Paul S Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Gosh, they are interesting - I am still enjoying my Bassblock and often use it with a BF 110 for rehearsals for a light carry in. Love the look of the Bassliner 1x12, and to be able to connect it up into a combo would be very convenient. Not in UK yet?

Opticaleye Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 The cabs are 1/4" jack only and would not meet EU safety regs i believe. I'm not expecting them over here anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I just read a post over there from Mesa's development engineer saying that the industry moved over to speakons due to the requirement of the EU directive. Puzzling how the amp is allowed 1/4" and a speakon. Edit: It [i]may[/i] just be amps after all, but most manufacturers use speakons on cabs now for the same safety reasons Edited May 1, 2017 by Opticaleye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmayhem Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Here is mine: I've used it for jazz gig with fretless Lakland five string and one TKS S112 cab. Perfect! Also some church gigs with one of my TKS 2126 cabs, playing my Dingwall Sklar. The gig last weekend was more oldschool tone, same setup but with my Dingwall Super-P with Thomastik flats. I've also used it for my big all wood 4/4 upright bass and a TKS S112: nice and acoustic! Also some metal jam with LOUD drummer through PA, a guitard with one and a half stack. I used the amp with a 1000 Watt Ampeg SVT 810 cab and my old Streamer. Gain at 3 o'clock: Mmmmmmmmm! My testimony: Set the gain low and you get clean tone, crank it and the amp starts to behave like a tube amp: more growly and gnarly the higher you set, and a very noticable "tube amp sag" and compression. The filter section is very smart and useful. Cut lows completely for acoustic upright, a tad of scoop on the other filter clear things up. Roll of - or in this case: turn up the filter knob - highs for more Motown tone. This is not a small back-up amp, this is the real deal, just weighing a tenth of my pedalboard...

Merton Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Seriously tempted to get one of these with another couple of BF One10s. Argh. Must stop reading the positive comments on the thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The cabs look very interesting. Great looking drivers...though I think there might be a dip in output in the 1x12" cab (3012LF driver) before it crosses over into the horn's usable frequency range....so probably not quite as 'full range' as e.g. Fearless F112 or Barefaced Big Baby. But still, a cab with a little natural voicing (??cut in output around 2k ish) might suit a lot of people. I'm just speculating, of course, based on the info Eminence gives on their website about the drivers used....looks like a pretty impressive package overall. Must. Not. Sell. Puma. 900. No. Need.

Marty Forrer Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I just joined the Quilter BassBlock 800 club, by ordering one from Reverb.com. Waiting with anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
