yep skint too! but the good lady has dropped the price to £650 which is more realistic - I've offered her a swap for my red pbass.

[quote name='99ster' post='59106' date='Sep 12 2007, 09:30 AM']Do nothing...especially not buy it for £2K. In my humble opinion I think that bass is barely worth half what he's asking for it - if that. Why?[list] [*]He's managed to break the truss rod (WTF?) - so the neck/fretboard has had to be repaired [*]The pickups /wiring aren't original [*]Sounds like there's been some re-routing to fit the EMGs & wiring [*]The bridge is replaced & then it's not even a real Badass bridge! [*]Someone's carved their name into the back of the headstock & this guy thinks 'great idea - I'll carve mine on top!' [*]Who knows what else has been messed with? [*]It looks in pretty poor condition & has been abused & chopped about rather than cared for & cherished [*]No ashtrays, or case [/list][/quote] its a schaller bridge thats on it...imo better than a badass! however on closer inspection the neckplate? burst at the screws! mustn't have been able to get a screw out and used pliers to bend it!!!! tosser....

never seen one rod nor knew trace did a v4 210 combo...only the 115 v4 combo I'm familiar with....anyhooos it is a v4 head and will be fantastic! adding a 115 cab will be killer! the V series are just monsters! take it from an experienced user! I currently have a loan of a V6, it is not so different from my v4, just marginally louder but does the 2ohm thing that I require to drive my 2 x ampeg b410hlf cabs and it is amazing as well...so is the v8....ffs just get it if you can afford it! or tell me where it is so i can get it!

different situation withs valves add more cabs bigger sounds! seriously my 220 watt V4 is never cranked above 40% and it cuts through anything!

ahh, I see! if you are thinking about it - I would and you wont regret it! even if its not for you reselling will get your money back.

maybe a little closer for you! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARITA-COME-NUOVO-Trace-Elliot-Twin-Valve-VALVOLARE_W0QQitemZ190156172939QQihZ009QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARITA-COME-NUOVO-Tr...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

100% agree shaggy! funnily enough my active trb5 does not like my trace V4 valve head! play passive all the time now........I wonder why?

[quote name='Sugden' post='66913' date='Sep 28 2007, 02:03 PM']Quality valve amp or not these things go for about £250. They are nice and sound damn good but if i paid £350 for one then saw another go for the normal £250 I'd be abit gutted.[/quote] price is immaterial with valve amps particulalry decent quality ones like the trace twin....I would definitley pay £350 for oe or at least would negotiate with the seller.

afternoon folks have to completely disagree with comments made here £350 for a quality valve amp is good value! As an owner and user of a Trace Elliot V4 these amps are phenomenal...monsters...the twin, hexa and quatra are older but really good amps and reliable and as well as sustaining their price tag will actually appreciate in time! I have used the v4, v6 and v8 of this range and find them all incredible amps surpassed by nothing! the sheer power of my V4 at 220 watt to the 300/400 watt v6 and the mighty and awsome v8 is staggering not even the mighty ampeg cl comes close! if any of these become available get them quick! you will have seen my up for sale potentially but as of now no chance! I would hate to lose mine!

cant see past rotosound myself! been using them for 25years!

dood - you the man! I will call john shuker and have a chat re this..... ta andy

for all those interested - new models ahoy!!! [url="http://www.yamahainsession.co.uk/?q=node/124"]http://www.yamahainsession.co.uk/?q=node/124[/url] andy

dood... you know that there is an attached stigma in using signature basses, do you think john shuker would build a yamaha attitude type bass to my spec?

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='56850' date='Sep 7 2007, 10:19 AM']I can vouch for the Attitudes. Don't so much sing and twang as roar and thump! Definitely different. Otherwise; OLP Tony Levin Fender Roscoe Beck (but the pick-up switch has to go in favour of a Volume / Volume or Volume / Pan arrangement) Quite like the new Statii - Pino Paladino or Guy Pratt designed models. Dunno if they're actually signatures [i]per se[/i], though.[/quote] o yes, oh yes - I have two attitudes and love them dearly!! worries the missus at times! they just kick ass and sound mighty - couldn't in a million years part with them....mind you when I kick the bucket, the kids will get them. they are like a fusion of a telebass and pbass, actually thats exactly what they are! trying to sell my pbass and squiers in order to fund an ampeg 810 and another yamaha attitude, a red or a black one or one of those anniversary series - they are just the dogs boll***s for mad rockers!!!!
