BASSIDA aka Ida Funkhouser

For a long time I thought that a good bass amp must weigh enough to dislocate your shoulder. If you want to make something happen at the low end you will need pure mass to get through and set your tonal and rhythmical mark. But technology also advances in the music world and so the light weights start to make ground by improving in all areas.

In one of my visits to a local music store I came across one of this little fellows. I had read a lot about tc electronic bass gear, specially the RebelHead RH450 bass amp top. Unfortunately I was not able to test it and check it out not even superficially. But despite the short glance, something grabbed my attention: 3 individually programmable presets!

Once home, I went straight to the net to see what I can find out on the pygmy with the bold name and the presets. YouTube is always a good source and the best audio/visual search engine. And so I found “Bassida” demoing the RH450 during NAMM show 09. Nice little video explaining the basics of the tc electronics amp. The RebelHead looks really good! But in the video you will discover more eye candy... Njoy!
