I've got a 15" combo? It's the first amp I ever bought so it's had plenty of use! The wheels are a bit worn and there are a couple of little scuffs, but overall it works fine and does the job! It's got an in-built tuner, a distortion/clean channel, octave effect, footswitch etc. Pretty handy to have around the house but I don't really gig since I've upgraded since. Crate BT220 + cash your way? I can send more specs/pics It'd be nice to visit Carlisle again

Played through this the other day - great little amp this! Does the job nicely

[color=#0000FF][b][size=5]The input's just started to play up, which is the first problem I've had with this amp (perfect timing!), so I've withdrawn it. [/size][/b][/color] (and removed pictures etc) My first ever bass amp! Loads of sentimental value - but trying not to amass too much unused gear/raising money for a new amp etc. It's a Crate BT220 in good condition - a few tiny marks here and there (the biggest of which I've tried to photograph). Not many people will have heard of it I guess, and the reviews that are out there a pretty mixed. Some people hail it as a fantastic amp for the money and some report some quality issues - but for what it's worth I've had this amp for a few years and it's worked fine from day one. I've found it really handy for smaller gigs in pubs/cafes etc. It's relatively small, the wheels and handles are solid and the in-built tuner is pretty good. Anyway, I've been saving up like mad for my birthday this November, which hopefully should be enough to order a custom head/cab from Matamp So I'm in no rush to sell, as it's still my only amp at the moment (although it never gets any use outside the bedroom as I normally DI with a pre-amp or borrow a head for the gigs I do), but I'm looking for around £125 for it? Or a trade/part exchange for a small cheapish head, a good-quality gigbag/hardcase and/or DI pre-amp (money adjusted either way - I can throw some cash in for a good trade). I believe they sold for £400/450 whilst they were being made, then down to £200ish for clearance when they were discontinued. All offers entertained either way! [b]I've got access to a studio so I can get some sound samples if anyone's interested?[/b] So here it is: From left to right: -15db pad on/off Mute switch Channel 1 (clean): level (blend with channel 2), low, low mid, hi mid, high Channel 2 (dirty - footswitchable): gain, shape (tone), level (blend with channel 1) Switch to override channel 1/2 blend so that when footswitched only channels 1 or 2 are selected accordingly, not blended together. Channel 3 (octave - footswitchable): one knob - less or more octave Master CD input Headphone out On the back: External speaker out (speaker cable) DI out with ground lift, pre/post EQ and volume Effects loop send and return On the top: Built in chromatic tuner! Inside: 15" speaker 220 watts Extra features! Built in a similar fashion to a tank Heavy-duty side handles Wheels! Here are some pixels:

Definite I might have to drop you a PM! Either way, would there be any interest in a German Warwick $$ Corvette 5-string? Similar controls, except you can coil split both humbuckers individually into parallel, series and single-coil and it's got a passive mode/pre-amp bypass. Cheers! Ben

Darn it I'd been GAS-free for weeks!
