TC Electronic classic 450 bass amp. £160 posted - *SOLD* £160 Machynlleth

[Jo.gwillim]

I bought this amp very shortly after they first came out. It got gigged for a couple of years before I moved on the GK amps. 450W (800 peak) into 4 ohms. 4 way tone control plus built in compressor and valve emulator which is very good. Pots all work well.  They're built like tanks with a very sturdy anodised aluminium frame. As you can see there's a lot of marks on the top surface where I'd stuck some electrical tape to write on current pot settings as a reminder. The adhesive reacted with the anodising it looks a bit rough but its only cosmetic.   You don't see many of them for sale so its hard to gauge the price. About £220 on ebay posted so given the very "used" appearance I'm asking £160 posted. I hope the screen shot of the spec page from the manual and the photos give enough information. Let me know if you need more and I'll do my best.

I don't remember how much these sold for originally, but this feels like a frickin' steal at £160 - GLWTS!

Thanks mate, I think it was in the £650 bracket, a lot more than current TC electronic prices for the equivalent. I'll be happy if it gets used and if someone can sell it on for a few bob more good luck to them!

Incredible amount of amp for next to no money. I'm only holding back because I have too many amps already and I don't want to be greedy.

With the tube tone and spectra comp built in, this should be a no brainer.

Yes the thing with amps is they don't take up too much room so they can quietly sit on the shelf for many years unnoticed. That's what's happened with this amp. Cunning!
