RH750 Specs - Quite simply, RH750 raises the bass bar to new heights. First of all, it jams significant power into its compact design - 750 watts (1200 watts peak) just waiting for you to unleash it on stages everywhere! Secondly, a new TweeterTone knob, gives you 'intelligent HF control' that can take RH750 from old-school vintage tones to crisp and modern bass tones or anything in between in seconds. Obviously, RH750 and RH450 are related; RH750 just takes it up a notch! urther, RH750 includes SpectraComp, a unique 'per string' bass compressor that has been praised by bass players all over the world for its extremely even compression across all strings. TubeTone, an amazing recreation of both a tube pre- and power amp. When you combine those features with the extremely versatile 4-band tone control section and the new TweeterTone feature, you get a set of tone shaping capabilities in a league of its own. In fact, RH750 has the exact same preamp as our crown jewel bass amp: Blacksmith! With three on-board presets, you can store your favourite tones tailored for different basses or musical styles. Finally, switching between vintage Fenders and modern, active basses or between funky R n' B and classic Rock 'n Roll tunes is completely effortless. Also, the built-in, chromatic bass tuner makes maintaining perfect pitch of the low notes on the stage simple. The tuner is always displaying the tuning state of your bass, and it is a breeze to tune up silently and swiftly between songs by hitting the Mute button. It has never been faster to get back to the important thing - playing music! RH750 Features Flexible Tone Controls RH750 feature a set of straightforward controls like you know them from traditional amps, voiced to give you plenty of tweaking options to nail the perfect tone. Chances are that this is all you'll ever need. However, if you're not fully satisfied with the default frequency areas, fear not – every tone control is also capable of being semi-parametric bands. This way, you can pinpoint any frequency you want to remove or boost for each tone control and then store the settings. On-board user memories You might not use presets...yet. If you use different basses or change playing style during shows, you know that a few amp presets would be welcome. RH750 gives you 3 on-board user memories for effortless switching between 4 and 5-string basses or Rickenbackers and Fenders for that matter. Alternatively, you can create 3 entirely different tones for one bass – e.g. overdrive, slap and a vintage tone. Just plug in your bass and use the 'car radio' style Store & Recall controls to easily switch between you personal presets. Also, by adding the optional RC4 floor-based remote control, you can switch effortlessly between you presets without ever letting go of the strings. TubeTone™ TubeTone™ was originally developed for the RH450 bass amp. Most transistor designs try to replicate tube sound using one small preamp tube, but why not take the crucial characteristics of a full preamp and power amp into account? Both are essential to the sound when you want that classic tube warmth as well as when you go for a full-on overdriven rock sound with a massive punch! TubeTone™ gives you exactly that. SpectraComp™ A conventional compressor is often dominated by the lower string, but with SpectraComp™, inherited directly from the original RH450, you get 'per string' multi-band compression that evens out the compression across all strings. In short, you get an even and rock solid tone that cuts through any mix whether you play fingerstyle, with a heavy pick or slap the strings hard. TweeterTone™ The tweeter control is usually located on the rear side of the cabinet, but on RH750 you can simply adjust the tweeter level right from the front panel. Further, the sound also gets modified slightly with filters for a much more intelligent control over the high frequencies that are critical for giving your sound that razor-sharp edge. Built in bass tuner Every bass player needs a tuner, but virtually no other amp offers anything else than a 'tuner out' feature.... RH750 does! Simply push the Mute button to get a full-resolution tuner 'light ring' to help you tune your instrument quickly and accurately. You can also use the RC4 remote control unit for easy floor-access to this functionality. Both speaker and DI outputs are muted automatically while tuning. Finally, even when you haven't pushed the Mute button, the tuner is still active, only without the light ring feature. Transformer balanced Studio grade Line driver output Quality can vary wildly with built-in DIs, but RH750's DI is transformer balanced and galvanic isolated from the rest of the amp, which means that you get absolutely no ground loops or annoying humming. And don't worry about long cable runs – RH750 will draw at least 100m of cable with zero loss of audio quality. Even though the integrated DI in RH750 does not need 48v phantom to operate, it does not get harmed if your sound engineer should happen to leave it on by accident. RS 210 Specs - We have worked with specialist US company Eminence to produce specific custom drivers for the RebelStack systems. The dual-concentric placement of the HF driver inside the top woofer in both the 210 and 212 cabinets secures optimal dispersion and audio performance. •TC Electronic RebelStack 210 Tech Specs •Dimensions: W x H x D 356 x 664 x 356mm •Weight: 19 kg / 38 pounds •Power handling: 400 Watt •Enclosure: 18mm plywood side panels, 18mm rounded carved hardwood corners •Surface treatment: 'Anti-skid' dual component surface •Porting: Rear porting •Woofer: Eminence custom 10" •Tweeter: Eminence 33mm voice coil, titanium diaphragm •Tweeter adjustment: L-pad (off - 0dB)

For some strange reason, I have a yearning for YOB Precision. I have my dream set of basses so now, a YOB bass has become my new GAS. Luckily I haven't seen any but the search is good fun
-
I use it in the studio but I don't live. Even though my RH750 has it built in, I don't use it. I try and make sure that any control over signal boost / attack comes from my fingers. I used it once and maybe because I wasn't sure what I was looking for, it just didn't feel right live. In the studio, I think it is essential. Just my opinion, of course.

