    Is it risky to run a Speakon to 1/4" adapter?

    Hello people of talk bass, I recently picked up a tc electronic thrust bq500, and realized that my cabinet (peavey cab with two 10" and a 15", 4 ohms, peak capabilities of 400 watts) only takes 1/4 inch speaker cable, and the head only does speakon. I went ahead and bought an adapter, but after...

    Downsizing My Amp

    Hey all, My current amp is a MarkBass CMD 102P (2x10 300/500W) combo. I know it isn't exactly huge and I find it relatively easy to carry around at 45 lbs, but I would like to downsize (We moved into a smaller place and my wife is not exactly thrilled with a bulky bass amp beside the bed LOL)...

    TC Electronics Compression Types

    Does anyone know: Is the “Thrust” compressor in the TC Electronics amp heads the same one-knob compressor as the TC Electronics Spectracomp? The descriptions of how they both function seem very similar (algorithms etc).

    TC BQ500 Gig Review

    So, I did a gig on Friday at the lovely La Mesa Wine Works. A quick thank you to them. They are a great venue staffed with great folks. In lieu of the usual gig report (it went well) I wanted to drop a review of TC's dirt-cheap BQ500 "Thrust" bass head, as I bought one as a backup and wanted...

    Two TC Electronics Heads Connected Together

    Already own a TC Electronic BH550. Just ordered a new TC Electronic BQ500. My setup is: tc-003. How do I go out of the XLR of one amp and into the other amp guitar input? The existing AUX in is useless because it bypasses amplifiers preamp circuit. What are the correct cords to hook up...

    Is this a dumb idea?

    *Pulls tab on can of worms and throws* So, I own a TC Electronic BQ500 ($249) head and a Hartke 112B ($299) cabinet. I enjoy them. The small package, the sound, the price, all of it....except for the volume restriction, which is to be expected at this price level. I can't just pick up...

    Has anyone tried this amp? It's 500 watts at only $249. I need something now and that's pretty cheap.

    BUGERA BT210TS VS. SEISMIC AUDIO 210 (W/TWEETER)

    Yes, these are both bargain basement quality cabinets (happy to be told I'm wrong) They're both made of inexpensive materials as far as construction goes, and I'm willing to live with that. MDF will be fine as long as I don't get it wet or drop it. Power handling doesn't have to exceed 400...
