Well the Bag Ends fell through, Think I'm gonna go with an RS210C and an RS112...

That's unfortunate but in the end the RS210C & RS112 will serve you well & it will pair up nicely with the RH750 & I believe you're also getting the optional footswitch....WOW
you're getting your self a nice compact light weight but pleny powerful great sounding rig....Good Job... :) I'll think you'll like TC Electronic.

At least the TC Electronic gear is good. It's not like you're settling for an inferior product. I would have gone with a 410 TC cab for myself, but the Ampeg is working good for me. Best of luck with the new gear. Image

Well the 210C is $250 more than the 210 so I will be placing the head directly on the cabinet. I could see an extra 100 or even 150, but not worth it to me. Got the 210 and 112 from sweetwater for $888 free ship, no tax great return policy and great reviews.

On another note the 750 and foot switch arrived today and sound phenomenal with the Ampeg 610 cabinet! Once the TC cabs arrive on Thursday, I'll let ya know how it sounds. But now I don't want to part with the 610...

Coool!!! Yeah I knew you'd like 'the RH750 & footswich........ The RH450 & RH750 Combos has piqued my interest ...once again as they're well thought out....the head can be taken out of the combo if needed & you can hook up a 2nd cabinet to the combo, I also like the detatchable roll cart that comes with 450 & 750 is just plain smart.

I really like the SVT-410HLF cab, with the RH450 head. It pounds.

There's no Doubt it does pound with an Ampeg cabinet, :) ......... Daddyo_1 played his RH750 through an Ampeg 6x10 cabinet & was Impressed....... but there's something to be said about the powerful Neodymium light weight cab that are out today ( the average Neo 4x10 cabinet is 56 lbs)... I cringe when ever I have to haul my 88 lbs SWR 4x10 Workingpro cabinet ...... :?

Well, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. Wish I could figure out how to post a pic...

The 2 TC cabs out perform anything I've ever played on. I can easily carry one in each hand with little to no effort. The 112 in particular is unbelievably light! With all the different tone control on the 750, and 3 presets... man oh man. Switched back and forth between the Ampeg SVT 610 HLF and umm.. that cabinet is now for sale. I'm a believer!!! I watched a video discussing placement of the 210 on the 112 and when you slide the 210 back so that the rear of both cabinets are lined up, the sound is noticeably different. Special Thanks to Mr. Nylon for introducing me to TC Electronics!

Congrats on your new purchase. I have the TCE BH500 head and BC210 and BC212 cabs. I use the 212 for small rooms and both cabs for louder venues. I can stack them on their sides or vertically. Stacking them vertically is a nice feature and puts the cabs closer to your ears.
You'll be much happier though, if you buy covers for the head and cabs. The skins are not at all durable and they scratch and gouge easily.

Bit late maybe, but have you tried any EBS gear? I have the HD350 head and 1x12, 2x12, 4x10 Neo cabs and the quality of the gear is superb as is the sound, not cheap though but I would say that they (EBS) are some of the best bass gear I have ever come across.

I have what I consider to be a "scalable" rig. Gear that I can mix and match to suit the occaision.
I have an SWR RedHead combo and a Traynor ext cabinet (115 + 210) and an Ampeg PF500.
The Redhead by itself will suit almost any smaller room or even a medium sized room if I don't need a ton of volume.
For most bar situations adding the ext cab to the Redhead is more than enough.
If I need even more than that then I can run the Ampeg head and the ext cab.
I've also tried running the head and cab as a slave from the Redhead. Now that pounds!

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
