This is a wonderful looking bass and as far as custom handmade basses go, its a total steal!! I'm not in the market for a fiver right now, but if I was, I'd certainly have a punt on this. Congrats on making such a lovely thing and I sincerely hope you can shift it soon mate ;-) BARGAIN BUMP!!

Bump for a class combo! This is positively pristine next to mine and is an absolute bargain! Fellow owner's bump!

Hope you won't be the waiting man too much longer Joe; amazed it's still here! I saw KC doing this at Shepherds Bush Empire in '95, awesome stuff! Levin, what a legend!

Finances won't let me have this Joe, but nevertheless, have a "feel no fret" themed bump [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYe7lEhiXH8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYe7lEhiXH8[/url]

Lots of love chay, just missing the dough right now mate :-(

It had to go Bill, you know how it is....

Now we're all happy

I love alan's work, wish I had the funds to get one made! Beautiful!

this is now sold pending payment

Hello Gui Sorry to hear you're parting with the rig matey, looks great all together! All the best with the sale bud

The amp is now on hold. Very quick indeed, I must say!

[b]Good afternoon Bc'ers! [/b] [b]Here we have a very lovely old British made Trace AH250 from the late 80's for sale.[/b] [b]It's in amazing condition for it's age! [/b] [b]A couple of Bc'ers have owned this before me. Firstly I saw it posted by phil.mcglassup in this thread just over a year ago:[/b] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/153364-trace-elliot-rig/page__p__1403554__hl__trace%20elliot%20rig__fromsearch__1#entry1403554"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1403554[/url] [b]It was then bought by sshorepunk (Tony), who then sold it on to binkybongo (Bill)[/b] [b]Bill bought it from Tony with the 1153 cab but didn't need the head itself, so sold it on to me.[/b] [b]I only bought this amp because my own AH250 (an earlier Mark IV) was faulty at the time and this one really is mint for its age. I recently got the Mark IV amp fixed though and seeing that my home is starting to ressemble something like a Trace Elliot museum, I need to move at least one of these amps on, so this Mark V has to go. My Mark IV is very tatty in comparison to this one but I'm quite attached to it [/b] [b]As I say, it's in amazing condition with no issues. The only niggle is that the green EQ and Preshape buttons can be a little temperamental (ie you sometimes have to press them a couple of times before they turn on/off) - this is a well known issue with this particular GP11 model. There is a tiny nick in the tolex, near to one of the metal corners on the top (see pic)[/b] [b]I've done four or five gigs with this amp and it is still in the same nick it was in when I got it from Bill. I don't think it's been used much as a gigging amp over the years but whoever did use it has really looked after it! Anyone who knows their Trace stuff will know what they are looking at. 'nuff said![/b] [b]As the amp is quite weighty, I would really prefer it to be collected, but it can be sent at the buyers expense. I can also deliver, within reason. The amp is in Liverpool.[/b] [b]I'm looking for £180 for the amp.[/b] [b]Cheers! Any questions, fire away [/b][b] [/b] [url="http://s751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/Bobbyk_album/Mark%20V%20AH250/?action=view&current=IMG_4506.jpg"][/url][url="http://s751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/Bobbyk_album/Mark%20V%20AH250/?action=view&current=IMG_4512.jpg"][/url][url="http://s751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/Bobbyk_album/Mark%20V%20AH250/?action=view&current=IMG_4509.jpg"][/url][url="http://s751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/Bobbyk_album/Mark%20V%20AH250/?action=view&current=IMG_4514.jpg"][/url][url="http://s751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/Bobbyk_album/Mark%20V%20AH250/?action=view&current=IMG_4511.jpg"][/url][url="http://s751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/Bobbyk_album/Mark%20V%20AH250/?action=view&current=IMG_4517.jpg"][/url]

That's a lovely thing Bill. All the best with the sale mate!

Bump for a an absolute bargain!

Is the board on this rosewood? Looks to be a very nice bass!

It's got a lovely board on it - Temptation abounds....!

+1 to everything Paul said. I de-fretted my one of these. It sounded great before and still does now! MASSIVE bargain this, anyone umming and ahhing over it should just go for it, you won't regret it!

That is cool as feck! Really nice playing too Wombat!

I bet it cost quite a bit back in 1982; I remember when Trace gear emerged and it was very expensive! Mine is about 1984 I think and it's had quite a few owners I'm guessing. Just had it repaired and it's back to full health If I didn't already have wall to wall Trace gear I'd be tempted by this Once again, all the best with the sale mate

Looks in great nick too. I've got a Mark IV AH250 but this is obviously older, maybe it's a Mark II or III GP11 on there?

Lovely bit of black and green history right there! Great to see and good luck with the sale

This really is a work of art! Just been looking at the the Myspace page, such a gorgeous thing that bass. A very reasonable price too! Bump!

This is a bargain! Wish I had the dough mate. :-( All the best with it. Up the Yams!!

Ahh, my old Jack was this colour First proper bass I had, back in the 90's. loved it! Bump for a bargain!
