Thanks very much for the feedback, pleasure doing business with you! Hope you enjoy it.

They must have been mentioned on here before, but Electric Six to me are highly underrated, in the sense that they're known as a bit of a novelty band. Some of their deep cuts are amazing. To me, in the same sort of league as Crash Test Dummies. Known for a couple of hits and then percieved as disappeared, but have always been going and doing excellent stuff.  Body Shot by E6.

Hello, 

(Edit 20/12/21): Might consider posting but collection preferred. 

£150. Will give it another week, so one final try before removing from sale. 

Located in Suffolk, near Bury St Edmunds. 

I bought this at the start of lockdown and did several songs on it over a few months, then put it back in the box. As such, it's in excellent condition, still with the screen protector on. PC Lead, power brick, instructions all present. 

Also included is an SD card that I got for it, as well as a big - small headphone jack adaptor. 

Sensible offers no problem. 

Trades: 

Am looking to get some money out of this ideally, however if it helps, I'm after a couple of things that I'd consider as trades: 

An acoustic guitar.

Bass combo suitable for rehearsals/home practice. 

Cheers! 

Not 100% relevent but I have a famous persons name as it is. I'm always torn as to whether to change it, or keep it. (for music purposes, not IRL).

This is a fair point! Though as Machines says, I did wonder if it was decent at low levels. 
 

plus transporting the thing. I’ve only got a little 3 door Astra

I got the bundle about a week ago after my band got back together after along hiatus. I literally had nothing but a bass at home and I noticed this deal the day after we agreed to reform..it was a no brainer I thought. 

The cab is a bit bigger than I need but I thought it was such a good deal that I'll give it a go. I play in a relatively heavy band and used to use a k212 which was ideal, so I expect to get on well with the 410. (Haven't tried it with the band yet). 

It's 29kg so not silly heavy for a 4x10. If you can put the back seats down it should be ok I would have thought. 

I've played at fairly low levels and it sounds ..ok..you don't get the best out of it obviously, but it will work. We do some acoustic stuff too and I'm probably going to use a combo for those occasions, though I am toying with getting another smaller cab and still using this head.

For practising, it is easily the best amp I've played for headphone use. It sounds great through headphones. 

I thought that if I find the cab too cumbersome, I'll just sell it and buy something used and smaller.

So where do your song ideas come from?

Mine just pop into my head at any time so to all intents and purposes they really do come from the ether!

Certainly most times when I actively try and "write a song" nothing very good ever comes of it.

I write quite a lot that are basically my internalised feelings about a film I've watched, or a book I've read. For e.g. I wrote a song recently about the film 'Midsommar' and the lyrics are all about having problems, and then finding yourself, but in an unhealthy way.For the music, I tried to write something that sounded a bit folky with a sinister undercurrent (like the film). It isn't what came out exactly, but having a starting point is what's important. I find it's a good way to write, as the emotions and whatnot are already there by default..if that makes sense. 

I'm also into creative writing, and invariably write song versions of the stories I'm writing. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Not a band but a group I'm involved with perfectly demonstrated the issues around use of social media for 'communication' and 'chat'. Someone takes a 'view' on what someone 'meant' and it gets toxic pretty quickly.  

Unfortunately that's becoming more and more dominant. Probably not the place to have it, but there's an interesting debate as to whether the internet has done more harm than good. Imo, no matter how advanced the technology, humans will always be humans (I.e extremely flawed).

I've been meaning to post my own tale of woe for some time now - so I was about to post to Jakester's thread but ended up venting at too much length... Didn't want to thread-jack so please forgive the possibly unnecessary new topic.

<snip>

If you've read this far, thank you - I've been meaning to vent for some time and I think there is something to be gained by sharing these tales of misery. Not that I'm miserable now - the new band is far more creative and fun and the future looks pretty bright. I do enjoy reading stories about unreasonable band members though so I hope others here have something to moan about too...

Highly relatable. Successful and happy band..that's usually a choice between the two in my experience, unless you're very lucky. I've always stuck to original bands myself as most of the satisfaction is with writing, but it doesn't half make playing music a much harder, and a more caustic experience. You essentially need to be comfortable with travelling for 6 hours and playing to one man and his Dog, and then travelling 6 hours home again while having a laugh about it, in order to not get bitter. Always a mistake to let your local crowd inform your ideas around your popularity etc. A strange existence, where you simultaniously require a big ego on stage, and also no ego at all off of it. 

My old band has just got back together and some of that is down to me getting more laid back and happy to have fun. Getting a group together that's equitable and who all enjoy playing what you're playing is the thing to aim for imo, as apposed to 'fame' strategies. 

Its great that you got sorted. A bit of space from the toxic element really makes things clearer. I'm wishing you every success not only for your benefit, but for your ex singer's required reality check too.

I'm the same, like a lot of Morrisey's solo stuff I think it's because he's singing in tune instead of wailing (a 3rd higher?)

I really like the songs the Smiths did with Sandie Shaw, says it all really, 

Yes there's something about his solo stuff which is a bit more...conventional? Which while not in every case, is better in this one imo. A lot of the stuff is really catchy and powerful. 

Also re The Smiths it's amusing to see so many folks who live in Smiths T Shirts furiously back pedal whenever Mozza puts his foot in it in interviews.

Same here, I used to really hate the smiths, but now I really like their music when morisey isn't singing, the songs are really well put together, the basslines are fun to play and Marrs guitar work is excellent, but morissey just ruins it for me.

My wifes favorite band is the Smiths and it's always been a running joke here. I do impressions of a thick throated Morrissey trying to fit 2 too many words into every line reguarly. 

However,  there was a Morrissey solo album left in the car once and now I really like some of his solo stuff a lot. First of the Gang to Die is superb imo. Much as it pains me. 

