originalfunster Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) [attachment=15482:trace_rig.jpg][attachment=15324:DSC_0044.JPG] Hi All, After getting the news that we have our visa for Australia, its feeler time for some bass bits. I am after a bit of advice on their worth to start with, (to save transporting them half way around the world) so if any one is up to date-ish on what 2nd hand Trace gear goes for, I would appreciate any advice. Trace rig comprising of the following. 1 x Trace Elliot RA300 stereo power amp 1 x Ashley BP41 pre amp Both the above are in a heavy duty 3u flight case 1 x Trace 1048 (4 x 10)300w cab 1 x Trace 1028 (2 x 10)300w cab with heavy duty flight case ( you can just see the top of the flight case in the pic) 1 x Trace 1518 (1 x 15)300w cab The 1048 was made between 1989-1993 the 1028 would have been mid 80's According to those nice people at Trace (you know the ones with the red stripes and tolex type material) All with battle scars, (but these do not affect their performance in any way) = 1 Very loud rig....... cheers Gary NEW PICS ADDED TO GENERATE A BIT MORE INTEREST!!!

4000 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That 2x10 looks a very interesting little beast; I've not seen one that size/spec before. Could you give more details? Looks more like half a 4x10 than any Trace 2x10 I've ever seen. FWIW I love the old pre-Kevlar Trace cabs; I've yet to pay anything I like as much. If only someone would reproduce them in a 45lb package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalfunster Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 [attachment=15360:DSC_0076.JPG][attachment=15359:DSC_0069.JPG] It is half the size of the 4 x 10, 300w 8ohm circa mid 90's. It is an original cab made by Trace, and not a cut down 4 x 10, I have inc a pic of the rear showing serial and model number, also inc one showing the flight case for it. Not sure what else I can tell you other than that though, I am sure there is a Trace boffin out there that can give us more info.

Maybe it was one of the first 2x10s they did? (- ah, doubtful; mid 90s) Very interesting either way. Edited October 30, 2008 by 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalfunster Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have done a bit of searching and come up with this link [url="http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/support_3.php?flag=GB&lan=UK"]http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/support_3.ph...g=GB&lan=UK[/url] go down to the Discontinued Product Catalogues bit and have a look at the heading "speaker cabinets" the 1048 cab says 1992. The guy I brought the rig from said he brought it new about mid 90's. Maybe he meant early 90's? Maybe I should edit the date untill someone can confirm what year they would be from?

originalfunster Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Just had an email back from Trace Elliot. They told me that the 1048 were made between 1989 and 1993, and the 1028 would have been around mid 80's. And here is a pic of the whole rig [attachment=15473:Picture_002.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trace_n_bass Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Back on the subject of the 2x10 I've checked through all the brochures dating back to the MkV and there's no mention of it. The XLR sockets also look like the pre-amps and amps of the Mk4 era. So it's either pre-1987 cab or a later custom made one. I'd probably guess at the former though.

originalfunster Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well despite my best efforts of luring you in with the Pammy pics, I have had lots of views but little interest. So anyone know roughly what would be a realistic price for this little lot on e-bay? Thanks Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has never been used as a standalone (by me anyway) because it is a stereo amp I use the 2 x 10 with either the 1 x 15 or the 4 x 10 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
