bassbloke Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I'm looking to sell some of my Tech Soundsystems gear. [s]1) Tech ND212S, 2 x 12 lightweight cab [url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/12er/popup_212.jpg"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/image...r/popup_212.jpg[/url] Excellent condition. I am the 2nd owner and it's done around half a dozen gigs and probably 50 or so rehearsals. Never pushed that hard - never needed to. 600W at 4Ohms, very light and very loud. [b]Reduced to £360. Collection only[/b][/s]. [b]Being sold to Flanker[/b] [s]2) Tech Mini15 [url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/15_18er/popup_115mini"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/image...r/popup_115mini[/url] Good condition. Some fluffing to the carpet in one small area. It's done 1 gig and a few rehearsals. 400 at 4Ohms. Very, very light at surprising bottom end considering the dimensions. Looking for £300[/s] SOLD to Whynot. 3) Tech TVM350 Head mounted in 3U Stagg bag with quality 1 metre speakon - speakon. [url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/tvm/tvm_full.jpg"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/tvm/tvm_full.jpg[/url] Good condition. 350 Watts at 4 Ohms, 420 Watts at 2 Ohms. Solid state head with a very warm, valve-like sound. Passive EQ, bass and treble boost, onboard compressor. NOTE: There is a design flaw with the optical compressor on this range of amp. It introduces a lot of harmonic distortion. TecAmp know and offered to take both my TVM heads back at RRP and sell me a Performer Head instead. I opted to stick with them though. I love the sound fo the amp and the current exchaneg rate put me off. This amp also has a new power supply board. The new board was sourced at considerable expense from TecAmp/Tech. Amp has worked fine since. [s][b]Reduced to £260.[/s] Collection only. Final price £240 [/b] I am selling because I have a Tech ND410S and Tech TVM 600 and a house that is starting to look like a music shop and I have another baby on the way and will be moving soon. So, much as I love this gear, it needs to go. Edited May 8, 2009 by bassbloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlotta Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i love the look of the cabinets , something kitchy as an old vintage fridge , but i dig a lot. They are larger than conventional simlar 2X12 cabinets or larger than the tecamp production,out of curiosity? Or just an Eye-effect produced by the unconventional Shape? I hope i would get to try one, someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a photo of OBBM lifting one above his head at a previous Bass Bash. I've got my wife and kids to roadie for me in the past - totally guilt free. I've never seen or tried the new TecAmp gear.

Bigwan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The newer tecamp gear seems to be the same cab designs but with a facelift, and a few more models (3 different 2x12 cabs in the range now). They are rediculously expensive new now though! In other words get these bought! If I was nearer I'd have that 1x15 off you in a jiffy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have spent the last two weeks staring at them thinking "do I, don;t I?" Alas, I only can justify keeping equipment I'll actually use. So these, plus my Boss Loopstation and maybe a Fender US Deluxe P have to go.

Owen Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I played through a 2x12 like this one in the bassbash I went to. It was BONKERS. If I had any need for a cab I would be all over this. Bargalicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much more this cab will give you over your existing 210XT. The 12" drivers have a very different character to the 10s and, at lower volumes, the 2 x 12 sounds 'nicer' with more presence and character. However, once you ramp up the volume, the is higher impedance and power handling so sounds much more contained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbass7750 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi, I'm interested. I use a MarkBass F1 with an EBS Neo212. Happy with the sound etc, but the extra height and smaller width of the Tech is appealing - it moves the sound a bit closer to my ears! Anyone have any thoughts on how the sound of the Tech would compare with my EBS? Oh, and whereabouts are you bassbloke? Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I've never ever heard an EBS rig, so I really couldn't comment. The Tech cabs have quite a compressed sound. They never sound to harsh or peaky, even with the horn voicing set to aggressive. I'm in Chessington, KT9. Is your EBS 4 or 8 Ohm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbloke Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Only the TVM350 head left now for the bargain price of £240. That's right, £240 for a German, handmade amplifier with twin speakon outputs, passive EQ, tuner and line out, DI out and more blue lights than you'd normally see at chucking out time in Romford.
