    online support website is an absolutely mess | Bass Amplifiers

    I tried to get support information since weeks now, but the online support is an absolutely disgrace.
    Its extremely slow, hard to use and its impossible to communicate there.
    I got an email about a case which obviously needs some information from me, I have no clue what it could be.

    Whats going on there?

    Bg 250 I can’t beam new effects into my amp. Do I need the foot switch to that?... | Bass Amplifiers

    I can't get any new effects into my BG250. I've followed instructions and tutorials but nothing happens. Do I need the foot switch to store new effects in my amp?

      Pedro Rodrigues Hi Lars please follow these steps to transfer Toneprints from your Phone or tablet to your amp without the need of a computer.
      1) Download the TC Electronic Toneprint app from your app store.
      2) Open the App and go to Library > Toneprint Bass Amps. In here you will find all compatible Toneprints with your TC bass amp.
      3) Once you have selected your toneprint, set the volume on your phone or tablet to around 60 - 80%. Any quieter or louder can sometimes cause the tone to distort and not transfer correctly.
      4) Hold the speaker of your phone no more than 2cm away from the strings, directly above the pickup. Ensure that you have the pickup level at max.
      5) Press Beam to Amp in the Toneprint amp and you should hear the soothing tones of the Toneprint being transferred. The indicator light next to Toneprint dial should flash green to show it is being transferred.
      6) You are all done. Increase the Toneprint level and you should hear the setting of the Toneprint.
      If you are using an amp with multiple Toneprint slots, such as the BH550, ensure that you select which slot you want to send the Toneprint to.

    i am using a RH-450 Basshead which has some problems with the RC-4 remote.

    Is there a service manual for the RC-4 available, so i can do some trouble shooting?

    Best BQ series bass head compatible with Ashdown 1x15 | Bass Amplifiers

    Tried out a BQ500 with a TC 115 cab last week and really liked it.

    I have an Ashdown 115 300w cab rated at 8 ohms and I wondered which BQ would be best rated to power it. I play small pubs and halls and rarely DI.

    Keen also to understand how the BQ and RH series rate against the BQ series.

      William Reichling Hello Simon, Since your Ashdown cab is rated at 8 ohms, the BQ500 would work fine. The BQ500 would run the full 500 Watts @ 4 ohms, so if you wanted to get another 8-ohm cab later, you would be able to run the full 500 watts for larger venues.

    BH250 Aux-in does not work when headphones plugged in: Feature or bug? | Bass Amplifiers

    I have just purchased a BH250 to carry around and play when in hotels rooms and also in small sessions. As I need to play along to bits and pieces I get sent from fellow musicians its quite handy that the amp comes with a aux-in to connect e.g. with a phone. However I just noticed that while the aux-in is heard on speakers, its not functioning when headphones are plugged in, so you cant listen to the track on the headphones. Is this intentional? If yes. this does not make sense at least to me.

      Claus Bay Hi Frank ... You should be able to hear the AUX source through the headphone output! Connecting headphones will only mute the speaker output.

    Change of broken knobs of RH450 | Bass Amplifiers

    Hello,

    I recently contacted the after sale and spare part service, to change the knobs of my bass amp RH450 which are cracked.

    Few years ago, I had this issue with cracked knobs and TC Electonics quickly replied to me and send me new knobs (saying these was new design). Unfortunately these new ones broke again.

    I sent message to music tribe. And I get an automatic message saying that the team will « endeavor to respond to me as soon as possible ». With a case number CAS-134743-J8K9N5. A good start.

    Nevertheless, 3 weeks later, I didn’t yet received any reply, knowing I already sent a kind reminder. I'm starting to be a little bit angry.

    Could someone at music tribe or TC Electronic please reply to me about this knobs issue ? How to change them please ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Fabrice

        Nigel Turner Hi John, I am sorry, but I do not work in the spares department and do not have this information. However, if you submit a spares request ticket by going to the Support tab at the top of the page, then one of my colleagues in the spares team will be able to supply you with the correct information.

      Nigel Turner Hi jbass4. I would advise putting in a support ticket (via Tab at the top of the page) which will get routed through to our parts department. I cannot promise that we will have stock of these particular knobs but it would be the first place to try.

        Nigel Turner Hi jbass4, I am very sorry regarding the lack of contact from our spares team and makes me look a fool for telling you to contact them in the first place. Thomann would probably have got the parts from the same team. Do you have the case number please so that I can investigate further. Many thanks.

      Jérôme Champagne Does anybody knows how to make the knobs stick to the potentiometers to avoid these to fall again?

      • TC Electronics RH450
        Nigel Turner I don't know what the pot shafts are made of or the knobs, as have never seen one, however for the Midas consoles, if we ever had an issue like this with old product we used a copper tape. Sticky on one side to fix to the shaft and then this tightened up the connection between the two parts. The other option to copper tape is putting a small piece of paper across the end of the shaft and then pushing the knob on pushed the paper down the shaft and made a tight fit. I guess its just a cheaper version that the copper tape. If you want something a bit more permanent, then maybe a very small amount of silicon.
