I was just kidding Im a sarcastic bast***d sometimes... [/quote] I was gonna lose sleep

Haha, cheers Matt! Cheque's in the post The 4x8 was more expensive coz it was newer, better condition and I'd sunk over £100 into it with service and new speakers etc The 4x8 sounds a bit smoother than this too, which is why I always preferred this one coz I like the grit (which, funnily enough, the Hartke doesn't have but that may change with a valve change...) EDIT; I'm keeping the Brits in there - looking at an Ashdown Mini 15 cab to tide me over til I build my 1x15 cabs, and in the future I think there will be some Bareface[b]dB[/b]ass cabs too

I'm gonna bump this as well, just coz I feel bad since I've decided to sell my little brother to this and don't want to take the limelight. If you want the Trace valve experience, go for Stephen's one first

Yup. Never thought I'd do this As you may know, I now have a Hartke LH500 and it's basically going to make the combo redundant as it does everything the combo does but louder and more flexibly being a head. So, the V-Type is for sale. Specs: 1x15 combo (Eminence Beta 15 fitted) Valve preamp, based on the classis Fender tonestack 250W (at 4 ohm) MOSFET power amp (8 ohms internal speaker) Inputs for active and passive basses Bass, Mid and Treble (passive) controls, plus Deep and Bright switches and a mid shift FX loop This thing sounds gorgeous. It's been "my sound" ever since I bought it from Nash back in the BW days and it is with a heavy heart that I come to sell. You can overdrive the preamp and get a great dirty tone, or back off a bit and have a wonderful, full fat creamy tone but always with enough bite to cut through any stage mix without pushing the amp too hard - it's very rarely been above 2 on the volume. I think this is partly down the speaker in the box - it's got a big peak at about 100Hz which really helps deliver a solid "nearly" bottom end which reinforces the gut-busting tone of the preamp. Lush! It has two slight issues which are all cosmetic: 1. The combo is fairly well used and looks a bit tatty on the outside, but it does have a cover which my sister made, in order to keep any more marks appearing. 2. The volume control, for some reason, starts at 1.5 on the "scale" and goes all the way to 11.5 (if it was there). Doesn't affect it's functionality, just means you have to subract 1.5 from where it's pointing to know where you're actually at!! So, there we have it. Pictures tonight, but it can be seen lurking behind me here: Yes, it happily keeps up with two Marshall 4x12s on its own. It's heavy (29kg including castors I reckon) but nowhere near as heavy as the 4x8 I used to have as well!! Therefore pickup only, or we can arrange somewhere convenient not too far from me. [b]IT'S GONE, CHEERS GUYS [/b]

Hi Arthur, The Mini 15 cab interests me muchly No worries if not! Mert (PS sorry for the PM, sent it as you were replying!!)
