For sale (no trades). Now discontinued. Markbass dual channel 500W bass head, inc Carry case / bag. I'm a fan of Markbass gear, and this head is really superb! The 2 input channels are separately EQ'ed and controlled - which is useful. Also, each channel has 6 individual preloaded amp tones. It's also possible to mix the sound of both channels, for real flexibility. It's in mint condition, as it has lived in the padded carry case since I bought it. It hasn't been over-used or abused and is a really reliable head which is great for all genres. I even used it for upright, and doubling up with bass guitar. I'm only selling now, as I got a brilliant Stanley Clarke Acoustic pedal, which also has 2 channels, so this is no longer being used. It's just too good to keep in a cupboard. The carry case / bag is also in good condition, and is really well padded - protecting the head well. It's simple to use, as the head stays in the bag while gigging (the fan is at the rear). It has a large pocket on the front / top - which you can fit several leads into. It also has the option of a carry-handle or shoulder straps. The case itself cost around £60. My one criticism of the head, is that it would be even better if the panel was illuminated... but my small clip-on light did the job. As ever, I prefer collection with expensive items - and I like to know the buyer is happy with the sound. Based in Barry, South Wales, and you're welcome to have a tea or coffee whilst giving the amp a whirl. I can post, at a push - if the buyer arranges a courier. (I'd prefer to insure).

Some more photos of this lovely little U-bass, which I can't believe hasn't sold!

I've not seen one of these "in the flesh" so to speak. They look a bit like the Japan made "Lyte" basses. Are they similar weight - i.e. around 3.5 kg?

I had one of these (and still have the Fiesta Red version). They honestly are awesome quality, and sound & play superbly. The newer Indonesian CV's are great too - but these are even better. There are times I think I should have kept mine.... but I still have too many. A common "problem", I know 😉 I don't know the seller - but I know these basses are superb. GLWTS

Ooh, I need to thin the collection. Ooh, I don't need another bass. Ooh, I don't really need a Jazz bass..... But Ooh, Ooh, this is just lovely. Sigh 😉
