Clarky Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I got this as part of a trade a couple of months back with Happy Jack. Due to new EA amp I am putting this up for sale. Given photo importation problems on BassChat, I will just show an ad here for the amp from DV247 [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gallien-krueger-mb500-bass-guitar-amplifier-head--97438?gclid=CJbGxPz2-bQCFaTMtAodkycACQ"]http://www.dv247.com...CFaTMtAodkycACQ[/url] where you can see its normally £400 (although its not in stock, nor is it in stock at GAK, the other 'cheapie' site - Thomann has them for about £415 as does Gear4Music) Condition: generally good. A few slight scratches on the top, from having things (pedals? tuners? preamp?) sat on it while owned by Happy Jack, plus he had appended some velcro on the top of it (presumably to attach said pedal/tuner/preamp) which can easily be removed. Nothing at all major and nothing visible front on. Functions perfectly How about [s]£315 £305[/s] £280 ncluding UK postage? Specs here: [b] Gallien Krueger MB500 500 Watt Ultra Light Head[/b] This ultra-light, under-4-pound Gallien-Krueger MB500 bass amplifier head is fully equipped with professional features: master and gain, padded input, contour, 4-band active EQ, footswitchable boost, tuning mute, effects loop, isolated DI, Speakon combo outputs, headphone/line out, and 500W of power into 4-ohm loads.

Gareth Hughes Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Stop tempting me with your amps!!!! Seriously tho - part ex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Hi Gareth, the only thing I could really do with is a nice lightweight but high quality 1x12" (EA or Epifani) to go louder with my DB than my Crazy8 (1x8") cab. I have an Acme Low B2 (2x10") which sounds superb but at 50 pounds is too much for my glass back and will be up for sale soon. Don't suppose you want rid of one of your Epifani's?

Gareth Hughes Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Alas no, my Epi's will stay with me til they're modded into my casket. (Speakers pointed inward, iPod on shuffle til the battery runs out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomBass Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I do like these very much. I have to ask though, what is a "dedicated thomann volume control contour control"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Maybe something by One Direction would be more apt? Sorry for the derail - back to the sale!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Forgot to add, this comes with the footswitch, which has velcro underneath. Now I know why Jack put some velcro on top of the amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
