weepaul Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Bought this amp a while back for a back up off Ebay,used the odd time in practice and gigged once. I believe these were built by Markbass in the mid/late 90's. Good amp,just prefer my Trace so was just wondering if there was any interest ? I could put pics up if anyones interested. Mite trade for another Trace, so ,what do you think ? Oh,yeah, theres reviews at Harmony Central. Cheers, Paul.
Dubs Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'd be interested in seeing pics and hearing a bit more about it - don't think I've come across one of these before.
fede162162 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Markbass copied this head to make the P501 head.(100% copy,inside and outside). i´ve only tried the markbass p501, and i can affirm that it's a very good head. what i liked most was the Pre amp on the head using the DI. very smooth sound. compared with the last markbass, it has a sweeter sound,that i prefer, but less volume. if you don´t bother with the weight, between a little mark 2 and a p501(and the mm hd500 aswell) i´d choose the p501. less gain but sweeter sound.
nottswarwick Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I had a p501. It was a beaut. Sold it. Wish I still had it.
Owen Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I tried one of these when they first came out. It is very fine.
scottblessed Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) what would be your ball park figure? is this the head that is suitable for guitar and bass? Edited January 23, 2009 by scottblessed
