  1. Good news. Now to start saving for the second cab. Do you know how good you would sound with 2 SC's?
  2. I can't see a price. How much?
  3. Any 112 cab would do for home use. Every manufacturer has one but, depending on the make, maybe 1 wouldn't be enough. The only single 112 cab I'd try to gig with would be a Barefaced. Could you keep the 410 in the garage and get a BF One10 for the house?
  4. Ok, I can play around with other options. . . . . but I still think the unread content function is incorrectly defined at the system level. Cheers
  5. Chaps, When I click on unread content I get the list up. That's good. Then I want to read those posts and sometimes reread them but the list seems to get redriven/renewed every time I come out of a post. That's not good because it is effectively a new list every time. By redriving the list the post I just read drops out, it would it's no longer unread but that means I can't pop back in to the post and reread something. Old posts are disappearing off the list and new posts are appearing every time. I just want to hit the unread content button and get a list. I want to go into any number of posts any number of times on that list and only get a new list when I hit the unread content button again. Is this user error or the way the system is set up? If it is the system can it be changed to give us a list which is only updated when the unread content button is hit. Sorry if that's not very clear. Let me know and I'll try to re explain. Cheers Chris
  6. I've used the Maplin foam/alu cases for all my D Class amps for years.
  7. Don't count, but automatically feel the pulse and the beats of the bar. Especially the 1.
  8. Check out the foam filled aluminium cases from Maplin. I use these for all my D class amps. https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/flight-case-with-foam-n70ap?cmpid=ppc:pim_products:pla:google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr__l74651wIVAvEbCh0GwQzDEAQYAyABEgJJ9fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
  9. Slow the lines down to a speed that you can play. Work out short sections. Gradually put the sections together and then speed up. In many paces you don't have to play all of the notes, use short cuts. It's called developing your own style. Everyone does it.
  10. Well they're British but what have most of these guys got to do with Rock? No mention of Deep Purple or the guys who started the genre, Jeff Beck Group? Cream?
  11. Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers was one of the many British soul bands playing the clubs in the 60's. Along with Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, Geno Washington, Zoot Money and Herbie Goins etc. These were high energy Ike Turner type bands (without Tina) playing James Brown, Stax, Atlantic and some New Orleans music. It was always a great night when you went to see one of these bands. Cliff was different in that he had at least one hit with a Beatles song, Got To Get You Into My Life, I believe. I think I've got the 45 somewhere. Cliffs organist was Roy Young who fronted his own band in the early 70's.
  12. I usually listen to music in the context of learning something for a band. For me playing is the object, the self-indulgent part. As long as the guys in the band are good players I'm happy to play what's needed for the gig.
  13. Tapewound strings on an active bass will be OK-ish, but IMO makes it sound more like a passive P bass so defeats the object of an active J. Louis Johnson and Bernard Edwards did some of their best work on Stingray's with tapewounds so it's all down to what you like.
  14. [quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1510062993' post='3403641'] I think my next major cable order will be placed with OBMM. [/quote] OBBM's more handsome brother?
  15. [pedant] Recorded originally by the Miracles, secondly by Marvin Gaye, then by Gladys Knight, who had the first single release and hit.[/pedant]
  16. Good choice. Grapevine has always been one of my Desert Island Discs. As is Spoonful by Howlin Wolf and Reeling In The Years, which I heard for the first time in a limo rolling down the freeway from LAX to Sunset Strip. Hearing real music on a daytime radio station for the first time. That was early 1973.
  17. [quote name='Yank' timestamp='1510047258' post='3403398'] Just picked up some. I hear a difference. Better tone across the spectrum. In my mind worth the ducats. What say you? [/quote] I think good cables are worth the money but the really stupid high prices for the very high spec cables are not for me. I can't hear whatever it is they bring.
  18. I buy my cables from one of the guys here on Basschat. So do a lot of us. You'll see a lot of recommendations for OBBM cables. http://bassic-bits.co.uk/ You could drop him a line for more info.
  19. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1509987285' post='3403063'] Speaking from experience my RH750 ran 3 8 ohm Bergantino cabs on loud gigs over several months. [/quote] I did that because the Staccato and RH750 were finally listed by TC as being good to 2.67 ohms. Therefore my logic was they can run 3 of anyone's cabs. And they did.
  20. Speaking from experience my RH750 ran 3 8 ohm Bergantino cabs on loud gigs over several months.
  21. I know a player with an RH750 and an RS210 and RS112. He sounds pretty good and very loud. TC have suggested rigs with their 210 and 112 or 210 and 212. I used my Staccato with 2 Berg 112's. Bass Direct have an RS212 and an RS112 for sale n their used section. The Staccato is focussed at the bassier end of the EQ spectrum so I'd probably try another 210. More 10's might be punchier. The Staccato will go to 2.67 ohms so you can use 3 8 ohm cabs. All TC RS cabs are 8 ohm.
  22. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1509912484' post='3402584'] Personally I think Brian could have gotten more.[/quote] Brian Epstein was a terrible manager. Some US business men came over to see him to negotiate a deal for providing Beatles merchandise. The first thing Epstein said was "we won't accept anything less than 7 1/2%." These guys were expecting to start haggling at around 30%. Epstein was totally out of his depth from day 1.
  23. Keep your amp and replace the cabs. I use my gigging amps (TH500 and AG700) and a BF One10. That's about the size of one of our cushions.
