Damn! And I was just about to.... -
To whom... Talked to Hiscox about a split in a case. Out of warranty, but... ...told that a soldering iron run along the split will re-seal the plastic. Handy for preventing the split getting bigger.

V8 went a while back... Current Trace amps: AH150 AH200 AH250 AH500 Current valve bass amps: Fender Bassman 135 Hiwatt 200 Sound City 100/120/200 Marshall JMP 50/JMP 100 But you probably want a V8.... ...sigh.... -
Clean adn cheap enuf. Screaming out for a set of USA 6550s to make it the bass amp it was born to be.. -
Friend needs to punt his Bassman 100. I have a 135 and a 70, so said I would pass the opportunity onto you... My tech services it regularly. Good, honest piece that has been cranking out de-tuned guitar for a couple of years with no issues. Valves still fine - 1 recent replacement that matched t'other 3. He wants £450. I would expect he would incl. del. but I haven't checked (forgot to ask). [attachment=24948:bassman_head_mike.jpg]

Dynacord Bass King T valve head
Thornybank replied to Beer of the Bass's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Heard this when matching to a 1x15 cab - '70s Peavey with a cast frame 16ohm Celestion 100w. Warm, rich, fat sound. Good wee home/studio thing. -
Hi Jack to jack always useful. How many and how much?

Peavey Mark IV head, spares or repair

Hi My pal techs at a shop there on Thursdays. If you can drop it by Strung Out, I'll give you a decent set of strings or WHY for the effort. Cheers Chris 07973 912164 -
Decent enuff chap. SAys he is switching to keybaords after 9 yeas on bass. Clearly all second hand to nim. The bass is nice - a '92, so gloss neck. Black on black with black knobs. Several wee dings along the bottom, some buckle rash, some pinhole/string dinks on the headstock. Quarter sawn, flamey neck with enough birdseyes for the purist. The combo has three different styles of speakers (chap says he wasn't aware), changed pre and post knobs (sweep instead of click). Everything works and it really pokes. The 410 cab is a 300w Series 6 with some red paint on one edge. The strap is a well worn narrow levys. No speaker lead. Cheap but functional gig bag. Hard case is a cheapie and falling apart. Spare set of Bass Centre stainless = fret shredders. The bass is a solid £750 worth. The combo sounds very good, so ... £300 as a bargain player's piece? Would grace any practice room. The 410 is fine, so ...£250(ish)?

I got mine with a Mk4 1x15 combo - the tall one. Chap used to put it on top as his extension. Jayziz. But we were younger then... ...so much younger...

I always do that - you can't tell what a rig can do by noodling in a corner of a shop. And I always give an honest price behind all the extra help. I have no idea where the "what's it worth" thing is coming from. All the shops around phone me for pricing advice! Anyway... I can continue to enjoy the stunning sound of a full stack of ply cab fatness and smooth, efficient drivers being spanked by 250 'old Trace' watts. It's what put Trace/British bass on the map and hasn't been done as well by anybody since. There are other great sounds, but none better.... -
The rig is for sale, as are all the individual items trialled.

Jeff, there are some things missing from your description.... 2 hours of live/full volume direct comparison trial of heads: AH150 MkV AH200 Ser 6 AH250 Mk2 AH250 MkV Through cabs individually and as stacks: Trace 410Mk2 Trace 410H Ser 6 Trace 15+10 Ser 6 Trace 1x15 MkV Trace 15+18 Mk1 And to confirm tonality preference: Hartke USA 410 Marshall Jubilee 1x15 And to confirm stack is reequired: AH150 Mk2 1x15 combo with/without extension cab In every combination for two hours. Throwing in a Premium ++ grade XLR-XLR and Jack-Jack speaker leads. Then, pull a Mk2 1x15 to match the favoured 410. Finding a problem with the driver, replace with an original replacement Fane 200 and bring the cab to town in time for a trial. [i]Now[/i] let's see... MkV AH250 with footswitch and silent fan and working UV unit (full tech checkup 2 weeks ago) Matched cab stack - clean/just a few knocks and the usual logo scrapes black painted solid ply with orig 50w Celestion 10"s and Fane 15" - try to find one of those, let alone a stack With top grade leads And promising solid tech support in the event of anything emerging in the first wee while of ownership. And letting you have it for a full rehearsal with no deposit. And allowing swap back and full trade in if you change your mind on amp or cab based on the prices discussed. And paying by cheque. All in all, a milk 'n honey tone powerhouse dark chocolate thunderstack that you personally chose in preference to some of the stuff you have listed in your brief.

No bigger full-on bass sound than a Trace MkV. There is one in for sale for £300 with a set of drivers. Buy it and I'll take the speakers! Or an AH250 head. From the days when Trace defined British bass. Blows an Ashdown 500 away. These are around for sub-£300. Thing to note: my tech was inside an Ashdown mini head today. Cracks in circuit board from board mounted heat sink = bounce/flex/split. Basic design flaw - and you'll see it in other models and by other makers. GUARANTEED future breakdown and repair costs. GUARANTEED. Beware.

Errrmmm.... I supplied 5 PM premium Chinese 12AX7s at only £9 each. They reside under their can covers behind the shielding plate. Also, the amp has had the bias adjusted to take a range of valves. If they are new htey whould just pop in and be happy together. SC120s have 6 valves, so nothing is overworked. I have seen them running on only 2 valves. Pushing about 22 watts. Loud as &*%$ still. And those partridge transformers didn't care a jot. It is only the goofy active preamp that keeps them from being boutique grade classics. And you can strip that out and replace it - or put in a bypass and run them with an outboard pre... Cheers Chris PS Plenty more Sound Cities in the stack...
