Mog Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Great heads. We played with Diamond Head a few months back and Eddie was using one of these. Easily one of the cleanest bass tones I've come across. Let us know how you get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Snap...well almost. My replacement is coming direct from TC and should be here anyday now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Been blasting it all day. And I'm loving it's cleanness and high end. Running it flat it's got more bass than the Markbass LMTube (good comparison as it's roughly the sane price) After all that fussing over tube pre, I don't know what I was worried about, it's got plenty "dynamics" and that's with out any tubetone. It's all very usuable and the spectracomps lights make it very informative. Best bass head ever... Well it has my vote anyway. Pics to follow!

niceguyhomer Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm loving mine now after getting to know it better. It's great for practising too with headphones and an MP3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you are probably advised not to cain the volume on full all the time, but I doubt you'd need to. The sheer height of them stacked usually means I'm turning down quite a lot.

Prime_BASS Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Indeed. More watts to me just means than you are reaching the maximum volume displacement(if that's the right term) sooner on the master volume. The 750 with one TC cab would be outputting around 400watts and I'm sure they would sell something and say it can be used with current cabs if they have the potential to over load them.

Musicman20 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I thought there was a substantially loud click between the mute going on and off, through the cab it was quite loud. TC told me there will be some clicking, but to be safe I requested a replacement. My rh450 was always silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence 3 8ohm TC cabs can be used. Does not work for non TC cabs. I could be talking rubbish but came from a source who sells the gear.

If so, it's the only bass I've had longer than a year and I dont even have a a thought about possibly selling, I don't think anyone would want it do to cosmetic damage but it sounds amazing, best ray ever, but I'm biased. I just want to comment on the spectracomp. Even though it is built in and a 1 knob job, it's the best compressor I've ever tried. The LEDs gives you so much info; weather you are adding to much compression or not enough, when it's compressing, when it's not. It's great! To set the right amount of compression. Ifi can video it and upload I'll post a link as it's very clever. It also doesn't kill the high end when compressing the lows keeping dynamics and importantly your sound intact. Very amazing head. Hope you start enjoying yours G as much as I am mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yep, agreed. For those who want a very well designed simple compressor, it is very very VERY good. Im extremely impressed with the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I get to use this setup this Friday at rehearsal so will get a chance to hear it at volume with the guys. Looking forward to it. I'm surprised they haven't taken this 1 knob spectracomp and put it in a pedal, keeping the LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, a 2 knob compressor would be good (my Markbass one has 5!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
