Hi there, although I'm not in the market for a big tube head this seems very fairly priced... i think £750 is a great deal for 400W of tube head... are you sure you want to part with this???? good luck Andy

[quote name='longtimefred' post='1146474' date='Mar 1 2011, 09:53 PM']WOW! just WOW! I dont think i will ever sell my V4. Its just too damn good, at everything. Yours is slightly different to mine, mine has the overdrive channel and compressor. I didnt know they did 2 models. Do you know any history about the differences? just to please my geekiness As far as i know, they only made around 20 of these. Good luck with the sale, someone is gonna be in heaven with this sound![/quote] Hi there..just a chip in sort of thingy... Your V4 is the same series as the V8 I had, these were the last tube amps produced by 'the real Trace' , these were later than the original 'V' type range which all had a tube preamp and a choice of either SS (hybrid sub series) or tube power stages.. which came as a V4 (Andy's model) and a V6 (4 tubes along the back and 2 'dog-legged' inwards... these suceeded the original 'Twin' (100w 2xKT88), 'Quattra' (200w 4xKT88) and 'Hexa' (300w 6xKT88) series which had GP series SS preamps (there was also an 'in-between' VA400 (6x6550 with both SS AND tube preamps)... Andys' series of V4 is so in your face for 200 'Rock' watts it's not true whereas the V6 was much more HiFi.. I've heard this set up umteen times and it is easily as good as you think it's goingto be.... [i][b]but louder!!![/b][/i] Andy (a fat bald one)

I had a Player in 'Harlequin' finish from new... fabulous bass.. at this price this is an absolute bargain. Good luck, whoever buys this will be well chuffed. Andy

Just had a ghost appear and make me concentrate on fretless again.... cannot do this... gas wise Bank loan it is... thanks to all those who responded.... hopefully you'll eventually get one of these... so worth it. Andy

Now sober... ah... em... BUMP

Lovely looking bass... good luck. Andy

had a Fortress fretless once.. fabby bass for the money.. good luck... Andy

Can't the God of pay your bills or emmm something nasty will happen has dictated that I must continue.... there will now be a short interlude whilst i pay homage the other great God.... Cider.... goodbye

Realise it's not a little cash...so it's a, "if £2K is too much but i really want it but I only have... and I could trade this...." type of BUMP... Frozen pipe & Central heating sorted... fire close to working... Bill due type anxiety forces meek mannered fat man to sell his soul type provocation.... (that said this is NOT a cheap instrument.....) Just remember...a PM in the mail is worth the chance of a 'don't be ridiculous' reply in the scheme of things...

If what's caught your eye is my GB Spitfire Fretless 5 I'd be happy to talk ...... oh well Lovely bass, good luck with getting what you're after. Andy

Saturday hangover type Bump

Sunday type bump....

Mid week hike to the not depths.... I [i][b]do[/b][/i] need pennies but happy to consider part p/x for something 34" scale 6 string plus cash... or EUB ish... or then again....

Lovely... very lovely... very very lovely...good luck with the sale. Andy

Thanks both.. site ineptitude 1 fat man attempts 0..... I will come and go a bit (you can ALWAYS offer more ::""!!) on the price and having thought about it a little... an NS EUB may be a PX possibility (preferably a 5)... still need to raise pennies so a US one is probably out... lest ye feel particular generous.... happy more snow... fat snow coated urchin in Edinburgh.....

Thanks for the kind words and advice... points noted and title updated... Hurry hurry hurry... Gas Engineer to feed....

Not in the market but ... lovely looking bass... sucker for matching headstocks... who isn't. Andy

Hi there, if this is the one that came from 'The Beeps' I've played it and it's a dream... was thinking of it at the time as I'd had one in the early 90's and loved it then... IMHO these are way ahead of the newer ones. Good luck. Andy

Hi there, 1st off... sorry but not in the market.. however... used these plenty, especially the originals; i understand the re-issues are up there with the originals in terms of construction and components.... that being the case YAHOO there is no more from 200W.... perioid... don't care about design , technology etc... if you just want to be LOUDER.. no better way of doing it... Good luck with the sale Andy

Have played this recently... absolutely knockout, lowish, buzz free action and the neck is really comfy, easy to play for hours... something to keep one amused whilst we wait for the snow to melt... Andy

[quote name='Marcus' post='1013796' date='Nov 5 2010, 10:02 PM']Guys.... just bought Bassadders's Markbass CMD151p so my 3 month old Bass cube is up for grabs..... Punches well above it's 30W in my opinion and sounds great for home practice, loads of great build in tones available Bargain..... £75 collected from Sunderland Mark[/quote] I have one of these... totally agree wit it punching above its weight... I use it at rehearsals with two acoustics, an electric and basic kit and it does fine as long as the drummer doesn't get silly... Fab value at the price.

Had a listen to this the other day with Andy's V4... fabulous cab ... but... Sk8 is unfortunately right... with a big tube head this is an absolutely killer combination and if you hear this you are DOOOOMMMMEED.. luckily you're doomed to the bass sound from hell.... buy now... stop in front of the wife... tilt your chin forward and say... bought an Ampeg 810... take your best shot!!!

Friday... day 'x' of our epic journey... today we shall mostly have a bump... feel free to make an offer...
