Ampeg Portaflex Series PF500 Bass Amplifier

 

For sale is my Ampeg Portaflex Series PF-500 that has been my backup amp for a few years.  There are few minor scuffs on the case as I hope the pictures illustrate however there are superficial and the amp is in full working order delivering the Ampeg tone on demand.

Here is some information from the web and the specs for the amp:

Now that we are allowed to move about to a degree I’d much prefer to meet up somewhere in person to exchange the amp with suitable social distancing.  If you are not too far away delivery to you in exchange for some petrol money would be ideal rather than send my courier.  If you are a bit further away then I’d be happy to meet up somewhere halfway too.

 

If none of this is possible then a courier would be the last resort and would be for you to organise.  I will be very flexible with your collection arrangements as I am working from home all the while.

These always crop up when I'm either skint or sorted for heads! This time, the latter  unfortunately. Won't stop me thinking about it and formulating a reason why I need it though! 😂

What's also cool about these amps is that they have an effects blend knob if you run them via the send/return loop.
