Many combos such as the Fender Rumble 500 will have two power ratings I.e:

500 Watts @ 4 ohms (with External Speaker), 350 Watts @ 8 ohms (Internal)

i wondered how this is achieved, I “think” it would be by having the two internal speakers as 4ohm wired in series, which gives you the 8ohm load when operating the combo by itself, then once an 8ohm extension cab is connected it effectively becomes two 8ohm cabs in parallel which run at 4ohms.

Is this correct and will most combos have there speakers wired in series if there is the ability to add an extension cab??

Forgot to mention that for me it’s all about size and weight. I gig in a hilltop village and nearby seaside chiringuitos (beachbars) with really crap access so the size /weight /sound equation is super critical. I have AER AMP THREE which suits me well but it does have PA support usually. I have yet to try anything better that meets the equation’s requirements. Of course, there are better sounding combos but they just fall short on the schlepping end. The Markbass 121 is close but no cigar. Would I pay the full retail for the AER ......errr, no - just could not manage it?!

Glad you like the Tecamp and if you or other members have any ideas on tiny combos that would suit my situation, I am all ears.

How about the tecamp 112, similar weight size and power to the Mark bass 121 but a warmer sound...

Ahhh.......but you have yet to try the AER amp One combos!

It had incredible sound for a 200watt combo with a single 10 inch speaker, but as you say, without pa support it ain’t gonna cut a loud gig by itself.

Forgot to mention I had an AER amp one, customer services second to none, I bought my amp one second hand, it was five years only and started farting out, sent it back to AER to repair and they couldn’t find the problem, so they just sent me a brand spanking new style one....

i sold it though 😬

Well I just picked up myself a TecAmp Classic 212 combo, I wasn’t looking to buy anything as this gives me three rigs, however I’ve always been interested to see what these can do. I’ve always been a combo man and have had most of the best of them, Walkabouts, both 12 and 15, SWR Redhead, Markbass 12 combo and the 210 combo, Ampeg B-15 and the very heavy, very reasonable priced and excellent sounding Peavey Bam 210 combo.

and having taken my new toy to rehearsal yesterday I can say that I am extremely pleased with this. It’s loud, it’s light, it’s even got wheels on the back, and sounds lovely, thick and creamy, what an excellent combo this is.

the gold standard is always going to be the Mesa Boogie Walkabout (the 15 is my preference), however this is right up there.  

Im guessing that the new Eich combos are the same as these with a few tweaks and different branding, either way, this is rather excellent and will get gigged on Friday night 😁🎶🎵🎶

I said it about the last one that came up for sale and I will say it about this one, awesome combo and yes, one of the best ones out there.

If I didn't have one already I'd be all over this one.  Best amp I've owned

Good price too, I paid a good wedge more than this for mine...

It doesn't say on the ad but this is the 15" 4 ohm version.

Ah..... in that case this is probably the best combo out there, they are truely awesome, warm, punchy and loud.

that 4 Ohms means you get the full 300 watts into that georgeous 15 inch speaker too, and if for some reason you did want to add an extension cab, these babies will go down to 2 Ohms easily enough...👍🏻

I have the 15 inch speaker version which is simply awsome, this would be great for those smaller gigs...... mmmmmmmm

One of the sweetest sounding combos ever made, just beautifull.

gigged this at the weekend, and whilst it has immense power and portability, it doesn’t do the smooth groove which my walkabout gives me, so she is still up for sale.

Having second thoughts about selling this rig, going gig with it tonight and see how I feel in he morning...

Wasn’t looking to sell them separately, but feel from to make me an offer and I will consider it.

Forgot to mention that the combo is Indonesian and the extension cab is Italian. Also I don’t know whether they have made any adjustments to the power amp, but the tweeter does not hiss anyway near as much as it used to.

I was looking at trimming down my amp collection, however this has got me tempted, and I’m gigging in Sheffield on Friday night 😬

Anyone played or got one of these? The 210 combo is tiny and as light as a feather, can’t find many reviews on line though, would be interested to see what opinions are??

Being "that" guy, photos & a location would really help 🙂

Well I’ve been “that guy” by not putting photos and location 🙂

located in North Notts and photos to follow 😃

I do have a soft spot for these brown / mocha Jazz basses from the 70s... lovely

Beautiful bass, i love the way some of these limelight’s look, I’d have to put some proper Tort on it though 😬

Would consider trading for a decent jazz bass, limelight, fender roadworn or Sandburg....etc

I’ve kept this as back up for the last year but only used it once or twice as I tend to use my Walkabout to gig with.

Its recently been serviced and had a new power amp installed, she runs great, it’s just not getting used so time to move it on. These are great rigs for small or large venues.

both combo and can come with padded Mark bass covers.
