*WITHDRAWN* 1998 Trace Elliot AH600SMX GP12 - PRICE DROP £250 £450

£250 no offers.

Only had this amp since April, used a few times at rehearsal. While it sounds amazing, it’s just a pain to lug about, has too many knobs and dials and slidey bits, and I prefer the noise I get from my little GK. 

It’s in pretty good nick. UV lamp still works and has had a good clean inside and out. It is currently with Steve Rowse at Steve’s Amps having a check over but there is nothing wrong that I could notice.

Now back from the amp tech and it sounds absolutely amazing. As I thought there was nothing much wrong with it that a good contact clean couldn’t sort out.

I played it at a big band gig last night and I was really hoping that I wouldn’t like the tone. Disappointingly, I loved the tone I got from my P bass which put me in two minds as to whether I should sell it, but the weight is just too much for me. I will be sad to see it go.

It has a brand new valve in it, an early breakup Electro Harmonix that sounds sweet (pic shows the previous Golden Lion of whatever it was. I still have it if you want it).

I really must stress that this is definitely COLLECTION ONLY I’m afraid from Yeovil in Somerset. Delivery or meet within 30 miles ish.

Many of the kindest regards.

I can almost smell the heft when I look at that!

Indeed! Far too much heft for me. And too many things to fiddle with which distracts me!

You certainly will if you lift it 😂

I've had one of these and if you see past all the knobs and slidey things they are quite easy to use, understand, and get a great sound from.

However, the weight is the problem....but as long as you've got some strong roadies!

Lift with your legs, not your back....

A great piece of bass amplification history here.

If I didn't already have the 300w version of this then I'd be very interested. The only thing I wish my amp is the UV light as they look great!

IMO these amps are much louder than their Class D equivalents if you don't mind the extra weight and size.

GLWTS.

Louder is the word. I’m only putting it through a single 12” 8ohm and the volume isn’t even on 2!
