    lol that's what i got, a really loud 4 ohm cab, after posting this thread we had an outside sound gig, in which i played the first set using my amp, the next band came up with a markbass 12 combo and 18" hartke extension speaker......we were scrambling to get him in the mix, the band after them...

    New Quilter bass amp!

    I have had my bass block 880 for a couple of months, l love the tone control and the overall performance, the lack of control on the line out is a bit aggravating, i believe ill be selling that one soon! I like the setup here
