That would have been my dream rig when I started playing back in the late 80's. I've never owned a Trace rig and they're giving them away now. I'd be all over it if I was in the UK.

I’m in Chester. If anyone wanted it collecting and then meet up - for a bit of diesel money - then I could help out........within reason.....

I have a van too!

My dream rig in 1980 after seeing Mark King use one (albeit 8 x 10" cab) and finally got the full rig (AH250, 2 x 4 x 10") in '84. I could just get the whole rig, plus one bass, into the back of my little Datsun Sunny estate with the back seat down. Happy days.

Do I see the old "wife forces sale" line there?

They're so cheap I'd even consider paying to have one shipped all the way over here to Bulgaria and I'd still be quids in. Sadly ( and somewhat understandably ) no one ever offers shipping due to the weight.

That must have cost an arm and a leg. I didn't realist that they went back as early as that. I started playing in 1988 and these only existed in magazines, well out of reach for a 15 year old! 

This is pretty close to me, I'd be interested to see how much it goes for.

No way could I have afforded a whole new rig. I bought the AH250 first. It was 2nd-hand, one of the wooden sleeved ones, as were the two cabs that followed a couple of months later. Eventually split the rig when I moved out of town several years later.

True. But if president is anything to go by, I've seen loads of the old Trace stuff go for peanuts. 

[ironkerton]

The Trace stuff often goes for nothing and its such a great tone. I wonder what it'll end up going for but what a classic. I used to play a big rig at our practice suite with some huge I think 8 x 10 cab sitting under it with my old band and it would knock you off your feet.
