£50 off!! Trace Elliot Series 6 Compact stack. £350 Suffolk UK

[Sparky Mark]

Now asking for £300. Very good condition Trace Elliot Series 6 GP12 AH200 head and Classic compact 1153 ported single 15" cabinet, equipped with the brilliantly articulate Fane Axiom driver. 

Everything works exactly as it should and delivers the classic Trace Elliot tones in a lightweight (by TE standards) package. Also does just about every modern tone with its extremely flexible twelve band graphic equalizer section.

This would also make a great studio set up due to no cooling fan background noise.

£300 collected from Bury St Edmunds or localish meet up, including Roqsolid covers, Jack to XLR Klotz speaker cable and mains lead.

Thanks for looking.

Ah, the 1153. I have very fond memories of my old TE kit.

Oh that’s a gorgeous rig. Can’t remember the last time I saw one of the shallower 1x15 cabs, let alone one up for sale. 😍

Cheers. Rare indeed; in fact it took me a couple of years constant searching to find that version of the cab loaded with a Fane 15 driver to match with my Series 6 1215 combo.

IMO the series 6 is Trace Elliot at its best...gear didn't get better it just got lighter.

Agreed Mick,

Whilst the SMX series added some useful bells and whistles such as compression and a blendable valve/solid state preamp, the Series 6 has a certain immediate clarity with clout never bettered by Trace Elliot.

I recently bought a vintage Trace head from @King Tut and though not exactly the same series as this one, I'm amazed at how good it sounds, and how much 'clout' it has to borrow your word @Sparky Mark. 

 

Based on that, this amp must sound fantastic, especially with the matching cabinet!

 

As Mick said, "... gear didn't get better it just got lighter."

 

GLWTS 👍😊

Cheers. It's not just because I'm selling one of my Trace heads that I'm saying this, but there is a certain quality/characteristic these possess that everyone should hear to understand what the fuss is about. This particular rig is exceptional in my opinion because of its relative low weight and silent (no fan) operation.

 

*I wrote "clout" as I believe "heft" has been banned.

Yep, you can't say 'h#%t' on here anymore, otherwise the H#%t Police will come round quicker than you can say vintage 90s British Bass Goodness...
