Dood Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi all, I bought an RH450 and footcontroller brand new 4th September 2010 and have decided I prefer the sound of the MarkBass F1 for a lightweight portable rig. I'm therefore putting this one up for sale as I intend to grab an F1 or possibly F500 depending on price. Original boxes, Head, Foot controller, Power cable, MIDI Cable, manuals. No trades (unless it is an F1 + cash.) Price is a give away [b]£650 + shipping [/b] (or free collection). I do need to take some pictures for you so that you can see a line mark on the bottom where I slid the amp out of a rack. There is also a loose foot that I have used a small piece of plastic bag to act as a gasket! (You can't see it at all and does not affect the amplifier's operation!). Ok, Pictures later.. Thanks Please do PM me as I will get an email notification on my phone quicker than popping in to check the thread. Dan {edit for clarity} I'm sorry, I really can not go any lower with the price plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorted for my BIG RIG! It's a Hartke sized monster - but I want something for smaller stuff and the RH450, although absolutely ace at everything, wasn't quite to my taste. If anything the Staccato would have been a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Pictures!!!! [attachment=62121:DSC_0002.JPG] Little mark on the bottom [attachment=62122:DSC_0003.JPG] [attachment=62123:DSC_0005.JPG] [attachment=62125:DSC_0007.JPG] There's a little scratch on the side of the controller too [attachment=62124:DSC_0006.JPG] There a tiny scratch between the 1&2 pedals and another between the 2 & 3 pedals, if you can make them out in the pic!

Dood Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Bit of interest but nothing rock-solid yet. Online prices for the RH450 head are between £829 and £899 plus shipping and you're looking at an additional £150 odd for the foot controller too, so maybe I am being daft for offering it for such a low price and need to rethink?

The Staccato's bass control frequency sweeps lower than the RH450. The RH450 also has a 'valve character roll off' in the top end that the Staccato does not. I prefer that pristine 'new strings' top end. but that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
