I bought this really old EMG pickup, it has some weird residue on the pickup (maybe glue?) I've tried just normal cleaning wipes and IPA just as I know those won't harm the plastic but I've had no luck, any one else know what I could try that would get rid of this stuff?

Thanks

How long have you had it please ? Regards, Steve 

Sorry Steve just seen your message, I've had it a few months.

Ashdown RM800 EVO II in as new condition, probably used for around 2 hours since purchasing, will come in original box. 

An amazing bass head, but I just don't use it enough.

Can post if need be or Cash On Collection is also fine.

Thanks for looking.

FWIW, I dare say that being a demo/trade show bass, it's also probably been played by quite a few famous players! Cool piece of history!

Thank you! It certainly is a cool peice of history!

That's such a cool piece of bass art/history, GLWTS

 

Out of curiosity, how did you come to own it?

Thanks! I bought it off Mark Gooday Himself  

Status S3000 Bass Custom Made For Trace Elliot.

This bass was made for Trace Elliot in the 90s. It's a really cool bass, and it plays really, really nice. It is the only one of its kind, you will never find another one like it.

Nice part of Trace Elliot and Status's history. It has been set up and serviced, not long ago, with 40-100 strings. This bass has been at the Trace Elliot shows in the 90s and was also used as their test bass.

It has dings and marks here and there and also some lacquer cracking, but it does not affect the functionality of the bass.

Collection preferred since not having a case for It.

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Open to trades,

Thanks for looking.

**EDIT** 

Price Reduced To £2350

Hi everyone I have a Trace Elliot AH500X Series 6, it's 110V, is there a way I can convert it to 220V? I know I can use a step-down transformer but I'd like to convert it internally if possible.

Thanks

Six sets of Dunlop dbn40100 40 - 100 strings, nickel wound, brand new, only reason for selling as I've started using stainless steel strings.

I paid £35 per set, I'm asking £25 per set. 

Cash on collection or can post at your expense.

Thanks for looking

Nice amp! Great price, GLWTS

That sort of rules out the tube input and a potentially worn tube as that part sits in front of the green channel. Series 6 GP12 pre-amps are pretty solid and most things i've come across with them are usually age/wear issues with stuff like input jack contacts/ dry solder joints on the front board or occasionally some components failures after a long time. These amps are getting on for thirty years old so a few issues are to be expected. The graphic/pre-shape circuit is solid state switching, a couple of transistors and IC chips. Later SMX heads went back to physical relays instead of ICs. Each have good points and bad points for reliability. It could be just worn buttons or a dodgy transistor in the switching circuit but to be honest without getting the amp up on a bench to test, its just guess work. A VA400 is definitely an amp worth repairing so unless its been in and out of a tech shop costing you tons of money to keep it going, I'd keep it and see if you can find a local tech to check it over for you. Some folks on this forum have mentioned Ashdown might look at a Trace Elliot repair and if your in Essex, Heybridge might not be too far to travel and get your VA400 checked out by them. Worth a phone call I would say. 🙂

For the record, I haven't come across buzzing from the pre-shape/graphic on a Series 6 GP12 other than the actual press in switches being worn out. That usually just causes issues actually switching on/off not random hum noises. 

 

Going to run it down to Ashdown today 😁

Is the short hum present when using both the valve pre-amp input ( RED ) and the standard pre-amp input ( GREEN ) or does the symptom change when using either input with the shape/graphic buttons? Also are you using the front buttons or a footswitch to activate the shape/graphic?

Hi, the short hum from activating the buttons is coming from the green channel, but if I use both channels together it happens. Also I'm using the buttons to activate them not a footswitch :) 

Hi everyone I have a VA400, when I engage the pre shape or graphic button it makes a weird short hum, it's hard to explain, and the hum also kicks in when you slap. I've attached 2 videos to show what I mean.

Hopefully someone knows what the problem is I would like to use the amp as it sounds great but those noises and the hum coming from the amp makes it almost unusable.

Hi everyone I want to trade my Status S2000 for another 80s S2000/S2 but a solid colour. 

I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks

I have one - had no idea that it would be advertised with a price tag like that.

 

GLWTS

Am I out on pricing? I've only gone by previous reverb sales that I've seen sold

And thanks!

Here I'm selling my Trace Elliot Bright Box, I never really used it to be honest I only ever had it because it looked cool on top of a TE Stack. 

I've had it serviced by my amp tech.

Not in bad shape for its age, few marks and scuffs here and there but it will clean up well

I also have a AH500X and AH250 for sale on basschat I could do a deal with a head and bright box if that interests anyone.

Can possibly post but I would prefer collection.

Hi,

are you ok with shipping the cabinet to CZ? Or perhaps, I can arrange a courier...

 

Thanks

 

Hi yes if you arrange your own courier I can I'll do my best to pack it up but it will be at your own risk if it gets damaged

@ValleyArts did you get the Bright box repaired?

 

Hey Paul, yes, I had my friend at rocket music in Ipswich take a look at it and sounds OK now (well they never sounded great in the first place) I'm probably going to sell it anyway as I only wanted it as they looked cool.

I've got an AH500X that I'm not using much and would prefer to trade it for a Series 6 AH350, just been serviced, but would also sell.

Please message if you have one and would do some sort of deal.

Will upload more pictures in a few days 

Thanks

Didn't we do this already??

 

Not sure what you mean?

Hi all, I have a Trace Elliot bright box, and it's distorting a little bit, I'm pretty sure one of the speakers are blown, does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Thanks
