Good old trace rig at Crack converters

[big rob]

This is not bad and i bet they would take at least £50 off if you asked them.

I was looking for something wooly for Xmas.

[/quote]well done, sir!

You would probably get even more off if you pointed out that the speakers are the wrong way round. You need the 15 on the bottom and the 10s on the top for the, err, top. Apparently.

[big rob]

Would not surprise me if it has gone, however it was still up tonight. Someone could get a hell of a rig for a reasonable price there.

That's my local store actually. I might give it a look over if still there on Sat. Wooly? My Trace combo has a great tone and crisp as a newly printed tenner. I have it sat on top of my 2x10 SWR ext cab. Makes naff all difference to the overall tone, just meansI have the knobs at a sensible height and its more stable as the SWR cab is deeper than the combo. I just don't need any more backline at the moment. If they split them up I might be interested in the 1x15 as I could then try 2 15's as an alternative to 1 x 15 + 2 x10's.

Never heard Trace referred to as 'wooly' My GP12 is glassy and clear!

He's referring to the coating on it surely....

[ambient]

Do they have a forklift truck in stock too ?

Might be useful to carry it around

[spacey]

Looks expensive to me.
Must be end of life period for such an old amp as well.
My £699 would be going on a new amp.

Ah, OK. Couldn't tell from the poor quality photos in OP, looked like black tolex type covering but could be green carpet I guess.

Nope, worst sounded rig I've ever owned, I was so excited and it sounded like poop going through a sheep.

I had the GP7 based 15" combo for years. It did start sounding a bit wooly but I opened it up and found one of the resistors had developed a dry joint. I resoldered it and it sounded brand new.

The only reason I sold it was it's weight and I needed something I could carry up and downstairs without demolishing the banisters and tearing the wallpaper.

I think it's overpriced though.

I think £300 for the amp and 15" and maybe £150 for the 2x10". Tops.

[KevB]

Agree it looked very optimistically priced. I bought my 1X15 combo and a 4x10 extension cabinet for £400 for the pair. I had to retire the 4x10 as my back was giving me some grief. It's still in my shed, if anyone wants to make me an offer and come pick it up... My combo lives in the cupvoard under the stairs between gigs so I don't have to carry it upstairs. Only done 2 gigs in last 2 years that meant carrying it up to a higher floor than I parked on, I noticed it!

Not exactly like for like, and it's not a final price, but compare with this one;

Looks like its a Mark IV...? One of the hand made jobbies.

[arthurhenry]

Does it come with a waistcoat?

[zero9]

Looks like an old AH500X head, but massively overpriced.

[Geek99]

My local store also. Looks quite good in the flesh albeit overpriced - I told them that btw

[CamdenRob]

As it's in cash converters there is a fair chance someone nicked it... which at that weight is no mean feat.

This is by far my favourite bass related image... the man is a living legend.
