you sure that wasn't the OP?

Guessing he probably managed to work it out when the last post was posted 10 years ago 😂

Yeh, they lost my EHB1505 when I sent it back. Well, I suppose to be fair it was Hermes, but they were no help

The OP needs the money to get a camera obviously!

Sure it will be fine, just a bit bitter of my couple of months dealing with them this year

That would certainly be impressive if you could count on them delivering it

Thats one heavy towel!

you can get cabinet corners that only protrude slightly on the front edge. I got something from ebay for something I was working on that wasn't anywhere near as far forward than that. I wouldn't want anything protruding that much, not because I would be worried about my fingers, just because I am not that tidy and that could catch on stuff.

I just use the Animoon cheepies (there are many with different names, but all looking the same), generic Chinese things. They weigh nothing, they are usb rechargeable, cost about £20. They are great for around the house. Or would be if I could remember where I put them!

Its a 4 only though.

So where is the TB75 then? Would it kill them to do a 5 string one?

Apparently now I look according to the internet, someone claimed they did have active pre-amps in them, but they also worked without a battery (which would of course make that first statement seem unlikely). Either way there is a wiring diagram for an active passive switch. https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-many-guitars-so-little-time/1125565-modding-epiphone-thunderbird-pro.html I so wanted a 5 string thunderbird I am still interested in the Dingwall (but I would have to hear it first)

That would work - they are Gibson T-Bird pickups, just coils of wire which go to a blend pot, then to a volume pot, then to a preamp which has bass and treble. They are not active pickups.

Was a bit surprised when it turned up today: Luckily it was the right thing, I guess they just ran out of boxes so used a hofner bass box!

I would love a Gibson Thunderbird V and spent ages looking for one, but sadly all I could find is that studio one, which to me (like with you and the Epi), it isn't a thunderbird. I don't know why they never did one, except well, gibson and basses.

Would add that today, Anytune have a 33% off on anytune pro for the desktop and iOs.

Agreed it is easier to do with a signal an octave lower than the speaker was designed to handle. Maybe when TC made the RH750 and matching cab they thought that they might be used together? As I said, all of what you are saying is true for other amps and other speakers, and I have no questions on that. The RH750 has Active power management (that it is often slagged off for) which means it will never produce more than 35V (see attached) without clipping (as it peaks), and it has (according to talk bass where it was tested - I have no other sources) a 2nd order HPF starting at 70Hz at 12dB/Octave. It is incapable of producing a 'signal an octave lower than the speaker was designed to handle' as literally the speaker was designed to handle the output of the RH750. Add as a caveat to that, the HPF is only in the power amp, so if you take the output from the DI or the preamp out, and put that through an amp, then yes you really can damage it. I don't see there is much point adding anything else to this, although seeing as the TC RH amps are very common and most of the time paired with the RH cabs, I am obviously happy to see links to all the 'my amp broke my speaker' threads that must exit. To the OP, don't put any bass into any speaker, as apparently it is far too risky as none of them can handle it. tc450 stats.pdf

Yes, I just checked, turned out the speaker is an 8 ohm, I was thinking it was a 4. So I doubt it can get over 200w. Sure, you can't guarantee anything, maybe there is a manufacturing defect, or maybe you are going to find its resonant frequency and leave it running for a few hours. If you are determined to do a thing you can probably do it. But as I said, it is not something I would worry about at all if it was equipment I had paid for. But you pays your money, you takes your choice.

you wouldn't need new pickups (and I assume like the other neck thru epiphones, they are gibson pickups), just take the preamp out, take the battery out, and wire the output from the blend to the output socket.

Just think how bad you would feel if someone did buy it?

Exactly my point

Agreed, but that is just common sense, just because someone puts a sale tag on something, look around to see if it is cheaper. Generally though if you wanted it before the sale, you know how much it cost

OK, so then for the OP it is a data point. I would not think twice about doing it, you would, so it is up to them what they do. The TC power amp has the power management to prevent the power stage clipping, which is what all the fuss and anger about their power ratings comes from.

Some, not all. A lot of shops would be better to not do it, but it depends on your market. That ab600 I bought is a b stock, it has been reduced since their sale last month and I have been interested in it since then. I kept going back and thinking about it, but I didn't buy it (its a lockdown, don't get to use an amp but it is a good deal). But they put a 10% on that, and I did buy it. So in this case it made a sale where one wasn't.
