Higgie Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well, here we have a real old vintage Trace combo. I don't know much about it, as I got it from my uncle, but it's a 2x10 with a Valve preamp, 12 band graphic EQ, FX loop, mid preshape switch, noise reduction switch etc. The sound is absolutely unreal! Trace Elliot sound at its best. When I originally got it about 6 years ago, the tweeters in it were farting, so I removed them. Currently it just has the original 2x10s in it. The thing is pretty heavy so couldn't post it, it would have to be picked up, but believe me the weight is worth it for the sound. I believe it to be 200 watts - But sounds MUCH louder than that! Now I've never even really seen another for sale so I'm not sure how much it's worth, but its vintage TE gear (a little battered) that works and sounds awesome, even without the tweeters, so I'll put a price of £300 on it. Please PM me if this is over/under priced, or if your interested. I'm open to a bit of haggling, and part ex's, but outright cash wins every time. Will get some pics up shortly.

Higgie Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'll get proper pics up soon, but here is a picture taken about 5 years ago (it's been sitting in my room like this ever since, so is in exactly the same condition!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I had one of these when they came out early 90s. They are the biz with a lovely fat tone. I'm actually half tempted to get this and stick a Trace 1x15 under it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah the tone these put out really IS beautiful! What do you think price-wise? Should I be charging more for this beast of an amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really am tempted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
