Agree on all points. Fred seems very, very enthusiastic about this and really believes they’ve nailed the old school Trace tone. I really hope I can try one out at some point because it ticks all the boxes for me - everything I need and nothing I don’t. Would have to be bloody amazing to dethrone my Glockenklang mind you …

I play to be like an old grouchy ! But it's only for the joke  

More serious , I share your opinion and hope to try this gear . The more important is not the country of made but who thought the electric diagram , whitch defined the technical spécifications and the quality of components . The result and the bassist playing pleasure depend of this points .   

I have similar ARIES  but 6 strings , it's a very good bass . It's beautyfull and perfect made  . If you are looking to buy , you can go without hesitation ! 

@Merton yes , I know that , and the china can build very good quality , but at the start , a real TRACE ELLIOT is made in UK  .  The famous "things were better before"

Before Gibson and Peavey "TE" products .

Apparently the official announcement will be made this week

 

It seems to be nice ! But I'm sad for the "made in china"   

🙄  ..... 22 KT88 !!

Very good condition ! I would like that ! But why are you so far away ? It's you who are far from me , of course ! 

I couldn't agree with you , the obvious defect of old generation TRACE ELLIOT is the excessive weight . I say ever that for me it is the perfect amplifier and we haven't done any better , but I have all my TRACE ELLIOT units only at home . On stage I play on BOSE L1 model II or EDEN TWX 500 (to small and lightweight !) with Phil Jones C4 cab.  I am 59 , lot of gear handling in the past and my back does not fail to tell me ! 

I am a truly TRACE ELLIOT lover , but the years make me careful for my vertebraes  

But with TRACE ELLIOT , only the sound is heavy ! 

You too ?  Respects my friend !  

The weight is over 40 kg ! 

I think so too ! 

@King Tut Please , how do have made the UV led illumination ? 

How many watts ? I never counted ! It's not important , I don't search many watts but the best productions of TRACE ELLIOT UK .

... I forgot !  1 pre-amplfier V TYPE , excellent ! 

@zero9 in the TRACE ELLIOT family , I have just 1 head COMANDO 100 (carpet) , 1 head GP12 AH 300 (carpet) , 1 combo GP12 SMX 4 X 10" , 1 old GP 11 (tolex) bi-amplification , 1 head V6 (carpet) - it's my favorite!- , 1 head V8 (tolex) (very rare) , 1 head EPAS 400 stereo ( very rare) , 3 cabinets 1018 (tolex) , 1 cabinet 1818 (tolex) , 2 cabinets 1153T (carpet) , 2 cabinets  2013H (carpet) . All in very good condition , it's an important thing for me . I can make the war !! 

But I prefer  playing bass with very nice sound  

Hi Paul ! 

@ChopthebassMagnific !  I like this bass

And the COBRA too !  Is your's ? 

Welcome Jasper ! 

I have a V8 head. 

But when it will be for sale,, I'd have been a dead long time ago! 

Hi everybody! 

I'm Yves, 59, modest amateur bassist. I'm not a good player but truly passionate. I play bass since more 40 years. I have some handcrafted basses with 5 and 6 strings. I am owner for several TRACE ELLIOT, UK manufactured of course! 

Scuz my bad english, I'm french.
