ForbiddenWytch Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hey everyone I bought a 1999 built Trace Elliot GP12 SMX yesterday off of a fellow BC member but I need to find a few bits for it. Nothing major but would be nice to have it fully completed again. Basically, I'm in need of 4 of the tiny black screws that hold the top of the shell on, 1 of the green rubber surrounds for the pots on the front panel (just the rubber spacer that glows round the pots), one of the side carry handles/straps (with screws) and rack ears (again with screws) too. If anyone has one of these amps for spares and would sell me these parts then I'd appreciate it. Either that or if someone could point me in the direction of where to get them. I've tried eBay to no avail as well as British Audio Spares who don't have any of these parts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Have you tried contacting trace direct? its often worth a go 😉 Ime ( with other manufacturers) they will either have the spares or know where to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll fire them a message and see what they say. Luckily, turns out I don't need one of the rubber bits (found one on Reverb for £23 but that guy can sod off!) as the guy who had apparently serviced it (yeah, alright) had moved the rubber grommet to the "EQ Balance" pot which doesn't need one due to it being a closed off pot. Just the handle, screws and rack ears it is then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 There is another similar thread running with some great suggestions there. Equally, an email doesn't take long, and the worst they can say is no 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
