GetYourFunkOut93 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Afternoon Basschatters, I have my brand new bass head, TC Electronic RH750 (so happy with it) I have an Ashdown Neo 410H which is just too heavy and impractical for me and am selling.. I am therefore looking for a new cab for my new head. I have in mind either a 212, 2x 112, 2x 210 or just a combo of them sort of cabs.. Any idea's? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Having heard and demo'd the RH750 with the TC cabs, I'd get their RS210x2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I use 2 of the RS210 cabs and am very happy with it coupled with my RH450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetYourFunkOut93 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 So TC cabs then? What about the RS212's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've heard the TC amps and Heads work best together due to the sensitivity of the cabs and the way the power is put out from their heads - I think their's some limiting involved... But this is a "what cab" thread so I'm gonna have to say get a Barefaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I used my TC Classic 450 with both Ampeg, Marshall, and Eden cabs. The only one I wasn`t keen on was the Marshall. It sounded great through the others - particularly the Ampegs, but then I love Ampeg sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Two RS210s. Done. Great tone, great portabilty, LOTS of punch and plenty of modern sheen or vintage warmth using the tweeter, and the RH750s crazy amount of options. The co-ax tweeter on the RS210s is really nice...it will give you a nice sparkly high end, but not that awful cheap plasticky high end. Have them vertical or horizontal, or even just vertical next to each other. Oh, and the prices are just about right. The euro means they are getting cheaper. I've had a fair few cabs in my time and the price/weight/tone ratio is spot on with these. They obviously match very well with the RH450/750. I had an RS212, and I liked its thick low mids with a little more 'umpph' and fatness down low, but ultimately, I didn't need three TC cabs so I sold it to get a Genz Shuttlemax 9.2, and kept the matching RS210s.

GetYourFunkOut93 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Would it be better either two 210's or two 212's TC cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm pretty sure Dawsons have a 2 for 1 deal on the TC cabs. (although I didn't like the sound of them so much - but that's all done to personal preference). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Depends on your tone goals and space. Two RS212s WOULD sound 'bigger', but they are heavier and more awkward to carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 How about a nice Schroeder 21012? A light loud and punchy single cab solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I can vouch for a tc head with a berg AE212. Berg cabs are beautifully made and sound gorgeous. I'm keen to hear why you don't like Barefaced cabs tho. If it's aesthetics I totally agree as i think the rippled cab finish is awful and cheap looking. Sound wise tho they have a cab for all situations, can be ridiculously loud and the sound quality is excellent. Oh and holy crap they're unbelievably light.

Our cabs cost quite a lot more than when we started out (the rising cost of neodymium plus fancier models plus VAT) and the vast majority of customers now rave about how good they look despite the higher price. They still sound awesome and they're still very portable. But aesthetically, there has been massive progress - which shouldn't be surprising when you consider how everything about the business has changed!
