So rad! Thanks for playing our gear!
Thank you, thank you! You guys make it easy for us to sound that good!
Really diggin’ the amp, pedals and playing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Stay tuned,… there’ll be more goodies dropping in the coming weeks!
Im clueless about all this, but I watched the whole thing cause of how excited you are, and now I want one too :D
That Atreides sounds so cool....what else are you running in your chain there?
The Atreides is definitely a fun one, especially stacking it with certain overdrives. If you want to hear a good example, that disgusting growl between the intro and start of LB-1 is the Atreides and Nunez ABC together (with a volume swell). The rest of the stuff has changed a little and will be changing again soon thanks to Trickfish (no spoilers) so, there’ll be an updated video with a better view soon. 😬

I'm in the market for a new bass amp. I was set on an Ampeg SVT for a long time before I came across this. The SVT is really cool, but part of me feels like the 1K would still put out great tone for a lot less money and a lot less weight.
The SVT definitely has its place and it really all depends on what you’re going to run them through. Full disclosure, I’ve never been an SVT fan and my personal experience with Ampeg is limited to the Portaflex I had in the early 90s, and that was never used for live purposes (I played SWR for close to 20 years). You should absolutely give the 1K a listen in person, though, and that should help solidify whether it’ll be a good fit for you - it seriously puts out the power in a way you’ll feel unlike the SVT. If you’re in South Florida and come out to one of our shows, I’d be happy to give you walkthrough of it as well.

@@SUMOBAND Thanks! I'm in NC, so it may be a while before I can make it down to FL for a show. It's just frustrating not being able to easily demo this gear before buying it. I went to my local guitar store today, and that had almost no bass amps to try out.
Welcome, welcome. Give us some time and we will likely end up in your area before you end up down here. That’s a shame about the lack of gear in the shops, too. It wouldn’t hurt to reach out to the Trickfish guys via email (info@trickfishamps.com), though, since they might be able to point you in the right direction in case there’s anyone near you.
@@SUMOBAND Thank you! I'll be sure to reach out to them!
Wow!! 1000 watts?!? Just getting a hint at the level of overhead possible with this. Sounding great! What cab are you running?
Indeed and it’s a sneaky 1K watts. The headroom is definitely insane and works beautifully for what I want it to do. Thank you, thank you! And the cab is a gutted MarkBass 106 (they made a small batch of white ones years ago and I couldn’t resist) but, the speakers couldn’t keep up with the previous amp, the Bullhead .5K. I swapped them out for Eminence Kappalite LFs and that really lets the Bullhead 1K run amok.
@@SUMOBAND Beautiful sounding rig!! And, looks great too!!
Weird question: How do you think this'd fare as a "guitar head"? I'm looking for something that can dish out heaps of wattage with moderately hefty low end while still staying glassy/airy on top for Bass VI duties. Thanks!
This is something I haven’t thought of but, we could easily test out in a few hours (practice time and all). Chris uses 8 string guitars and we could easily test that. Sticking to just the BassVI or using conventional 6 string guitars as well? Either way, I’ll reply back a little later with some observations.

Just a bass vi with (guitaresque medium/high gain w/ clean blend) through a 4x12 w/ neo basslites (listed as 49hz to 4.5k... but realistically the curve is after 6k)@@SUMOBAND Thanks!
@DeadRegister I’ll keep that in mind. Chris’ guitars are basically downtuned BassVIs with extra heat behind them so it shouldn’t be much of a stretch. I’ll report back shortly!
Amado
As promised,… we tested Chris’ 8 string Kiesel and the it maintained the low and high strings just fine. I didn’t change up my EQ, though, and it still sounded fine. Definitely some serious headroom and bottom on it. I hope this helps out. Cheers!

@@SUMOBAND Thanks so much for your time, efforts, and insight. After all that, the Trickfish that was for sale locally was snapped up before I could get to it today! ARGH!
Sick.
I appreciate the video, but I couldn’t hear what the amp sounded like without your heavy effects.
Video nor audio do it justice with or without anything in the chain so, best way to experience is it live.
