M-Bass-M Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) About a year ago, I had a major GAS attack for some old school 1980's Trace Elliot goodness. The result was an MP11 pre-amp and RA500SX Power Amp. [b]MP11 Digital Graphic EQ Pre-amp[/b] [b][/b]The main feature of this pre-amp is the 11-band digital graphic eq. Rather than turning knobs, you increase or decrease the desired frequency using the buttons underneath the display. Once you have your desired EQ shape, then you can save this to 1 of the 10 user presets. These presets can either be recalled by pressing the corresponding button on the head, or they can be controlled using the midi footswitch. There are two inputs on the front, in all honesty I haven't worked out whether they are active/passive inputs, or just two separate inputs. On the back panel there are In, Through and Out midi connections, which I do not know what they do. There's a balanced DI XLR output, line in, line out and effects loop. [b]RA500SX Power Amp[/b] This is an old-school 3U power amp, so it's very heavy! It has two channels, which I'm guessing put out 250 watts each at 4 ohms. Each channel can be run separately with separate inputs, or run in bridged mono mode. There is a built in cross-over, allowing you to bi-amp the power amp with channel A as high pass and channel B as low pass. For both items, including the 6U Gator flight case, I'm looking for [b]£575[/b]. Due to the weight of this thing (20kg+!) this is for collection only, although I could possibly travel up to 20 miles or so to meet up (I'm just off J7 of the M62). I'd much rather sell these both together, so I'd always listen to offers for the both of them together before individual offers. The MP11 (inc footswitch) I'm looking for [b]£425[/b], and [b]£180[/b] for the RA500SX. Cheers Mark Edited May 1, 2014 by M-Bass-M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Wow, I've never actually seen an MP11 up for sale, and with the, absolutely vital, pedalboard too. Entwhistle used to use one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Wow, I've never seen one for sale either - I've absolutely no justification for this but I really want it! Looks to be in great condition too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 My dream rig from back in the day. Only ever saw the mp11 in the bass centre wapping. Now I am old enough to afford it I'm no longer young enough to lift it! Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Bass-M Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys.To be fair andybassdoyle, it's the power amp that is the heavy bit, the MP11 is actually fairly reasonable in weight. Couldn't tell you exactly, but at one point I had thought to pair it up with one of the lightweight class D power amps that Crown make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GremlinAndy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I too bought an MP11 and footpedal due to gas! It's like owning a piece of bass history! If you remember how much you wanted one back in the day, it's a great feeling to actually own one! The pre on its own is very light for something oldschool, but then it's only a pre-amp section, and all the heavy gubbins is in the power amp! Fortunately these days their are options which won't break the back. If I didn't have this combo already I'd be all over this deal... It took me quite a while to get the foot-pedal separately at a reasonable price. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfinger Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The power amp may be heavy but the power output is astounding. People aren't impressed by the 300W my TE head puts out. Then they hear it. On Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Trace Elliot amp power is well under rated. My TE GP11 have 200watt power and it is insanely loud on a single 2x12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
