Any takers for this before it goes in the shop on consignment?

Incoming Orange Terror Bass and 2 TC Electronics cabs are paid for so I'm on me uppers until this gets sold.

The positives. It's got that trademark Trace sound. If you like a great clean sound with lots of glassy top and chunky bottom you'll be happy. Unfortunately I've realised I really do like a dirty old school overdriven tone so that's not the sound for me.
My PA man tells me we are a loud band but I've never had this past 3.5 out of 10 at a gig. The compressor is brilliant on it and the green glow looks great on gig shots. It's in very good nick. Comes with cover, footswitch, manual and over 4 years warranty left.

On the negative side. It had a couple of issues. The pcb had a dry joint that was reflowed and serviced under warranty and what I thought was a horrible vibration noise recently on the amp when the octave F sharp was played at volume turned out to be a loose chassis on the aircon unit resonating on the note in the rehearsal room! If you don't rehearse where I do you'll be fine. No getting away from the fact that this is not a compact and bijou amp either.

I paid £650 for it last June. I'm after £400 to make a dent in the £1150 of the banks money I've just spent.

I won't post/courier this.

The amp is residing at LEB Towers in Brentford, West London.

It's all Happy Jack's fault. If he hadn't let me use his Terror at a gig. :)

Do the Bump

OK £350 now or I send it to the consignment pit of despair.

This is bargain money for a proper brick outhouse full of low down goodness.

It's got a dimmer switch on the back for the green glow and everything. What more could you want.

Come on people it's got to go.

Mrs LEB is staring at it in a menacing way :)

Forgot to say it plays like margarine. It's the best amp I've ever heard and if it had an extra string I'd keep it. Edited by Low End Bee

It glows green you know. Come and get it before Mrs LEB does something horrendous to my personage.

I will deliver meet up at reasonable distances from West London.
