Quilter? Anybody know this brand?

[Dr. Cheese]

My favorite store has this used Quilter combo. It is 450w as a 1x12 combo and 800w with an extension cabinet. I did not make a video, but I think it sounds great. It has a ton of bottom, but is also bright, with lots of clarity, just like I like it. It is pretty expensive for a used combo. It think it is small batch/boutique. I would love to hear from anybody who has experience with this brand.

I've heard of them, no experience though, but yeah I think they're kinda boutique.

Perhaps you may have heard of Pat Quilter's other company, Quilter Sound Company? AKA QSC.

 

[bherman]

They are really fine quality bass amps. A little quirky with the eq setup but fine gear. How much are they asking for the rig?

A well respected brand at TB. There are tons of Quilter threads for you to read here.

Oh yeah! The store owner mentioned that.

$900 is the asking price. I may lay it away. The power of that combo could really be useful. It sounds like a much bigger rig.

Mr. Quilter himself is a world class amp designer, not just a money guy, FWIW.

I think he has or does drop into TB once in a while as well.

I've got a buddy plays through a Quilter Bass Block 800 with a 6x10 Barefaced cab, it's absolutely monstrous.

I believe it!

I had a BB800. It has BIG power but I found it's EQ a bit limited. The 802 took care of that. I can't speak to their cabinets but the BB802 head which is dockable sold for $749 New.

If I'm not mistaken, the parts of that combo are sold separately. The Bass Dock cabinet allows you to drop in a Bass Block 800 or 802. Their asking price is about 1/2 of what the head and cab would cost new.

Yep, and the Bass Dock cab is about $650 new.

Dang! I might have to put some money on this tomorrow! It’s a killer rig.

I can attest to the power and portability of the BB800. I had it paired with an HX Stomp on a pedalboard for an 800 watt modeler rig. I got rid of it during a G.A.S attack a few years ago One of the best amps I've ever owned and I sometimes browse TB classifieds in search of one that's just tempting enough on the right day...

If it's clean, IMHO, it's worth $900.
But $800 would be better!

Yeah. They make the bass block. It's a good clean amp. The eq is odd. A couple contour knobs. But, you can run whatever you want into it. Clean and reliable.
Surely you've seen this guy around
