[quote name='spongebob' post='752856' date='Feb 21 2010, 03:06 PM']I'm after a pet. Considering a gerbil, a python, or a crocodile. Any ideas?[/quote] I'm not sure the analogy of a Gerbil (if you're comparing to a Rick) is right, but fair point. I am obviously after advice because I don't have enough knowledge myself.

These seem to retail for similar money but the peaveys don't hold their money as well. Do you think there'd be much difference sound between the two as I'm buying 2nd hand?

Thanks for all your help guys, I guess what I'm really try to figure out is what will give me something usable in pop/indie/rock music that the P-Bass Deluxe isn't very good at. And is the popular opinion that the P-Bass is a slow neck? It feels quicker than my old Rickenbacker from memory.

I used to play with my old band a few years ago and had a Rickenbacker and Stingray. We played indie and rock, and they hated the Stingray sound but loved the Rick, I prefered playing the Stingray but the sound of the Rick. The thing is when I left the band the bassist who replaced me used a MM Sub and they thought that sounded great, but I could only achieve a trebley-punchy effect with my Stingray? Now we've reformed and I am using an American Deluxe P-Pass which gives me an all-round sound that I'm hapy with. I am looking to get another guitar to give me some variation and don't know what to get? I could get a Jazz but don't really want two Fenders but I really want something that will give me something the P-Bass can't. Logic is telling me to get a passive (as the P-Bass is active) and a thinner faster neck, therefore a Warwick although I have no experience with these. I'm quite confused and could do with peoples thoughts.

It's only as heavy as an SVT Classic or something like that surely? Thing is I don't know whether it's worth paying teh extra or just going for an Ampeg with 8x10 for the same price or even less as just the Trace Head.

Does anyone know of a V4/V6/V8 going in the UK?

Not sure that's such a good deal now

[quote name='Thornybank' post='746682' date='Feb 15 2010, 11:19 PM']Sold mine for: £1000 £1250 with matching 4x10 £1200 Price of valves has gone up since, but they are full of Ruby Tube Chinese KT88s, oft badged Trace Elliot. If it is being shipped, be sure to get the KTs removed and packed safely. There is room inside for bubbled valves to be packed neatly. Another good idea is to have a wooden wedge put into th espace between the top of each transformer and the cabinet. if hte amp is dropped on its end, then there will be hope for the chassis. Seen a few 'leaners' in my time... Good luck![/quote] how long ago did you sell it may I ask? Also was it as good as legend has it? I have two on offer to me (one is yours kiwi!) and both are considerably more than £1000

I have an agreement to buy one of these pending shipping costs and wondered what the acceptable going rate for one would be?

Basically I have a p-bass and am looking for a backup but don't want another fender even a jazz. Was thinking about a corvette standard and wondered what the going rate was for them 2nd hand?

My V-Type 600H and 1048 cab currently up for trade on here. Will probably end up with an Ampeg and end up wishing I hadn't got rid of the Trace, the pull of a full valve head is just too much though!

I have an Ampeg Svt 450 head playing through a trace 300 watt cab. At about 60% volume the amp keeps cutting out with the peak led lighting up, I am using a P-Bass with active pick-ups. The svt also has a limiter. Has anyone got any ideas please?
