Pictures to come later but up for sale is my superb Staccato '51 amp plus RC4 footswitch, cables, manual and TC gig bag. All in Great condition. Some details below. Asking for[b] £SOLD[/b] inc shipping to mainland UK.
I have reduced the price to reflect the fact that the mute button has a hairline crack. I have dropped a little Superglue onto the button and all works perfectly well. The buttons cost £1 so I'm informed and are fairly straightforward to replace. Everything else is superb!

[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]TC Electronic Staccato '51 Bass Head[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]In response to Rocco Prestia's (Tower of Power's bassist) stringent needs, TC Electronic present the Stacatto '51. Based upon TC's best-selling RH450 head, the Staccato 51, and as such has all the unique features of the 450 such as Tubetone Technology, Spectra Comp per-string compression and integrated fast-tracking chromatic tuner. The Staccato however is voiced for Rocco's unique "Finger Style Funk" playing with accentuated highs and lows and fast, accurate response.[/size][/font][/color]
[b] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Here's what TC Electronic say about the Staccato 51[/font][/color][/b]

[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]The bass world's response to our introduction of award winning RH450 and Classic450 has been overwhelming. Now, with the help of a true world-class bass legend, we introduce our third amp to deliver instant world-class bass tone - we are proud to present our cooperation with, Tower Of Power's Rocco Prestia on Staccato'51[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]Think of legendary bass players and Francis Rocco Prestia features on every list. For over 40 years now Rocco's bass has been underpinning the groove for Californian funk legends Tower of Power. In that time Rocco has defined his own style and become synonymous with the much-imitated 'Finger Style Funk' that he pioneered back in the '60s and '70s.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]Now TC and Rocco have joined forces to make Staccato'51 - a custom-tuned version of the RH450 that's been made to Rocco's exact specification and ear. It may look like the RH450 bass head, but the sound design is completely different and meets the demands of a legend like Rocco Prestia - both on stage and in the studio.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]Rocco's sound design on Staccato'51 fits his legendary finger-muting technique like a glove. The full-bodied tone with plenty of highs and lows as well as the ultra fast precision response enhances the percussive elements of Rocco's playing to perfection.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]In addition to the sheer tone shaping, Rocco has added a touch of our SpectraComp per-string compression to tighten the sound even more. And finally a touch of TubeTone brings out the growl of Staccato'51 when really digging into those low-end notes with his powerful right hand technique.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]To achieve perfect tone, Rocco pairs his Staccato'51 with a stack of our RS cabinets - An RS410 and two RS212s - giving him both punch and enough low end to stand out on stage with the 10-piece Tower of Power band.[/size][/font][/color]
