Glockenklang amps and cabs are quite possibly the best bass amps and cabs made. We're happy to be the largest Glockenklang dealer in the US and we've had personal experience with almost every Glockenklang amp and cab available! (Not to mention we have most of them in stock!) :)

Ask us anything about Glockenklang and we'll do our best to help you out!

Peace!

Any chance you could compare Glockenklang to Phil Jones Bass?

I have a PJB rig (M500, 6T, 9B) and I don't think I'm getting rid of it anytime soon, but I'm curious about your thoughts.

Thanks,
Marshall

That's a tough one Marshall... PJB makes great gear also and we carry both! But I'll give it a shot...

In terms of quality, construction and tone they are on the same level. Both are extremely transparent and really incredible sounding, both in their amps and cabs.

I really love both product lines, but I think that each is for a different type of buyer. Depending on the application, and preferences of the player one might be suited better than the other.

If you have some specific combination of amps/cabs that you're interested in A/B'ing, I'd be happy to give you my $.02 on it based on experience. But in general, I'd say that Glockenklang and PJB are in the same class...and it's a VERY small class that few other amp/cab manufacturers are even a part of.

For my personal amplification needs, I like the smaller combos from PJB, but prefer the larger amps/cabs from Glockenklang.

Bottom line is that it's hard to NOT be impressed with either of them... :)

Hope that helps!

Thanks James. That's great that you carry both lines.

No specific questions...I guess I'll just need to check them out sometime! :)

What are the differences between the Quattro USA and the German model? (build/tone/quality/specs)

Also, coming in at 106lbs, does it come with casters?:hmm:

Basically no tone difference between the 2... Or at least I can't hear a difference!

The technical differences are: Volt drivers in the German model and custom made Emminence drivers in the US model, and the US model costs about 30-40% less! The difference in price is due to the cost of shipping the cabs to the US. Also the German cabs have a sprayed-on (similar to truck bed liner) finish, while the US cabs are carpet covered. Otherwise, they are built to the exact same spec!

For the money, the US cabs are the way to go! In fact, we've stopped stocking the German cabs completely and will only custom order them. It just doesn't make sense for our customer to pay that much more money and not get any significant increase in value.

Awesome cabs! The Glock cabs will make just about any amp sound better. They're incredibly clear and transparent and have awesome response!

We love the Glock stuff! :)

Hey there,

I'm the realy happy owner of a Glockenklang rig made of a Soul bass head and a Quatro (german) cab.
I can't say enough good things about it.
The cab has everything you want deep clear lows (down to 36 hz), punchy mids with a great presence and realy clear and transparent highs not glassy or icy at all.

The head is also fantastic with its eq realy voiced to boost or cut what you need to.
Sound is always subjective but this thing is gorgeous, clear, precise and warm, I mean realy warm...
After 3 years with my Glock rig, what strikes me most is the versatility of that head in term of sound but also connectivity : 3 effect loops (one pre eq, another post eq with level control and a third to access directly the power amp), two imputs (active/passive) with a treem pots to match there level and a switch to pass from one to the other, a full featured DI which is noiseless and transparent, a foot switch to on/off the effect loop, and things realy practical such as a mute and an eq bipass...
I couldn't find anything with as much flexibility on the market in any cathegory.
:)

What's your favorite cab as a stand-alone?

What's your favorite cab as a stand-alone?

My current personal favorite is the 4 Ohm Double US (2x12). I just really dig the sound of the 12's. Not too punchy, but more than I need at the same time. It's the best compromise between a 10 and a 15...and since I prefer to have one cab, that's not huge, it's just the right fit for me.

I love all the cabs, they really don't make a bad one...but if I were buying a single cab and didn't ever want to add any additional cabs, it'd definitely be the Double US 4 Ohm!

Cool. That's actually the cab I've been considering. Have you tried it with a Heart-Rock? I'm currently using one through a Bergantino HT322.

I've hooked up 2 x 8 Ohm Doubles with the Heart Rock and it absolutely KILLS!!!! THAT my friend is what I call EXCESSIVE! :) It's incredibly loud, but absolutely ZERO distortion at extremely high volume levels. It's really incredible to hear...

I had a customer in who demo'd that rig with a Thumb 5 Neck Through that was tuned Drop D and down 1/2 step. It handled that low C# with ease... It was like it wasn't even working hard at all....

The Double is a 500 watt cab, so I'd be VERY careful running the Heart Rock through just one... 750 - 500 = 250 speaker blowing watts... It might be safer running through an 8 Ohm Double, but I wouldn't take the risk. 2 Doubles...No problem!

I love Glockenklang...it's just amazing stuff...

Oh no I would use the 8 ohm cab. The Heart-Rock only runs at 400 watts into 8 ohms. Thanks.

You are correct! And a very LOUD 400... That's one thing about Glockenklang, they are very HONEST about their power ratings. The Soul Top at 440 sounds more like a 600 watt head and the Heart Rock seems to have the power of a 800-1000 watt head by some other manufacturers.

We'll have the 8 Ohm Double US back in stock in about a week or so if you're looking for one.

Just wanted to let you all know about our Glockenklang Giveaway!

Do you guys stock the light version as well?

Do you guys stock the light version as well?

No, the light version is a German model only. All German models are custom order only as they are so expensive to import... We're happy to get them in, but delivery time is 8-12 weeks.

Peace!

Oh I didn't know that. Never mind then. Not worth the extra $. Thanks for all the info. It may be another month or so before I can do anything. I'll let you know when I do.

I always recommend the US cabs! Apart from the carpet covering on the US cabs and the custom Emminence drivers (Volt drivers in the US Double) in some of the US cabs, they are identical.

For the models that they have a US version of (which represent about 99% of what players actually use here in the US), they are about 30-40% less expensive simply because they are made here in the US and don't have to be imported. Shipping and taxes can really impact the price of imported goods.

The design and engineering are identical and the tone on the US versus the German cabs are pretty much identical. (read: I can't tell a difference...yet I'm sure it's possible to find someone out there that swears they can hear a difference...but I'd just think they were nuts ;))

Bottom line____it only makes sense to invest in the US Glock cabs if you're here in the States and you sacrifice nothing, and you save a substantial amount of $$$!

We'll have pretty much every cab in stock in the next 2 weeks, give us a call when you're ready!

Peace!

The Glockenklang USA 2x10 looks interesting, and its in my pricerange for what I want to spend on a cab.

Can you compare its tone to a Bergantino HT210S? Bergs are said to have a very nice mid presence, and even tone.

I haven't played the HT210S, but I have played some other Berg cabs. They're nice cabs, but they're not as smooth as the Glock cabs. They do have a midrange presence to them that is not my thing...

Glock cabs in general are extremely tranparent. They are not "flat" like some, but allow the character of your bass and amp to shine through. They're also built like tanks!

The Glock 210 is great, but like all 210s, I prefer to combo a 210 with something else like a 115 or another 210.

My favorite Glock cab is the 212! To me it's the best of both worlds with amazing high end presence, but it also cranks out beefy lows if you tell it to.

But if you like 210s, you WON'T be disappointed with the Glockenklang Duo!

Hello James,

I curently own a Quattro (german) 8 ohms powered by my Soul head.

For a few time now, I try to find something lighter to replace my Quattro.

I've studied extensivly the 2x112" road but now I think about a Double 4 ohms to do the job.

Could you tell me about the perceived differences between the Quattro and the Double ?

I think I've read a test from the Double that said this cab was realy clear for a 2x12".

Thanks for your view

Regards
