Trace Elliot ELF 200-Watt 1x8 Bass Combo
Trace Elliot · amplifier
The Trace Elliot ELF 200-Watt 1x8 Bass Combo is a compact combo from the ELF line, pairing 200 watts with a single eight-inch driver in a portable format. Trace Elliot is known for articulate, hi-fi bass tone in its larger rigs, and the ELF range condenses that character into gig-bag-sized amplifiers. The small driver trades low-end extension for portability. It suits bassists wanting a genuinely light rig for rehearsal and small venues.
