weepaul Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Bought this amp a while back for a back up off Ebay,used the odd time in practice and gigged once. I believe these were built by Markbass in the mid/late 90's. Good amp,just prefer my Trace so was just wondering if there was any interest ? I could put pics up if anyones interested. Mite trade for another Trace, so ,what do you think ? Oh,yeah, theres reviews at Harmony Central. Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'd be interested in seeing pics and hearing a bit more about it - don't think I've come across one of these before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fede162162 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Markbass copied this head to make the P501 head.(100% copy,inside and outside). i´ve only tried the markbass p501, and i can affirm that it's a very good head. what i liked most was the Pre amp on the head using the DI. very smooth sound. compared with the last markbass, it has a sweeter sound,that i prefer, but less volume. if you don´t bother with the weight, between a little mark 2 and a p501(and the mm hd500 aswell) i´d choose the p501. less gain but sweeter sound.
