Trace Elliot shut down by Gibson


I saw it at M.F. today 03.30.2002.

"As the doors close on Trace Elliot's UK facility........."

Any U.K. brethren who can shed some light on this? Trace stuff sells, both guitar &amp; bass amps, so why is gibson doing this to them? Perhaps to move them to the states?

Friggin pathetic.......gibson strikes again....

There was talk of this a while ago inthe UK guitar press. I think they're maybe moving production to the US and possibly re-badging the whole range as they did with a couple of Trace's amps awhile back.

They f'd up Tobias real good too. You'd think they'd stop somewhere.

Jono...I was afraid of that. The way they changed the Vellocette line was an indicator that they might do this.
If they bring them to the states, they'll die a slow death if gibson doesn't do something about the ridiculous prices they put on "gibson-ized" products.

Jeffrey...my fears/sentiments exactly. Makes one wonder if the procured company doesn't cooperate with the big G then they get TOBIASed!?!?

I'm happy regardless. I copped a brand new Speed Twin 50-watt head &amp; 2-4x12s within the last year &amp; I have a 100w head on the way. :-)

Trace fans can only hope for the best........(sigh)