I hesitate to say it, especially on here, but I've recently started getting right into Level 42.

Something a bit more sayable in public is that I've really fallen in love with Dr Feelgood. It's one of those where I feel sad that it took me so long. I think Wilko used to irritate me which is why it took a while.

Give TC a ring or drop em a line...

I'd also Cc in where ya got it, hopefuly you will get a response before ya 30 day returns or whatever.

I would expect it to run all the time, otherwise there is an extra thermo switch on the heatsink or somewhere, at extra expense

Surprised it is not mentioned in the destructions or spec if on/off... a 'feature' worthy of a bullet point mention in sales blurb.

Thanks, yes I've emailled both. Already had a reply from Andertons saying that it only comes on when needed. Also, 2 other owners on a seperate thread on here are saying that theirs doesn't run on start up either. It very much looks like it is on/off based on that, which is reassuring. I'll still await TC's response with interest. You're right though..there's no mention of the cooling in the manual at all.

I can also support no fan actuating unless under load for a bit. Glad you're having fun with it 🙂

Superb, thanks for that

My fan doesn't spin, nope

Excellent news, thanks for that. I'm being neurotic because I'm the guy that always has a problem with purchases. Thanks very much for putting my mind at rest. Enjoy! 

I'm posting this all over the place, but I'm one of those that bought the bundle.

I got them today and my only issue is that the fan didn't come on. Can someone who has one let me know if this is normal or not please? I've read a couple of posts online saying the fan should be always on, so I'm a little concerned mine has a fault. (hopefully it's just that it'll kick in with use, but it'd be great to put my mind at rest). 

Aside from that, the amp sounds great to me, with the limited time I've had with it. I've had a couple of K series cabs before and have always really liked them. My old band agreed to get back together on Tuesday and I saw this deal the day after. That never happens. Now I just need to make friends with a chiropractor. 

Edit: No fan on start is normal apparently. Good news.

What do we think folks? Primary consideration is POWERZ!!oneoneone, can more beef be had for £349?

Aside from my fan issue, I was just going to say I didn't have to think about this too long. My old band got back together on Tuesday, and I had no rig at all. I popped online and saw the deal for 499 and thought I would never find anything better without a load of messing about. I ordered it and then worried about what the wife would say.. (usually this is the other way round). 

I think the watts issue is a bit of a distraction. There are lots of happy users of this amp, and I've yet to find anyone that says it feels underpowered in real life scenarios. Most criticisms centre around taste of sound as above. It looks and sounds great to me, with the limited time I've had with it.

Well, I figured it's always nice to receive shiny things, so have gone with 'lets give it a go'.  Given people were spending a LOT more than this on the RH750 up until recently, it can't be bad!

Now I just need a cab so I can give it a try

Hello! I ordered the bundle so got the head with the 4x10. I've had the K series cabs before and really liked them. Basic but decent sounding imo. 

You could help me out here. I received mine today and noticed the Cooling fan didn't come on when I switch it on. I'm worried it's a fault (as I've seen the fans should run all the time on a couple of forum posts). Would you be able to tell me if your fan spins immediately, or not when you turn it on please?

I've done a separate thread, but this will solve the issue. 

Cheers!

If you only leave it on it may not get hot enough to turn the fan on. You probably have to play through it to generate much heat.

Yes I was thinking that. I've emailled TC anyway so will see what they say. A couple of people online are complaining that theirs was too noisy from the start, so I'm thinking mine might be a lemon. 

2 minutes ago, Woodinblack said:

I have a TC450. I am not sure if the fan is running all the time, but I can't hear it until it has been pushed for a few hours. You can feel it blowing air after a while of it being on when it has got hot, but I have been very surprised at how loud fans are on other amplifiers.

Cheers, yeah this one is definately not moving at all. I shone a torch into the grill to make sure. I think I'll just leave it on for an hour or two and see if it kicks in eventually. .

I'm a bit paranoid with fans it has to be said. I had a Peavey Minimax once that sounded like 10 planes taking off, and now I've got one that's not moving at all. Am hoping I'm just overly worrying and it'll kick in once warmer. 

Hello folks. 

I received an RH750 today, looks and sounds great on first impression. 

My only concern is that the fan isn't turning on. I've read in a couple of places that the fan on these should be running all the time. Is this true? I'm not really able to test it out at volume for ages so was hoping someone who owns one might let me know if their fan runs from startup, or kicks in only when getting hot. 

Many thanks!

I can verify the R500H looks cool with its blue backlighting and sounds awesome onstage, drop D no sweat at all, it handles my low B through 2 R410 cabs no problem 😎 

 

 

 

Hello, I'm thinking about getting this head and just browsing the archives found this thread. Hope it's ok to get your input. 

Are you still using this rig?, What are your thoughts after more prolonged use? Also is the fan very loud? I have a Peavey Minimax which is great, but I need something that runs more quietly for something I'm playing in. 

Cheers! 

I've got a Peavey Minimax, which I really like, and use for both rock and Rock. I think this would satisfy all your requirements. There's a nearly new one in the marketplace I believe. 

Hi all. 

The band consists of me on Bass/Vocals and my (adult) Son on guitar, (which I'm hoping will generate a bit of interest at least local press wise) and we need a drummer to really get moving. 

I have a sets worth of  material written. It's a mix of Vintage and classic rock, with a modern edge. Bit melancholic at times, with songs influenced by horror and sci-fi etc. 

Here's a link to one of the rough demos. 

https://m.soundcloud.com/horrorhiker/crystal-full-band-demo

We're based in Suffolk, Ipswich/Stowmarket/Bury St Eds all do-able. 

Plenty of experience, and a serious venture, so if you think this sounds like someone's cup of tea, please give me a shout. 

Cheers.
