Tech Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) i will miss this setup; very loud, very punchy, handles both the low B and the high C very well, incredibly reliable (has seen me through everything from weddings to small festivals to pubs and clubs) playing in everything from loud jazz trios, to heavy metal, to a 7-piece soul band - and I kid you not - has *never* given me any reason to doubt it. this is a 600 watt cab RMS @ 8 Ohms. speakon and jack inputs plus an attenuator for the horn. [attachment=26184:IMG_0882.JPG] oh and the jack plate on the back of the cab was mounted upside down from factory for some reason that I don't think I will ever know. EDIT: see top of page 2 for details of the peavey head! both for £210 collected from swansea. mat. Edited July 8, 2010 by Tech
Merton Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Tech, did you buy the head from Mr Pablo? If so, a few things to note, coz it was mine before that! It's a Trace AH300-12, not the SMX preamp but the slightly revised GP12X preamp. (The only differences being the slightly revised front panel including EL panel and a revised compressor circuit). I bought the amp 2nd hand from Andertons in 2000, it is a proper AH300 but the original EL panel broke and GM Audio only had panels for the combo left, so i took one of those to make it work The tube is a Sylvania which I put in there for more grit than the stock Sovtek (unless you or Rob changed it?). Cracking amp, miss it muchly, and someone will get a bargain at that price
Tech Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 the very same! thanks for the bumps! and cheers for the heads up merton
Tech Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009 my humps, my humps, my humps, come on, my humps, ah, yeah, these lovely lady BUMPs.
mr pablo Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 As stated this used to be mine after Merton, I did change the valve to an old mullard I had at the time but changed it back before I sold it have a bump on me
Kongo Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I love the "More gain" on these older heads...I mean it tells you to turn up! Then gives you the thumbs up when your there!... Might get pissed off at you at practise volume me thinks....(More gain...more gain...MORE GAIN!!!)

Tech Posted June 14, 2009 Author Posted June 14, 2009 buhmump. so much for the no big gigs , got a couple lined up for august so someone take this off me before i change my mind!!
Dubs Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Great price for a great rig. Good luck with this one – can’t really believe this has been here for 2 weeks
Tech Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 gonna bump this up again - have been keeping this at my parents house and I think it's time for it to go. I'll take the Trace head out of the description and just sell the cab. looking for £180 ONO, ideally picked up from swansea... might drive as far as cardiff for some petrol money but I'm not willing to post - I don't have the time to pack it. cheers... may also consider trades for some guitar effects pedals (&cash) - a compressor, a nice reverb, maybe a POG or HOG, a volume pedal, whatever.
sjohns Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Good luck with the sale mate, if i could get shot of my 611 i would come down get this from you

I'll price drop bump this to £170 - the RRP is around £500, Thomann selling for £415... Edited June 1, 2010 by Tech
Tech Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 £165 bump... don't wanna go lower than this, it's already a lot less than I paid for it, and loads less than its worth.
allighatt0r Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Sucks that you can't post this because i would have it if you could!
Tech Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 I do this with a heavy heart... but I have too much bass stuff for a guy that has resigned himself to wedding gigs and a small flat in london. I'll throw in a Peavey Mark III bass head (79-early 80s) if you take the both for £210, collected from Swansea. 210 watts @ 4 ohms, 300 watts @ 2 ohms. this thing is a TANK, the same amp that Steve Harris supposedly used on the first couple of Maiden albums. really nice gritty tone, and a CLASSIC bass combination. a tone so HUGE it warrants capital letters! this is a pic I ripped from the internet but mine is in identical condition. (bearing in mind it's an old machine and has worked perfectly for me over the last 4 years but it might need servicing in the future)
Tech Posted July 8, 2010 Author Posted July 8, 2010 one more bump before ebay... this is a good setup at a good price.
essexbasscat Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I'll stand up for those Peavey amps - they really do deliver the goods and have a rep for being practically bomb proof. I use one regularly and it's never failed to please. Highly recommended T
