This gear was the core of my concert rig for a couple of years but around 8 years ago now. Since then it's been in heated storage just gathering dust (which has been wiped off!) The items for sale are as follows [b]Trace Elliot[/b] amp Rackmount GP11 Preamp (2U) Rackmount RA500 Stereo (2 x 250 at 4ohms)(3U) (Bridging switch for mono operation and built in Bi amp bi-pass filters) UV lighting strip (1U) All Mounted in an SKB lightweight 6U flight case with all sockets duplicated on the rear [b]Trace Elliot [/b]Speakers Two 4x10 ported speaker cabs (200w each 8 ohms) (these are not perfectly matching as one is a couple of years older than the other.

Great computers.[/quote] I'd just bought the TC preamp and it had a connect for a monitor to help when programming it. Sadly the connector was still current in Holland (or whever TC are from), but over here I had to find a really old monitor for the job. In fact I bought two for £10 and this was the good one!!! (Still have it too cause it's really useful for setting up the graphic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmanc Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Please note that I will split this rig up any way you like (within reason), so if you're after a classic 1 x 15 and 4 x 10 set up then I'll do a deal with you for that. The Peavey Cabs are the most compact punchy ported 15 inch cabs I could find (trust me I tried them all!) and I would recommend them over the trace elliot versions that are huge, bulky and no where near as good on the ear!

Matte_black Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 What's the weight of the "head"? Is it still available? Also interested in the Peavey cabs but I fear they're too big to be shipped down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also interested in the Peavey cabs but I fear they're too big to be shipped down here [/quote] I've had a few enquiries for shipping so I will look into it, but I suspect that we'd be talking quite high costs and I haven't really thought about what I could do to package these to give any reasonable protection. Ideally they need to be crated, but that would cost about as much as the cabs, so I may have to do with some home-made cardboard packaging. I can weigh the head unit for you tonight, but I would suspect its around 25+ Kg. It's a relatively easy single person lift as there are good handles on each side.

On the MK4 there is a just a switch for eq in or out). It also mentions the RA 500 and some tips on connecting the two (which is all there ever was in the RA 500 manual anyway. Both are really user friendly in any case.

Matte_black Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Are you selling all this stuff for £650?! It's such a shame I can't come in person or I'd be carrying this stuff on my shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The first shots show 2 broken sliders on the preamp. The new shots show all 11 in place. Did something nice happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 He owns two preamps (same model), one has the sliders broken but he has the spare parts available - so no worries (I know these things 'cause the seller told me about them).

[/quote] Correct, I actually swapped the good preamp in the other rack for the one with the four damaged sliders, so this is a pristine example of this classic preamp (the one that made Mark King famous!!!) So you're right Matt, it's a total steal for £650, almost worth a weekend off travelling to the uk in a small hire van!!!

Bassmanc Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 OK, I have a very serious buyer for the amp part of the rig (Thanks for the PMs), so unless I get some proper interest for the whole system or the speakers in the next few days I'm going to let the amp go. C'mon, you know this is a serious bargain - priced at a sensible level for the credit crunch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
