpost&p=109286"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=109286[/url] I'm not too sure what it's worth. I have seen Bass Cellar advertise a similar NOS model for £2500 on the bay. As ebay and paypal is daylight robbery with stupid fees I'm putting it on here first for £1075. Pick up is preferred. I'm based in Doncaster. TRADES: will consider Millennia STT-1 plus any cash adjustments.

Pics up now. EDIT: This is now on hold subject to payment. Thanks for the interest.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='866040' date='Jun 13 2010, 03:28 PM']Might be interested in the F500, do you have pictures? Original box? Cheers[/quote] Pics will be up later today. It has been in it's bag since new and hardly used. I'm pretty sure the original box has gone now. I do keep most of my boxes but as I have the bag I didn't see the need for this box. F500 on it's own would be £580 + postage.

I've finally decided that my rig of choice is a Berg IP + preamp after months and months of back and forth deliberation. So now I'm going to take the plunge and sell my 'real' amps. Somewhat tentatively I offer up a mint (and I do mean mint) Markbass F500 amp. Ridiculously small and light it is like a turbo-charged F1 with more flexible EQ and better DI out. I will also include the proper Markbass branded amp bag which keeps things nice and scratch-free. These bags are about £80 by themselves. The amp has had very little home use and is just like new. It seems the going rate today is £749 without the bag. With bag about £825. I'm asking £630 plus postage for both here prior to evilbay. Pics to follow later today. TRADES: Could be interested in Kern IP777, Alembic F2-B, Millennia STT-1 preamps with suitable cash adjustments. NOW WITH PICS: This is now on hold subject to payment. Thanks for the interest. NOW SOLD. THANKS.
