Smash

Thanks for the review and interesting read, I too am on the look out for a lighter cab, I used to have am RS210 with an RS112 but sadly a back injury made moving the RS210 about awkward, how would you think one of these Rumble 112 would sound like with a single RS112 cab?

Still haven't seen much info on these Cabs also the 350 Head, if anybody has these could they tell me how they compare to a usual rig as in Markbass/Epifani/TC Electronics etc would love to know as I am finishing live playing but still be nice to have a cheap stack at home just incase.

Shame he wasn't on my door step, really would love to try a Peavey T40 and at that price you can't go wrong

Seriously £200 BIN for these, someone buy it [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitars-Peavey-Gould-Electric-Peavey-Bass-/140616708659?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20bd68b233"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitars-Peavey-Gould-Electric-Peavey-Bass-/140616708659?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20bd68b233[/url]

If you can unplug one amp and link the cab.. therefore using it as an extn cab, you'll get closer to 500watts into 4ohms. Why would you want the two combos...the extn cab on its own would be the cheaper lighter better option, IMO. The only reason why you would want a two channel amp is if you were to bi-amp...and this is a zillion miles away from that anyway.[/quote] I used to run a Markbass head and a TC Electronics head into seperate 8ohms cabs running from my Attitude bass, clean bass through one and distortion through the other, it sounded great to my ears and dead simple on the fly to change the tone. I just wanted to know how 2 x combos would sound as I like the form factor, also hopefully be able to connect them together and disable one amp for a full 4ohm set up. if this is possible?

Has anyone tried using 2 x Markbass 121P together as in stereo output then also disconnecting 1 to use as a full 4ohm stack? I like this idea but wondering what it may sound like.

noticed it on this thread, I quite like it but think I prefer adding a few extra pounds to go Jap version. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=140617&hl=squier+mustang"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=squier+mustang[/url]

I really love the body shape from Status but I must admit I do not like the headstock designs on their basses except T-Bass and Retro models, if they did a Stealth with a T-Bass headstock then that's what I would buy.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1328419' date='Aug 5 2011, 10:45 AM']There's plenty of manufacturers offering basses with composite bodies and necks. Take a look at: [url="http://www.basslab.de/"]BassLab[/url] [url="http://www.bogart-bass.de/"]Bogart[/url] - with Blackstone bodies [url="http://www.emeraldguitars.com/"]Emerald Guitars[/url] [url="http://www.gusguitars.com/product.php?model_id=7"]Gus Guitars[/url] [url="http://www.miller-instruments.com/"]Miller Instruments[/url] [url="http://mosesgraphite.com/"]Moses Graphite[/url] That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more... I'd certainly be interested if [url="http://www.xoxaudiotools.com/"]these people[/url] ever made a bass version.[/quote] Amazing help thanks very much

Does any other manufacturer do a complete Graphite body like Status do with their Stealth basses?

The LM was a great amp, but not for me - warm and clean, but I was after a more tubey, old-school sound (I'm using a 1515L, no tweeters for me), so I found I was using my Sansamp all the time with the LM to get the sound I was after. Bought the RH450, sold the LM and the Sansamp, job done. I'd say it was possible to get a very clean, warm LM sound from the RH, though, it's just I never wanted to, so I never tried. Was the OP's RH second-hand? Did you clear any EQ tweaks that a previous user might have set?[/quote] I know what you mean, I quite like the non coloured sound more of the MB then normally I would add a Pre amp pedal on my board to thicken areas up, but this sounded bad with the RH450, it's more of use what is in the head which is fine but sometimes I liked to add distortion pedals. As I am now in my non playing days I would love to have it all built in so when you play the odd gig you have most of it with you in the head, especially the tuner, that was great. I did clear the EQ and tweaked it again and again but there was just something not right in my ears compared to the MB. Ah well maybe soon I might get to try a RH750

[quote name='markstuk' post='1307908' date='Jul 18 2011, 02:55 PM']Darker I would agree with... You might want to try a Stac51 - all the same gizmos as the RH but differently voiced - or try and track down the USB/Midi config utilities for the RH450 to change the voicing that have been circulating on BassTalk...[/quote] I looked at the Stac51 but not sure if it worth paying £300 more than the RH450, I would rather go for the RH750 at the same price, USB/Midi config hmmmm interesting might just have to have a look thanks

[quote name='markstuk' post='1307855' date='Jul 18 2011, 02:09 PM']Interesting experience... I'm not sure I would characterise my RH450 as muddy, athough it's not as toppy as the Stac51.. It's certainly brighter than my mates Markbass 210 combo.... Is the RH set flat? and have you played with the input gain? Cheers Mark[/quote] Hi Mark, maybe Muddy is not the word I meant more darkish tone as in less hi-fi than the Markbass. I ran both side by side in different environments with the same cabs for months, the Markbass sounded louder and less compressed even with the compression turned all the way down on the RH450. I really did try to get to like it but hearing them side by side is night and day, my tone was the MB, depends on your music style I suppose, I just like how the TC thinks of everything.

[quote name='lapolpora' post='1307666' date='Jul 18 2011, 12:03 PM']RH450 user here. I've never used Markbass but other bass playing friends of mine do. What is it about the Markbass sound that you like? What is it about the TC sound that you don't like? I'm using a Markbass Super Booster on my pedalboard. This has the VLE and VPF on it. I don't know how far it approximates the Markbass head - but going into the RH450 which is set flat, it does sound good. I use the VLE more than the VPF - for a sort of instant vintage.[/quote] Hi when comparing them side by side, they are very different, the Markbass is clearer, plays better with an outboard distortion pedal and is very good with the RS cabs but I found the RH450 a bit muddy, very good if you were playing Reggae or Dub but if I wanted that high glassier sound I couldn't achieve it. Not saying the RH450 is bad far from it just a totally different tone.

The sickening thing is I sold mine 2 years ago for £125 was thinking that they were going to be reissued

I used to own a TC Electronics RH450 and a Markbass LMK at the same time, I was originally going to sell the LMK to pay for the TC as I wanted it to match my 3 TC cabs and also the features were amazing, built in tuner / store 3 settings / compressor / para EQ / tubetone. I had all these in various forms on a board in front of me so it saved a huge amount of space as well as lugging around another box. Trouble was the sound from the RH450 was not to my liking, I much preferred the sound of the Markbass as well as the 2 inputs (even though I don't think TC E do such a thing) Now what I am asking has anyone tried or A/Bd a Markbass to other TC Electronics heads? I miss not having all the pedals in the head.
