Retroglide Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi english mates! I want to purchase a Trace Elliot stack and i would like to know if it´s Gibson or Pre-Gibson. I have the serial numbers. HEAD:AH300 SMC GP7 With 7 band EQ S/N: T0422/141/198 CABINET 1:Model 1153T 2x10" with twitter S/N: T0250/04989 CABINET 2:Model 2103H 1x15" S/N: T0255-03647-292 Some photos here: (Bajistas.org Spanish bass players forum) [url="http://www.bajistas.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4198"]http://www.bajistas.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4198[/url] The owner purchased it in 2004 but he doesn´t know if it´s pre-Gibson because the amp was in the shop for years. Thank you very much and excuse my poor english (i´m spanish) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think the SMC range was Gibson era and I'm pretty sure the 1153T is too. My one didn;t have the T at the end Is it green carpet or black vinyl covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 None of it gibson, the smc you have is just pre-gibson (tho it was a model during the gibson years too) and the two cabs are older than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroglide Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 So it´s all pre-Gibson...OK! thanks for reply and clarify my doubts. Greetings from Spain mates! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Pre-Gibson, but still naff build quality. Flying Pig used to turn them out cheap. The quality went to pot right after Series 6. Basic rule: if it is carpeted, it is downgraded. Be ready for repairs/death. If you want some of the good/best Trace, let me know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 bollocks. I've only ever owned carpeted trace except for the v type combo and it was/is bombproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
