LukeFRC Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 seems cheap, they are in edinburgh and newcastle, I couldn't afford it till I've shifted my amp... and I don't think even though it's in new condition they would give me much on trading it in..... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Is tempting - but I saw a demo TC 450RH in Andertons and it was pretty scratched and knocked all over....might be worth asking about the condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks LukeFRC. I've just ordered one (of 2) as I've been wanting to gig this particular model for a while and probably would have paid close to that price used. They are quoting it as new with one year warranty, so if it looks a mess they can have it back. Should arrive in time for 4 gigs in a row this week which means I'll soon know if it ticks the boxes or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just a warning I bought a SWR power amp at a too good to be true price - it blew and then there was a whole hassle on getting the part etc. GG bought the gear from Fender as no return meaning that Fender wouldnt cover warranty but GG offered warranty via their own tech. After numerous dates for when it would be ready I ended up getting a full refund as it was proving too much hassle. Can I just say GG were great to deal with and weren't the issue but I'd ask if this is a refurb and get full clarity on why its such a good deal. I spent a few months without a rig and it was very frustrating especially as it was another guy who blew the amp having used it withouot my permission nor informng me it had blown! Be wary of too good to be true deals and always ask the shop the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Some good points there Krispn. Luckily I always have a spare amp at any one time in case of problems. Fingers crossed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 they seem to be discounting all their shop stock of TC electronics stuff, whether to stop selling them, to refresh the display or what I do not know. Personally I think they may have made a mistake on the pricing or something. the fact they were two leads me to think there possibly is little wrong with them except used as display/demo stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just beware of what condition they might be in. Ive seen some of their RH450 combos with so much damage on them it was crazy! I know that finish can be picky, but its in a shop, so it shouldnt get dragged about much. Hopefully its all fine. A lot of the UK stores have ex-demo TC gear like the Bass Merchant which clearly states ex-demo, but VERY good prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Amp arrived today and in perfect cosmetic condition. All seems to work fine as well. First impressions sound-wise is that it definitely has a slightly more modern edge to the tone compared to the RH450. The highs are crisp and crystal clear which I could not get from the 450. Lows are overpowering... had to roll this off a little for my taste. I can see what people mean by Mid Scooped when set flat but after a minute of playing with the eq preset and a little boost there was no lack of mid punch for me. Now to try on a few gigs.
