Markbass TTE 500 Randy Jackson tube bass head £420 (Colchester/Braintree, Essex) £420 Earls Colne, near Colchester, Essex

Hi all. Selling my fantastic and HUGE sounding MB Randy Jackson TTE500 head. This thing - especially in conjunction with my Markbass cabs - is exceptionally powerful and sounds so great I pretty much never adjust anything.

I've had it for a few years now and it's had light gigging but always cared for. In 2017 I spent £300 on a new power supply/power amp which was fitted and tested by Witham Amp Repairs with parts bought directly from Mark Bass. 

 

The only very minor issue is that on the left hand metallic safety bar, the bottom screw has become unscrewed and it's fallen into the amp so the bar isn't fully attached. I didn't feel like opening up the amp (I leave things like that to bigger boys!) so you can hear/see the screw but it's literally no issue (and probably fixable). I've put a picture of it there but I'm happy to do a video call showing it if necessary. 

 

It comes in a bag I bought online somewhere that I pad out with a couple of bits of foam or something. Looking for £420 please. 

 

Collections from near Colchester, Essex (CO6 2PA) but I am on the road with gigs so might be coming to your area!

Thanks. It’s wonderful - it’s just that most of my gigs now are silent stage on IEMs (or at most a small combo) so it’s just not getting used and that’s a real shame.

Awesome amps.

I’d love this amp but this is exactly my position - I’ve ended up spending £500 on high end tube preamp/DI instead, and for the odd gig I get where I need an amp I’ve got I can’t justify it 😢 That rig above with the amp & the MB 4x10 must sound absolutely amazing 🤩

Yeah, I’ve used it with front ported MB 4x10 and 4ohm 2x10 and it’s huuuuge!
