    Good catch!

    Just wow!

    I'm never going to get round to do anything with this so I might as well move it on. I bought this bass some time ago without knowing that the original preamp had been replaced with a cheap one. The (unknown) preamp works fine as do the original Yamaha pickups but the input socket now needs replacing as well. It was my intention to fit a Bartolini preamp but as mentioned I never got around to doing this and every time I had the funds to do this, I bought something else. So anybody with a bit of knowhow, a soldering iron and the funds to install a quality preamp is going to have a cracking bass at the end of the day. Anyhow its a Japanese TRB in great condition and light weight too. I know absolutely nothing about these basses and no idea how old it is. The bass can be tried out/collected here in lovely St Helens or delivered (UK only).

    I had this amp when I was about 18 😪 I could only dream of owning a Trace Elliot

    USA 60th Anniversary limited Edition Precision and my 1977.

    The transparent white one ticks all my bass boxes. That is truly lovely, somebody will be very happy.

    I would sincerely love to hear this rig in action. I've owned a couple of small PJB combos and they sounded incredible.

    Thats a lot of amp for not a lot of cash! Bargain.

    My iMac is a mid 2010 and running fine. I've owned it for around 4 years now. Its start up is slower however so I will take a look at CleanMyMac.

    0. Exactly the same for the last 7 years. 😔 The good 'ol days was almost 100. How times have changed.

    I have sold far too many basses I've loved because something else tickled my fancy. I fear you will regret selling that lovely Shuker one day. I've learned some pretty painful lessons over the years selling basses that deep down I knew I shouldn't have.

    Once upon a time they did.... Short train journey from here, very tempted.

    New year, new rig 😎 I have been looking at getting an old Trace head for a while and this beauty came up for sale here along with the EBS cab. Huge sound and huge smiles all round, though probably not from the neighbours. It sounds epic using a Precision with flats, just so much punch! Love it.

    No, not great photos at all Karl, but still worth keeping an eye on. I've only seen a few of the blonde versions like the one I own so I guessed that this is pretty rare. I had a quick dig on the web but I can't find too much info about it let alone how many were made.

    Not mine (I have the blonde version however) but if it was I wouldn't be selling it!! Not seen a sunburst one before so I'm guessing that they're pretty rare? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-precision-bass-60th-anniversary/164007578377?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D74ec089c714344769c40c92991d1c50c%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D293384198630%26itm%3D164007578377%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A875d4a1f-28de-11ea-9b4a-74dbd180d657|parentrq%3A48d1675316f0ad3ddf6234f4ff9bebfc|iid%3A1 I'd be all over this like a rash if funds permitted, not the best time of year to be selling a bass so maybe a bit of a bargain for some lucky sod!

    Now there's great Christmas prezzy, what a bargain!

    Hi. Is this amp still available? Is shipping an option?
  21. bigthumb
    Well I would. I can certainly understand not wanting to ship this what with finding a suitable box and packaging etc, and of course the weight. But if you can find suitable packaging and you are happy to do so then I'll take it. Interparcel.com will give you some shipping options and prices.

    There never seems to be much good Trace gear located up north. I've been scanning ebay for months now. Anyhow if the seller can post I'll have it.

    Is postage an option? London's a bit far for us northerners!
  24. bigthumb
    That's a fine looking fish!

    All the very best Dave and again, thanks for the great cables. Enjoy your well deserved retirement sir.
