I know there's been a lot of buzz about these heads, and I ran into this one a few months ago from a local TBer. It's a great amp, solidly-built and dependable as a bill on your birthday. Sounds full and tight, plenty of EQ options, even without lots of sizzly upper-bandwidths to adjust (parametric eq goes as high as 1200 Hz); the DI goes silently to FOH- to the happy relief of sound-people, and it's made of the heaviest-gauge steel I've ever seen on a chassis. That "tank" word comes to mind.
Lots of testimony, opinion, and all kinds of info on it are here on TB, do the Search thing... also BGRA.net has a couple glowing reviews on it.
The power switch doesn't work. I have been turning it on by plugging it in. This is as noiseless a power-on as I've heard from any amp in recent memory- it's as good as silent. My Trace 250SMX makes way more sound when I turn it on. I bought it in this condition and have seen no pressing need to fix it.
Still, I really am happy with my 2 Trace heads, so I'm turning this into the battle-axe I just bought and is coming in any day now! I'd like to see the $300 I paid for it, plus shipping to your locale fromn 02917. I have schematics and a manual for it on .pdf, which I'll of course send along. I'll send it to you anyway for the asking.
Trades could be interesting, which I'm kind of afraid of! Cash would be great, and a US postal money order would be best. No paypal, please and thank you!
Here's a visual, click on the pic for a 'slideshow'! 
Thanks for looking in.

I'll split the shipping within the 48.

I got an AMP, and you don't have it.
If you've got the cash,
or some goods in your stash,
well you won't be sorry a bit!
I can do this 'till the cows come home, are fed, milked and made into your next 4th of July cookout...

It only gets worse, people...
Seriously, great amp I'm not using here. Willing to do (partial, +) trades:
USB interface;
15" speakers for bass cab;
1x 15 or 4x10 Trace cab, Joe's TL-606, similar (with speaker!); Interesting low-cost bass; Intruiging pedals...
...you know...

| | Swamp Yankee | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Smithfield, RI | | | Still have this amp. Probably going soon, may swap for a nicely parted-together P-bass. But, long as it's still in my house, here's a Bump...
BUMP!
