  1. Hey Jamie! Owen (Bangor)
  2. Rats, I had actually trawled but but was looking for 750 info so missed both those threads. How embarrassing. The fact that I cannot make 8+8+8 = 2.67 tells you all you need to know about my enhanced knowledge of impedance. I just fancy pairing an RH750 with a couple of 4 ohm ACME 12" cabs. My gut feeling is that it should be ok.
  3. TC say that their RH heads will run 3 of their 8 ohm cabs safely. That is 2 ohms. But they cannot guarantee that it will run down to 2 ohms with anyone else's cabs. Would there be anything clever that they will be doing to their cabs to make it guaranteed to be 2 ohms? They say that they can only guarantee 2ohms with their own cabs. Is this marketing spiel?
  4. [quote name='algmusic' post='1255182' date='Jun 3 2011, 10:59 AM']Sold!! Taken by an overly proud owen [/quote] I set them up without a manual. I rule!
  5. Adrian is very cool. You knows it.

    RH 750

    I am far from complete in my knowledege in this field, but I was under the impression that impedance ratings are nominal at best with all sorts of issues affecting what the amp actually 'sees'. Do TC actually do anything clever to their cabs?

    RH 750

    So, this 'only driving down to 2 ohms' with TC cabs. Do TC cabs have special magic in them, or is it just marketing? This and a couple of 4 ohm 1x12" cabs would totally float my boat.
  8. I bought them here because I have to try everything [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=136292"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=136292[/url] They are fine and dandy, but not my flavour. I will post them to you for the original price minus £3.57 for the extra hour of wear on them. New thread, cos after bumping the old one I realised that a thread with SOLD in the title was unlikely to attract much interest from buyers.
  9. They were not for me. If anyone wants them I will post them to you for the original price minus £3.57 for the extra hour of wear on them.
  10. [quote name='markstuk' post='1248408' date='May 28 2011, 04:38 PM']Looks expensive but I suspect he'll relist...

You get the picture As it happens, on reflection, if I still had it I would still be happy with it. I might well have another cab built that was not made of heavy 3/4 inch ply though. Those where the days - when heavy cabs were not an issue. That is no reflection on the driver itself.
  12. I used to have a home built cab with one of these which was built to JBL spec. It was great and dealt with everything I could throw at it.
  13. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba500h.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba500h.htm[/url] Has an aux in which is controlled by the master vol and cost £200 odd. There is a rumour that Paul (pbass67) has one. Can anyone else comment? TIA
  14. Get LeBlond to make one for you.
  15. Lay the bass on it's back on a bed. Loosen the strings enough to unhook the tailpiece from the spike holder. Take the spike holder out. Withdraw spike. Put everything back together with new spike in. WARNING. When the strings are not tight the sounpost might collapse if you move the instrument around. It SHOULD be ok, but it is at your own risk.
  16. I have some Status ones on my Status and they just tone it down nicely. The bass is very alive and the nylons just take the upfront nature off. I like them. They are nice and slide-y as well.
  17. With a whammy bar for pitch bend and a dedicated mod toggle.
  18. I have just bought a You Rock Guitar. I am triggering synths within Logic with no latency. The future is here.
  19. I have been playing at the local Baptist church for the last 26 years. I am in charge of the PA and we all DI. I am located near the sub so all is good
  20. [quote name='MythSte' post='1233812' date='May 16 2011, 11:22 PM']Howa you getting on with the Tecamp Owen? [/quote] The Tecamp is great, but I am doing a complete overhaul of everything and going totally modular. Exciting times
  21. [quote name='Sparky Mark' post='1233753' date='May 16 2011, 10:20 PM']How about the price thing now?[/quote] D'oh! Basic error! I got a bit emotional. £1150 to your door.
  22. Bergantino IP310. This is a 3x10 + proper compression driver horn. It has a 1000w power amp on board with full DSP which means the cab is EQ'd flat. It has compression in the DSP as well for protection and maximising SPL. I hate compression, because I hate not having full control over my dynamics. This is not and never has been an issue here. You just need to add your pre-amp of choice. It speaks with an authority which I have not experienced anywhere else. It just reaches all the way down with a contemptuous ease, as if it is saying "is that the best you have got?". I use it with 5 string bass guitar, 5 string EUB and 5 string Double Bass. It lets them all breathe clearly and easily. The 5 string DB gives it a workout and it does not break a sweat. Is it loud? Yes. Does it sound the same at low volume as it does at high? Yes - the tone remains the same, just louder. Can I make the speakers bottom out and flap? Yes, but by then I am painfully loud and volume wise it is way louder than anything else I have been able to make fart. If it is all that, why am I selling? If it does not sell I will not be sad (and if it does I will miss it), but my needs are changing and I need to free up the £ I have in this to buy different kit. I will do the picture thing soon.
  23. It is silly light, but bigger than I need as my small amp. I am having a radical amp re-assessment and everything is going. The wheels are well designed and trundle along nicely. It is tall enough to be easy to wheel.
