Hi, I was after a new small practice amp. My local music shop ( gig-gear harlow) had a good selection and I initially was after something 25-50 watt, however after much fiddling I ended up with a tc electonic BH 250. Its really small with 2x 8 inch speakers, but chucks out over 200watts!. Yep, didn't really believe it until I tried it, its really loud, great tone with tons of bottom end ( and I usually use a barefaced 2x 12) No idea how they do it but its very, very good. It was £230 and I think worth every penny. The sales guys they love them as they sound great and are flying out the door Hope this helps Sean

thanks for that guys. plenty to chew on!

Hi, I have just bought a Squire classic vibe telecaster, and I would like to change the pick -up, but I don't know where to start. Do the chinese stock pick-ups sound like the American ones? The Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder seems a popular replacement , any one tried one? Any other recommendations? I usually play a US precision into a orange bass terror. I play in a pub covers band and I'm ideally looking for something that can cut through a little better than the stock pick -up Thanks, Sean

Thanks for all your help. I'll be going for the 500, as i think the 1000 will be overkill!

thanks for that. I also read somewhere that the orange originally sourced theirr tubes from China and admitted that they could be better. No idea if the newer ones are also chinese/better.

Hi, I have a old Ashdown MAG 300w 1x 15 which I occasionally use with an extension cab while I like it and its never let me down I'm thinking of upgrading. Been put off an ABM 500 due to some comments regarding a lack of volume., Where the UK ones just louder?. I like the look of the bass terror but I'm after some advice, I will be running it into an ABM 4x 10 ( 600w i think) and a MAG deep (250w) and I was which terror would be best? I know they have some valve issues, so I would swopping them for some 'quiter' ones enable me to go more for the 1000 without things going pop or would the 500 give me enough wunph to cut through? I play the pub circuit, plus the occasional larger venue Any advice wecome cheers, Sean
