Trace Elliot RAH350SMX Head (Incl flightcase) SOLD £240 West London

[Piers_Williamson]

Much loved, but played rarely.  Fully serviced by Guitar Aid.  Fan replaced when it got noisy otherwise faultless.  All knobs there and working.  I bought it second hand a least 20 years ago and had flightcase made.  Seriously loud bit of kit (vol knobs in photos show the max I needed to play it!). Serial number clearly legible on back - I think that dates it to either Q4 or April 1993.  Almost vintage!

Is postage an option? London's a bit far for us northerners!

I've bid on a number of these on eBay - always had them snatched away from me at the last.

As you say, serious piece of kit (for not a lot of cash, it must be said). Bargain for somebody.

There never seems to be much good Trace gear located up north. I've been scanning ebay for months now. 

Anyhow if the seller can post I'll have it.

OK, I'm new to the game of couriers etc, but fellow basschatters give me some confidence that I can ship the amp.  Would purchasers be willing to pay the courier cost if I sort it?

Well I would. I can certainly understand not wanting to ship this what with finding a suitable box and packaging etc, and of course the weight. But if you can find suitable packaging and you are happy to do so then I'll take it.

Interparcel.com will give you some shipping options and prices.

I will investigate....and I dig your profile pic!

With it being in a rack case this will be a doddle to ship. Go to the interparcel site, enter the size, weight and destination postcode and they will give you the prices for various options (personally I've never had an issue with UPS but other couriers are available). This will give an approximate idea of the shipping cost so you can quote a price to the potential purchaser. Once you have wrapped it, measure and weigh it again and enter the final details to get your accurate final price.

I would always suggest you try and make life as easy as possible for the couriers e.g. wrap the case in card and tape it up securely but leave one or both of the handles exposed so they can be used when handling. Even put a sign on there saying 'Use Side Handles.' Here's a pic of what I've done in the past with cabs etc. It may seem overkill, but it will help the package arrive safely.

Great amp by the way 👍

Hi. Is this amp still available? Is shipping an option?

Great advice, worth pinning.     I use Interparcel also, and have always found them 100% reliable, plus they insure for musical instruments which some don't.

Top amp too - I have the AH600SMX
