    Re-evaluating my amplification situation

    but also, good lord those drivers are tiny for bass. I'd didn't realize how small they were before I commented.. I would definitely take a good look at some 10 inch or 12 inch cabs. you'll be floored with the difference. My rig is a TC electronic RH450 and a TC 212 cabinet. I've never...

    Re-evaluating my amplification situation

    Honestly, if your volume is normally good enough for you, it's likely the new stage put you in a standingwave and frequency would be more of the issue than volume. If your DI was sends a pre signal to FoH, I'd suggest taking a look at your Eq in such situations before replacing your gear.

    Warwick Custom: Bubinga Pommele Vs. Swamp-ash

    honestly.. I love bubinga. the only bass I've ever owned that sounds better than my bubinga vette's is my 1990 streamer. and a lot of that it's A) 20 years old and B) has Bartolini PU's. One of the things I love most is, i can hear the tone of the wood throughout the entire range of the...

    How much power is REALLY needed on stage?

    I use a TC RH450. I play in LA, so basically I use backlined cab's almost exclusively. Sometimes they are 8-10's, sometimes they're not. Hell sometimes, I'm just DI'd out the back and only hearing myself through the wedges. But I don't mind that. I like a good wedge mix. When I have one, I...

    TC Electronic Black Smith 1600W amp (NAMM 2011)

    you do realize that the RH450 is an under rated 450 watt amp that only weighs between 8 and 9 pounds right? And that sucker matches every bit of power and volume that my old 300 watt tube SVT had. that being said.. the blacksmith.. didnt' even feel like more than 20 lbs. but then. I...

    so, I got to play the beast at NAMM this year. and let me tell you, that 1600 watts, is awesome. even at the relatively low volume required by NAMM security, it was impressive. the massive power just gave this thing all sorts of headroom. the tone just soared. and becuase it's made...

    Why do so many people seem to think that Fretless tone is in the fingers?

    i'd say someone just stepping in and playing a fretless and sounding good, when they don't play fretless often is something uncommon. you gotta be a pretty good player otherwise if you do.

    I don't know why you need 1000w's so, here's my suggestions. shuttle 12.0 1200w's svt 4PRO 1200 w svt 8PRO 2400 w any decent preamp such as a sanamp combined with a power amplifier. but over all, I love TC RH 450. only 450 watts. but man.. you know it's there.
