JPJ Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I had the BG500 2x10 combo which I didn't like, I couldn't get a tone out of it that didn't sound 'brittle' to my old ears. I've now got the BG250 208 combo and its great. Lovely warm sound, surprising loud for 2 x 8" speakers (I've upgraded to get the full 250 in 4 ohms) and so portable. Its ideal for rehearsals and acoustic style gigs. As someone else has already said, the SpectraComp toneprint adds a lot of warmth and girth to the overall tone so I'd also recommend this.

Low End Bee Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I've had a TC 450 Classic for 5 years now. Never missed a beat. Sits well in the mix and suits my playing. I'm not over fussy about getting a pefect 'tone'. I like a less than hi-fi rough arsed bass sound and it doesn't take much fiddling to get what I want. I can't think of any reason to replace it. It's very loud, it DI's well, it's portable and reliable. The spectracomp is a lot better than the dual band jobbie pedal I used to use before too. The cabs are the best bit of the deal though. I've got an RS210 and RS112. I've tried other heads through them (Mark Bass. Orange, Gallien Kruger, etc.) and they always sounded the part. Just the 1x12 is fine for rehearsals with a noisy drummer. Conversely I've stuck the head through a Barefaced Compact and a Hartke 4x10 and it sounded really horrible. I'm guessing cab choice is important.
