Ok, it has finally been available to the public now since Aug. 29. Anyone dove in? Any reactions, impressions, experiences they'd like to share? This thing could seriously change everything. http://www.quilterlabs.com/index.php/products/bassblock-amplifiers/bass-block-800 —Insect Surfers |

I'm not in the market for a new bass amp, I've got a GK MB800 that I use at home (and for jams, since it fits in the front pocket of a gig bag) and a big custom 300W tube head in storage, but I'd really like to try one of these out. Had I the means, I would definitely pick up one of these and a 101 for guitar. Everything I've read/heard/seen about them is great. |

Lorenzo mentioned using it in the Pro Block thread, perhaps he will chime in here... surferjoemusic wrote: — Bill S._______ |

One did get used during Phantom Frank's set at the convention, as the tube amp started to die during Messer Chups' set, and I believe it was used again at the pier the whole next day. Last edited: Oct 20, 2016 21:35:28 |

I had the opportunity to check one out yesterday. It's incredibly powerful, and I could not get a bad sound out of it. There are so many useful classic sounds available with the turn of a knob or two. The gain set on 10 isn't too dirty, but it got this wonderful SVT-like grind that was really fun to play. I'm not a bass player 95% of the time, but I'd definitely pick one of these up if I felt I could make use of it. |

Bump. I heard the Bass Block was on the drawing board way back, due to regulations it took a while to get through. |

A friend of mine picked one up after getting some long distance fly gigs and has been using it exclusively since. http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |
