Other MarkBass Heads

Has anyone tried the LMRocker, or R500 heads ?

I own the rocker. It is an awesome head. Loud as hell. I took it and two 112s to a metal core audition, the guitards were like "where's the rest of your rig?" They both had line 6 tube stacks. They were loud my ears rang for a couple of days. I didn't even have to go past 12 o'clock and blew them away. It is a very clean sounding amp. Then the tube grind knob, just the right amount of dirt if you want it.

I own the R500. The thing growls with the new preamp tube !!!!

I have a Invalid Link Removed and the Solid State/Tube mix is freakin badass.

The best Markbass head I ever played through was an old silver faced model - jusdt before they went yellow and took over the world. I think it morphed into the SA450?

Here a picture of my today rig.

the head a is R500. I liked it, but now after 30/40 minutes of using (live condition), distortion arrive.
The point is, even with turning down the gain, it still there.
So I have to sent it to service....

Except this point, nice head. Kind of smooth and power in the same time.

I've been using a SA450, for years. If it ever fails, I'll go with a MoMark version of it. I love my rig.

So I go into GC about three weeks ago and order the TTE 500. Get told its a special order. OK fine. Paid all up front. Week and a half later get told it is discontinued so I say I want a peavey vb-2. Then get told " oh I found one at a store in California . they are shipping it out to us." Still waiting. Is the TTE gonna b worth it? I've already got the rocker I just want that tube sound .

I have the R500 for sale now.... Not that it is not an awesome amp! I just have too many amps! Good asking price too!
