Here's a Yamaha BBT500H head in near mint condition. It's less than 6 months old and has never left the house. There's not a mark on it and it's never been pushed. The only reason I'm not listing it as MINT is that the LED for the "Flat" preset doesn't light up. The preset works just fine, but the LED doesn't light. The LEDs for the other 10 presets work perfectly. These have been discontinued and are getting very hard to find, especially at this price!

$265 shipped to the lower 48

Specs and Info:

Compact, lightweight, and packed with thunderous power!

Delivers 500 punchy, class-D watts into 2 cabs, yet it weighs less than 11 pounds! Select from 11 of your favorite bass amp sounds, dial up the programmable parametric EQ and compressor, and store your favorite combinations to 5 front-panel presets. Add to that a noise gate, parallel effects loop, speaker simulator, MIDI capability, variable crossover, headphone and tuner outs, and you've got one heavy package-figuratively speaking.

I joined TB just so I could ask this: Why are you selling?

Welcome aboard!

I'm getting rid of it for the following reasons:

1. The gig I thought I had fell through at the last minute. I bought this specifically for that reason because it was so light and plenty powerful for my needs.
2. My little practice amp and TASCAM bass trainer are perfectly good for just playing alone. I haven't played the Yamaha at all in over 3 months.
3. I'm marrried with 3 kids and can't justify stockpiling gear--not that there's anything wrong with it!
4. I need the money.

Thanks for your interest.

Sweetness. I was extremely close to buying one of these from MF before they got discontinued. PM'ed.
