Did anyone try this rig already? It seems really cool. I love the sound of a good 15" cab. Unfortunately many 15" cabs are not built to be used alone but in a stack along with a 4x10. This one seems to be a real 15" stand alone. The head seems great too. |

Thanks for the head's up on this - I can't wait to try it out! I love 15" speakers and I love lightweight! |

In an interview for Guitar Center, Randy explains he wanted to get back to the sound of a B15 but with the reliability and portability of a modern rig. In my case it would be my dream rig if it does sound close to a B15 but with more volume. If successful, this head priced at $799, like an Ampeg Svt7, is going to put a serious dent in Ampeg's marketshare. IMO, Ampeg is like Gibson a poorly managed iconic brand. |

my question is does this mean that he plans on doing more live bass work? His playing with Jon luc Ponty and Billy Cobham are great and I would love to hear him go back to that kind of music. |

In the interview, he refers to those years as something like "been there done that" and seems to be more incline to hold a more supportive bassist role those days. So, to answer your question, it does not sound like it. |

In fact, he gets my respects because he makes $$$ doing music. Good for him. Saw him recently playing on Leno with Steven Tyler/Joe Perry. They played a '70s Aerosmith song (forgot which one). |

I gave this rig a shot at the local GC using an Ibanez SoundGear type bass off the display wall (probably a 300). I could see 3 or 4 tubes glowing away but I didn't feel the warm fuzzy sound that I could get from older hybrid amps like SWR SM900 or Eden Travelers. I recall that there were similar observations with the Mark Bass Little Mark Tube 500/800 sounding too solid state. Just wondering if anyone else has been able to give the TTE 500/800 a go and what they thought. I'd give up my Mark Bass 2x10 combo is the TTEs had a nice fuzzy tone, but since it is more solid state sounding I will stick with the portability of the combo. |
