Dood Posted October 24, 2010 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.
Platypus Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Thats a givaway price alright! Don't expect it to around for long....
LukeFRC Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 shame you don't want a not quite so compact Hughes and Kettner head

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.
Dood Posted October 24, 2010 Author 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!

MB1 Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 MB1. Shame about the little mark on your bottom? Fnarr Fnarr! Heard one of these live Just recently...Sounded Great! BUMP!
Dood Posted October 28, 2010 Author 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?
bassfan Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Have a Bump on me.. I literally bought one of these last week before you put yours up for sale.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Great price for some great kit!

Well, early days I guess - but yeah, I'm after a MarkBass F1 or poss F500 as a trade + cash.
whynot Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Don't do it Dan. Hold onto it till I decide I need to get another.

I had a similar problem when i bought an RH450, but after a bit of "fannying" arouind, I love it.

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
