    I hate to say this, and this is all based on actually listening instead of the science, but there aren't any 1x15s you can replace a decent 4x10 with. If you want that much punch and volume, get a 4x10, or at least get a high end 2x12. Aguilar/Tecamp/Epifani and Bergantino are the best bet. Its better to save and get a high end 4 ohm cab with your description you gave of what you need.

    Officially for sale. Immaculate condition and comes with 8 spare brand new Bergantino corners. Also has new padded Berg cover. The larger casters are also fitted, so no problems with weight. The carpet covering is much better quality than standard covering, and is still immaculate with no fluffing. Offers via PM please. Genuine reason for sale, just deposited a posh apartment in London. I do not need 6 cabs! Especially all this size. It is fantastic. It may not be lightweight, but it is incredibly small for such a massive sounding 4x10. It is very easy to get on small stages due to the fantastic size and heavy duty removable casters. In my experience, you just cannot get the sheer huge grunt a ceramic speaker gives you, and these ceramic speakers in this cabinet are excellent. Fits in the boot of a VW Polo no probs. Everyone is aware Bergantino are probably the best bass cabinets manufactured today. This model is the High Sensitivity 4x10, which means every watt you put in is squeezed out into a very loud volume. Even the lower wattage tube amps sound massive through this. It has 800w peak, which is a hell of a lot! In addition, the horn is fully adjustable and has a huge range. Turn it off for vintage tone, or half way for a more modern crisp high end tone. The cabinet is front ported. Another Bergantino characteristic is that this cabinet let's you hear your amp and bass as it should be heard. It is very neutral and very very articulate! The price is basically as it is due to purchasing new corners (still brand new and not yet fitted) for the cabinet and a virtually brand new cover from a chap on Talkbass who had a newish one spare. I am aware obviously people will want to haggle as well. The corners on the cabinet at the moment are actually fine, apart from a few minor scuffs on the bottom ones, but I’m a perfectionist so I bought 8 spare. I am looking for £610 (reduced again) ONO. These retail at £929 with a cover. I have had a few people very interested in it already. If it does not go for the price I would like, I would still be very happy to keep it as it is a fantastic piece of bass equipment. www.bergantino.com Link: [url="http://www.bergantino.com/images/hs410h_web.jpg"]http://www.bergantino.com/images/hs410h_web.jpg[/url] I am based in NE Lincs, not far from Hull or Sheffield. Not that far from Leeds as well. I dont mind meeting half way for a contribution to fuel. If it helps the cab can be in London from Jan 10th onwards. Payment via cash, or bank transfer. SOLD! Thanks

    I'm tempted by the brown to match my Aggies

    [quote name='Bass Culture' post='675062' date='Dec 5 2009, 04:35 PM']Thanks - since picking this up and using it regularly my mission has been to find one of the Class D/Lightweights that gives me something like the tone of the Trace, it sounds that great. Anyway, I'm hoping the Rebelhead, with it's four band semi-parametric EQ, is going to be the answer.[/quote] I'm doing the same and going for the rh! I'm very excited!

    Fantastic price ! I had the 400 watt version and it was damn damn good! Very loud and crisp amps. Good luck with the sale.

    Tecamp

    Musicman20 replied to JimGavin's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I still love my m212. Gas is getting thebetter of me though. I've changed my shuttle 9 order for an rh450. Now I'm looking at the rs cabs but the tecamp would have to be sold. I'm probably best sticking with the m212.
  13. Musicman20
    +1 for the seafoam / maple
  14. Musicman20
    Oh man that's bad news! I do the same as a lot of players... Put my belt buckle way out of the way above my left hip. I'm thinking of getting one of those pads Clarky uses!

    I always want to go down but I'm still right up north until January! Enjoy

    After hearing amps / cabs by both, Aguilar wins hands down.

    I'm awaiting a punk revival, as in a revival of the mid 90s melodic punk that was incredibly quick, tight, and quite technical. No use for a name, Lagwagon, etc
  18. Musicman20
    I once used one of those cabs when the backline was provided...it was actually damn fine...especially for the price.

