I acquired this lovely MkV a few months back. It's been with the tech for what seems like an age but I finally got it back last week. Other than a few scratches in the tolex on top of the case it really is in superb condition.

And just to update a picture I posted a few months back which had a couple of generations missing, here's the collection covering the Trace era from the mid 80's to mid 90's, along with the baby Elf thrown in/on for good measure!

Also a sure deterrent to any would be noisy neighbours who want to "come and have a go"..

About 20 years ago I lived next door to a noisy PIA. I must admit if I’d had one of these and my Four10 back then I’d have had lots of fun. 😂

Here's some Green (& Silver) Tracey goodness. Always loved the Trace tone since early 80s, when I could not afford one. I have now overcompensated these last couple of years as part if my mission (obsession?) To rescue and rehouse some classic heads. The AH300-12 and Silver Valve preamp are my joint favourites, followed closely by the GP12 SMX. On the lookout for a AH500-12!

You sir, deserve some form of medal/award/prize/ honour for your services to Basskind...

Glad I don't live next door when you turn them up though...

Firstly it's about time chronic G.A.S. sufferers received some sort of recognition.

Secondly you've obviously heard my playing then!

What you got then? I'm talking old school green break-your-back stuff like this bad boy:

AH1000-controls-1.jpg

And this, my 1984 1110 combo. Serial no. 002. So old that it has toggle switches like a 60s car. Sounds great though:

Combo, two heads, 4x10 and 2 x 1x15

I acquired this lovely little lot the other day: AH300 SMX, 4x8 and matching 1x15. Ultra compact cabs labelled as V-type extension - presumably for the 4808 and 115 V-type combos. I've had lots of trace rarities over the years (including a 4808 combo) but never seen either of these in the flesh before. It sounds superb! 😀

 

The little 8" drivers are Celestion BG8-60 units as found in the 4808 combo and early SWR Henry 8x8 cabs. They certainly punch well above their size might suggest - a lovely driver. The 15" is slightly less glamorous loaded with the C15H which is a custom version of the Celestion K series. They were in the 1153 and the 250 / 300w combos - a great sounding 15 despite only a modest spec.

As a size reference, notice how big the Squier Jazz seems in the top pic and the horizontal format 400SMX / 2103H / 1153 in the lower one.. I've dubbed it the 'mighty mini rig'.. 😊
