Lightweight and engineered for optimal portability, the Little AG 500 58R puts the stage-proven sound of a low-end legend in your hands.

Custom-designed MPT power amp

To ensure optimal low-end performance, Markbass amplifiers come equipped with a proprietary MPT (Mark Proprietary Technology) power amp designed by the brand’s founder, Marco De Virgiliis. This high-headroom power amp was purpose-made to supply an authoritative output with sharp definition and a lively, dynamic feel. Above all else, the MPT is a testament to Markbass and Marco's uncompromising commitment to supplying professional musicians around the world with superior bass tone.

Ample I/O for the stage and studio

The Markbass Little AG 500 58R's robust I/O section stands at the ready to take on any gigging or recording application with plug-and-play simplicity. Perfect for bassists with a sprawling stompbox collection, this head’s front-mounted effects loop optimally integrates all your favorite pedals. Next, you get an XLR Line Out with a transformer-equipped design to fight off any distortion or unwanted noise introduced by extreme transients. And when it's time to plug into your favorite cab, the Markbass Little AG 500 58R's speaker output section boasts a heavy-duty speakON jack for a lock-tight connection.
