Here's a rare chance to own an Arkham Beast in near-mint condition at less-than-new prices. This is absolutely one of the finest and most innovative Tube Preamp/Class D amps available. Arkham uses the James (passive Baxendall) tone stack, similar to that used in the legendary Ampeg B-15. It sounds great, and it's bone-crushing loud. And the DI just kills.

Here's the original TB sale thread from which I bought the amp.
SOLD - Arkham Sound The Beast of Both Worlds 1200 watt bass amp
The amp is in near-mint condition, with just a couple of small and light scratches on the top of the chassis. Since I've owned it, the amp hasn't left my smoke-free rehearsal space.
Price is $1300, shipped to you in CONUS. International sales are ok, so long as you pay the extra costs of shipping, VAT, import duties, etc. PayPal preferred. For an extra $150, I will include a Studio Slips padded carrying carrying case that I had made for the amp. No trades, thanks!
