Hello. I've not used one of these so a simple question; suppose you fit a new battery and switch the effect on for just a few songs each practice/gig (yes i know just plugging it in switches it on) - how long would you expect the battery to last? I have a good 9V supply but would like to avoid wires if the battery life is reasonable. Thanks.

I bought Geoff's Peavey Foundation - glossy black and a maple neck mmmmmm.... Prompt delivery and the bass was exactly as described if not better. All round top bloke.

PM'd.

I would have this off you but i'm not likely to be up your way anytime soon. not planning a trip south Wales way are you?

I too had one of these in the 70's when they were unfashionable and foolishly added a bridge pickup thereby reducing the value by half when I sold it around ten years ago. Mine didn't have that access panel on the rear though - is that an after-market mod?

Hi, beautiful bass, I was wondering if you would be interested in a partial trade - a 1964 Gibson EB2 ? Heres a pic......

Thanks.

Want, want want. Used to have a'64 (I think) Epiphone Rivoli that I sold in a moment of stupidity years ago and have regretted ever since.

Teensy weensy little bumpette!

Classic amp. Trace when they made the best amps in the world. Good luck with the sale.
[/quote] Great amps for sure but just not fashionable these days, I fear. My previous band had a dedicated practice room where we could just leave everything set up but the current band hires the village hall and it's not an easy load in/out so it was either a lightweight rig or a slipped disc!

Thanks Pembo - a pleasure to meet you too. Will edit the main post now.

Now with pictures of the head added. Will upload pictures of the cabs soon.

Hopeful bump.

Like..!

(Have a bump for free...)
[/quote]Oooh ta pal - there's lots of electronics besides them bloody 'puter thingies you know! Actually it's an email problem at home - every time I try to send some pictures it throws a right hissy fit. No problem from my works PC though so will be dong that Wednesday for anyone interested.

I've compressed the pictures but they still won't upload type bump. I can email them though. Make me an offer someone - I now have two rigs in a small house and Mrs. Plank is giving me that look some of you may already be familiar with.

Will try some later today. Thanks.

I have finally treated myself to some lightweight gear so my faithful old rig has to go. £250 altogether or will separate for prices seen below.
Head; Proper old school British-built Trace Elliot AH350X, early 90’s (I think) tolex covered. This is the bi-amp model with a full range 250W B channel (4 ohms minimum) and a completely separate 150W high pass A channel (8 ohms minimum) so 400 very loud Trace watts if you have enough cabs to use them. I believe it is actually the AH250 and AH150 output stages driven by the GP11 preamp. I don’t use the A channel - not my sound, but it works fine. Cosmetic condition good for age, all knobs and sliders present, no rips in tolex and everything works exactly as it should including the blacklight and two-speed fan. I never liked the xlr speaker out on the main channel so I replaced it with a Speakon. I am an industrial electronics service engineer by trade so it has been done properly. There is a slight background hiss so you wouldn’t want to use it for quiet studio work but it is of course completely un-noticeable at even the quietest band practice levels. The only other problem and the reason I’m selling is the weight; 46lbs on my bathroom scales - not a problem for most but getting to be too much for an old codger like me! Was asking £220 if sold separately but now on offer for a measly £200.
Cab 1; Now keeping - no longer available.
Cab 2; Now sold.
This has been a completely reliable and well looked after head and only £200. Pickup from NP23 (Ebbw Vale, south Wales) preferred but I think shipping would be about £20. Any trial welcome - I have a passive four-string here but feel free to bring your own if you like. Trades - looking for a decent combo but has to be lightweight - see below.

Hi. Is this the true bypass version?
Thanks.

I would certainly have this off you if things weren't so iffy at the dayjob. GLWTS.

With 2,270 views I can't be the only one teetering dangerously on this little beauty!

I had exactly the same setup for five or six years - it's good, reliable UK-built gear. I think you have to put a price on it though - not just invite offers. GLWTS

Whereabouts are you - in case anyone is thinking about popping in for a try-out?

You have a PM.

PM'd you.

Please check your PM's.

Could you say a little more about the condition - neck, frets, wiring etc. Like many other people I had one of these years ago but the nut was missing from the truss rod end! I don't really care about dings just want to know about playability. Thanks.

Hi. Can I ask what procedure you followed for breaking the drivers in? The Acme website is interesting and one of the few manufacturers to discuss this matter. Thanks and have a free bump!
