[quote name='Flanker' post='644879' date='Nov 3 2009, 11:52 PM']I received my L610 today and it sounded amazing with my Puma 500 head........amazing!!!.............until an hour into band practise when it started sounding fuzzy like an overdriven sound so I'm assuming a speaker has gone?????? I hadn't thought about it but after the event I remembered reading that it's just as easy to blow a speaker by not enough power as by too much! Have I been stupid trying to drive a huge powerful cab with a 500W head?[/quote] That shouldnt really be a problem....500W is pretty average nowadays. Hmm....send it back dude. Shame really

[quote name='Platypus' post='642097' date='Oct 31 2009, 07:08 PM']Rosetti were the Tecamp importer/distributer for UK, getting supplies of things like covers may be tricky until the new distributer is up and running - anyone know who the new distribute is ? Some of the Euro dealers may be able to supply covers: Here's the product codes and eur list prices: [url="http://www.musikundtechnik.de/download/A_TE_Endverbraucherpreisliste_0809_english.pdf"]http://www.musikundtechnik.de/download/A_T...809_english.pdf[/url] and heres someone that sells them this one is for the M212 (product code TECCM750) , phew, wore meself out researching that [/quote] [quote name='MOSCOWBASS' post='642341' date='Nov 1 2009, 09:42 AM']I got my gigbag for my Puma here: [url="http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb/manufacturer/tecamp"]http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb/manufacturer/tecamp[/url] Covers are not listed here at the moment, but they could probably get them for you. Iain H[/quote] Cheers chaps. Ive emailed about 10 places now, no reply. Might go with a Roqsolid one for £40.

Nice.

I bet 8x10 is awesome.... Tecamp club should be started on the gear porn thread!

I remember when people used to knock Japanese Fenders. They were wrong. Lakland/Sadowsky can make their basses cheaper this way, so everyone can try one... Not only that, they really do go over them. I've already waited 6 weeks for my JO5, and I'll wait another 3 months If I have to. Dan actually hand picked me the lightest one and then made sure the UK supplier were aware. Dan also mentioned it would be another 3-4 months before he had stock after the run he had in his workshop. I like that....

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='642982' date='Nov 1 2009, 11:23 PM']tbh your ears should be hurting way before it starts making strange noises... which is prior to something going terminally wrong! If you're not sure I'll take it off your hands and you'll even make a profit. [/quote] Ah good! Thing is Im really impressed by this cab and I realise why their prices are normally quite high. BUT, as of today me and the lady have had an awesome offer on a really upmarket flat in London, so it might be a case of having to sell it on or trade down for smaller stuff in the very near future. I think If I gig it though, I won't be able to part with it! Its so well built and so bloomin light! I also have a lot of gas for the Shuttle 9.0 and I can't have both really....Id have to wait now this flat has come up. Hmmm!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='643765' date='Nov 2 2009, 07:43 PM']I'm no techie type and this is just an educated guess but could the fact that the combos have the amp positioned down the back of the combo mean that the working gubbins (see not a techie ) of the amp are 'fairly' close to the driver magnet which being Neo magnets has a stronger magnetic field than traditional magnets, leading to increased hiss... the cabs/amps wouldn't have this issue as they are no where near as close! Just punting it out there as a suggestion.[/quote] Good theory! I did read in the little manual that came with the cab that the tecamp neo speakers have really good shielding on them, stopping the field...maybe I have read it completely wrong! Maybe the problem is just the smaller combos (eg 1x12, 1x10). Edit...just realised another 2x10 is doing the same. Hmmm!

PS....it seems to be just the combos hissing...is it due to the small driver?

[quote name='MarkMcK' post='643431' date='Nov 2 2009, 02:30 PM']You're welcome! Every now and again we get some amazing deals in and this was one of them. It is actually really enjoyable to see the response like this from true bass players. I've noticed a comment about buzzing, was this an isolated case? If anyone has any issues, again, please let me know.[/quote] Thanks for such quick and reliable service Mark; its good to see that this gear was indeed brand spanking new and pristine and still in the Tecamp boxes If you get anymore...or any other high end makes...please let us all know! Gareth

Its just the same, in my eyes, as Sadowsky charging £1800 for a Metro Bass. Doesn't matter what country, as lets face it, its still a more budget version. I'd love a USA Lakland, but it ain't gonna happen! I've tested a few, and I have one on order, and believe me the quality, finish, and overall feel of the Lakland Skylines is top notch indeed!

