cd_david Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Ive been in touch with Martin McAloon from Prefab Sprout who confirms this to be his old cab and recounted a very RnR story about it and himself on tour in the far east LOL, I shall say no more! Dave
steve-soar Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I absolutely worship Prefab Sprout and Martin is a massively underated bass player and what a tone, Stingray-graphite neck, done. I can't believe Paddy is going blind. "Life's, not complete, till your heart skips a beat"
MythSte Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 If i had the income i think this would compliment my V4 nicely! We shall see what i have left over when ive paid off al my debts!

Not sure I could justify a Trace Cab though
Dr.Dave Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Another Sprout fan - I could certainly justify , I just doubt I can lift it! Hope this sells soon - great cab.

Have a cheeky 18” {:brow:}bump…

escholl Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 i want this so bad, it would be perfect for me.....why do you have to be so far away

Sure I saw 'em at Leeds (...then) Polytechnic...but have no recollection of the gear used! Would have been around '88.....????[/quote]Saw them at Liverpool Uni 1985 on the "Steve McQueen" tour, I don't think he had this cab back then but his sound was incredible (I was standing right in front of him, as I do with any band I go to see, right by the bassist, did it with Motorhead on the "Iron Fist" tour, couldn't hear for three days). "Words, are just trains, for moving past what really has no name" P McAloon I love Paddy, Swoon. :wub:
steve-soar Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Come on people, the cabinet and case are easily worth the asking price, just think what replacement hi-power neos could do to this cab.
Chipps Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Didn't I recently see this on the dreaded ebay?
Prosebass Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Also being a Sprout fan I would love this but I also value my marriage so will have to pass but have a bump on me... Edited December 2, 2008 by Prosebass
stingrayfan Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Does seem crazy that no-one's biting on this. Looks like a good cab for reggae players! But I guess the market has shifted to smaller, lighter stuff, so you might need to drop the price to spark a rush!
Thornybank Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 These are almighty! Mine is kinda krusty lookin'. If it was nearer, I would have it in a microsecond and off mine for cheap. But the courier on 60k takes it over the top for me....
Matte_black Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I'd get it if it wasn't so huge. Shipping would kill me
bennifer Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Moving back up to Lincoln in the next week. Could look into shifting a few bits on ebay and using the money to grab this cab... I love my Trace 2x15 but am after a bit more high end response, and im guessing this would do nicely with a 10 and 18. Also being flightcased is a bonus as my cab's gotten a bit scraped up... Well, I won't guarantee anything, but this things been here for so long I feel like maybe its meant to be, i'll look into it!
Thornybank Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 This is THE cab for that. I like my 15+10, but the 18+10 is the v. biz when the gig justifies the hump. Luckily my 2x15 is the 4x12 size one, not the tall one....
Hoppo75 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Kev mate, When we talk about this being heavy, is it '1 man struggling' heavy, or 'must have 2 people' heavy?
Thornybank Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 It is a 1-man lift, but best as a 2-man carry due to the front-to-back dimension. The handles are placed so that it is balanced when carried if you want to have a go, but you have to bend your knees and lift with your legs. A short person won't see over it when carrying.... Shifts significant air, though - and totally worth the lift!
Thornybank Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 The numbers of times I wish mine had a case.... This is THE BIG CAB BARGAIN!!!!
Hoppo75 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I'm so, so tempted. Need to have a chat with her indoors and it'll fully depend on me getting rid of the Trusty old 715 combo. Will do some serious thinking over the next couple of days and get back asap.
