Markbass F500

Recommended Posts

Folks - up for sale is my Markbass F500 amp. 4.63lbs of teeny tiny goodness. Bought this last July, so it's just over a year old, with minimal use - I have a Markbass LMK that does everything I need. The F500 was always taken out in a padded case and pampered from day one. It's in great nick, bar for a few scratches on the top panel from a dastardly DBX compressor that should have been racked.

Looking for £595 including next day UK special delivery. I can include the gigbag for another £30. Looks similar to the pic below. Plenty of space in the bag - can fit the F500, 2-3 Boss size pedals, Boss style power supply, two 10ft cables and a 4-way plug board.

Here's the technical guff from Markbass:

[quote name='Gwilym' post='948801' date='Sep 7 2010, 09:00 PM']These are great amps, I'm very happy with mine. Worth noting that the voltage is not switchable though., so this is probably set for 230/240volts ?
Good luck with the sale, someone will be lucky to get it :)[/quote]

Yup, this is the UK/European version, set for 230/240 volts.

And here's something really geeky - Gwilym, Dood and Machinehead, all writing in three consecutive posts above - all joined on three consecutive days!!! How's that for conceptual continuity!!!!!!
