Ampeg Portaflex Series PF-500 500-Watt Bass Amplifier Head
Ampeg’s Portaflex PF-500 bass head delivers a staggering 500W of power in an ultra-compact design providing pure Ampeg tone in an extremely portable package. The PF-500 harnesses the performance of Ampeg’s highly-researched MOSFET preamp, setting a new standard for solid-state tone. Tonal control is no problem with the 5-position midrange control and classic ultra hi/lo boosts while features like the direct out with ground lift and pad are perfect for the gigging bassist. There’s even onboard compression for a tighter, cleaner tone at high volumes. Pair it with our PF-115HLF or PF-210HLF flip-top cabinets for the vintage styling and portability of Ampeg’s iconic Portaflex originals.

Get this amp!! I went to the music store and I played an Ibanez Gsr6ex 6-String Electric Bass (Amber Burst which is beautiful BTW) through this Ampeg Portaflex Series PF-500 500-Watt Bass Amplifier Head using an Ampeg SVT-410HLF cabinet and WOW. This head sounds great through that rig!! It has a compression knob which makes this amp a must have. I tried the compression and it made such a big difference. Especially if you switch between slapping and fingering. Without the compression, the slapping is much…
Don’t !!!!!!!!!
Returned for refund and will try 500 watt Hartke and hope for better dependability.
