Wharfedale WHB200C 2 x 10 200 Watt Combo

[tazza1]

Hi,

*** Price dropped to £160!! ****

After years of carrying heavy cabs around my back has finally cried enough so I need a smallish lightweight 300 to 500 watt speaker cab to pair with my Ampeg PF-500 (preferably 8ohm).
Money is tight at present & the only thing I have with any value is my Wharfedale Combo so I thought I'd offer it up for trade first.

I've included a link to the Wharfedale site so you can see what it's like but if there is any interest I'll happily take some pics when I next go to the rehearsal room.
Basically it is rated at 200 watts with 2 x 12AX7/ECC83 valves in the pre-amp stage & so many sound shaping options that you could probably spend a week trying different sounds out! It's fairly loud for 200 watts & I'm sure would quite easily hold it's own for small to medium sized gigs. It is built entirely in house by Wharfedale including the 2 x 10" speakers & horn.

Brief specs are below but I would download the manual for a look because there's more detail there:

200 watt hybrid amplifier 2x10" + horn Bass combo - special angled cabinet for session and club use where good directional sound is required.

Mixed technology 200 watt Bass Combo
2 x 10" Wharfedale Bass Technology speakers + Titanium Angled Compression driven Horn
Angled cabinet design for close sound projection
All tube preamp section for signal processing and Treble, Bass and preset EQ functions
High Voltage solid state Middle circuit
High Definition 200 watt/8ohm Solid state power amplifier
Thermostatically Fan Cooled with oversize heatsink for continuous heavy duty use
Input section - Jack input, -10dB pad switch, Gain Boost switch, Tuner Mute switch, Rotary Gain control
EQ section - Low Cut, Low Boost, High Boost, Mid Depth pushswitches, Bass control with 3 position Range switch, Mid control with 3 position Range switch, Treble control with 3 position Range switch
Master Output Level control
Power ON/OFF and Standby switches
Series FX loop with Bypass and Level switches
DI output with Ground Lift switch

It also has a 300hz crossover in built with a jack socket so that you can add an 8ohm cab as a passive sub woofer - I've tried this & it sounds awesome!

I bought this to use at rehearsals & smaller gigs but my main gigging rig is becoming too heavy for me to move around so unfortunately I need to sacrifice this.

It's in great condition because it's hardly ever been used, they are extremely well built & retail at £469 at Electromusic. However I have spotted that PMT have recently listed them at £249 which is less than I paid for this last year. I think one sold on here a few weeks ago for £200 & I'd value mine at that also.

Let me know what you have for trade (I may consider trading for an Epiphone EB3).

Cheers!

Now for sale also - looking for £180. This is a great combo with virtually no use & a fantastic array of sounds available.

This will need to be collection only though (although I would consider delivery or meet up within Northamptonshire).

As I think I'm now sorted for a speaker cab I'll also consider trades for basses.

Last try before this goes to eBay.

I've now reduced the price to £160 (I can't go any lower!!) collected from the Kettering area.

I would consider a trade for a 4 or 8 ohm lightweight 15" bass driver (upwards of 300 watt)
