Carvin BX500 Head

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD

Up for sale is my Carvin BX500. 500 watts @ 2 or 4 ohms. I'm the original owner and have had this since January 2009. No problems, no issues, no noise ... operates perfectly. I've used this primarily as a practice / rehearsal amp but did use it for two gigs with a fairly tame acoustic electric band. Never been pushed hard. Love the tone and power, but my new Ampeg is light enough to carry back & forth to practice. The Carvin drew the short straw and has to move along. $275.00 Shipped CONUS. PayPal OK. Here's one crummy pic. MB-200 not included. I can take more next week if you need to see anything in particular.
