Jigster Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Bass Direct is only down the road from me so I'm always vulnerable! I've been looking for a well made affordable rig and this seems to fit the bill. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/BH500+Cabinets.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...0+Cabinets.html[/url] Mark and I were saying that the new BH amp and BC cab range seems to have crept in under the radar and there's not been much chat about them - more it would appear about the RH750 and Blacksmith. But this seems to be perfect for my modest needs and a great alternative to the pricier TC products. Have only used at 'back room' volumes as of yet, but I'll use it in rehearsals very soon and have a clearer idea of how it works in the mix etc, but it seems on the face of it to have a very clean and unvoiced sound and the amp is straining at the leash to let rip. The 500 watts into the 4ohm cab promises much. Head £375 Cab £375 All in for £750 - a real bargain. I hope. Will update more when used in anger.

Musicman20 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 That is a bargain! Especially the amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So are these the pre section from the RH but with a non class D output transformer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 yes I believe so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 This range from TC represents a really great value way of getting into some serious 21st Century bass amplification IMHO! It utilises a similar pre amp section of the new RH and Blacksmith amps with a few less bells and whistles, but the same open/natural tone, the cabs are also excellent and also very light for ceramic cabs. A real bargain - don't tell everyone..................... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulflan0151 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Been looking at these myself. Anyone A/B with a RH classic etc. Be interesting to know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citymariner Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sure it will sound up to the usual TCE stuff - sure as hell not as good looking though as the RH range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
