Hey all. I have a 1995 Trace Elliot AH350 smx that is now surplus to and For Sale only please I now using my SVT7 and it's proving to be quite stable so the Trace Elliot is now for sale. The amp works 100% and has had a recent valve replacement with a cryo jobbie from Watford Valves and the UV light is working. The head has the GP12 pre amp, valve and solid state blend, two band compressor etc etc. The tolex has quite a bad tear on top of the wooden case but it would be an easy recover job. The price is reflected in this at £275 collected from Preston. I'd be reluctant to post it as it's quite heavy. I can deliver or meet within reason. The head was bought earlier this year from Kris or "observer" on here and served me well on the bigger gigs I've done over the last few months. Pics to follow soon. Cheers for now.

Hi Folks, I have two Ashdown ABM Cabs for sale, no trades please. A 115 compact and and a 210. They're both ABM cabs, 300 watts at 8ohms. Condition is 8/10, there's a few scuffs from loading but nothing major, no issues apart from that. Price is £125 each collected, £230 for the pair collected from Preston, Lancs. I'm happy to deliver locally or meet up within reason and also happy to package up if the buyer wants to arrange courier collection/delivery their end. I only have the one pic for now but can get more if needed. Bank Transfer, PP or cash on collection is fine. Reason for the sale is I've just bought an SVT7 and I fancy giving an Ampeg cab a go to see how they get along together. Cheers.

Hi Folks, Tough one for me this.... Since getting my Warwick this little beauty hasn't left the house so seeing as cash is tight and I'm in need of some more cab options It is with much regret and through gritted teeth that this one is going up for sale or trade. Not too sure how many of these Basses are in the country but this was the first one to come in direct from Willows in South Korea. I spoke to the maker personally to spec it and in his words he would make it very special as it's the first one into the UK. Well, he was true to his word.... The Bass is ( or should I say was) absolutely flawless and the work on it is absolutely top notch. It's as mint as the day I got it except for one tiny ding that I'll picture.... Bugger !! It's a two piece Alder Body in aged white (more cream really) with a quarter sawn Maple neck, 21 Medium Fret Rosewood Board with Pearl Block Inlays and Cream Binding. The frets are finished of to perfection as is the binding, the pocket fit is first class. The action is nice and low and it plays and sounds great. I've had numerous comments and compliment from every one who's had a fiddle with it. I spent £100 on a full set up and the luthier from Bolton (name escapes me atm ) who did the work said it was the nicest Jazz Bass he's seen. The Body is slightly smaller through the waist than a Fender Jazz so it's very comfy and I've since upgraded the Bridge and Tuners to Hipshot Items. It'll come with it's original gig bag and be well packed for shipping. The price is a very firm £350 collected for a sale plus £20 to ship first class fully insured but I'm looking for trade options as well with decent quality cabs, 10's preferably, not Basses please. This really is a superb quality Instrument that belies it's price and I will guarantee you would be hard pressed to find something as good for this money.

Hi Folks, After a long and finally rewarding search for my sound I'm going down the Trace Elliot route for amplification so as I have an AH350SMX inbound this is now for sale. It's a 600 watt head from 8 down to 2.8ohms with a selector switch to match the power section to your cabs. The head is in A1 perfect condition with no issues whatsoever and it comes with a good quality passed cover. It has quite a few useful features on the front panel...I'll quote from the manual which is better at decribing some of the stuff.... Punch which tightens up the tone without adding volume and a Bass shape switch which activates a low cut filter at 80 Hz, Sub-bass signals are filtered out which is great for getting rid of boom on problematic stages. The TUBE GROWL knob allows you to dial in natural compression and tube effects. It puts the ability to control the compressor parameters – threshold, ratio, make-up gain, attach and release – as well as tube saturation levels at your fingertips The EQ section is a bit different from the norm, Quote [i]Pure Parallel EQ is a technology based on the kind of circuitry generally found in high-end studio gear. The signal is distributed to all EQ bands simultaneously rather than being routed through the bands consecutively. The original signal is routed through via a passive circuit, practically circling the complete circuit. The filters for the respective bands arrayed in parallel to this circuit only process the targeted frequencies, which are then added back to the original signal. The Tchebycheff characteristics of the bass and treble filters make an extremely effectively processed signal possible: neighbouring frequencies in a selected field are processed in the opposite direction, i.e. neighbouring frequencies are lowered when a frequency is boosted, and raised when it is cut. This allows for clearly audible processing without excessive variations is level.[/i] Soundwise, the only thing that I've owned that I can compare it to is the Mark Bass TTE500. The Quantum has more bottom on tap though and a lot more features. My thoughts are that this head was designed with the Rock Player in mind and I'm not really a Rock kinda guy. I'll add a link to the Website, Manual PDF and a couple or reviews http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/products.php5?id=47&prod=QT%20600%20Head http://87.106.71.220/oma/huke/manual/D1058_QT600_Manual.pdf http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/102510 There's also a fair bit on TB if you have a look. Overall, a very good quality and great looking head and recently serviced by David Pye in Preston. I'd like £450 including postage or a bit less for collection or local delivery. Thanks.

