ojplaysbass Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 hi - I was wondering if anyone's run an A/B test with or tried both of these? the size of the TC really appeals to me and the toneprint looks like a great addition, but is its 250w as plentiful as the EBS 250w? I'm looking for a backup for my Trace Elliot v300 head which is plenty for me at about 12 o'clock on gain & master - just using a single 4ohm schroeder 1210R cab. cheers Quote
k50 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 No reply's to this topic yet ? I'm also considering either one of these amps as a light weight back up . Would the EBS deliver , in real terms more than the TC ? Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Well I've not tried the TC, but I bought a reidmar as a backup for my Eden 400. Eden now stays at home as the reidmar is simply stunning, very full rich sound and incredibly loud for an amp rated at 250W at 4 ohm, blows the Eden into the weeds! Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Not tried the 250 - but the Reidmar more than keeps up with the TC's larger siblings. Quote
k50 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks for the info guys , ended up ordering a shuttle max 9.2. Not quiet sure how that happened , maybe the EBS next time . Now have to figure out what to tell the other half ! Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Good choice. You'll love the Shuttle - Genz make some great amps. Quote
ojplaysbass Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 my problem is - i have a feeling that the reidmar's sound is going to be more to my liking, but for the price and portability the BH250 can't really be ignored - the videos on youtube don't really do much for me - can anyone tell me if it it delivers in tone and volume like the reidmar (or even like the GK MB200)?

EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 TC vs EBS? Chalk and Cheese. (Assuming that the TC BH250 is more tonally like their other offerings) Quote
ojplaysbass Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 fair point. if only the reidmar was more dinky - it'd be a complete no brainer Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I know. Its still not dinky enough for my liking :-) Quote
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I seem to be in the minority on here but I find the BH250 seriously lacking in volum when playing with a band. Don't get me wrong it is a lovely soundng amp and the Toneprint feature is great but the Mark Bass head comes out every time for gigs and rehearsals!

I'll ask to see if we can get that changed. I'll see if I can find the necessary links - in the meantime, here's the page that allows you to access every magazine free of charge. http://www.iguitarmag.com/magazine-editions/ Quote
