Carvin BX500 Lightweight Bass Head with Rack Ear Upgrade

This is a Carvin American Made 500 Watt Class D Amp Head that we just received on trade. You can easily remove the rack kit if you want to. The original owner kept it in a rack to keep it safe and it worked. It has an awesome switchable tube preamp and a boatload of tone shaping EQ options. It has been fully checked out and certified as "perfect" by our guitar techs. If you can't get the sound you're looking for through this amp we'll buy it back. Just return it in the same condition you bought it and we'll refund your money minus the shipping.
NOTE: We are expert shippers and always include shipping insurance at no extra charge.
