That is a hard request. $500 will buy you a head.
Hartke 3500
Save a little longer and get a 4x10 to go with this and you'll have a good rig.

Just spend the $500 on a head alone, and then plan to save up again for a cab. You're really not going to get anything especiall great in a half stack with $500.

GK Backline series if you're looking to buy new. There's not a lot to touch it for that price.

GK makes some really good bass amps, in my opinion. If that's the one with 2x10s and a woofer, I'd be all over that if I were you.

I heard some comedian say it on Comedy Central, don't know who it was.
But indeed it may have been a Tuesday or a Saturday. I vaguely remember them making a solid state guitar amp. Did they ever make a tube amp?
