Sign in to disble this ad
So I have a ton of gear and I've decided after I saw "Hoarders" that I need to narrow it done to two rigs and 2 or 3 cabs.
First up is my Trace Elliot V6.
This is a killer head. Period. You will need a great cab to handle this beast. Not to bring up the tube watt vs SS watts debate but this amp is way loader and has more headroom than my kilowatt HeartRock II.
Previous owner put an all new matched sextet of JJ's in the power section and new Trace Elliot 12ax7s in the pre. I had it re-biased and had one of the best mods you can do to these amps... replacing the xlr speaker out with a Speak-on connector. It still has a 1/4" speaker jack as well. This was professionally done and the amp gone over by the famous Lansing tech "Enzo". The amp has a clean bill of health.
With so many amps I've put a max of 10 hours on this amp, so the tubes are "near as new with out you having to put $300 in to it"
It also has the fabled V8 grill (with V6 name plate) that gives it better ventilation and simply looks bad a$$ as well 
It weights in around 57 so this is not for those that have let themselves go or someone that doesn't live by the "I won't sacrifice weight for tone" mantra. This might be a good time to fulfill that "I'm going to get myself back in shape" promise you made 6 New Years ago. The ladies do like the in shape bass player especially with the way the rest of the band looks. (I try to pass the girls on to one of my guitarist) Even us happily married guy's egos don't mind the "Let's get a room" line from the hot girl that's been dancing in front of you all night.
The amp will be shipped FedEx ground inside a wooden crate. I will include a return shipping tag as I need the crate back so I can use it again to ship other heads. I just want to make that clear up front that I need the crate back.
My other hobby involves multi-thousand dollar pinball machines so I don't like to monkey around when shipping, your new amp will arrive well packed with the tubes removed (power tubes are numbered with a diagram) and wrapped and I will "block" the transformers to protect them if the crate is dropped.
For full disclosure: I bought this on TB from a great seller in Canada and I had it shipped to me by air for just under $200.
Firm price of 1400 shipped to the 48. http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1135.jpg http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1136.jpg http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1137.jpg http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1138.jpg http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1130.jpg http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1140.jpg http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...7/DSCF1139.jpg

The head is great the only other thing I would do to it is swap the #1 pre tube.
I like the sound it has I just know it would be even better with a telefunken or something along that line.
Between guitar amps, bass amps, playing, life etc. I just haven't gotten around to tube rolling. |

Do you have any idea what it would cost to send it back to Canada, I'm a hour east of Toronto. Do you have any other Trace Gear that you are considering selling? I like the V-series just wondering if there is a Quatra Valve or Hexa hidden there. Thanks, Dave |

| | and it will work for you, too | | Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: The Winter Wonderland | | Hey Dave, the Free Trade act may apply so you don't have to pay any duties IF you fill out the proper paperwork, I didn't pay any duties coming in from Canada it just cost a lot to have it shipped by air.
I don't have a Quatra or Hexa but I have had/still have a lot of Trace gear and when I got back into playing I remembered the V's tone from back in the day. That combined with many of the better players in the circuit have an SVT and I wanted an equally large-professional sound, but something with a different tone I could call my own.
We opened for a band from out of state the second time I used it live and they came up to me afterword to compliment my sound. That was a room that has it's own system, that comes with a sound guy that has a different idea of how I should sound. He told me he had me turned off in the FOH.
In that place, that's just how I like it. I think it's great to be able to do that when you "have" to |

| | and it will work for you, too | | Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: The Winter Wonderland | | | Nope, I didn't think so. The V8 was a bit more because the xlr is part of the board (Enzo told me that and I think I read it somewhere on TB as well)
I had it done at the same time as the bias and check-up(or whatever it's called) and it was $52 total, parts and labor. I would have done it myself but I've never biased an amp and as it turns out, I think a perspective buyer would rather it done by a Pro than a Joe
At the time I had it done I was going to keep the V6 yet my lower level is filled with pinball machines, amps and cabs. I don't want the TLC hoarding show coming to my house (we are actually making an apartment for a relative on the lower level) so it really turned out to be a great benefit to the next owner.

I can meet a buyer within a couple hours of 48917, yet I would still want the same price because of the time and gas involved. |

No trades at this time as I'm trying to down size my stockpile. |
