Members Bedbug Eddie Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I've been hankering for a new TE bass amp head to match the TE cabs that I have had for a long while. I know Gibson USA bought TE....anyone give me some advice here please? Should I look EBay or elsewhere for pre-Gibson or buy new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceGhost Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 Peavey is now distributing Trace Elliot so buying new isn't much of a gamble anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 There never really were Gibson TE. They bought the brand, sold leftovers and lost interest. Then Peavey took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 The Peavey Trace amps in production now are really nice. The 12-band models are exceptionally nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Filobassman Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I own this beast It's supposedly from the Gibson era but it was built in the UK and it absolutely kicks ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueyedmule Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 Weird, weird, weird. . ..I haven't kept up on all the machinations of Trace. I have the little 130 amp, sounds quite nice when it's bridged. Distinct sound. Mine's pre-buyout as well, bought used around '93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
