I guess this will only interest about 5 people here, but Gibson must have got rid of Trace Elliot, because they have new amps. And they look purty too. I think they are based in the UK again!
Every bass player here should be excited and happy. And everyone who dislikes america should be happy too.

As an aside you should try Ashdown, the same guy who started Trace, totally different sound but fair whups the Trace gear. Less hifi more Bass like...

I know some one at Gibson who knew ! .. but Henry's people didn't listen, hence the sale went through, without him knowing, it was brought by Cliff who owns orange Amps. It's a long story and one I won't go into .. I'm not even too sure if Cliff owns it now or not .. I know cliff knows the guys at Peavey but not sure if he sold it to them ..
