FEELER - Trace Elliot 715X combo

[noisedude]

This is a reluctant feeler - A friend of mine has hit upon hard times and so a Trace Elliot 715X 1x15" 500W combo is available if anyone here wants it. It's one of the new ones and in "brilliant" condition in their words. I've played a couple of these combos at gigs and they sound immense to me and aren't exactly heavy by Trace standards, but I'm just not in a position to splash out for it, which I'm more than a bit gutted about.

Here's how it would work: The sale would go through me, COLLECTION FROM MY HOME IN LEEDS OR MEET/DELIVER WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE, because I've traded with people here before and as I have a reputation to preserve it's safer!! (i.e. I don't have to go out on a limb on their word and neither do you) If you're interested I will get proper photos but I won't bother if there's just no-one after this at the moment. THE ASKING PRICE IS [b]£450[/b] which seems like an excellent price to me for something so new and in good nick - they're £699-799 from most places like DV, Coda etc.



Here is all the blurb from Trace:

"reluctant feeler"! Ha ha!

I have one of these amps and its brilliant if you want a lively, punchy tone plus compression thrown in, all in a compact package.

Have a free bump on me!

"Reluctant feeler" ..... it's like a reformed sex pest, I guess, if you can compare that sort of thing to selling bass amps.

They are great amps but my friend, like most people at the moment it seems, is potless (as we say round here). Stoney broke, guv'nor (as they say in London, maybe).

Cheers for the bump!!
