£495 Trace Elliot Twin Valve all valve 115 combo - *SOLD* £595 Leyland Lancashire

[la bam]

Trace elliot twin valve 115 combo. 

 

What a beauty this is. 

 

Valve pre and 2 valve output rated at 115w.

 

Its LOUD. It's ALL VALVE. It's amazing. 

 

The gp7 preamp sounds wonderful, and it has a few things over similar all valve heads....

 

The mid shift button really add some punch and depth in a good way. However the comprehensive eq means you really can dial in any sound you like. From deep deep dub to harmonically rich all valve sound. 

 

It also has a speaker out for adding an extension cab (if your crazy enough to use one). 

 

This is in amazing condition. It's around 35 years old at a guess. I've given it a thorough clean and it just looks fantastic. 

 

So, why this over any other? Well, it's a combo. A very well matched one. It's loud. It's trace watts, but trace valve watts it has room to add another cab. It's probably the same weight as just another valve head will weigh in at, and it fits in your car very easily. And the entire combo is cheaper than similar heads on their own. 

 

No doubt at all it's a collectors item too. Very few around, and even fewer in this condition. I've had the ashdown ctm300, the Laney nexus 400 and bugera svt and this is far better than those. 

 

Its guts me to put this up for sale, but I've also my gp12 410 combo up for sale so it's a case of what sells first. Nso if you do want it (and why wouldn't you) you'll need to be quick. 

 

Collectors item. Unbelievable sound. Good price. You'll not get many chances to get one of these. 

 

Pick up Leyland Lancashire

That's not an amp, that's a work of art.

That is glorious... I am both sad and relieved that you are far away. Someone is getting a fantastic bit of kit there.

Just checked the map and you're only 4 1/2 hours away from me.

Funny how close that seems when there's a Trace Elliot at the end of the journey.

I'm a LOT closer than that - doesn't make this easy at all!

Like busses these. You are local to me and one came up the other week almost as local.  Only thing that stopped me was my back

They really aren't that bad at all. The handles take most of the weight. Nice compact box shape so not a bad lift at all. A small trolley from b&q for £20 would save any lifting at all

Far more ergonomic than my SVT head, given the size and shape. And yes I never gig without my trolley anyway so the weight isn't such an issue

Will take £495 for a quick sale. 

[la bam]

£450? Madness for something this quality and collectable. 

 

Reduced to £450.

Same everywhere. That's the only reason I'm selling unfortunately.. 

 

Tis a gorgeous amp though if you manage to get enough together.. . 

[Shaggy]

I had the head as my gigging amp for several years - my favourite ever amp for fretless, it's more about the smooth and warm but crystal clear and harmonic-rich tone than overdrive.

 

Technically I think not all-valve as the EQ section is SS, but that's pure pedantry

 

If this were closer I don't think I could resist.......

Could possibly look at having it dropped off for fuel costs if anyone is really interested.

It’s a shame that such high quality gear is so undervalued these days, I guess it’s the combination of fewer gigs, and a greater percentage of bassists that do gig either using PA or seemingly obsessed with lightweight gear that all too often simply doesn’t have it. Bass gear shouldn’t be heard, it should be felt, and that’s a combo that knows how to be felt. Anyone out there never tried a classic all-tube rig, now’s your chance to do it for a fraction of what it’s worth 👍
