this truely one of a kind amp is now on ebay!

Right have spoken to try and find more info as have never really bothered before.

I called the company on the trace elliot website that it says for products pre-dating 2005

before peavy purchased TE as some of their engineers work for this company now.

The guy advised me this may either of been a one off job for an endorsed artist or for used as a piece for trace elliot shows.

he said the v6's were originally a little unreliable so as well as the cosmetic changes this amp may have had and the tubes there may of been some circuit mods.

Heya,

Right always said I would never sell this but I would prefer the money right now as im skint and cannot claim MP expenses =(

Its an all valve bass head and is a one off! If you look up Trace Elliot V6 you will find they are already pretty rare but this one is a one of a kind Custom model serial CV6001 brought off a Trace Elliot trade show its around 12 years old i believe.

These amps run valves really well even at low volume! and has a really smooth sound with alot of punch and can go way loud!! it runs at 300watts apparantly! but sounds alot more!! and is very reliable I have had it for 6 years and its never gone wrong!


Ok a little about the amp

The controls are simplistic

gain

bass,mid,treb and a pull shift knob on the mid's

bright and deep switches

Di Section with grond switch and pre post eq section selection

and a volume and standby

oh also its got a light thats in a thing that makes it look like a glowing jewel which is a bit pimping =)

This amp is a tribute to rock solid engineering and is one of very few all valve bass heads!


Main differences to a standard V6

the casing is completely different it has a silver lacquer finish with black holed billet front and backs and it has 6550eh tubes

offers?

so far i have been advised around 600-1200 pounds. As this is a Custom one off amp i guess its really worth what anyone is willing to pay. But if there are any collectors of these amps out there maybe they have a vague idea!

Heya!

Just trying to find out what my bass head is worth as looking to sell it on ebay possibly soon!

Any ideas? please feel welcome to comment!

Its a Trace Elliot V6 Custom serial CV6001

Built in the U.K it was purchased off a Trace Elliot trade show by the shop and i beleive it was built as a show piece.

Its like a standard V6 but with a different case, And its got the 6550eh tubes in it!
