longtimefred Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Yup, im gonna take the fall and bad feelings and sell up my amazing Trace Elliot 8x10. THis was the cab that was designed to take the power of the mighty V8 amplifier Trace made and it has served me so well for a good few years with my V4 on top. This cab has had a proper touring and gigging life so has a few vinyl scars over it but the speakers are spot on and are all original (even got trace elliot printed on the cone covers) and has the gorgeous metal plate Trace Elliot badge on the removable grill (which i got offered £50 for just the badge!!). The one thing that i need to fix is the wheels. It landed funny after being wheeled down some stairs and has pushed some of the wood through. Easily fixed with a sheet of checker plate metal across the bottom where the wheels go. I have been totally honest about the condition of it and will take some pictures next time i am at the rehearsal studio. THis is a proper good old 8x10 and these things are getting as rare as gold dust, well worth a purchase if you are a Trace collector!!! PM me for offers. Photos to come ASAP EDIT - or will maybe swap for a David Eden 2x12 as i want 2 of these things!!! Edited August 27, 2009 by longtimefred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimefred Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 anyone gonna make me an offer before this goes on the dreaded ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 probably difficult for people to make an offer as there are not many clues to its value really....perhaps put a rough ballmark figure?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) would take 400 for it.. edit - shall be getting some better pictures today Edited August 9, 2009 by longtimefred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 got some more photos today, as you can see the one photo where the wheel has pushed the wood through the cab. This will be fixed using a sheet of steel covering the whole of the back angled panel at the bottom with the wheels drilled and bolted through that.

longtimefred Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 yeah it breaks my heart to sell it but my little Eden cab just seems to make my band sound better and takes 1 less car to move all the bloody stuff around! lol. Its such a hard time for people to buy stuff, i understand that, i saw one of these originals go for £600 just over a year ago, and now i cant even get half that!!! damn poverty!
