    I need help picking my first bass head

    The blackline was the first and last one I tried. It just... was lifeless? I don't know. That's why I tried it twice. I don't know if it was because it wa less power or what. It had less punch. Even the stuff in the room rattled less. It was plenty loud, it just seamed less....

    I need help picking my first bass head

    Well I ended up getting a Traynor small block 500. Got to try like 6 heads back to back. I also liked the gk mb500 but it was another $150. I was disappointed in the mark bass blackline, but it was $100 cheaper. I was surprised how different each one was. I didnt get to try a rumble, no one...

    Also what does everyone think of a little mark. The cheap one blackline. The one shop also has a eden e300. Is it worth a look?

    Cool, but some quick math, 375 is about 490 cnd. Plus shipping and anything else they add at the boarder. I see the online listed at $599 cnd new.

    Same as buying any swr used I guess. At $540 Canadian am not sure, never seen one used to know what it sells for.

    They didn't have any in stock. I might try the other long on the other side of town. They didn't try and sell me the expensive one. Just showed me what they had around $400 or less. I tried a small fender combo, and a svt micro? and a couple others I cant remember After trying these I...

    I am looking through there but am not sure how it works, buying used gear and getting it sent across the boarder. Like is there duty and stuff on it still. And how much extra paperwork is there for the used seller?

    Would it be worth it to buy a swr headlite for $540 Canadian. Its a dealer demo they still have. For reference, pf500 is $480, traynor sb500 is $490, mb500 is $630, tc bh550 is $575, rumble 500 is $500. Not in stock, but they can order them in.