Hey Folks, I have a pair of these cabs, 1 new and an older one. I've just pulled the trigger on something a bit posh so the new one is surplus to. I've had it just about three weeks ago from Thomann and it's been gigged once, it's perfect as new condition. No problems with it at all, everything works as it should, no rattles or buzzes etc etc. It'll come in the original box and shipped for £165. 600 watt,8ohms and as light as a proverbial one. It's at the studio now so I can't get a photo just yet but you all know what they look like. I can nip and get one or two on Tuesday if you insist. Bank Transfer preferred but Paypal is fine if you cover the fee's. Shipping to "UK Only" please and I'm not really interested in trades atm. Thanks.

Hey Folks, I have a Fender Japan P Bass that's for sale. I bought it of BurritoBassIt's of here earlier this year. In his words it was his main gigging bass throughout the nineties and needed a refret. So, rather than mucking about he sourced this replacement Q serial cij neck from Japan. I'm not sure if it's a 62ri or a 57ri to be honest but it has the extra strap button at the back of the headstock. It has a SD SPB1 p/up and wiring kit/pots etc from Kiogon. and genuine Fender replacement Vol/Tone knobs. It came with a BWB pickguard and I also have Torty one, I'll include these with the Bass. It has a quite a few dings here and there but it plays and sounds absolutely great. Currently strung with Flats, I can put some rounds on if needed. I'm looking for[s] £400 delivered, £380 collected.[/s] £350 collected, £370 delivered. I have a wooden case for it and it will be well packed, sent 1st class and fully insured. Cheers. Ps, The ashtrays are not fastened in the pics but are included. Cheers.

Hi Folks, I bought this a couple of weeks back....more for a look see than anything else. It's a good cab, 210 plus two 5" high frequency drivers. I gigged it over the weekend, It works fine, couple nicks on the the tolex but very minor Reason for sale, I've just bought a pair of GK 212 Neo's.so it's surplus to and gotta go. It's a great little top cab or stand alone 210, Very nice high's with no harshness as some tweeters can be.and great Mids too. £170 delivered which is what I paid a couple of weeks ago. Pics up later this afternoon. Cheers for looking. Edit, I've had a busy day so not managed to get my own pics yet. Here's the one from Rubis' previous for sale thread who I bought it off. I forgot to add, it comes with a canvas Trace Elliot cover and the badge had been removed prior to me owning it.

Hi Folks, Bought this a couple of months back but prefer the tone of my Eden WT550 to be honest so might as well see if this will move. It has a story so....... As above, bought of here a couple of months back but the amp arrived with 2 small dings on the underside where the feet are. It was a quick fix to pop them out but in doing so the threads in the chassis stripped, steel made from cheese I think. Anyway, I remedied this with a 4mm nut on each bolt job done. The head tested perfectly well, I gigged it a couple of times but noticed than when the compressor was on full it squashed to tone too much. I contacted Walbassist of here who has the same head and he suggested I put a new valve in the compressor and try that. To save any messing about I revalved the entire head. The compressor works 100% now as does the head. As I wasn't 100% happy to move the head on (if at the time I decided to) I sent the head of to Gareth for him to A/B it against his just to check it sounded and worked as his. The tone on his was slightly different but that was down to Valve choice alone. Since getting the head back I've gigged it a couple of times without issue, happy days, no problems what so ever and I'm very happy and confident that the amp is working 100% as it should. There was / is absolutely no damage at all to the top and all four sides and you have to really look to see any evidence underneath. Looks as good as any other. I might as well add that I contacted Markbass in Italy at the time and a replacement chassis was 40euros, 80euros to do the repair. However they wouldn't send me a replacement chassis as they have to put the safety info and serial number on there as well. It would have to go to Italy for the repair, they advised me to just use it. In light of the above and in respect of how much these are new I think a fair asking price would be £420 including shipping 1st class (and correctly marked as fragile) to the UK. It comes with an as new Markbass padded carry case as well. I'll stick a few pics up here but I have a lot more Hi Def ones to email if anyone wants to see them. Cheers for looking. Trade wise SVT7pro would be nice perhaps, No Basses tho' please.
