Lightweight, powerful, and loaded with tone tools, the RM‑500‑EVO II is perfect for gigging bassists, session players, and home studio rigs alike. From tight slap tones to gritty drive, it's a modern bass head that covers it all without breaking your back.

This amp was serviced in March 2025. The unit was fully disassembled and checked, and had a faulty temperature monitor switch replaced. It is now in great working order.
