Thanks Armando. I am a big fan of Markbass heads from this era and own several including two SA450, a TA503 as well as a LM3 and many markbass cabs and combos so you can be assured I am not a time waster. I guess I just don't understand how you can describe an amplifier that is several years old as new ( the condition can be described 'as new') and offer a warranty unless you are an authorised Markbass dealer? All the same, I wish you good luck with your sale.
