SOLD: Markbass TTE500 Randy Jackson Signature Amp £850

[franzbassist]

Original Made in Italy model, 500 watts at 4 ohms and 300 watts at 8 ohms. Valve driven preamp, compressor, eq and "colour" sections. Original Bang and Olufsen [u]analogue[/u] power supply. Comes with Roqsolid cover and the official Markbass bag. Excellent condition. The logo plate has come off but I can supply decent double sided tape to stick it back on.

A superb head. Ridiculously loud. Its core tone is clean and warm, and the dare I say "heft" from the valves and B&O power supply is a thing of beauty

Thanks for that. Yes, terrific head, I've just seen something I really fancy though, so up it goes (when will I learn!)

We're all the same pal. It's a disease!!!

I was a little on the fence with mine, I thought It was lacking something, until I ran BOTH my cabs. It's a really great sounding amp, I think I would struggle to justify getting rid of it!

[Damonjames]

Just seen the roqsolid, would you consider selling it???

Some interest but nothing definite yet.

The amp will be supplied with high grade Ruby valves, plus a JJ in the compressor slot. I can upgrade to a full set of JJs for another £30.

I can also supply high quality Brimar and Mullard valves for the V1 position for additional cost.
