Very nice

Just the one, but she is the first ever bass I got back in the 70's.................but not too worn I'm afraid

I hope you said thank you

I met Trevor Boulder when doing the Midnight Sun festivals in Lapland back in '85. He was playing in Uriah Heep at one of the festivals we were playing at and we had a drink in their trailer after their set. He was a real nice person despite me suffering from 'foot in the mouth' at the time

Cool, I used to visit the Ozarks at weekends. Hope you enjoy your stay on the site

[i]i had one of his metal tops back in the '80's and stupidly swapped it for a PRS. The engraving was done by Danny O'Brien, did he work at the gunsmiths? I went round to his house a few times in the Medway Towns and he showed me the Bi-plane he was building in his garage!!!! A true ecentric and thoroughly engaging personality with his many stories - the one i liked best was of George Harrison leaving a crate of Champagne outside his door in place of the milk with a note asking him to sort his acoustic out 'it's behind the bin'.....

Welcome, where abouts in Missouri are you from. I was in Kansas City from 2005 through to 2008

Yep, my thumb clocks in a just over 9lb and the body is tiny in comparison to my other basses

Wow, seems I'm being tainted with bleating by having a view. For the record I'm not bleating, just making what I feel is a valid point. One of the key 'measures' I use when buying cabs is based on not having the amplifier output greater than the cabs rated power handling. Others may not, but I do. Unless I'm totally wrong, I don't believe stating an amp sounds like 'n' watts' qualifies as a valid power rating in this context. So, for this very reason I believe that TC Electronic are wrong in the way they present the power rating for their amplifiers. For the record I'm not talking about pints (never had), and I have not (or ever had) stated I feel I have been cheated. I own a RH450 and a Classic and I use them as my main gigging rig. However, that does not stop me thinking that TC are wrong in the way they have marketed their amps. There you go, I'm now ready for the return rant...............

They delivered an amp that can beat many 500 watt amps for volume so what should they do? That's not "cheating" or "lying" anymore than saying Special K is going to make you look like a super model or you “wont pay a penny” if you loose a no win no fee court case![/font][/color][/size][color=#222222][font=Arial][size=1][/size][/font][/color] [size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial] [/font][/color][/size][color=#222222][font=Arial][size=1][/size][/font][/color] [size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]If TC had sold their amp as 250 watts "but louder than that" many/most people wouldn't have even looked at them.

If the spec sheet means more than what comes out of the speaker cab then I reckon there are a lot of bass players that should take up a different hobby.[/font][/color][/size][color=#222222][font=Arial][size=1][/size][/font][/color] [size=4][font=Arial] [/font][/size][font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font] [/quote] I'm not so sure. TC both rated and advertised their amps as 450 watts and, clearly, this was done knowing it to be factually incorrect. I agree that watts is a measure that, alone, does not give a accurate view as to the 'loudness' of the amp. Much of this is down to many other variables, such as speaker impedance, amount of square footage of speaker displacement, cab design etc. However, Watts are a scientific measure and should be used as such - I wonder how many people have purchased more expensive cabs on the premise that they required the extra power handling to 'be safe' using the RH450? I notice that since the 'cat is out of the bag', for want of a better term, there is now an explanation of the basis of how TH calculate their wattage. This shows that the true 'wattage' output of the RH750 is 450 watts (4 ohms) and 225 (8 ohms) - so now I understand this I know there will be no need to upgrade my Bergantino HT112/EX112 cabs if I chose to upgrade to the RH750, something I would previously have considered.

You should check out a Musicman Sterling - second hand ones can be got for as little as £600. You should consider a lightweight 1x12 cab for (IMHO) the best compromise between portability, volume and low end - adding a second when you are able to get transport gives a real big sound.
