  1. Just received a Trace SMX300 head from Dave. Excellent comms. Sent next day delivery Great packaging...as good as mine and I’m very thorough 😉 All working great. Buy from Dave with confidence Thanks Dave
  2. There seems to be a lot of Fender basses going. There still must be 50% of bassists that don’t know if the JV range and how good they are.
  3. Sunburst, all original. Small dink in the neck, bit rough around the side-bottom, slight scuffs obviously on the back, generally very nice. Truss rod fine but the new owner may want a pro set up. Reverse tuners. The last from my collection. Welcome to try here in WV149PU West Midlands before to buy. Geoff
  4. This is the case that is with the bass but it needs a new latch (on the left). I ordered one weeks ago but is still to arrive.
  5. This is a superb amplifier with no fault issues in excellent condition. The Eden WT550 is certainly an antidote to any of the 'weedy sounding' D Class heads that get discussed on BC. Ok, not all D Class heads, but this amplifier does certainly deliver note girth, 300W @ 8ohm, 550W into 4ohm and can happily power cabinets down to 2 Ohms with an RMS output of 750W. I have two of these amps and I’m hanging on to one at the moment. I’ve taken both on a gig with one as backup but I’m confident that the amp that I keep, wont give me any trouble (famous last words) The one for sale will come with the custom flight case. However, I find that the combined weight of the amp and flightcase is fairly heavy and at one point I used my daughter’s luggage trolley (carrying it of course)- just the job. The trolley is not for sale. You’re welcome to test here in Coseley West Midlands. I use a Berg HT112ER on top of a TE compact 15. Can post the amp if necessary. Geoff
  6. All original with the rare ‘noir’ hardware, headstock and neck. Model PJ 555 http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/fenderjapan/boxer/jp_03.html. Made at the Fujigen factory Japan at a time when craftsmen produced the E series guitars at a quality level that blew away a lot of USA stuff. Few dinks as in pictures. Frets and board barely touched and the finish has ambered nicely overall. All original apart from the switch which has been replaced like for like (original included) also the bridge pickup has been replaced with a Seymour hotstack - as Duff McKagan (original included which works fine) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b7ygDslvxhs Includes original case with replacement handle. Welcome to trial here in WV149PU West Midlands.
  7. Hi, On the Salter bathroom scales no matter how I try, 3.9kg. They’re normally 4kg but lets say it’s 4kg for good measure. Cheers Geoff
  8. Brilliant you lot, thanks Gary. Best wishes for Christmas, Geoff
  9. Blxxxx Hxxx. Thanks for that. Yes, I suppose I should lay off the site when I’ve been to Wetherspoons. would be nice if the powers could move it. I may do that in the new year. Merry Christmas Geoff
  10. All original, pickup, colour, plate, pots etc. Frets fine. I live in Bilston, West Midlands. Welcome to try out here, can ship.
  11. £275 includes shipping to mainland UK
  12. Coseley, West Midlands UK. WV149PU Cheers Geoff
  13. “Smooth sounding, never boxy, full and articulate with plenty of deep low end, ideal for when the high end of a tweeter is not required.” Spec •1 x 12" cast frame woofer w/ 80oz. magnet, vented pole piece •power handling - 350 watts rms •sensitivity: 98.5db • anechoic: 2.83v/1m •frequency response: 40hz - 4khz •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 8 ohms •dimensions: 15 3/4"H x 18-1/2"W x 15"D •40cm x 47cm x 38cm Weight : 36lbs/16.3kgs Nice condition. Slight wear on handle rubber, scuff or two on corner protectors otherwise very tidy. Excellent bass sound. Includes a Berg thick protective cover. You will note that for some reason, the back plate is stamped EX112S and not EX112ER. This is obviously a cosmetic slip up at the factory because the suffix S’ means short depth. This cab is the 15 deep and not the ‘ S’ 13” deep. Also with the S model, the speaker is rated at 300W. I have priced for a collected pickup. Welcome to test/trial here for your own satisfaction. The shallower ‘S’ cab spec:Power handling - 300 watts rmsSensitivity: 97dbAnechoic: 2.83v/1mImpedance: 8 ohmsDimensions: H: 15" x W: 17-1/2" D: x 13"
  14. Amp is in excellent condition and first class working and is very loud. Very well cared for. IMO there’s always been a tossup between the AH250 MKV and the SMX250/300. This model wins as it has the valve blend and is lighter. Head Specs:280w RMS/580w peak fan cooled head with active passive input selector, tube/solid state blending, pre-shape and 2 shaping options, 12 band graphic EQ with controlable level, independent Low and high compressesors, Effects level and send level with full range and high pass options, DI out built in, can power two 8 ohm cabs. Made in England around 1998 - the Trace golden era. Welcome to trial/test here in Coseley West Mids - you won’t be disappointed.
  15. Nice if you can get it! Gigabite'
  16. Brand new, few weeks old. Haven’t even got round to working it out. Includes correct transformer. Together cost £225 so there’s £50 off if anyone’s looking for one and knows what they’re doing.
  17. I’ve tried the Ashdown ABM 300/500 heads and combos which break your back. To me lacking ‘spaciousness’ in sound compared to Trace heads of the time. However at one point I owned an ABM500 chrome face and it seemed to be slightly better than the normal face, but it still went.
  18. In simple terms Ashdown ABM sounds better than the Mag, that’s why they cost more. It seems that Ashdown suits the uncoloured Barefaced cabs. Try an Ashdown ABM with the old 2x10 and 15 Celestions and it sounds constipated. Put a Trace Elliot SMX on the Celestion cabs and they become alive. I tried Vander 2 x1x12’s and a single V15 with the Trace and neither worked out. I think they need a lot of modern power. However as they are neo’s the ABM500 might work.
  19. Go for it lads but don’t forget to include carpets and curtains in the formulae
  20. Kev, The way I see it, keep your cabs. You liked the old Trace stuff, spacious, organic and tonefull. If you go the digital route eg TH500 etc I think you’ll be going round in circles trying the GB, MB etc etc trying to get the sound you have in your head. Your cabs are easy to drive and Im surprised you haven’t gone for the SMX300. IMO for a bit more umph go for an Eden WT550 which is very close to the Trace - you should ‘feel’ content. These Eden amps have the traditional transformer and circuitry you can see, easy to repair - although shouldn’t need to, whereas the class d stuff has a chance of being binned if went faulty.
  21. Immediate payment to me. No issues whatsoever. Met Dave personally on New St Station Brum as he was ‘passing through’. Nice guy, bought me a cuppa. Recommended Basschatter. Thanks Dave.
