tonewheelkev Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) [size=4][font="Comic Sans MS"]Acquired these two around 18 months ago, for use in an ELP tribute band, and never got around to using 'em. The story......and there's ALWAYS a story.......is that this setup travelled the world with 'The Kinks', ...must have been mid 80's through 90's...? On return to UK, was stolen...then recovered, and hung around in store until I got it. [u]If anyone out there can help confirm (....or refute) this, then please let me know!![/u] A substantial...and HEAVY....piece of kit, I have renovated/cleaned all contacts.....and by cracky....it sounds magnificent!! Oh....and have built it into a sturdy covered ply sleeve, as can be seen. Have the feeling that it is a very early model.....due to low handwritten serial numbers, and construction. Hoping that someone out there can tell me more.....??

Trace_n_bass Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It defintely pre-MkV, so that makes it earlier than 1987. In terms of value the older Trace gear though never gets that much, unless you can find a collector or serious Kinks fan! On ebay you might get around £250-300 for the pair.

Rich Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Wow, that's a golden oldie... from the days when you could listen to two notes blindfolded and say "yup, that's a Trace..." An oldie but v.goodie. I'd have thought a diehard Mark King fan would snap it up in seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Wow! Thats some old Trace gear! Looks like a MkIII or IV - as noted by Trace N Bass, older than the popular MkV range (which was imho the best range they did). Trace used to write the serial numbers on their gear - my MkV rig was covered in pen! The person to contact would be Jim Rodford who played with The Kinks - I might be able to contact him through a mate of mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
