Hey So... a 500w 8ohm 2x15 might be OK? I have a Trace one and TGEvans has a Marshall/Sidewinder one (luv thoz!). A soundfile might be useful - except that the Zoom will be sucking all the tone. Is it all brittle and transaprent and hifi like a Glock or EBS? (Important to knoow, 'cos I hate 'em both. ) These things are $699 in the USA. No distribution here, so who knows what would be fair. Mebbe PM a ballpark? Cheers

Looks like a good value-for-money piece. But putting out 700w into 8ohms. Jeepers. I have loadsa cabs, but all old school = 200-300-400w. Pity, as it would take up the space left by the Mesa BB750. What were you driving it into?

Come back if you ever set a price.... ...and I'll see what I can do!

SOLD I am selling my 210 combo. Listed on ebay @ £320 incl. delivery. Prefer to cut a deal with a fellow 'chatter.... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110404636787"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=110404636787[/url] Ampeg BA-210 200w 2x10 Bass Combo Proudly Made in the USA 2x10 combo with HF horn. Just the thing for ‘real world’ players who don’t want to lug a big rig around when mostly playing in home, studio (yes!), practice, small-to-medium gigs (DI for bigger). Inputs for active and passive electric basses. Does the deed nicely for upright and electro-acoustic, too! This combo was bought for the discount price of £569 just before Ampeg started bringing in their Chinese stock. It is in extra fine condition and is doing its Ampeg thing just swell. Shops around here price their second hand at 2/3 of new. That would be £379. I am only asking £320 INCLUDING insured overnight delivery within the ‘normal rate zones’ in the UK. Please note that this is NOT the later Chinese one with digital effects. This is a real amp, not bedroom toy. Top strap handle + sprung recessed side handles + on wheels! No mobility issues here…. Here is a link to the owner’s manual which has all the specs and features in detail: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/BA115HP_210.pdf"]http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/BA115HP_210.pdf[/url] The features list is: 1. Passive input 2. Active input 3. Gain 4. Style: This five-position midrange tone chooser 5. Low 6. Mid 7. High 8. Master Volume: Controls the amp, headphones, CD and Line Out 9. Mute: Neat. CD is still active when muted. 10. CD input 11. Tuner 12. Headphones 13. Balanced line out 16. HF level control: controls the HF Horn treble boost Can supply more info and pictures if required, but really, it looks great and works great – not much more I can say!

Amp will hold its value better...

PMd re pre

Well... Mate Geoff needs his chimney rebuilt and has seen the scaffolding cost. So... £800 gets you: [attachment=26542:mustang_front.JPG] [attachment=26543:mustang_back.JPG] [attachment=26544:mustang_hs.JPG] Caseless, says he. Midlands based, he is.

A snip if it is an old orig series....

My two were green carpet, as is Andy67's V4. My matching 2x15 cab is green carpet, as was my 4x12. The V series stuff seems to have been built as orders came in; hence, some have the standard pre and some the compressor version (a la V8). Expect some internal quirks in all examples. Never saw a cab in the silver.... Original valve sets were Trace printed Ruby Tubes Chinese. Tonality seems pretty much valve independent.

These are bril! Bright and lively - and the same size as the 4x10. Great stand-alone cab. If I didn't have one.... Mine is clean, and was a snip at £250.

Damn! And I was just about to....

V8 went a while back... Current Trace amps: AH150 AH200 AH250 AH500 Current valve bass amps: Fender Bassman 135 Hiwatt 200 Sound City 100/120/200 Marshall JMP 50/JMP 100 But you probably want a V8.... ...sigh....

Clean adn cheap enuf. Screaming out for a set of USA 6550s to make it the bass amp it was born to be..

Friend needs to punt his Bassman 100. I have a 135 and a 70, so said I would pass the opportunity onto you... My tech services it regularly. Good, honest piece that has been cranking out de-tuned guitar for a couple of years with no issues. Valves still fine - 1 recent replacement that matched t'other 3. He wants £450. I would expect he would incl. del. but I haven't checked (forgot to ask). [attachment=24948:bassman_head_mike.jpg]

Heard this when matching to a 1x15 cab - '70s Peavey with a cast frame 16ohm Celestion 100w. Warm, rich, fat sound. Good wee home/studio thing.

Hi Jack to jack always useful. How many and how much?

Hi My pal techs at a shop there on Thursdays. If you can drop it by Strung Out, I'll give you a decent set of strings or WHY for the effort. Cheers Chris 07973 912164

I got mine with a Mk4 1x15 combo - the tall one. Chap used to put it on top as his extension. Jayziz. But we were younger then... ...so much younger...

I always do that - you can't tell what a rig can do by noodling in a corner of a shop. And I always give an honest price behind all the extra help. I have no idea where the "what's it worth" thing is coming from. All the shops around phone me for pricing advice! Anyway... I can continue to enjoy the stunning sound of a full stack of ply cab fatness and smooth, efficient drivers being spanked by 250 'old Trace' watts. It's what put Trace/British bass on the map and hasn't been done as well by anybody since. There are other great sounds, but none better....

The rig is for sale, as are all the individual items trialled.

Jeff, there are some things missing from your description.... 2 hours of live/full volume direct comparison trial of heads: AH150 MkV AH200 Ser 6 AH250 Mk2 AH250 MkV Through cabs individually and as stacks: Trace 410Mk2 Trace 410H Ser 6 Trace 15+10 Ser 6 Trace 1x15 MkV Trace 15+18 Mk1 And to confirm tonality preference: Hartke USA 410 Marshall Jubilee 1x15 And to confirm stack is reequired: AH150 Mk2 1x15 combo with/without extension cab In every combination for two hours. Throwing in a Premium ++ grade XLR-XLR and Jack-Jack speaker leads. Then, pull a Mk2 1x15 to match the favoured 410. Finding a problem with the driver, replace with an original replacement Fane 200 and bring the cab to town in time for a trial. [i]Now[/i] let's see... MkV AH250 with footswitch and silent fan and working UV unit (full tech checkup 2 weeks ago) Matched cab stack - clean/just a few knocks and the usual logo scrapes black painted solid ply with orig 50w Celestion 10"s and Fane 15" - try to find one of those, let alone a stack With top grade leads And promising solid tech support in the event of anything emerging in the first wee while of ownership. And letting you have it for a full rehearsal with no deposit. And allowing swap back and full trade in if you change your mind on amp or cab based on the prices discussed. And paying by cheque. All in all, a milk 'n honey tone powerhouse dark chocolate thunderstack that you personally chose in preference to some of the stuff you have listed in your brief.
