    *SOLD* DR Lo-Rider Nickel 45-100

    *SOLD* DR Lo-Rider Nickel Plated Steel on Hex Core 45-100 *NOW £18 Posted*

    Fitted these before I realised they are 45-100, when I really wanted 45-105. So take advantage of my stupidity and buy them for £18, including delivery to your atelier. They were on a Fender-style 4 in line headstock for a matter of days. Payment via bank transfer or PayPal please (you pay fees). :)

    Thanks mate, yes it really is a rather complete instrument functionally and aesthetically. I'd go so far as to say that in terms of quality of woods and build it's Custom Shop level, it also resonates really nicely. upgrading the PUPs to something slightly more special - Fralins at the neck perhaps and a split-able PUP at the bridge allowing both humbucker and single-coil options - would probably turn this into a very special bass. 

    I'd fit a CS 62 P pickup. Pure fantasy, of course. 9_9

    Entwistle PBX or PBXN?

    As said, the stock pickup on the RoadWorn series is a real cracker. The Entwistle P pickup is good, but doesn't have the vintage tone of the stock pickup. I have had both JBX and JBXN pickups on my Jazz and while they're great and powerful Jazz pickups, I fear the P version may not get you where you want to be.

    Also, if you've not used TI flats before you may find them a bit 'floppy' for want of a better word. When I had a RoadWorn P, I found that La Bella flats complemented the sound and playability perfectly and if you're looking for the vintage vibe and feel you can't do better. IMHO, of course. :)

    One modification I did do was to fit a Sprague Orange Drop cap which really enhanced the tone control a lot. Again, a very vintage sound.

    That's where it needs to be with my passive Jazz! I rarely get the clip light even at full beans! Conversely, I have to have the Master at about 8 o'clock otherwise the foundations of the house start to tremble, a pit opens in the floor and hordes of Satan's bats fly up the chimney!

    I suppose that compared to something like an Ampeg where just the head weighs in at over 80 pounds, it still is! I do like plenty of the class D, neo loaded light-as-a-feather gear, especially if I'm moving it... but there is still something intangibly wonderful about these rigs with a bit of 'heft'... and in this case it might not be light by modern standards (or any standards) but it's portable enough, and you can always put it on wheels 🙂

    Yes, it's all relative - back in the day I rocked an Ampeg SVT CL with matching 8X10 in flight cases - and thought little of it. I was much younger, stronger and more stupid then though, and there were very few 'lightweight' rigs about. Also thought about fitting castors, but this combo is in such good condition I don't want to compromise it's 'originality'... one day a totally original, undamaged, unmolested Trace combo is going to be worth thousands! I'll probably be dead by then, but whatever...

    Obviously, you know what this is. And given the quality of build, components and facilities available, this is a ridiculous bargain - especially given the condition, which is exceptionally good as you can see from the pics. This example has been standing in a recording studio for twenty years, has had very little use, and has been recently serviced. I really don't want to sell it, but even though it's ostensibly 'only' 150W RMS, it's still way too loud for my current band, a folk/Americana outfit. They play so quietly, it's ridiculous -  I have to have this combo at a lower volume level at gigs than I use at home! I need a much smaller, quieter amp. This combo can very easily keep up with a shed-building drummer and loud guitarists, don't let the power rating put you off - these are 'Trace Watts'. ;)

    Everything works as you'd expect and it's complete, no missing knobs or buttons and no rips, tears or staining to the fabric covering. It has had a very easy life. This one's marked 'Clive Button' on the PCB and was made in 1997, making it pre-Gibson era. It has the very useful single-knob dual-band compressor and still has the original custom Celestion 15" driver fitted. Just £95 for a quick sale, cash on collection please. Or bank transfer then collection, it's up to you. It's a bit heavy for posting and in any case I had a negative experience sending a combo via courier recently, so I'm not doing that any more. I'm in SE London near the A205 South Circular, down Sydenham/Crystal Palace/Forest Hill way. I could probably get a lot more for it if I sold it on the Bay, but I just can't bring myself to deal with all the wasters and deadbeats...

    If you've been dawdling and deliberating over a Trace combo, do yourself a favour, get in and get yourself a real bargain. :)
