Will this be any good or is it just too horrific to consider? I dunno if I can stretch to £1k for what is essentially a hobby and the odd gig for anyone foolish enough to listen to our rubbish.. [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/Deluxe-3-4-Solid-Top-Double-Bass-and-Case/1O6"]g4m £429..[/url][/quote] These are actually OK. You will need different strings - you can buy them second hand on here or on TB. Allow £60 You will need to lower the action. You can do this with a needle file. You will not be playing the great works of dead German composers on it, but you will be able to go thump thump thump. You could sell the hard case on Ebay. I have a pupil who sold her case for £180.

Thanks Garry.

Thanks Garry. Email sent.

Hi y'all! I have a Sibelius file which is no use to me because I do not run Sibelius. I need it as a Midi file. Could anyone load it into Sibelius and then save it as a Midi file and mail it back to me? TIA

[quote name='molan' post='1259026' date='Jun 6 2011, 10:01 PM']Interestingly the idea of a SansAmp Bass Driver pedal straight into a powered cab would pretty much do this. Not there's a thought. . .[/quote] Or into one of these? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba500h.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba500h.htm[/url] c. £200

If you can find one, get an old MTD Kingston (horrible resale ), get Wizard to re-wind the pick up and put a Higgie pre-amp in it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139138"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139138[/url]

Hey Jamie! Owen (Bangor)

Rats, I had actually trawled but but was looking for 750 info so missed both those threads. How embarrassing. The fact that I cannot make 8+8+8 = 2.67 tells you all you need to know about my enhanced knowledge of impedance. I just fancy pairing an RH750 with a couple of 4 ohm ACME 12" cabs. My gut feeling is that it should be ok.

TC say that their RH heads will run 3 of their 8 ohm cabs safely. That is 2 ohms. But they cannot guarantee that it will run down to 2 ohms with anyone else's cabs. Would there be anything clever that they will be doing to their cabs to make it guaranteed to be 2 ohms? They say that they can only guarantee 2ohms with their own cabs. Is this marketing spiel?

Adrian is very cool. You knows it.

I am far from complete in my knowledege in this field, but I was under the impression that impedance ratings are nominal at best with all sorts of issues affecting what the amp actually 'sees'. Do TC actually do anything clever to their cabs?

So, this 'only driving down to 2 ohms' with TC cabs. Do TC cabs have special magic in them, or is it just marketing? This and a couple of 4 ohm 1x12" cabs would totally float my boat.

You get the picture As it happens, on reflection, if I still had it I would still be happy with it. I might well have another cab built that was not made of heavy 3/4 inch ply though. Those where the days - when heavy cabs were not an issue. That is no reflection on the driver itself.

I used to have a home built cab with one of these which was built to JBL spec. It was great and dealt with everything I could throw at it.
