King Tut Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I picked this up as part of a deal on an SMX AH250 head. I don't want the cab so looking to move it on. It's a Trace 1x15 that's been covered in orange vinyl to match the previous owner's Orange head. Allegedly used to belong to Toploader's bass player. A thing of beauty it is not. No horn, two jacks and xlr's on the back. Anyone know which model it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodwind Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I quite like the orange vinyl although I'd like it more If they'd painted over the go faster stripes in black or matching orange. It's most likely a 1518 like one of these - https://reverb.com/au/item/1465491-vintage-trace-elliot-1518-red-stripe-1x15-200w-8-ohm-electric-bass-guitar-speaker-cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if he got $266 for it. Trouble is with this one, the vinyl is all peeling on the back. Not very well done! Thanks for your help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimike Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If that cab were mine, I'd be checking to see if the speaker chassis was a Precision Devices 15. Looks like it could be, from up the pic.Trace used them in the early days, Fabulous, although heavy, speaker, far superior to the standard Celestion.

I know one of the inputs doesn't work so I 'll fix that before I flog it and check the speaker while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Is the original covering underneath still? If not, just patch up the orange, spray the grill where the Trace badge used to be and blacken our the red stripes - it’d look prettier to sell for not too much effort.

Deedee Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Yep, 1518 from the Mk V / Series 6 era I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
