TC News - 3 brand new bass combos and RH450 power test....

TC Electronic's bass combo range is tripled...

TC Electronic's Combo450 might just be the most versatile bass combo on the market. Now it is joined by ComboClassic and ComboStaccato which add classic tones and distinct bass flavors to a range that now has something for everyone

Combo450 is TC Electronic's first bass amp combo, offering the rich tone and versatility of the award-winning RH450 amp matched with TC customized Eminence drivers and tweeter to deliver a clean, punchy and powerful sound. Now TC Electronic has announced two new combos to make up a range that now offers something for bass players everywhere

The brand new ComboClassic delivers pure tone and power by offering players easy access to a wide range of classic tones, all via a versatile vintage tone control section. ComboStaccato is a new combo that uses a custom-tuned amp made to Tower Of Power and bass legend Rocco Prestia's exact specification and ear. It offers a full-bodied tone and its ultra fast precision response enhances the percussive elements of Rocco's playing to perfection.

With ComboClassic and ComboStaccato added to Combo450, bass players now have a range of combos that deliver on all levels, and whichever one they choose they will enjoy some incredible features that will take their sound to a new level. The unique TubeTone^TM control section in each bass head delivers all of the rich characteristics of a full-on tube amp while SpectraComp^TM delivers more bite and punch than any other bass amp compressor by allowing 'per string' compression.
