BASS 100

OVERVIEW
ALL VALVE DYNAMIC BASS HEAD
Our dynamic Bass head has been derived from the ‘Single’ mode circuit of our flagship DUALIST amplifier. A pure all-valve circuit with some suitable component tweaks for bass EQ in the preamp, and typically employing an output stage utilising either pairs of KT88, 6550 or quad 6L6. Don’t be fooled by this typical 100w output rating, as we should all know ‘Watts’ is not a measurement of volume… it’s Decibels, SPL and efficiency that matter. If you research your valve bass amp history, you’ll know that some of the great classic valve Bass amps, for example the Ampeg V-4B, are in this power band. Through an efficient bass speaker cabinet, this responsive Bass amp will blow your socks off! In a very old-school way. An optional ‘line out’ tapped off the output transformer will allow a seperate feed to DI box for PA. Or we can fit the bomb-proof Samsystems INTEGRAL mic system to one or more of your speakers if you really want to capture the full essence your amp + speaker rig. Like all of our bespoke built-to-order amps, we can accommodate alternative output configurations and a range of finish styles.
Head £2300
2x KT88/6550 fitted as standard.
Other tube sets available on request.
SIZES
All our amps are available in two chassis sizes depending on requirements and tube set specification.
Combo or Head options with additional matching speaker cabinets can be supplied in a variety of finishes. The prices listed are for typical regular tolex and levant covering with additional surcharges for Tweed or Special Custom finishes priced on availability.
FINISH
Finished cabinets and combos are priced without speakers, since our customers request a variety of speaker options and configurations which can vary considerably in cost.
We can advise you on speaker options, but if you know what you like we can buy them in for you at cost, or you can send them directly to us from your chosen supplier or we can fit speakers you already have available.
Nothing is too much trouble, just ask.
STYLES
Regarding finish styles, materials, grille cloth and speakers … if we can get it.. we can finish it.

THE LINEUP
DUALIST CUSTOM
The concept behind the DUALIST Custom was to provide something just a little bit different whilst embracing the best of a great tradition of classic guitar amplification.
DUALIST XL
To facilitate the more extreme Heavy Metal and Hard Rock players we have taken our classic DUALIST Custom dual-gain preamp circuit and re-worked it into a hardwired none-switching single-channel version destined to melt your face!
8-BALL CUSTOM
The '8-Ball Custom Reverb' is a straight ahead reverb amp based on the 'Single' mode of our classic DUALIST circuit. Essentially pitched as a straight ahead 'clean' amp for those players who do not require the overdrive from the preamp.
