This is an early-1980s example with the classic slider EQ and dual input layout. The amp is well-maintained, functions properly, and delivers the signature Mesa low-end punch and warmth that made these a legend. The included SUS-4 shock-mounted case is a rare, high-end Mesa accessory that was built specifically for these heads. It features internal shock suspension, foam isolation, heavy touring hardware, and excellent structural protection – ideal for studio owners, touring bassists, or collectors. Condition: Clean for its age with normal cosmetic wear. Included: Mesa Bass 400 head + original Mesa SUS-4 road case. Feel free to message with questions.

After the great reaction to the Little Mark Vintage Head, Markbass designed the Mark Vintage Pre. The Mark Vintage Pre delivers a massively wide palette of tone options, from modern sounds to vintage ones to fit pretty much any genre you’re going for. But this pedal is more than just a preamp. You get a tube preamp, a 4-band EQ, two switchable EQ filters, two different types of drive with level and blend controls, a headphone practice amp with an AUX-in and headphone out, and a switchable effects loop which can also be used as a tuner output. Markbass Mark Vintage Pre Tube Bass Preamp Pedal Metal. 4-band EQ/3-way Switch Like the Little Mark Vintage head, the Makr Vintage Pre’s 4-band EQ section has a new setting on frequencies center, all tuned to offer a pretty balanced tone that easily cuts in the mix, plus a 3-way switch with three useful EQ preset options to get very quickly a real FLAT setting, a CUT setting with scooped Mids, and enhanced Low and High, and an OLD option with scooped High to get an old, vintage-style tone. Two Types of Distortion/Blend Control The Mark Vintage Pre offers two types of distortion (selectable via foot switch). The amount of drive tone, ranging from crunchy overdrive to aggressive distortion, is controlled by the Drive pot. The Blend control allows you to mix the Drive tone with the Clean signal of the tube preamp. Adding a bit of distortion during a studio recording gives a “gorgeous” bass sound cutting in the mix. Boost The Boost switch allows you to boost your signal level to +6dB and instantly get more headroom whenever you need it. Box The Balanced D. Out is a real D.

1969 Fender Bantam Bass. Electric Guitar/Bass Amplifier Head. This is a pretty rare amp and the only one I’ve ever seen. This model was made 1969 through 1971 and is the direct predecessor of the Bassman 10 amp. I found this amp used in a music store in Honolulu back in the late 70′s; it was working perfectly so I used it briefly. The power transformer and the output transformer both date to 1969 but the choke dates to 1972. We are not sure why because they all appear original. I had my cabinet maker fabricate an easily removable duplicate baffle board with identical grille for the cut-down head cabinet. Recently (Dec 2024) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, lubricated the pots and switches, powered it for an hour and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape. We had our cabinet builder cut the amp down and we preserved the tube chart. (Without speaker, please see photos). This is now a more reasonable approx. The tube chart is cut out from the original cabinet and kept on the original wood since that part of cabinet was cut down. The only thing that makes sense to us now is cutting the cabinet down to a head so that you have the flexibility of use with other speaker cabinets and easier transportation. Everything else is all original to the amp. By turning this amp into a head, it can now be used for ANY amplification needs! Public address, bass, electric piano, organ, accordion, guitar, harmonica, steel guitar.. This platform makes an excellent bass amp paired with a suitable cabinet (8 ohm or greater)- complete flexibility and much more convenient with its increased portability. Serial # A 02588. 1 Sylvania 5U4 GB. 2 Sylvania 6L6 GC. Chassis Side Black Marker. (33rd week of 1969). All other pots dated 1969. (52nd week of 1969). (38th week of 1972). (43rd week of 1969). It might serve the buyers purpose to bring up the power slowly with a variac since these used amp heads are over 50 years old and have not been used for a few decades.
