Oooh nice! I love this amp, so much so I’ve owned one three times (don’t ask….) I just can’t justify it for what I do. May it bring you many years of happiness

You all know what these are, and if you don’t, buy this one to find out 😀 Selling because I have 2x Two10S cabs and frankly they’re not big enough to warrant a “small” cab for a few gigs and rehearsals. I think this has a 2018 date-of-birth and as such it has a bit of tolex peel appearing on the back. Supplied with official Barefaced cover and price includes UK mainland delivery.

Didn’t think I’d move this on to be honest, I’ve had it a year and it’s easily one of the best bass amps I’ve ever owned - impeccable build quality, well thought out preamp, oodles of power, quiet as a mouse when it comes to the fan… but… there’s always a but… Before buying this last year I’d had my heart set on the new Trace Elliot TE-1200 and thanks to @Russ I now have one. To be honest I find myself preferring the core tone of the Trace - this week I’ve done loud A/Bing with my rock band and it got a lot of attention at the recent SE Bass Bash. The Glock is absolutely superb, don’t get me wrong; the preamp is clean, crisp and hifi and the drive function is superb (so much so I preferred it over using the Ashdown OriginAL preamp), I just think I prefer the Trace. This is the Rolls Royce of bass amps and deserves to be played, not kept in its gigbag and used because I feel guilty occasionally. It comes with its carry bag, mains lead and manual. And a Glockenklang sticker, very important that. 1000W at 4 ohms/500W at 8 Or, with the flick of two tiny dip switches on the underside, 900W at 2.67ohms. Whilst this is class D and SMPS it really is one of the most full fat head you could imagine, all those “class D is weedy” threads are nonsense when you hear this. Powerful, clean, crisp, highly dynamic. Marvellous. Price is for collection from Surrey, UK mainland shipping is £20. Thanks to Brexxxxit I can’t ship further afield.

Cracking day - thank you @Hamster and @ceteraand all others involved in making it happen. @Kingbassist’s talk was superb. A lovely guy, fantastic player and some really useful tips and interesting stories. Looking forward to his bass course as it sounds like a really interesting approach which I think will work really well for me. My friend’s son absolutely loved it, though I think I’ve now caused an issue with his desire for expensive toys 😂 Here are some pics, apologies I’m not tagging everyone as I’ve already forgotten everyone’s names 🤦🏼♂️

Their specs have had some dubious numbers over the years! Will be interesting to hear it, @eude had its successor for a while and that was pretty good indeed.

Status do stainless half rounds, I really like them. Despite their custom bass shop being closed I believe the strings are still available.

Great post @Phil Starr - clear and succinct 👍🏻

I did an A/B with my Glockenklang Blue Rock at last night’s band practice. They’re obviously amps with different design goals but they have very similar formats and power outputs so I thought it would be fun. The Glock is clearly much more transparent and “flat” with everything at noon, the Trace has a baked in EQ curve which is very musical and pleasing to my ears. Once I’d tweaked EQs (mainly on the Glock) there wasn’t a huge amount of difference at all. The Glock had a crisper top end but that was about it. In a rock band setting I think the Trace wins out. It was a fun experiment
