What amp is this? (Pics included)-

Not the greatest pictures but any idea what amp this is?

That's a tough one. Do you know the name of the band?

It’s Thrice. That shape has me thinking it’s a Quilter bass block 803v3

That was my first thought too, but it looks black on the photo.
Maybe the 800 or 802?

I read the bassist of Thrice plays on Ampeg SVT, and I saw a photo with a SVT, so maybe he went for the Quilter v803, after all the black appearence may come from the lack of lights? (The Quilter 803 can be set to sound "SVT-ish")

It's a quilter bass block V803, Ed has shared his new touring rig on instagram.



Previously he was using a fender SB300 and Ampeg SVT-VR, seems like the ditched the tube amps. He runs a rusty box, sansamp, hx effects, and some other pedals in there too.

Nice there we go! Thanks Coreyfyfe!

I know he recorded allot of the last few albums with an Ampeg b15 as well. (Makes me want to try this out but $565 ouch! But I guess allot cheaper than the real thing.

Underrated (or maybe just under known) bassist. Stare at the Sun is such an iconic bass line.

Nice! 100% recreation of the tube preamp section.

Broughton is a little one man shop in Toronto. Another little shop in Maine , Arkham Sound is well worth looking into too. Both shops make beautiful stuff.

Looks like one of the newer Acoustic amps or an Ampeg Venture

Yeah I don’t want to lug an 8x10 around anymore for gigs. But that tone, air movement and punch is unmatched imo.
