  1. A thing of beauty. ❤️ I remember seeing a picture of a similar one on here a couple of years ago that was (I think) just nearing completion. Absolutely stunning finish. GLWTS
  2. I personally prefer basses that have a bit of weight to them purely for how they feel on the strap. However as far as tone/sounds go, my 8.5lb Stingray Special sounds just as immense as my 12lb Aria SB-R150. Not sure I'd fancy 16lbs much though. 😮
  3. Wow that’s a real blast from past. I haven’t listened to that for 20 years or so but I agree, a great version.
  4. Just to add to that if the amp was minimum 8 ohm, to my knowledge it would be the only solid state bass amp that Trace ever made that wasn’t 4 ohm minimum.
  5. Just to further shed light/confuse things, one of my old TE catalogues shows the same generation BLX model as @BassManGraham along with the 130 and states that both models have 4ohm output impedance. However, another catalogue showing the earlier Series 6 version that @Thunderpaws has incoming states 8ohm. I strongly suspect that the amps themselves are both 4 ohm min.
  6. As above, I’ve bought and sold guitars, basses and amps in Germany and the Netherlands this year along with wiring looms and pickups from Finland without issue. I also purchased an amp from Poland. The key thing is establishing who pays if there are any additional fees required due to exchange rate conversions beforehand. I fell foul of this with the Poland transaction.
  7. You want to be looking for a rack case, but they come in various guises and prices. A good place to start looking would be Gator type moulded plastic cases. The 2U/3U etc refers to the height required. The other consideration is the depth (front to back). EDIT - Doh! not quick enough. What @Mudpup said 😁
  8. I’ve got a black Sharpie you can borrow to sort that out. 🖊 😁
  9. Just sold a cab to Simon. Super fast payment and great communication throughout. Trade with absolute confidence. 👍 Many thanks again.
  10. Black everytime for me. Unless it's a blue sparkle P, then it's chrome 😎
  11. I’d either be very conservative and go for Olympic White (just because it always looks great with a rosewood board), or go all out for a shouty loud sparkle finish. Either way, superb work so far. 👍
  12. I once asked about retro fitting a cloth grill to a Super 12 and I’m pretty sure that couldn’t be done, but not sure about the other way around. Re shipping, it’s not a definite no. Just that it may take a couple of days to get some materials together.
  13. I bought this off the forum towards the end of last year and still haven’t had chance to use it in anger. It’s the second Super Twin I’ve had (after a couple of Super 12s) and to me they still represent the best one-cab package available for volume and portability. Alas when I do start out again I’ll be looking for a more vintage tone so this has got to go. It’s in the same superb condition as it was when I bought it. The only faults I can see are some very slight indentations to the metal covers on the top handle which you can just about see in the pics. It really is pretty much as new and has been kept in a smoke and pet free environment. Dimensions – 480 wide x 340mm deep x 740mm high Weight – 17kg Speakers - 2 x 12" 12XN550 drivers Nominal Impedance – 4 ohms Power Handling – 1200 watts 2 no. speak-on ¼” combo sockets Top and side handles Built-in rear wheels for easy tilt wheeling Barefaced padded cover Here’s a link to all the important stuff from Barefaced: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Twin.htm I would much prefer collection or a meet up on this as I don’t currently have sufficient materials for what I would deem to be secure packaging. Of course this may change and if so shipping would then be at the buyers expense. Trade wise I may be interested in a silver cloth BF Four10 (or possibly 2 no. Two10s plus cash your way) but they would have to be either very new i.e. post tolex issues or be custom orders with a painted finish. A long shot I know but that’s pretty much all I’d be wanting in trade.
  14. Usually the best way to check the year is to look inside the amp as there should be a QA label with a date on it affixed to the board. Although if you've already been inside I'm suspecting yours doesn't.
  15. I think the only other hybrid was the VA400 shown at the bottom of this catalogue page, although I think there may have been a 300 or 350 version too:
  16. The pairing of an 1153 (1x15) and a 2103H (2x10) always sounded superb to me with whichever Trace head I used (SM, SMX, MkIV). Best sound I ever had actually, to my ears at least.
  17. Terribly disappointed that this thread isn't about Blondie ☹️

    Hello!

    Welcome Corto. I too should have only one bass and focus my attention on studying. Alas the aforementioned GAS took hold a while ago and refuses to let go.
  19. Hope you manage to get it sorted as there does appear to be a nice bass hiding in there somewhere. I do love to see battered and bruised basses being brought back from the brink. Although "whoever owned it was a bit rough" has quite probably already won you the 2019 BassChat Understatement of the Year Award. Best of luck with it, looking forward to seeing the finished article. 👍
  20. Anyhoo, if anyone does know of another for sale please let me know. I'm loving mine and fancy making a pair.
