Do I need to pay postage?? -
Hi Guys, only two weeks old & never gigged! As you probably know - these are very similar to the more expensive Red Sub Combo & even more expensive Ibanez Promethean. In brand spanking new condition complete with original box, manual, etc. This tiny, lightweight combo pushes out 250w through the internal 1 x 10 speaker & 500w if you add an extention cab. But the really neat thing is that by undoing the two thumb screws each side - the head slides out & 'boomshaka' you have as good a Class D 500w amp as I've heard, or owned! It even has a little leg that screws in the front of the cab to tilt it back. Only for sale due an unfortunate change of circumstance, last blinking night - umph!! Please feel free to come & have a try out - I'm 'still' 5 minutes away from Junction 15 of the dear old M6 - where it starts to get 'a bit cobbly'. £225 firm - cash on collection please, or buyer pays postage - ta!

Wow, wow & thrice wow!! Pete is a Great Guy & is an absolute pleasure to deal with - deal with confidence Guys, you can't go wrong!! Thanks again Pete, All the best, Tim

Sent an 'Al have it' PM !! -
What a great Guy Tom is! Very knowledgable & helpful - especially to us older 'less aware' types!! So glad the best amp I ever had went to a good home - thanks again Tom. All the best, Tim

Yep - I think the power & to a certain extent the tone is obviousley constricted by the miniscule dimensions of the cab, so can't I wait to 'unleash the beast' & drive some bigger cabs with it, but if you don't need a lot of volume it seems pretty good with just an extension cab to me?? Also - just thought I'd mention that due to the quietness of this unit it would probably be blinking fab in the studio??

Hi Guys, My Harley Benton 500w into 4ohm & 250w into 8ohm Combo arrived this morning - from Thomann - vor sprung etc - very quick hassle free delivery & first impressions are very good! Looks the same as the Red Sub - but is all black, which suits an old codger like me!! Unusually quiet when in operation - which is a surprise - as all the other 'budget' gear I've had over the years has tended to 'snap, crackle & pop' a bit in operation. It is really well put together & sounds very good - providing volume in abundance from such a tiny unit. Due to the extremely low price, maybe it's not as Hi-Fi or 'boutique' as it's 'very' expensive competitors - but you wouldn't expect it to be - would you?? The internal 8ohm, 250w speaker is fed from the jack socket on the back of the amp, which leaves the speakon free to connect to an 8ohm extention cab - thus providing the full 500w from the amp. Not a great deal more to add, apart from the sound is very focused - with a bias towards mids, rather than thunderous bass, but again it's only a very small 1 x 10 unit & the amp is as loud as heck + all controls work well & the bonus of being able to detach the amp from the combo & use it as a 'stand alone' Class D amp is a great idea! It even has a little leg that screws in to the base of the unit to tilt it back - so I'm thinking it would be cracking as an on stage bass monitor?? Please don't dash out & buy one just on my recommendation & on the judgement of my very old cloth ears - but if you get the chance to try one 'please' do, as in my very humble opinion I have never got more bang for my bucks during the past 40 years - honest injun!! Seems to be a bargain at £234.45 - delivered, from Germany in under 3 days - but then again, what do I know?? ps - I've just tried it with my Yamaha 1 x 10 as an extention cab & the walls are shaking - blinking heck!!

Sat-dee bumperoony!! -
All PM's replied to - ta !!

Can't recommend these enough - they do everything a Precision can + the growl of the Jazz p/u when needed - one of the few that I really miss - type bump!!
-
May consider a lot cheaper amp in p/x - just in case - type bump !!
-
Lovely Bass - at a sensible price - type bump!

Hi Skez, The 250 has gone, but I still have the Littlemark III 500w jobbie which is brand spanking new apart from being taken out of the box & tried at home! Can't really justify hanging on to it though - especially as I found out yesterday that it looks as the band I dep. with once in a blue moon may be 'no more' !!

Here is my wonderful Jack Bass, from the 80's? in very good condition & everything works! Through maple neck, maple wings, Select EMG Pickups, active/passive switch with LED indicator controls are volume, volume + stacked Bass/Treble when in active mode. Double octave neck etc,etc. Plays really nicely, great range of tones, very light - a smidge under 8lbs (on my very unreliable analogue bathroom scales) & as you are probably aware - seems to stay in tune forever due to the Steinberger licensed tuning system, plus balances really well, with no 'neck dive' due having no headstock. Built like the preverbial tank & will likely be the third thing left after the next ice age or Holocaust along with cockroaches & Boss bedals! In really nice condition with a very few 3 or 4 small marks, which I'm sure would polish out. If you wish to have a good try out - I'm still 5 minutes away from Junction 15, where it starts to get a bit 'cobbly'!! Looking for £225 + postage if necessary please chaps

Hi, I had one of these a year or so ago & couldn't get a warm enough old fashioned sound out of it to suit my 'very' old fashioned cloth ears - sorry.
-
May consider a combo in p/x depending on value - type bump??

Hi Guys, usual sob story - next 'booked' gig is October & therefore as much as I'd like to, I cant really justify keeping this !! Markbass Littlemark III 500w Head - which is brand spanking new, apart from me taking it out of the box, fully testing it at home & has never been gigged. You all know this is the latest MB Littlemark, with pre/post EQ send + signal volume control - the mods that everyone wanted on the original. All the warmth EQ control & power you will probably ever need. Complete with the original box, warranty card & Owners Manual. The lowest on line prices for these new looks like they average around £550, so a firm £395 collected or £420 delivered within the UK mainland?? Voted best all round amp in a recent poll - apparently?? If anyone wants to give the Mark III a good try out before parting with their hard earned - please give me a shout - I'm 'still' 5 minutes from J15 of the M6, where it starts to get a bit 'cobbly'!!

Great Guy, great service - thanks Howard, you are a Gentleman. Thanks again, Tim
-
Hi Guys, Did they ever make a fretless versiion?? Thanks
-
Hi Guys, anyone ever de - fretted one?
-
On hold for a 'Great Guy' - who I'm sure will love it as much as I do!! ps - boo hoo!!
-
Hi, yes it looks like it could be a Maplins case & funnily enough (although I've never tried a WT550 - did that have twin power amps, or is that just the WT800 etc)?? - but this was my most fav. amp of all time too & then some - that David Eden fella has a lot to answer for - umph!!
-
Hi, I don't know what make it is - but I think it's one of those aluminium / plastic camera type cases & it does a blinking fab job, plus it is very light. cheers, Tim
-
Thanks Skez, you are a Gent. In regard to selling the Eden & keeping the LM250 - if I was gigging as much as I used to, then it would be no contest as the Eden is far superior in every way! However, it seems a waste of a such a cracking amp if I'm only gigging a handful of times a year & so I'm hoping I can 'get away with' using the LM + maybe loaning a slave to drive the Bill Fitzmaurice in the unlikely event of a bigger Gig & then the Eden can go to someone who will hopefully use it more often Thanks again for your interest Guys.
-
Thank you and + 1 to that, I know I'll regret letting this go - but it should put an end to my GAS - as I think I've tried everything now - at least twice over & this is definately 'The Daddy' of them all - 'in my humble opinion' of course!
