Quilter Bass Block V803 800W amp £500 Minehead, Somerset

[Alfie Noakes]

I’ve just made the switch to a Handbox RA400 amp and therefore this little gem can go up for sale (she said).

 

It’s a cracking 800 Watt Class-D amp that weighs under 2 kilos (or 4 lbs, if you’re as old as me), in extremely good condition. I’ve used it with my BareFaced SuperTwin for about 12 months, and never had it past noon on the Master Volume switch. Despite the dinky size, it kept up admirably with our drummer, but that’s another story. To be totally honest, I found the best sounds came from having all the dials at noon, with maybe a slight bit more on the Gain. Also, the three options on the Amp Voice Switch (Modern, Warm and Q-Tube) are all very useable. It has done about 25 gigs in a variety of settings (pubs, clubs, the usual) and has performed perfectly and without fault, and even drawn the odd bit of tonal praise too from occasional discerning punters who know their stuff.

 

I picked up a new padded Boss case to protect it for c. £40, and that’s in with the sale too, as is a mains lead.

 

New, these cost £699 from Thomann.

 

There’s a nifty and very favourable review on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/YVm8OVBIR2Q and the other views on the web are all pretty darn good too, and rightly so.

I’ll include insured shipping to any mainland UK address (or pop in if you’re local to Minehead, Somerset, and give it a try out at Chez Noakes)

 

No trades, peeps.
