So he managed to destroy two speakers?

 

Good job the new ones are 'unused' then... It sounds like this guy likes to push them hard.

yh blowing 2 bf cabs takes a special person 🤔😉😂😂

Cant believe no 5 string guys have snapped this up yet........ The pups in this are seriously top end. Imo you cant beat any of the nordstrand soap bar variants for versatility and piano like clarity. Killer combo with that maple neck.... Chris rock better watch out cause this will slap harder than will smith 😉

pm,d

After spotting a few classic 50,s i thought i,d better investigate. Folk were making some very big claims. 

I received mine on Monday. I wanted it to be bad.   There was absolutely no way this mex guitar was making the rack with my other basses. 

Me and a friend blind sound tested a US 60th anniversary p, US ltd rosewood and the classic 50 straight out of the box.

The classic 50 just had an extra 5%, too our ears. There was more feedback through the body despite inferior hardware and a badly cut nut.

It had a lower, woody tone all of its own in a mix. No doubt due to the one piece cricket bat neck. 

I will swap the bridge for a babicz as i hate all fender bridges anyway, and round the fretboard edges. 

But mines going nowhere, ever.  Someone needs to grab this.......

You will not regret it........ Decent price too

just stunning ...........

You beat me too this by the hair off a gnats chin. That necks something.....

Pulled the hammer on a sims custom jazz on sunday and a classic 50 the week before, otherwise i,d have snapped this up. If you knocked my front door with this in your hands i,d struggle not too hand over my amp money 😉😂

OK, there is no quoted output at 8ohms.  Quoted output is 1600watts RMS into 2 or 4 ohms (switchable).  Rule of thumb is that an amp will put IRO half the output at 8ohms as it will at 4ohms, the more efficient the amp so the output percentage will edge upward a little.  The Blacksmith would output between 800 & 900 watts at 8ohms.  Thing to bear in ming is that the output is very controllable, so connecting a low wattage cab isn't an issue as long as a bit of sense is employed!  I'd been running the Blacksmith into a Ampeg AV210 cab at home no probs - & that cab is only rated 200watts.
Indeed, the Blacksmith is in a very different class to the RH750 - both in terms of sound & build quality...the Blacksmith is TC's flagship amp, hand-built in Denmark and it shows - this amp is Solid!

I ve got a big baby T so seems a good match. And thanxs for the info

The current 500W version has a clean switch. But why would you want to tame oranfe gnarl? 😆

disgusting right 🤔😂😂😂. Think i was fingered by a metal fan in my pram 😉😂

I spoke to the guy. Hes got multiple barefaced cabs. Said a speaker stopped working in this and alex wanted too much for a speaker apparently. He had another cab with a dodgy speaker in it so he donored the good speaker into that. Didnt question him on the wiring job.

Shouldnt be here still at that price.......... If it was active i could justify buying it along side the classic 50 and 60th p bass i,m still waiting delivery of🤔

Im a fan of the 6 string stuff. Not for me tho. The amp sounds like a bad 90,s korg pedal in person imo. They should have taken the route of the 2nd amp, Nextone where it concentrated the focus on emulating 2 or 3 different tube types and configs instead a catalogue of unusable effects. For me more than anything it seems tuned the same as their guitar speakers, sounds similar if you plug a bass into a a 2 x10 katana. lacked the rounded low end.

I‘m considering cab options for my OTB an 2 x OBC112 is a strong contender for the portability an flexibility. Can you get the full power out of the amp or do the speaker struggle to handle? Thx.

The 2 cabs are defo the way forward if portability is also a factor. Your ears will thank you for it. Its all about moving air. You,ll get more depth and punch from the 2 over one and you,ll be getting full beanz out of the head.

My mate services and repairs vintage hifi. He’s a proper geek with it. His shop is in Sherborne. Bit too far? 

Postage is fine with me if it is with him. Hoping my dreams are answered by someone who lives up the road 😂😂. Thanks for the reply.

Just wondering if any of you wonderfull basschatters know of anyone or of a decent vintage amp repair service (home stereo) .....pref in the wales area but will travel if needed.  My heads mashed , cant live without it, nothing else delivers the bass out of my 863,s in the same barbaric way 😂😂😂

If i was after a gigging amp rather than a bedroom rig i,d have been all over this by now. At nearly 50 i should maybe be going for an rh750 😂.

However after speaking with a few owners these are supposedly, totally different animals. What are these kicking out at 8ohm. Cant find any info on that. 

lovely looking bass

Nice pair of cabs sir ........ Are you selling that blue burl ibanez 😉😂

Stunning bass

Rumoured too have been found inside the Arc of the covenant. This will summon thor and wake the dead. 🤔😉
