  1. [quote name='Clarky' post='1314269' date='Jul 23 2011, 09:55 PM']Yep, superb sound but definitely old school. I sold mine as at close to 50 pounds it was too much for my glass back[/quote] Mine doesnt get gigged much but the tone is fantastic. Simple, fat, warm, bass tone. Also grinds like a beast should you want hair on your notes.
  2. Ive noticed as soon as I pickup any Stingray my hands just seem to relax, especially for finger style. I feel like I dont have to dig in, despite the fact every bass has the ability to be powerful. Something about that massive forceful tone makes it so easy for to play. I also feel the thumb position over the pickup makes me play exactly where I want. I pickup a P bass, and no doubt I know what Im doing, but the Ray feels right instantly. Maybe its the pickup position/where I rest my hand. Both necks are great, but with a Ray its effortless. Hmm!
  3. If you are going for a one cab solution, and you want a more 'reinforced' tone, Id try the RS212. Very much the same, but a fatter tone...larger volume. I think many were sceptical, including me, but TC did the job well.
  4. All the TC cabs are 8 ohms.
  5. Something doesnt sound right. My Orange is 200 tube watts, and it is a volume MONSTER. Ive practiced with a very loud punk bands, two guitars, half stacks, etc, and I used one cab, the OBC115. I never had the volume over 1/3 on the master.
  6. [quote name='Faithless' post='1311885' date='Jul 21 2011, 06:49 PM']Oh, there's a chance to take TC Electronic RS210 [b]or [/b]112 cheaply enough from my local shop,but are they gonna work ok with Shuttle 3? (i'm total noob on those 'ohms' issues) And, are those TC cabs being taken as 'lightweight'? I lifted them in shop, and they were way too heavy for my 'lightweight' understanding..[/quote] They arent neo but the RS210 is a good weight especially for the size/cost/etc. The RS112 is about the same weight as most normal neo 1x12s.
  7. The RS210 is one of those 'steals' when it comes to performance. When I bought mine, I didnt know exactly what it would look like or what Id make of it compared to my other cabs. I HAD heard one with an RS212 and the RH450, but I didnt get close upto it. I waited for the new finish RS cabs to hit the UK, and Im glad I did. There is a cab/amp expert on Talkbass who has all the high end gear, and he put this RS210 right up there as one of the best 2x10s (despite its lower price compared to the slightly lighter neo loaded cabs). Its pretty light, well made, and the tone is great. It seems to favour a quite clear, low mid focussed tone, with a tight bass response. You wont be lacking in bass though! The best part is the high end. The tweeters are very very smooth (probably the smoothest Ive used) and doesnt have that tacky cheap plasticky treble response you can get from even the most expensive cabinets. Smooth high end, but if you put a lot in, you will get as much snap and modern twang as you want. Nice cabs, a cover is a must!
  8. Get the matching 1x10...and use the monitors/PA.
  9. 200 tube watts is seriously loud...is it all tube?!
  10. Its annoying isnt it! Especially when Ive never had cheaper brands create problems. Ernie Balls are doing it for me at the moment, although I like to flirt with DRs, TIs and D'adaddarios.
  11. How much are these now then?
  12. I must admit that UL115 is very tempting!
  13. Ive just sold mine locally, and strangely picked another up same colour etc! I was going to sell this as well and get a Squier CV P....but im not sure I want to sink £300 into what will be 'backup' bass for me.
  14. £130 for a Tecamp is insane though. The sheer quality of their cabs/amps is excellent.
  15. Double box them. I sent two Aguilar DB212s to Higgie (he arranged the courier) and I used the original boxes.
  16. That is pretty poor. I felt like I was being fobbed off when I tried a few Laklands at GuitarGuitar a while back (eg 'its heavy for a reason, they are all heavy, it sounds better'....)
  17. Id sell it. Personally, I hate modding basses Ive spent a lot on. But thats me and I tend to want things to be right stock, or I dont bother. Bear in mind no matter what magnet it is (ceramic/alnico) a Stingray 5/Sterling 5 can sound very mellow and warm if you drop the treble and boost the bass. Flats will also get you closer.
  18. Did you speak to Neil? Top sevice from Neil on numerous occasions
  19. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='1309250' date='Jul 19 2011, 03:18 PM']Thomanns have these in stock now but the price is £867. Thats about what i paid for a MIA this time last year. Its also £200 dearer than the 50's version.[/quote] Ridiculous! Crazy price.
  20. The TC amps are not hi fi. They can be transparent, and show your good/bad technique, but they are not overly bright/crisp/modern. The 750 does change this a little though. That added tweetertone gives lots of sparkle...more than I need at the moment.
  21. [quote name='Duarte' post='1309129' date='Jul 19 2011, 01:44 PM']Bongo 5HHp = best bass I ever owned.[/quote] Do you still miss your old one?
  22. I think guitarguitar have got too large too fast. I remember looking at buying an 8x10 from them a while back, and spoke to their Scottish outlet. Nice chaps. Now they seem to have LOADS of high end stock, and have really expanded. Quite a risk in this economy.
  23. Good move....thats a fantastic Fender.
