lozbass Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I'm moving my TE GP12 SMX amp head - I bought this here on BC last year for £280 (so the current asking price is firm - indeed, it's a bit of a bargain). The amp is in exemplary condition - the previous owner advertised it as such and I wasn't disappointed when it arrived. I think the head is around 16 or 17 years old and is British built. It's in the TE amp sleeve (green rat fur in excellent shape) with a heavy duty, sprung. TE branded flight case handle. The only sign of age on the unit is a little tarnishing on the fan grille at the back (this is extremely minor!) Tone is pure and classic Trace - the amp is super-powerful and loud. I'd hang on to it but I simply have far too much gear and need to rationalise. Price is £245 to include post (to UK) and packing. Alternatively, the amp can be collected in central Manchester (£230 cash on collection). Edited August 26, 2010 by lozbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the same one and it's got more than enough headroom for anything I do. Great range of sounds too with the 12 band EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Thanks Purpolaris - these do indeed have an massive amount of headroom (and the classic TE tone and cut-through)...Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Culture Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Any idea how much this weighs? I had the 300w version and the only reason I moved it on and replaced it with my RH450 was because of the weight, but I think I can remember reading somewhere that there was a pretty significant weight difference between the different power versions. I seem to recal that the '300w' version was also labelled up as 280w on the rear, come to think of it... Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a lightweight but it's not ridiculous. It's actually pretty easy to handle - the sleeve has a very strong sprung (steel) flightcase handle on one end in order that the amp can be carried like a slim briefcase. It has heavy rubber feet on the bottom and smaller rubber feet on the end/side opposite the handle. It can stored easily either flat or upright.

Bass Culture Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm so tempted to buy this as a back up for my RH450 now I've started gigging a bit more often. Holiday in two weeks time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