Any views with anyone on how the M212 will handle a Shuttle 9.0?! Im mainly going to use the LM3, but Im thinking the Shuttle 9.0 might be on the cards soon to use with my 8 ohm cabs. Im thinking that 900W into a 600W cab might be pushing it. I wont actually be turning it up full....but you know what Im getting at.

The 75 Reissue ...mmm! That and the 62 P Reissue are the main areas of GAS for me.

Ive heard the Landmark heads....really good. I still rate the Sansamp pedals highly, BDDI is perfect for punk and metal. Nice to see a good selection of amps in that photo...and some Orange

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='642643' date='Nov 1 2009, 05:39 PM']any update on the hiss? mines the same. i've never had an amp or rig that hasn't had some level of hiss. but playin in my room this hiss is noticable over my playing. which is a little bit worrying..[/quote] Ah man Try it out a few times. Hiss can be really annoying. Maybe its just a small bug with these combos....ive not actually heard a Tecamp amp yet!

[quote name='Captain Rumble' post='642064' date='Oct 31 2009, 06:19 PM']Dont know about Tec amp covers but got this from Maplins today £15 [attachment=35473:DSC00700.JPG][/quote] Thats a nice fit Good find.

More Oly White! I cant hack the splate on the MM....even though the bass still looks cool.

Evening chaps! Has anyone managed to find where we can get the Tecamp covers? They apparently can be left on the cab whilst you play. They have a front zip for the where the front grille is. I managed to get this M212 without annoying the missus too much. Once she realised I could carry it alone, and that I got it really cheap, she ‘got it’. I’m going to give mine a good test over the weekend as I’m learning some new songs for a potential band I’m joining. Hopefully it will sound as good as it looks. I checked on guitarguitar’s site, and they seem to now be selling the S/M210s off quickly as well. To be fair, one 4 ohm 2x10 would be great for a quieter band. Oh, and now just the 1x10 combos left. I checked with their manager, and they are not going to be getting any stock of Tecamp stuff again. It’s a one off, and they cannot order new stock at normal prices. So, im asking around about the covers. I first thought perhaps Tecamp were stopping production, but then I realised their site has been updated with an event today so they must still be going strong. That’s good news! After a word with another one of tecamps stockists, it seems Rosetti are not a dealer anymore, and that’s why they sold everything off cheap. Now we need a new dealer so we can buy our covers.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! I was actually thinking 'which bass??' for when I go try out. Im thinking after my gig last night that the new Oly White Fender Precision with flats will sound nice, full and perfect for this kind of music. It was my first gig with flats...and I was very impressed with how clear they were. I expected flats to be a little less clear than stainless, but they were spot on. Yeah, you dont get the really bright attack, but when you have 2 guitarists with quite a bright sound, it sits nicely in the background and provides that good fat low end. I think the amp will have to be the LM3 due to space in the car....I doubt ill be able to get a cab down so Im going to ask what they have in their practice room. Im going to spend the afternoon learning some of their material now. I dont want to be too positive about it, as I might not be right for them as yet, but its definitely the kinda stuff I enjoy playing and also find a breeze to play, so I can add some little bass runs in the right places. I will keep this topic updated Im more bothered about me and the new band getting on than the playing...to me its half the battle. But they seem like really decent chaps and they approached me which is a good sign. Cheers

I havent had chance to test my cab yet I wish I had my bloody house/flat in London NOW...I am having to around other people in the house before testing her out and making noise, (even low noise!)

Thanks for that link. When I ordered my JO5 which is still to come, I spoke to Dan and he has sent it with another guard in addition to the original white. Sunburst and Tort is just a classic that cannot be missed.

This bass will be a masterpiece once its finished! I must say, even though I didnt realise how deep the DJ/JO tone was, once I plugged one it, I loved it.