Kindness is such a rare commodity these days, unfortunately. I do love hearing about things like this. It offers some hope that this place we live in, isn't solely frequented by self serving individuals. A lovely post and story

Very sad news. I was lucky to see him live. What a character. Will be sadly missed. RIP Philthy Phil Taylor

What are you listening to right now?
mattbass6 replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Lots of Led Zeppelin, especially III plus Big Wreck, Dream Theater and, Cats In Space -

I quite enjoyed that to be honest. I bet he wouldn't do that if he was actually playing the song in a live situation (I hope not anyway). A great little promo and, he can clearly play. A pity about the drum sound though. Oh well, you can't win them all PS Those bendy sticks are awesome
-
Great purchase. I still have my '86 MIJ Precision and I will never let it go! Enjoy. They are wonderful basses

[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1446900726' post='2903328'] Holy Mother of God! Would you need to be earth wired to play it safely? [/quote] An exception to the rule, may be 😀

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1446885547' post='2903113'] Not up for 'reliced' finishes then, eh..? [/quote] Ha! I think they look ace but, not for me 😉

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1446886858' post='2903120'] Yes, I completely get this, but the point made above is valid. The best pictures I've taken have been outside in natural light. Some basses are hard to do justice to indoors when you're in a hurry. I've therefore used rubber trivets so no contact has been made when laying the bass down. Probably a bit wrong to judge everyone as an instrument abuser if you can't tell for sure how it's been done :-) [/quote] Why would you be in a hurry take a picture indoors? If you can take the time to use rubber trivets and carefully place them so as not to be seen, then why not take the time to get the lighting right indoors. By the way, I'm not saying there is a right or wrong, I am just countering your point 😉 Also, I'm not judging anyone, I don't do that. I was just asking if I was the only one who felt like I do about seeing basses in that situation 😉

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1446877331' post='2903080'] Then again, many sellers have some sort of CDO (sic) as well, me included, and we use hours and hours painstakingly putting soft velvet between those basses and the gravel and concrete - - even cutting mum's finest pillows in two when needed, just to avoid that any velvet be visible in the picture, and... What? Yes, mum. Sorry, mum. [/quote] Fair point, well presented 😉

This is totally to do with my OCD by the way but, am I the only one that winces when you see a bass / guitar someone is selling and, they feel the best way to capture it's natural beauty is to photograph it it standing, lying, leaning on concrete, resting on pebbles or balanced across garden chairs. It just puts me off wanting to buy it. I hate dinging my basses, it drives me nuts and even though it's inevitable when you play a lot (I know basses are meant to be played not just admired - I do both by the way) but, seeing a bass for sale in the situation described, makes me wonder how well it was looked after. I just want to see an instrument I was interested in buying, on a stand against a plain background along with a clear description knowing it wasn't unnecessarily damaged, for the sake of a "pose". Sorry in advance but, I just had to ask as I've been potentially interested in a purchase and then seen the said described situation and backtracked to the previous page.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1446818793' post='2902625'] I can sing notes accurately, trouble is I have a pitch range of about 10 semitones. [/quote] Love this. Laughed out really loudly and not in a mean way, I promise. Thank you PS Tried singing in my old band once. It was recorded for a live release and upon hearing my BVs, I was horrified / mortified. Pitching would have been useful so, suffice to say, Melodyne became my very best, overworked friend I'll stick to writing the songs and playing bass.......

Great customer service from TC Electronic
mattbass6 replied to Jenny_Innie's topic in General Discussion
All my knobs fell off too and TC were just brilliant. Replaced them within 48 hours. A top company just a shame they are now owned by Behringer....... -
My current project, Dingwall ABZ 5 Transformation
mattbass6 replied to Grand Wazoo's topic in Bass Guitars
Wow! That is stunning. What an amazing transformation / job 😎 -
Thanks for the introduction to Mathias Eick. The music is stunning and yes, great tone on that lovely P-bass, too.
-
Very clever but, left me feeling cold too. Give me songs and melody with some clever, technical flourishes thrown in, when appropriate, any day. Just my opinion of course

Has it stopped yet? If not, please make it stop....... #selfindulgent #why PS Loved that chrome Yamaha BB.
