Hey So... a 500w 8ohm 2x15 might be OK? I have a Trace one and TGEvans has a Marshall/Sidewinder one (luv thoz!). A soundfile might be useful - except that the Zoom will be sucking all the tone. Is it all brittle and transaprent and hifi like a Glock or EBS? (Important to knoow, 'cos I hate 'em both. ) These things are $699 in the USA. No distribution here, so who knows what would be fair. Mebbe PM a ballpark? Cheers

SOLD I am selling my 210 combo. Listed on ebay @ £320 incl. delivery. Prefer to cut a deal with a fellow 'chatter.... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110404636787"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=110404636787[/url] Ampeg BA-210 200w 2x10 Bass Combo Proudly Made in the USA 2x10 combo with HF horn. Just the thing for ‘real world’ players who don’t want to lug a big rig around when mostly playing in home, studio (yes!), practice, small-to-medium gigs (DI for bigger). Inputs for active and passive electric basses. Does the deed nicely for upright and electro-acoustic, too! This combo was bought for the discount price of £569 just before Ampeg started bringing in their Chinese stock. It is in extra fine condition and is doing its Ampeg thing just swell. Shops around here price their second hand at 2/3 of new. That would be £379. I am only asking £320 INCLUDING insured overnight delivery within the ‘normal rate zones’ in the UK. Please note that this is NOT the later Chinese one with digital effects. This is a real amp, not bedroom toy. Top strap handle + sprung recessed side handles + on wheels! No mobility issues here…. Here is a link to the owner’s manual which has all the specs and features in detail: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/BA115HP_210.pdf"]http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/BA115HP_210.pdf[/url] The features list is: 1. Passive input 2. Active input 3. Gain 4. Style: This five-position midrange tone chooser 5. Low 6. Mid 7. High 8. Master Volume: Controls the amp, headphones, CD and Line Out 9. Mute: Neat. CD is still active when muted. 10. CD input 11. Tuner 12. Headphones 13. Balanced line out 16. HF level control: controls the HF Horn treble boost Can supply more info and pictures if required, but really, it looks great and works great – not much more I can say!

My two were green carpet, as is Andy67's V4. My matching 2x15 cab is green carpet, as was my 4x12. The V series stuff seems to have been built as orders came in; hence, some have the standard pre and some the compressor version (a la V8). Expect some internal quirks in all examples. Never saw a cab in the silver.... Original valve sets were Trace printed Ruby Tubes Chinese. Tonality seems pretty much valve independent.

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.

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]

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 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....
