I did a show a few months ago and the bassist for the opening act has the same RS212x2 setup, so I asked him to bring one of his and we ran 3 212's!!! That was a wall of sound. If I had any reason I'd add a 3rd 212.

TC RH450 Club
- Thread starter REAPER52
- Start date
It was absolutely overkill and completely unnecessary but worth every dirty look from the guitar player!
Preach it brother! Lol
Kinda like the Worship leader at one church I play at has a big pedal board with like 6 pedals on it and when I bring mine, he always makes SOME comment.

I just found out that there is an RH450 club. I am a noob here on TB. Drpepper already responded to me about my sentiment. Anyone in here had a succumb RH450? Mine did 3 weeks ago.
15 months old head. Frustrating.
1st on this thread, could be 2nd on TB. There are couple in the tc electronic website forum but there is nobody there to answer.
I got mine the beginning of Aug. 2010. Still going strong. Love it. The price now is half of what I paid.
It sucks how you must have got a dud.15 months old head. Frustrating.
Mine is coming up 5 years old and is the only amp I have been using since I bought it. It has been given no special treatment, I even dropped it a few times too
I figured a club is existent when a certain product is new. I presume the other clubs do as well. I could be wrong.
Had to re-register to the TalkBass forums after years away and just wanted to drop by here and say that, after 5 years service, I still love my RH450/RS210 rig.
It has been with me all over the country and the RH450 has also been dragged around Europe. One of my best purchases in many years!
The only time it had to go in to the shop was when my rehearsal space got flooded. A week or so with the repairer and it is still going strong.
I am on the look out for a smaller cab (even the TC rig can be heavy when you are relying on public transport) but it will be a cab as I want to keep my RH450 tone. I did toy with the idea of a combo but think I'll get an ultralight cab instead.
Much love for the RH450 here!

Good stuff!
My two suggestions on the cabinet would be the Carvin 115MBE and Schroeder Mini (10 or 12). I have had great experience with the Carvin and Mini 12+L.
The Carvin is a quite capable cabinet and cheap...not exactly "ultralight" at ~30 lbs, but because of its dimension, it carries like a small suitcase. Doesn't feel like 30 lbs.
The Schroeder Minis are ~20 lbs. Just awesome. If you can find a used one, they should be in the $350 range. Schroeder Cabinets|Bass Cabinets|California
Nice one drpepper - thanks for that. I might check out the Minis on your recommendation

Glad if it helps.
I have a 212PL and 12+L, and have found that they pair very well with the RH after setting up the midpoints to suit them best.
I got the 12+L fairly recently...actually replaced the Carvin with it. From an earlier experience with a Berg HT112, I had formed the notion in my head that "a 112 won't cut it for me." It's been a while since I had an RS210, but I'm pretty sure that if you were to get a 12+L, your RS210 won't be of very much use to you anymore. Schroeders have gotten a reputation as being nothing more than midrange cannons. From my experience that's something that applied to specific older designs and survives as a myth in terms of the newer models.
I am new to the TC RH450 club and have just finished my first 3 gigs live with this and the RS212 and it has blown me away. I've always been a Ampeg and Markbass guy but this is the best I've played through. I can' believe that I'm just now hearing and trying this brand. I have a RS410 on the way to leave at church and look forward to seeing ho it sounds with the RH450 head. Amazing setup!
Welcome to the club!! I've been using an RH450 and 2 RS212 cabs for a few years now and still love the tone. 2 shows this weekend, one a loud rock club and the other a small basement party. This setup works for all occasions.
