Very nice!

Nice set up matey! Looking forward to hearing how you get on with it. Especially if you get to gig it Eude

Welcome to the club mate That's a gorgeous bass you've got there. Sister to my one too, well kinda... Eude

Old thread bumparoo. You still looking for one of those weird Yamaha basses? Is this one?... http://webshop.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/458935/yamaha-motion-b-mb-ii-bass-with-hard-case Eude

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1350554034' post='1840353'] Go on, go on, go on! Loving mine, you know you want to! [/quote] You're an awesome(ly bad) influence sk8! Eude

Not boring in the slightest

There's a new Promethean just launched >> http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_p3110.htm Not quite the same, but close enough for pit work I reckon. The CMD121p LM3 from what I've heard is worth every penny however Eude

Simply Wow

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1350497226' post='1839753'] This head is reviewed in November's BGM( out now). Might be worth looking at it in WHS or even buying it! Gets a decent review too ( there again nothing really ever gets slated!) [/quote] Just got home to find my copy, gonna read that review before I go to bed [quote name='bruce@tc' timestamp='1350493510' post='1839687'] Fourthly without wanting to get into a slanging match here, the 75w also isn't at all true as the amp has a 250w TC power module. It's true that with the APM engaged by design that a full 250w rating wouldn't be measured via sine wave on a scope, however that isn't a true representation of what a bass guitar signal does in our view.[/quote] Thanks for chiming in Bruce, that's very reassuring and not helping my BH250 GAS one bit Eude

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1350459692' post='1839024'] Same tech, same test on a shuttle 3.0, MB200 and Reidmar then I would take it seriously [/quote] Good point, I'm sure folks will fudge the figures, but probably only to round them up so the spec looks nicer. I am suspicious that TC may have been a little bit cheeky with the RH450/Classic450 heads, especially seeing that some of their endorsees jumped on the RH750 head as soon as they could, but if they [b]had[/b] been caught out there is no way in hell they would try it again, that would be business suicide... On a side note, I also read somewhere that the power module in the Fender Rumble 350 head, which is rated at 350W, is identical to the one in a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0, which is 600W, right?... Like sk8 suggested, I'd rather see these type of heads compared in these kinds of tests rather than shot down one by one, at the end of the day it's a hell of a lot of kit for £250 even if the rated wattage is a little off, TC don't market this as a gigging solution, they sell it as a rehearsal up to small/medium gig head. Even with this report, it's the [b]only[/b] negative comment I've read anywhere with regards to the power of these things, here and over the pond. Still sorely tempted... Eude

[quote name='phatbass787' timestamp='1350414155' post='1838575'] Was chatting in my local shop today and there was one of these being repaired on the techs bench, I asked him what he thought as i thought they look interesting and he said not bad for a 75 watt head... to which I said ahh is that why you're repairing it then, he said nope that's what they put out RMS I've just power tested it now its repaired... So I remember all the fuss with the 450 heads being 200 odd watts and it looks like they're still manipulating things, obviously watts aren't everything but I'm losing more respect for TC each time they launch something backed by highly creative spec and marketing... [/quote] That's surprising and disappointing, by all accounts this little guy is a lot louder than plenty of other micro heads in a similar price bracket, some of which are rated up to 350W, does that mean that these other ones are more like 50W?... Eude

Some nice pics on this Japanese site >> [url="http://kandashokai.co.jp/flos/ashdown/bass_amplifires/mibass/mi_12.html"]http://kandashokai.c...bass/mi_12.html[/url] Very nice too...

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1349977973' post='1833088'] I got a Mi12 today. Initial impressions are great. Really good sound-the horn isn't harsh like some-and it gives a really full range sound. I've not used 12" speakers before,but at the moment I really like it. I've got 3 gigs this weekend,so it will get a thorough testing. It works really well with the MiBass 550...I've not tried it with the Little Bastard yet. [/quote] That's excellent news Doddy, I had read somewhere else that the high end was very nicely voiced, not brittle or unpleasant, slightly more vintagey, which isn't a bad thing, I'm sick and tired of slap sounds that could burn human skin, I love a much more old school slap sound. Are you planing on running two of these cabs then? Oh remember, pics or it never happened...

AWESOME!

Said elsewhere already, but Hot Damn Shep, that bass looks amazing!

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1349905108' post='1832211'] Hehe sorry to keep you all in suspense. Doddy is correct, the delivery of the cabs was delayed. I have the head but as I don't have a cab I can't give any feedback other than its very small and neat. The good news is my Mi12 arrives from the lovely people at Ashdown tomorrow. I'll post a picture of the rig then and a quick review after rehearsals on Friday [/quote] Excellent, really excited to see what these are like... Eude

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1349874199' post='1831588'] I was told last week that the Mi Cabs are expected for delivery in the next few weeks,so I'm guessing that he's not got the full rig yet. [/quote] Boo Well pics and first impression from you too, when they arrive, thank you! Eude

Yup, I'm interested in going back to a microhead/1x12 cab set up, be really interested to hear how you get on with this kit, photos and a review would be VERY nice Eude

Well?....

[quote name='spaners' timestamp='1349819919' post='1831089'] I would say its kinda old school sounding, but then im playing finger n pick onto tapewound strings so it aint guna sound hifi lol. the RS112 is a bit boomy in my living room so got it set slight cut on the bass slight boost to the mids and treble kinda 10 oclock 2 oclock 1 oclock sounds realy good up to about 10 oclock on the volume, then the light fitting starts to rattle n things fall off the wall !!!!! [/quote] Nice one dude, thanks for that

Absolutely gorgeous mate! You must be VERY happy Eude

[quote name='spaners' timestamp='1349725735' post='1829756'] Had mine for a couple of weeks now. Love the sound. Love tone prints. Build seems very solid, no funny noises from mine. I havent tryed it through anything bigger than my RS112 8ohm cab, but at home that is loud at just 1 quater volume. Had an ampeg pf350 befor and that was def not as loud into the same cab. Into a pair of 12s or a 4x10 at 4ohms I think this would be more than enuf loud for most things and if you need more theres a Di on the back [attachment=120451:P9180017.JPG] [/quote] Sounds good man, I don't need to change my set up, but I've got itchy feet. How would you describe the RS112 cab along with the head? Is it an old school sounding thing, or is it more hifi? Cheers, Eude

Speakon jack has gone now too...

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1349699545' post='1829211'] They should have made a 12 inch cab version with a variables tweeter and the same 500 w head with a few tweaks. I'd pay good money for that! [/quote] Yup, real shame that. I've been considering selling my Promethean lately, partly just for a bit of a change, but I really miss the little bit more oomph you get from a 12" compared to 10". The thing looks like a very cool design, but it looks very much like the 1x15 combo that came out a few months ago, they've cheapened the thing a bit Eude