    Hey chaps Well, its done and dusted now. The Shuttle 9.0 is going back as there appears to be some problems with my particular unit. I am also convinced ‘it is not the tone I am looking for’, (Star Wars moment). However, GAS is still with me for a great full featured new micro, so I have now ordered the TC Electronics RH450, RH450 Bag and RC4 Floor Pedal. Believe it or not, I managed to get it for even cheaper in the end for the package from the Bass Merchant guys…so that’s another saving which is great. Kudos to them for being so helpful. I did ask around about the units at £699, and apparently one store in particular had them up for that as they had two ex-demo amps…which im not really willing to go for. Id rather pay the extra £40 and get a brand new sealed unit. Im actually looking at the cabs as well….you can use 3 at once which is just crazy…but I probably should just leave it at the amp Anyways, I’ll report back when it all comes in. Looking forward to the Tecamp M212 + TC combination….and the Berg HS410….that will be interesting! Cheers

    I can only find them for 743

    [quote name='JayGarrett' post='671495' date='Dec 1 2009, 08:08 PM']Well, when chatting to Mark at Bass Direct he told me that the Shuttle was great for 'precise' and 'clinical' attack and uncoloured bass sound - that made me change my mind and head TC Rebel-wards I'm neither clinical or overly precise and tend to get more rock and metal gigs than acoustic, solo bass and all round cleverness type gigs and the fact that I can make the rig sound dirty is a bonus The fact that TC have had people such as Steve Bailey, Janek, Rocco Prestia, Nick Beggs and Ida Funkhouser being and sounding groovy with it as well as Ampeg fans digging the sound, for me at least, was convincing enough that this is a very versatile rig [/quote] This is also kinda why I go towards the TC...plus its just uber cool. I have my Markbass for the cleaner and more quicker bass stuff I might play, and he TC can handle that plus more rock n roll but without always needing to take tuner/sansamp, (which I have to keep anyway for the other amps). [quote name='urb' post='671537' date='Dec 1 2009, 08:41 PM']FWIW I'm loving my Shuttle 9, but then I don't play rock/metal and love a tight clean sound, I play that way too... it's an awesome amp but undoubtedly designed with certain players in mind, TC have signed up lots of very techincal players too - Rich Bona, Dom DiPiazza, Steve Bailey, Janek - it's all a matter of what suits your style. No doubt this is the start of a new era in bass amplification, I'm loving my choice so far but no doubt this tug of opinions on the Class Ds will run and run.[/quote] I agree....its horses for courses. The Shuttle idea is great, but much more for a totally clean and clinical uncoloured sound. I thought Id dig it, but Ive been rock/punk for too long .....I think Markbass is the cleanest Ill go. The Class D amp war is very interesting.....great time to be getting new rigs! Enjoy it

    [quote name='dave_bass5' post='670827' date='Dec 1 2009, 10:30 AM']Sorry to hear that. Hope you get all your money back. Im glad you posted about the difference in tone between the LM3 and Shuttle. I think ill maybe hold off for now. Ive only played a few other heads during the time ive had my MB heads but i too also find the MB's to be fuller and warmer than the other heads i played. I was quite surprised at the difference between my SA450 and my GK 1001RBII when i had both at a couple of gigs. I got the GK for a bit more volume but found it actually quieter if i wanted a clean punchy sound.[/quote] Thanks Dave....its being sorted and with no probs. I think im going for the TC head...and then I wont need an amp for about 10 years with all the stuff I have to play with. It has very useful features, and I think a more warm sound. The 450 watts is apparently very very honest, as in its loud loud loud, and not just a company saying its 700-800 watts when it isnt. [quote name='eude' post='671139' date='Dec 1 2009, 02:52 PM']Sorry to hear your experiences with the Shuttle ain't been that good... You should just wait for the 1000W version of the Terror Bass then matey! I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 500W version, just waiting to hear how it compares to the LittleMark, assuming it does well, I'll be a proud owner of one very soon! Cheers, Eude[/quote] Cheers man I think ill wait and see what happens with the Bass Terror. Id like one....but I might wait to see if they do release the 1000W version. Then again, I think the TC will cover everything I need. I just like the fact the TC has so much you can change, but in a very very fluid and precise way...and no useless features. Now Ive found them at a more reasonable price, its only £50 or so more than the Shuttle if I bought that with the bag and Genz pedal.

    I have two....never had this problem....but then again I did have them set up after they had been sent from EB. Just raise the pickup or lower the G string.... Hope you get it sorted!
  25. Musicman20
    I'm considering going for this amp + pedal + bag when I return my Shuttle 9.0 thats had some problems. I found the Shuttle a little too 'thin'....very very clean and light, but not my sound. Will this amp deliver the goods?
