Bassics AH900

[tubbybloke68]

Hi, apologies if someone else has already asked but any experiences /feedback would be appreciated please? 
Build quality/real world volume etc.I’ve been using a Tecamp puma 900 for the last 5 years which is an amazing little thing I have to say, just intrigued about these British built amps.

 Thanks in advance folks x

I tried one in Bass Direct and was shocked at how quiet it seemed compared to everything else I tried.

I recently read elsewhere on here that it's currently being redesigned and will be re-launched later this year with a new/updated power stage...

The bloke who owns Bassics is a very well respected recording engineer, Malcolm Toft.  Unfortunately for us bassists, he makes more money out of mixing desks than bass amps, so that is his main area of work.  I was told there would be a new A900 power amp out in about three months.  They have the chassi (plural of chassis?) ready but some other components are still to be delivered.

Quiet?  As in isn't able to go very loud or has little hiss or fan noise?

 

Knowing the designer's background, I would bet Bassics stuff would be at its best in a studio.
