MB1 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 MB1. The AH 250 and AH 350 are more sort after in good nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yeah, i find a lot of amps go for absolute peanuts because nobody wants to send them, and hence nobody wants to pick them up. Probably why i got mine for such a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Oddest thing about that listing was that it said he could deliver up to 120 miles for £25. Which would be far less than a courier would charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It might have got some bids if the starting price had been under £100. But that auction's been up before - last time round it started at £420. If it was mine I think I'd try it as 3 separate auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I might be very wrong here but I don't think the cabs are genuine Trace.... Yes he says they've bene refinished but they don't look like 80s, 90s or modern TE cabs at all, the slot port is all wrong....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushuk Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 As above the grills look different as well as the cones, + the smx has more features, I always think if you have a stack you want it to look the part as well, that one looks a bit of a miss mash although probably sounds fine!

beerdragon Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 The seller has got back to me and this is his reply. As this was the second listing and need the money I would be looking at £100 for each cab and £100 the amp. this sounds pretty reasonable to me. but mertons post in particular has got me wondering about the cabs. advice needed i think. ta.

warwickhunt Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'd be inclined to agree that the cabs don't appear to be TE cabs. I've owned TE in the past and they don't look like the style of any that I've seen, @ £100 the head appears a bit of a better deal. If you are buying the cabs just as a pair of 2x10 cabs then fair enough but @ £100 a piece I'd be wanting to try out those cabs in a real life setting before parting with folding stuff for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Anyone have experience with the head in the auction?worth 100 quid? better than ashdown mag 300 or hartke ha4000, which are also going for 100 quid!too many options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all damn good prices though (Ashdown less so coz they're pretty cheap brand new now I think??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 has anyone had that trace head yet?? tempting for £100.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm off there Friday afternoon. i will post about the head if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 I picked the cabs up this afternoon. i managed to get them both for £180. i'm happy with sound and i though it was a good deal. the amp i left. when you depressed the EQ button it made a noise that sounded like a dry joint. a tap on top of the amp and it made it disappear. could be still a bargain at a £100 or even less.

I reckon amp could be a good buy for someone handy with a soldering iron - although I haven't seen the insides of that amp series to know how easy it is to access the components.

beerdragon Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I went with my mate who was going to buy the amp. he said fixing the dry joint was'nt a problem but finding it, he could'nt be bothered. the guy who was selling was williong to let it go for £100. as for the cabs. i'm not sure if they are genuine TE's, but i had a good play with them and they sounded pretty good.
