MGR/TJ « Trace Elliot Boxer 65 »
Published on 12/06/08 at 15:00This just a small box with a 12" speaker. Volume, Treble, Bass, Mid (with mid-shift button)and Master volume. I play jazz, R&B, Light rock, etc. I use a 5-string passive jazz bass mostly with this amp. I have a 500-watt Trace combo for gigs and this one is for lessons and small gigs.
I bought this used from a music store for 150.00 and feel like that was a reasonable price for the quality.
This amp has good tone and it is very typical Trace tone. Because of the small cab size, it is not going to get tremendous bass response and it doesn't have a built in compressor, but I still like the tone very much. I really only use this for practice and lessons but I think it would be loud enough for small gigs and rehearsals in a non volume intensive situation. If you try to use it in a loud band, of course you'll be dissapointed but that's not the amps fault.
It could be a little lighter for my purposes. If it had a line out, it would be more useful.
I think it is good build quality. Definitely more solid than some of the practice-level bass combos out there.
It is a good amp to own for certain applications. It has good tone and is fairly loud. I happen to love the tone of Trace amps, so I like the tone of this one.
