Ah, just seen your tabs - London, our thrubbing metropolis

Just a thought, but it might help the fair bassists in this community if you give us a clue as to which part of our sceptred isle the band is twanging in...

I can only echo the sentiments of previous posters - Chris was the perfect seller. Not only did he agree to take payment for the lovely Zoot fretless he sold me in two instalments but he regularly dropped me a line to touch bass (whooaahh - puntastic!) in the interim - sometimes about the deal, sometimes just to chat about bassy stuff. A great guy and a fantastic advert for BC; I wouldn't hestitate to deal with him again. Mark

Thank the Lord for Basschat and its intimidatingly generous and caring members!

Real pity you guys aren't slightly closer (I'm over in Chester) as I'd love to have auditioned for you. Still, happy hunting all the same. Mark

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1316791067' post='1383007'] RH450 and Barefaced S12T .. Match made in heaven...And it's 4 ohm...And it looks like TC have fessed up and have said the RH450 is stable into 2.5 ish Ohms so you could always add another midget T or Compact.. But personally what I've got is quite loud enough... [/quote] + 1 for this combo. Sounds killer with my Zoot Chaser.

Well done, gents. Even I'm finding my way around pretty easily - and I'm a complete changeaphobic! Looking good.

Sounds like an interesting project. I'll be keeping my eye on this one...

Steve's done some work for me too - absolutely top guy who does a really good job. He's over in Birkenhead - a 25 minute zip down the M53.

Just noticed that this thread has consecutive members - Bloodaxe and Mike - posting. How coincidental is that?! Out of 20,000-odd BC-ers!

Yeah, I played this for a short while in our set too. I seem to remember the bass part feeling kind of fat and slow, which smacked of dropped tuning to me at the time - Eb would make sense then on a 4 string. I don't think we bothered and just did it in E though. It's got one nice little lick in it, I think, but boring as hell apart from that - IIRC.

OBBM. Would not now buy anything else. And for those who - like me - had cables originally made up with the Van Damme cable, I can strongly reccommend having another made up with the Klotz cable that Dave is now offering. I thought the difference was quite significant. Pip pip! BC

2 wheels and tilt back with a handle. They are fixed over the rear angle and at the same height resting as the front feet. You just tilt it back and away you go! I think someone posted photos from an earlier review with a comment that they were a work or art in thelves (or something!). It's absolute piece of cake to move anywhere.

[quote name='stenobass' post='1262803' date='Jun 9 2011, 03:25 PM']Hi there, last Tuesday I collected my RH450 and had a go with my Status basses at home. I do not know what my neighbours think...BUT I must say that this little beast sounds great! I have the impression that my basses sound more natural than through my (now ex-)Markbass TA501 which is a great amp, but seems now a bit harsh compared to the RH450. The TC is maybe not so loud and you have to crank the highs a bit to get that nice high end zing, but has a more organic sound, at least to my ears. This may be also due to the 2 small EBS Neo cabs (110 & 112) I use with the head and this could change using different cabs, but I am extremely happy so far. The footswitch is another great addition too. Will update my review once I gigged it! Any suggestions regarding the ideal cabs for the RH450? need something very light and portable, I am looking at the TC RS112, has anyone tested these yet? Cheers, Stefano[/quote] Stefano, I use my RH450 with a Barefaced Super Twelve T (2x12) and couldn't be happier. The cab weighs in at a little over 40lbs and, together with the amp, is the finest sounding combination I've owned in thirty years of playing. Got mine made with the 'old skool' silver cloth option and it looks the dog's too!
