[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!!!!

Amazon Uk appear to be falling into line with Amazon.com! bang for your buck - apologies for the Americanism!!! Mrgig, you are correct, though some of the newer stuff is looking very sturdy indeed....I have the little brother of your V6 the V4 - these a particulalry bomb proof...however, early models/prototypes were very prown to failure do to over heating... btw, want your v6 swap my american pbass for it?? andy

that sound as though it could be real loud then??

any one got experience of these all valve 300 watt amps? seen them on amazon for £500...all valve? maybe entry level but thats a lot of bang for the proverbial buck!!
