Musicman20 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) 400W Trace Elliot Bass Amp Head. Lots of features, 12 Band EQ. Very crisp loud bass tone. Classic Trace sound with ooomph and growl, but can sound fully clean as well. Head is mounted in original Trace green/black carpet covering. Very strong handles on the side. The classic Trace light at the bottom works 100%, and looks a beast onstage as it is that kind of UV lightbulb that orginally came with it. This can be turned off if you dont want it on. 400W @ 4Ohms, about 280 @ 8 Ohms. Loads of options for effects-loops if you dig effects. Line outs, tuner out, pre-shapes, on board compression. Pretty damn pro overall. Genuine sale as it does not get used and needs a new home. Its pre-Gibson, its probably around 8 years old. Ive had it from new. No problems at all, ever. Never let me down. Very very good condition, very very loud! Comes complete with original power cord, original instructions. £370 ONO I can either meet up halfway, (if you can help with petty) post it, you can pick it up here where I live near Cleethorpes (about an hour from Doncaster/Sheffield), or I can meet you in Leeds as Im always at Law School there. (Sorry for crap pics, had to do it on the mobile in a rush!) Edited April 17, 2009 by Musicman20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 SMX is definitely pre-Gibson, but also means it's older than 8yrs I'm afraid - at least 10, probably more like 13 or 14. Pics and a guide price always good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hmmm...not sure...its a fairly old design but it sure is lovely bright and tight bass. Only selling as won't be needing it so much soon. The 12 band EQ is brilliant as are the pre-shapes. Ill get some pics up soon. Yeah I got it when I was 17-18, so you are right more like 10 years now. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 LOL i know.. I didnt pay the full retail....no one ever does.... Just stating the listed old price. Id like to get a fair amount for it...esp with its condition. Nowhere nr a grand though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ok...roughly £400 ono....because of the actual condition. Might be a little steep but thats due to it looking new. Ill take offers though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwater#1 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Absolutely phenomenal head this! I love mine to bits, just heavy! Around £400 is a great price, I paid pretty much that for mine. Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks! Im half tempted to keep it as a back up with how reliable it is for when i get my tube head...not sure which im getting yet! Believe me this thing sound like an bass explosion through my Ampeg 810e. Ill go down to £385. UV light looks ***ing cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 True! Pics going up tonight This works 100%, still has original manual and power lead. Nothing needs replacing or cleaning up. Excellent condition. Ive had a few offers. I can post if needs be....I would have to get a quote. Failing that, Im in Leeds a lot if that helps people to meet up and see it. Id like £380, closest to that gets it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
