just sold steff my TRB 1006 and he collected it the same day. Really nice guy, and a pleasure to deal with cheers dude.

does this thread really still need to be open? lol. everyone is aware of the fact the amp isn't actually 450W, and now the arguments are just going in circles.

yea, i did notice that, does the rh450 have an fxloop? cos there isn't any info on that on the tc website.

ah brilliant the only thing that makes me unsure of whether the rh450 or the bh500 would be better is the weight difference, and the fact that the rh450 has the parametric eq. but having never used an amp with more than bass, hi and lo mids and treble, i don't know whether it would be all that useful to me

thanks! What is the build quality like? I tried one out today, but forgot to try out the rh450 to compare. I absolutely loved the bh500, and am very interested in getting one. now just the decision of what cab config to get

I have been following the discussions, yes, and I have to say that it doesn't really bother me. I am far more concerned with the build quality, tone and sound of what I buy when it comes to bass gear, than how it has been marketed, because I am fully aware that quite alot of companies twist the truth in their marketing ads/campaigns etc. But this is a discussion for the other thread, so let's not derail this one, haha I was mainly wondering whether there is any difference in the things like the spectracomp and tubetone controls between the two heads?

I have to say, there are some very amusing posts in here (although none will match the shear stupidity of some of those on tb, haha). I would just like to say that I tried out both the BH500 and the RH450 today at a music store in Guildford, and they were both very nice, very well made, amazing sounding heads. They are a million miles above the Ampeg PF series. Now I fall very nicely into the camp that isn't really bothered by what the actual wattage rating is, because the quality and volume of the sound are far more important than a number on a piece of paper to me. Yes I agree it could have been marketed better, and in a clearer way, and if you want to be all ethics minded, then I can see why you might be a bit let down by TC. But in the end it doesn't really make much of a difference, as it is just as powerful as a 450W head, and as I am not someone who gets a hard-on over power ratings, this news doesn't really bother me. (/flameshield up )

also, (and I apologise for the double post), are there any major differences between the bh500 and the rh450? cheers

hey, cheers for the replies so far. I would love to be able to head up to Warwick, but my only means of transport is the train, and bassdirect is a long way from the station does anyone have any thoughts on the 410 vs 2x212? Cheers

Hey BCers I have been looking into getting one of the new TC Electronics BH500 Bass heads, and I was wondering what people thought about it, and more specifically whether anyone on here had one and wouldn't mind me possibly testing it out for a bit? (I am willing to travel to you and bring my bass with me.) cheers Adam EDIT: I am based in Oxford.
