The thing that puts me off is the damn 2x15 cab. In order to get that I'd have to do a roadtrip, from here to Harwich by car, from Harwich to Crookshaven (excuse my spelling) by ferry, from there to Hamburg by car and then all the way back again. And that discounts the 170km journey my friends would have to make from Hamburg to Wolfsburg and then back again. If it was just the head I wouldn't hesitate, I could get it shipped from Hamburg no problem. I'll see what happens...

???. Tell him to keep the cab or toss it in the nearest levy & just worry about the V-8, that's my plan...

PS: Hurry, I'm working on grabbing it now...

Lol, I have a feeling you'd outbid me, I'm still fairly tight for cash atm, if you want to go for it, by all means go ahead.

If you weren't a kettle, and I weren't a pot, I'd be tempted to accuse you of hording!
LMAO!

Yeah I saw those badges, wasn't sure what to make of them really, was wondering where he got them and where the amps they belong to areDEVILMAN said:
.just a little technical question. I've got an TE GP7 130SM 15" combo. does the head in it handle a 2x10" extension cab if i would want to upgrade?
Here's myself, the V8 & my beautiful G&L, in action with my band ASHVILLE. Link Removed

As far as I know all Trace SS heads could handle a 4 ohm load and all combos had an imedenance of 8 ohms. So to answer your question, yes!Deletion said:

well, at the moment, no one outbids anyone else. with a good day left, still no bids. and: it's a good three hour drive from my place. thing is, i don't need it. i live in a not very big room, and there already is a halfstack (trace v-type) on top of my fridge. there's no way i'm gonna play gigs in the near future, and it's not likely i'll play gigs so big i can't play them with my v4 EVER. but it's a V8! the most awesomest of all... and it might turn out to be a bargain. decisions decisions...

Get it!
I play gigs with my V8 all the time. Sometimes I put it on half power so that it distorts more easily... heavenly tones.

I emailed the seller, seems that isn't an option. He only wants to sell the two together.
I wish all of you good luck with this, I'm outta the race.

Just tell the seller to chuck it in the bin and you'll take the amp! Or tell whoever is picking it up/couriering it to dump it a few houses down on the curb! Heheh.
1 day, 1 hour and no bids. Problem is if I go for it it'll be a few weeks before I can make it to Germany to pick it up 
.
.I'd need to get it shipped, no other way for me to get it. I live an 8-9 hour drive away and there's no way I'm gonna be able to make a 2 day trip in the next month. I already told the seller that I don't care what he does with the box(I suggested he could donate it to a Youth Band Organization) but he insisted on the two being picked up together. Oh well, it would have been too nice anyways. There's a V4 for sale as well that I might buy to get over loosing the V8.
after thinking it through for a while, i think i just can't let it go unsold... so, if there seems to be no buyer tomorrow, i'll take it. it's a though job, but somebody's gotta do it... 
i already arranged a car, and i think i'll just sell the cab to pay for the fuel and the 'sicherungshalter' that seem to fail.
if it's working alright, there's probably a v-type for sale in the next few months

8-9 hour drive ... 2 days?? why not just do it in one stint? 
Oh wait, i think i remember hearing something about Europeans not liking long drives...

True, I hate long drives. Also, since I'd travel almost the length of my country I'd use it as an excuse to see some friends along the way so it would become at least a 2 day trip.
Dude, it's October Fest now there! If it was me, I'd make a niiiiiiice trip out of it...

PS: How could it get better than a V-8 for that price & some of the best bier in the world!!!
