Quilter Amplification Announces the Bass Block 800

The amp tips the scales at a mere 3.75 pounds and delivers a staggering 800 watts.

Costa Mesa, CA (August 29, 2016) -- Already famed for the use of his power amplifiers in the realm of Bass guitar, Pat Quilter set out to develop something that truly delivered both from a power standpoint and as a true contribution to the beauty of the bass as a musical instrument. Unlike many of today’s designs that pit a power module designed by one company against a preamp designed by another, the Quilter Bass Block 800 is designed from the ground up by one of the world’s foremost authorities in solid state amplification. Tipping the scales at a mere 3.75 Pounds and delivering a staggering 800 watts you will never lack for power no matter where you go. One-world AC supply, 800 real watts, and “bottomless” signal management powers your groove with explosive dynamics. “Club power” is no longer an issue, and the power-calibrated master control lets you safely drive any speaker. Lift your band to a whole new level! With a full feature set including Active/Passive/Post Pre-amp Direct inputs, Dual 1/4” speaker and Speakon outputs, refined voicing controls that simplify tonal setup and a calibrated master out, the Bass Block 800 shines as a standalone head.

“Having witnessed the development and usage of the Bass Block by many award-winning professionals in concerts and stages all over the world over the last couple years, I must confess that I am in awe at the response and results of what I believe to be the most musical bass head ever created.” Says company CEO Chris Parks. “Time and again, bass players are awed at the tone and simplicity of set up. Time and again, they respond with shock and awe at what they are experiencing. You really need to try one of these things if you are a serious, professional musician. It will make your bass sing!”
