Thanks everyone. I've rejigged the measurements by a cm or so and it has brought the price down. Thanks DeeDee 👍 I now have the choice of TNT at £40 or UPS at £51. Anyone had any dealings with TNT? Thanks again!

Cheers guys. I had a look at interparcel but UPS comes out around £68 😬 Is this about the going rate?

Hi, I'm trying to arrange a courier to collect a bass for me but the cheapest quote I can get is £41 using Parcelforce. That is with a discount code and insurance added. Any recommendations folks? Cheers 😊

Thank you very much I've put an order through for the MB500 now. What a bargain!

Anyone experienced both amps? Any particular preference? I'm a long time GK user and loved the punch out of my former 700RB. Also interested in the BH550, keen on the idea of warming up my tone. MB Fusion out of my price range unfortunately. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at pairing 2 x 210's up with a micro head such as the TC BH550. So far I've considered the Fender Rumble 210's and the TC K-210's. Portability and weight are of the upmost importance due to a dodgy back. Would love to hear of any more suggestions. Also looking to buy used. Thanks!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1434131158' post='2797061'] Any amp as long as it is all tube, don't believe what some people say about SS gear getting 'close enough'. [/quote] That's the thing, my GK amp has a tube pre-amp section which delivers extremely tubey tones when the gain is pushed, but this little BA 110 sounds great without the tube section. It has a rich tonal quality to it. Has anyone had any experience with the Portaflex series?

Hi So I've recently been going through a major GAS crisis after using GK gear for the best part of 10 years. I've tried out numerous amps with the most recent being the TCE RH450, which I have to say sounded pretty nice to my ears. But still, nothing has been able to cut it like my existing GK rig in a band setting. My reason for contemplating a change is to 'warm' up my tone. I'd been advised to try the VT pedal from tech 21 & run it with my GK amp which seemed to be the way to go... until the BA 110v2 turned up. I love the tone from this thing!!! It has a tonne of growl with a great EQ section & holds it's own well in a live environment albeit not powerful enough to gig with. My situation now is GK + VT pedal or all out move to Ampeg? And if so, which amp?

Hi Andy. Thank you for the offer although i'm hoping to buy new for warranty/finance options. Glad to know you guys rate the head so highly. I absolutely loved the tone from the BG250-112 so i'm hopeful for this new setup. I also hope to try out a RH450 in due course as well.

Thanks, I'm hoping so. I've tried out the BH Combi's and loved the tone. Hoping to get something similar in separates. Just hope it has plenty of power.

Brilliant, thanks! Hoping to just use the 1 x 112 for rehearsing and the 2 x 112's for gigging so that's great.

Hi I'm considering purchasing a TCE BH550 and 2 x RS112 cabs rated at 8 ohms each. My concern is that TCE states that the amp must run at '4 ohms minimum', does that mean I must have both cabs connected at all times or can I run the head with one cab at 8 ohms as well? Thanks!

Great. Thanks for the replies : ) I'll have a look into the recommended effects. I actually tired a radical overhaul of the EQ at a recent gig and achieved a much warmer sound by pushing the gain to around 1 o'clock and cut back the high mids to 9 o'clock. Everything else pretty much flat. Very much improved!

Passive Lakland 44-60.

Hi Just after a little advice. I currently gig with a GK Fusion 550 and a GK Neo 212 cab. I'm having difficulty achieving a degree of warmth in my tone. My sound is quite raw and gnarly. I would like to achieve a warmer sound but not sure where to turn. I love the set up as it has more power than I ever need in live situations. Any recommendations on effects/compressors etc..? I go directly into the amp at present. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments! I tried the OBT out over the weekend with the Neo 212 and was amazed at the volume of the amp. You're right, 4 & 4 was pretty much bang on. Unfortunately the amp didn't cut as much as my Fusion 550 and I was unable to replicate the growl I get form my existing set up. The amp itself is great though, a very earthy bottom end with tonnes of warmth, also a great match for the Neo 212. I can think of lots of situations where it would fit in perfectly but at present I need that cut I only seem to be able to get from my GK.

I'm with you now. Thanks for the advice!

What would be the hazards, if any, of running a 4 pole Speakon between a 2 pole amp socket and a 4 pole cab socket? Could it damage the amp?
