Guest MoJo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) [center][url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/bassman2790/media/Hughes%20and%20Kettner%20Rig/hughesampkettner_rig_front_zpsdb482151.jpg.html"][/url][/center] An absolute steal at this price. I paid as much for the amp alone. A heavy but powerful rig. This is one of only two rigs that I've owned that will literally shake your eyeballs in their sockets (not recommended but impressive non-the-less). The Quantum 600 was H&K's top-of-the-range bass head at it's launch. Thanks to the clever impedance selector on the rear panel, this head can deliver it's 600 watts into loads of either 2.8 / 4 / 5.3 or 8 ohms.

The front panel has more tone shaping options than you're likely to need (see pic below). Left to right (simplified) .....[list] [*]Gain - to match bass output to preamp input [*]Punch switch - emulates a valve amp set up to give a clean sound for a livlier punchier tone [*]Four band EQ - boosting or cutting one control also has the opposite effect on it's neighbours [*]Bass shape - Cuts 80Hz frequencies to counteract 'boomy' stages [*]Mid boost - boosts a broad range of frequencies around 220Hz to give a more 'classic' tone [*]HF Character - adds a bit of sparkle. More noticable with active basses [*]Tube Growl - Self expanitory [/list] There are also sockets for the optional footswitch and headphones [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/bassman2790/media/Hughes%20and%20Kettner%20Rig/hughesampkettner_rig_amp_front_zpsf5742fe6.jpg.html"][/url] Head comes with it's own padded cover and is therefore in very good / excellent condition [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/bassman2790/media/Hughes%20and%20Kettner%20Rig/hughesampkettner_rig_amp_cover_zpsb176362b.jpg.html"][/url] The BC215H cabinet comes quipped with two 15" drivers and a high frequency horn. The latter is controlled by circuitry in the rear panel and HIGH - NORMAL - LOW or OFF can be selected. The cabinet is in good used condition with a few battle scars and I have fitted heavy duty swivelling wheels (with locks) to it because of its weight [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/bassman2790/media/Hughes%20and%20Kettner%20Rig/hughesampkettner_cab_rear_panel_zps100fff66.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/bassman2790/media/Hughes%20and%20Kettner%20Rig/hughesampkettner_rig_wheels_zps412f2c2c.jpg.html"][/url] ......Oh, and I forgot to mention it the amp looks damned sexy when it's all lit up on stage [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/bassman2790/media/Hughes%20and%20Kettner%20Rig/quantum2_zps8b093e15.jpg.html"][/url] It's just too heavy to post. It can be collected from my DY3 (Dudley) address or I can deliver within a reasonable distance for fuel costs.

Guest MoJo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 A little interest in the head, which I am prepared to sell at £400 shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
