    Flipping basses on BC

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    As already suggested, the value of things change. I bought a Trace V4 combo on here for £250, sold it on for about £400 less than a year later (to an admin, no less). The same amp then went for £700 a few years ago and I'd fully expect it to be worth at least a grand now.

    No-one's profiteered there.

    Make a ban of reselling something on BC that was bought on BC in the previous year. It doesn't have to be a rigid ban, but would be easily policed by other BCers who would remember it being up for grabs previously.

    A year? That would be a good idea if you wanted to kill the BC marketplace stone dead :blink:

    The whole place is basically a giant swap-shop with small ammount of cash going each way.

    Not exactly the way Steve thought his thread was going to turn out I imagine.

    It could do with deleting tbh, it's not a good advert for Basschat, it just looks like a lot of childish bickering.

    Then allow me to get things back on track:

    Greatness.

    Beauty.

    Honesty.

    Amazement.

    This video has them all. When I watch this I cry; not out of being entertained but because of the sheer trancendental beauty of it. Like being connected to God himself.

    Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul

    As stated in my other threads, relocation to the States means I'm shifing my gear! Here is my Epiphone Zakk Wylde:






    Much better than any normal Les Paul i've played, imo ;) More grunt and the unlaquered neck makes playing nice and smooth. The only issue is that there is a hairline crack in the lacquer on the top of the body, show in the above picture. I feel that this is reflected in the price, however you are more than welcome to inspect for yourself.

    £225 and comes with gig bag. Collection from Coventry, Wirral or Stafford would be preferred but I can ship at your expense.

    Thanks

    Korg R3 Synth

    Hello all,

    Due to relocation to the States I'm shifting all my gear. Up here is my Korg R3:




    This is an absolutely brilliant little synth/vocoder combo - think of it like a more powerful MicroKorg but with full sized keys. Have had this for about 6 months, it's in more or less perfect condition and comes with the original box and microphone.

    Would like £300 for this. Am based in Coventry but can also be in the Wirral or Stafford if that would help with collection, also happy to ship.

    Thanks for looking,

    Chris

    Trace Elliot 715 Combo (New Style)

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Waldo

    Hey guys, haven't been on here for a while!

    Due to lack of time and re-location to the States I'm having to shift pretty much all of my gear. First up is my Trace 715 combo:





    Specs:

    =========

    The 715 Trace Elliot bass amp with 250W 15'' Celestion speaker, high frequency tweeter that uses a 7 band preamp and a 200w power stage bass amplifier head.

    The Trace Elliot bass amp speaker cabinet is compact and tuned to 42Hz for superb low frequency bass reproduction.

    Trace Elliott 715 bass combo features:

    additional speaker output (8 Ohms minimum load)
    Preshape circuit
    7-band classic Graphic Equalizer
    Compressor with self-adjusting program dependant Attack/Release times
    series effects loop
    Output Mute switch, active on all outputs except Tuner Out
    Electronically balanced XLR DI outputs for Pre and Post Preamp
    MOSFET technology 200 Watts output stage
    15” (382mm) special design Celestion speaker
    high frequency horn
    footswitch allowing control of Preshape, Graphic EQ, Compressor and Output Mute
    cabinet tuned, with bottom unobstructed slot, to 42Hz
    lightweight poplar plywood construction
    original classy black ‘pimple’ covered
    metal handles and protective corners
    Dimensions (HxWxD): 24.5'' (622mm) x 19.3'' (491mm) x 13.2'' (335mm)
    Weight: 64.6lbs (29.3kg)

    =====

    My favourite feature is probably the backlight!

    Have had this for about 3 years I think and was bought from another user on here who had it serviced before selling it to me. It's in excellent condition as it's only had bedroom use, comes with trace cover and footswitch (although I seem to have lost the cable for that).

    Looking for £225 for this. I'm based in Coventry and I have family on the Wirral and in Stafford if either of them are more convenient for pickup? I'll also ship it at your expense, I think I still have the original box somethere!

    Thanks for looking, send me a message if you have questions, want more pics etc.

    Chris
