Trickfish bass amps at Lauzon Music
What Trickfish is known for
Trickfish designs the head, the cabinet, the drivers and the crossover as one system, aiming for an even, studio-monitor balance that shows you the bass and your hands rather than colouring them. The cabinets are void-free Baltic birch with heavy bracing and slotted ports, loaded with drivers Trickfish designs and Eminence builds. The Bullhead 1K's four-band EQ has two switchable frequencies on every band.

Questions
Trickfish Amplification questions, answered
What does the Trickfish Bullhead 1K have on the back panel?
A balanced direct output for a live or recording console, a series or parallel effects loop, a line in, a headphone jack, a tuner out with a footswitch mute jack, and a mute switch on the front. Metering is a multi-segment LED ladder, so you can see your gain staging at a glance.
How is the EQ on the Bullhead set up?
Four bands, flat at 12 o'clock. Bass is a shelf at 40 or 80 Hz, low-mid is 333 Hz narrow or 473 Hz wide, high-mid is 1 kHz narrow or 1.8 kHz wide, and treble is a shelf at 4 or 8 kHz.
Which Trickfish cabinet should I pair with the Bullhead 1K?
It comes down to volume and how much you want to carry. On this page the TF112 is rated at 300 watts, the TF212V at 600 watts and the L410 4x10 at 600 watts. All of them are built the same way, Baltic birch with slotted ports and Trickfish-designed drivers, so the voice stays consistent as you size up. Ask us in the chat if you want help choosing.
