cattytown Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Any interest - make me an offer! You don't see many of these around, as a result, I am not sure what they go for, Designed for double bass - two channels with separate EQ plus graphic and notch (feedback) filter. Barely used really. Piezo friendly input impedance. Pre and post eq DI outs 100 Watts, 15" speaker. The white mark on the back is a little paint from being against the wall. Location is Lancashire (Bolton) and in the first instance I'd rather not post - it's a little heavy and I do not have a suitable box. Edited June 27, 2023 by cattytown price drop 3 Quote
cattytown Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 Still for sale - with entertain offers Quote
ltownbass Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Shouldn't this should be in the amps section? Maybe if you move this thread you'll get more interest Quote
cattytown Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Possibly - it has been there as well. It's here mainly as it is aimed at double bass players. It's a bit of a niche amp, and technology has moved on with even upright players now classing 100W as a practice amp... It's now on ebay as well. As you can tell I have not been in a hurry to sell it :-) 1 Quote
Marc S Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Yes, if it's an amp designed for use with DB - this is probably the right section for it Never seen one of these - just wish I was a bit closer, so I could pop along & try it But Cardiff - Bolton to try an amp is a bit far lol Anyhow, GLWTS Just realised, it's been for sale a while. I can tell you're not in a huge rush 1 Quote
Owen Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I used to have on of these. The pics have gone. Is it the 12" verion or the 15" one? Either way it is a nice piece of kit and worth £150 of anyone's £. Quote
cattytown Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 It's a 15. and I still have the instructions! With modern high power amps and small, light but potent speaker cabs it's not going to compete for out and out volume - would be great for a quieter player. I'll try to either find and reinstate the pics, or take some more. Quote

Jezyorkshire Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 15inch speaker is useless for double bass, i would stick it for sale in amp section? Quote

Personally, I have tried 15" speakers with DB and I couldn't get on with them But of course, we all have our own tastes / methods / sound we want to achieve If this is an amp designed for acoustic instruments - then maybe in this instance, the 15" speaker will work well with DB? I don't think it's easy to say the above - in general terms Jezyorkshire - I would agree, but this might be the exception.... Quote
NickA Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I never played or even saw one of these .. but Trace used to have a very high reputation for acoustic instrument amplification, acoustic guitarists who couldn't quite afford AER used to love them; I think Trace knew their stuff. Plus 100 "trace" W is probably a lot louder than anyone else's 200W. 'tis true, my trace 1215 combo with its 15" speaker was horrible with the double bass, but it wasn't really designed for it! For all the build quality and loundness, Trace size and weight is always an issue of course. How much does this one weigh? Quote
cattytown Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 It's not listed in the spec in the instructions - I'll see if I can figure a way to weigh it, but it's, er, pretty solid :-) Quote
AndyTravis Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I find myself wanting this...how does it sound with electric? im only in Swinton (4 miles or so) so would be worth a look... Quote
cattytown Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 Can't say I have tried it with electric! never really occured to me TBH! You're welcome to give it a try - I work from home so can even handle daytime dropins. Quote
TheGreek Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 JOOI what does this sound like with a fretless bass? 1 Quote
Marc S Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Wow - this amp is still around? Would have thought it had been snapped up by now, at that price Quote
