PRICE DROPPED
The time has come for me to acknowledge that the old pre/power rig is never going to resurface.
I've only used one side of this amp for the past year or two to drive a single 8 ohm subwoofer in the PA for an act I gig with. Not getting used to its potential on bass, so it really ought to go to a home where it can stretch it's legs.
Crown Macrotech 2402. Hands down the best lead sled power amp you can plug into a regular outlet without making breakers immediately blow. Say whatever you like about gain matching, this amp is flat out more authoritative than any of the fly weights. It's big, it's heavy, and it sounds like it. I've never driven it hard because I've never wanted to be deaf. 2070 watts outta this thing will scream like a titan and loosen your bowels for you.
Has two cosmetic issues. A guitard set it on a step perhaps 8 or 10 inches off the ground and it slid forward off that step (it is kinda front heavy in the case). No real damage was done, but the tug bars on the front got bent a touch. Damned good thing they were there too as I went into auto "Oh Crap" mode and tried to catch the amp with my foot. Those tug bars saved me a broken foot. Second issue is a different guitard tried setting it down on the power cord and pushing it back on stage. It created a little cut/knick in the outer wrap, but the cable itself is still fine. No real damage was done to anything but the outer wrap. Rewrap it if it bugs you, never bothered me so I left it as is. Just wanted there to be no surprises.
I'll ship it in a 4 space Gator case. Although I think it is branded "Mars music" on the front, it's a gator case complete with the "GATOR" moniker recessed into the top. I'll also toss in a couple heavy gauge banana plug cables as I won't have any use for them after this amp is gone. From memory it they either 20 or 25 footers.
$800 plus shipping for this behemoth. New they are running $2400 at musicians friend, so that's a substantial discount for some bent rails (plus you get a gator case too!). Paypal is fine, no international deals. Sorry, I've had nothing but hassles there. The sucker isn't light, so shipping will not be completely negligible. Shouldn't be prohibitive either. I'll drive up to an hour and a half to meet someone for a "local" sale. If you are willing to lug the weight for the best power amp to ever come down from the mount, then come and get it. These just don't show up on here.
Possible trades I'd be interested in.
Lightweight high end large'ish cabs. Think epi/berg 410/212's. A 4 ohm EA nl410 would work too, but I've seen neither hide nor hair of that beast. Feel free to run any bass trades by me, but I just picked up a wonderful Chris Larkin so my GAS is satiated on the instrument front for the moment. Any 5+ stringers must be 34" scale and in the vincinity of 19mm to interest me.
All trades will be plus/minus cash as required.
