TecAmp - Where are they?

[LukeFRC]

Possibly thinking of selling up my Tecamp rig, am I going to regret it?

(Disclaimer, this isn't a cheeky sales post, and i'm fully paid up on here anywho.. )

[AKAK]

k50: and how are you finding it so far?

[k50]

I'm really pleased with it so far . I haven't had a chance to use it with a band yet but that should be rectified next week ( been busy at work ).

Sound wise , its great flat with a slight upper mid boost quite similar to a MB F1 and with the taste control slightly to the right ( rich) it produces a lovely deep tone yet still retains all the detail.
It does seem to have a steep high pass filter reducing extreme lows , not necessarily a bad thing .Its also extremely fast like most class d amps.

Yes its certainly powerful , not in the same league as my TC Blacksmith , but as a back up that fits in my gig bag its brilliant.

I bought a GB shuttlemax 9.2 earlier this year and sold it quickly , i know everybody rates these highly but not my cup of tea.
I also owned an EBS 660 , great amp but the puma is a fraction of the size with more power , similar quality tone . Half the price new !!

Owned various rigs over the years , Trace ,Eden ampeg pro4 ,MB FI, LMII,Ashdown ( caught fire after half an hour ).
The Puma will definitely be staying along with the Blacksmith not to mention my gen.2 Barefaced big babies. ( probably order a gen 3 big twin soon )

Hope thats useful,

Roger.

[/quote] how do you find the puma and the barefaced go together?

[k50]

They work well together but I'll know more once I start playing again . The mp3 and headphones are really useful , built in tuner/mute switch would be the icing on the cake .
I had been using a cheaper lead and lighter strings but switching to my normal gauge plus evidence audio cable did make a massive improvement .
Certainty reiterates the point of using top class instruments and amps and using mediocre leads .

[LukeFRC]

ooh I don't have an mp3 in or headphones out. but got a mute switch!

I have a L115 cab winging its way to me at the moment.

Any ideas where I can get a cover from for it? Roqsolid don't seem to have one listed.

Cheers

Roqsolid will make you a cover if you send them a set of measurements.

[Guest monsterthompson]

not to take away from this site, but there is lots of love and discussion surrounding the TecAmp gear on the TalkBass forum, including a huge dedicated thread to their gear. I had a Puma 900 and a Jag 900; each was quite nice. There are a fair number of youtube video reviews of their products, too.

I may have to go down that route I think. Cheers

I got a puma 900 from thomann a couple of months ago,great pairing with my barefaced super12,.genz amps are great, but the puma is still a cut above in my opinion.very clean,super fast as you'd expect.sounds amazing with the wals!!

[pepe1001]

First time I see this. Sorry...

We are finally working on the issue with shops in the UK.
I am the sales dir for TecAmp Benelux and working on it as we speak.
If you have any questions please send a pm or to my e-mail address peterpaul @ tecamp.de

One of the problem is its all RRP, TecAmp dictate the selling price, discount at your peril and your pocket.
[/quote] If that is true them Tecamp are breaking the law. Once you sell on a product you cannot dictate its selling price and you cannot take sanctions against a desler or agent for any reason other than non payment of goods..

[Oldman]

doctor bass in Spain has some Blackface (Neo) cabs in at a discount and Session Music still seem to be selling "B" stock Neo at a discount.

That flies in the face of my initial post regarding discount.

I like Tecamp kit
