Interesting replies - thank you very much! So upgrading from a 500watt to an 800watt rated 410 won't allow me to go louder? That's disappointing, because I'm not sure the missus will be happy with two 410's in the house! Maybe the 410 + 210 (both 8 ohm) is the answer. I'll do some research! Thanks!

Hello After playing in a large venue (for us anyway) at the weekend, I've decided it's time to upgrade my TC Electronics BC410 to something with more headroom, to get the most 4 ohm juice out of my TC BH800 head. Question is, do I go for two TC K-Series 2x10 or 2x12's (in series?) and stack them, or opt for something like the Markbass 104HF (4 ohm) rated at 800w. My budget is around £750, and we play a mix of rock, pop and indie covers with my sound ranging from super clean to gritty to fuzz/synth octave silliness. I love the sound of 4x10's with a tweeter. Any advice would be great!

The observations on the performance of my P and J were for context. Apologies for the confusion. I think I need a cab with a tweeter.

Thanks for the replies - very interesting reading. To clarify: [list] [*]I've tried the TC head with a couple of other tweetered cabs and I think that's what I'm missing. [*]Both my P and J basses are fitted with SD Quarterpounders. [*]The Super Twin's usable frequency range is 37Hz - 4kHz - is this why I'm not getting the 'zing' I'm looking for? The super Midget goes up to 20kHz - will this make a difference? [/list]

Hello all - I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I currently run a TC Electronic BH800 into a Barefaced Super Twin. I love the amp, and at 4 ohms I get the full juice which is great as I play in quite a loud rock covers band. For some time though, I've been missing a bit of 'zing' that I think the Super Twin might be lacking. I play a Precision which punches through the mix brilliantly, but I find my Jazz gets lost in rehearsals. What clinched it recently was when we played a small festival last weekend. I had to play through an old Trace Elliot 4x10 combo and it sounded.....AMAZING!! Really punchy and gritty (and more hi-fi at the same time) and the band (and me) totally loved it! So my question is - what do I do? I'm sure that at a year old, I can probably sell my Super Twin for a decent amount (they're £900 delivered). So do I need to go back to a 4x10? What I love about the Barefaced... It's really loud It's really light It's not too big (fits into the back of my Mini easily) It's 4ohms so gets the most from my amp Can anyone give me any advice? I don't really want to go back to heavy 4x10's Thanks, Sam

Here's my source of bass fun (although my neighbours not so much). 'None More Black' Fender Mex Jazz with Babicz bridge, Quarterpounders, Tusq nut and Schaller tuners. TC Electronic BH800. Barefaced Super Twin. Bring the noise!! Sam
