NickA Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Hi, I have for sale (or possibly trade) a mint condition Trace Elliot 1215 300W combo. The pre-amp is the GP12SMX with 12-band eq, pre-shape, blendable valve or solid state input and dual band compressor. I bought it new in 1998, when it cost £699; it's barely been out of the house and is in as new condition. It has the 300W power amp and a single 15" speaker. I'm loathe to part with it in many ways; I can get any sound I want out of it really. But it's bigger, heavier and louder than I need and takes a lot of knob twiddling to get it working with my double bass. I need something that's portable and won't dominate a small pub! It's in Derby if anyone wants a look & try. Preferably for collection but I might be persuaded to deliver a reasonable distance.
NickA Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 Bump ... or offers. I just (on a whim) bought another bass ... need to reduce clutter or get a bigger bass-ment.
TheGreek Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 If you're thinking of buying this check out my post in the Weird & Wonderful thread for TE covers - fella on ebay selling them for about £6 each. Protect this amp when you buy it.
NickA Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 It's never had a cover! Never needed one as it mostly lives in my music den (one trip out to a Jazz workshop over the summer) not had an exciting life poor thing
NickA Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 Still selling. On the other hand, it sounds really good with my newly acquired Warwick Dolphin and even quite "modern" (ie clean HiFi) with the power amp driven from a PJB bighead ... so if I have to keep it, will just buy a sack truck to move it around (36kg .. which really, is the only reason I'm selling).
