Tait Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 my bass teacher has just bought an amp (an old trace elliot v-type) for really cheap, and wanted me to find out how much its worth for him, because he knows i go on this site and he cant find any details. Does anyone know anything about it? How much is it worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well if you go to a certain shop in london they'll have you believe its worth thousands.. lol.. Whether or not the ad is still on ebay I don't know. There were several versions of the combo. To which are you refering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't know what model it is, the info I've got is this:- Trace Elliot V Type Valve preamp 240w 4x8 inch Im not sure about 4x8 inch, I'm not sure if this means speaker size or what, its quite big so 4x8 inch seems wierd to me, but i dont know much about amps.

Wil Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 That's right. 4 8" speakers. Nice amps, I think Merton owns a 4x8 model now, not sure what he paid though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on condition anywhere between about £250-£350 is probably a fair amount. Quick edit to add: they are 280W RMS @ 4 ohms, the "BiPolar Bear" power stage. Don't let it get too hot!!
