Sold thanks. Markbass TTE 500 Randy Jackson Italian made. Roqsolid cover, immaculate. £510

[karlfer]

July 2014, one of the last Italian ones produced.
Excellent, pretty much immaculate, condition with original box and Roqsolid cover. I am the only owner.
This amp is loud. Oh so very loud.
These (Italian) actually sold at £800 but now the Indonesian ones can be picked up for £570.
No doubt the Indonesian ones will come up around the £400/£450 used.
Specifications http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=183
I need £510 collected, or £530 including Roqsolid cover and UK delivery.
Only trade would be an absolutely immaculate PUMA 900 with bag.
I am simply going back to PUMA as I don't get on with valves. Just seem to be forever fiddling with EQ/Colour.
With PUMA, I just set everything and left it.
Any trial in Wigan, feedback at bottom of post,
cheers,
Karl.

I gig one of these and have just paired its with a 212 cab. Serious volume on tap and a great tone with my passive P and J. For me the TTE/212 is a keeper!

Have a bump fella 😀

Cheers krispn, not gonna bust a gut to sell this one, it is a bit good

Thank you MB1
Response to you first below. I was asked if this was analogue or digital, the questioner not being wholly convinced of Markbass's accuracy on their website.
Hopefully the second photo will help with that question. Appears to be silver objects behind each vent.
Best I can do without opening it up, which sadly, with it being immaculate I'm not going to do.
My hamfisted destroy it knack is legendary in Wigan

Randy, warm and still got her top on!

You don't half get serious GAS Karl.
I didn't think you would part with this one.
At this price and knowing your gear is always in tip top condition this is one serious bargain.
If buying from Karl you will not be disappointed.
Genuine, honest guy who makes a damn good coffee

All the very best and GLWTS.
Dave

[karlfer]

Thanks Martin and Dave.
On hold thank you.

If I may Karl.....

These used, certainly in their initial build on the Italian models, analogue power modules from Bang&Olufsun which were later changed. I'm not sure which power modules they are using since changing production to the Far East. I'm sure others can shed more info

Yeah, Markbass eh , great gear, not so much with communications.

Anyway, the 500 uses the analogue, the 800 uses the digital. Presumably to get the last 3db out of it.

This is one of the very last to come out of the Italian factory, so not subject to any spec change from the original.

[karlfer]

Couple of other folk wanting to do a deal on this head, but it's on hold for cash sale until Sunday thanks.
Cheers,
Karl.

EDIT. That's spooky, matron has vanished from post #5

If i hadn't recently bought back my Tech SS TVM600 I'd be very tempted.
