lownote Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I have the chance to buy a TC 2x8 and a BAM 200, but its not practical to try before buying. Now, I already have a Phil Jones rig, which include a 2x7, and frankly it's pretty weak and thin sounding without its Cab 47 support act (when it becomes lovely). I am therefore a little sceptical of whether the TC 2x8 will have any depth of bassness, especially as I assume at the price it's not as high quality at the PJ rig. Does anyone have hands on experience of the BAM/2x8 rig and can commentate on its sound? Yes, I know I could stay with the PJ rig but it's got a lot of money tied up that I can't really afford at the mo, hence looking to down-price.

stewblack Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 You were any closer I'd let you have a loan of mine. All I can say is, I've gigged with it. Shame there's no real way to demonstrate 'bassiness' without physically being there. I suppose set up a cup and saucer on a table, vary the distance and see if you can spill the tea.

jezzaboy Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Dubjukie gigs with 2 of these cabs with a TC head and says the set up works well. Why not drop him a pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karrlander Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I just received my TC 208. Thought to use it mainly for home practice and maybe softer jazz gigs. But I tried it the other day at full band rehearsal with a load drummer, guitar, keys and saxophone and it worked like a charm. I used an Ampeg PF-350 head with it with no problem. It’s not the same as playing on my big rig with 410+115 but when u not need to hit someone in the stomach with the bass my back will be very happy with the 208. And it so cheap I just might get another one to get a little more air moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobatron Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I've not heard the 2x8 cabinet but other recent 2x8s sound impressive in videos. I just got the BAM200 and I'm happy with it so far. Packs a lot of punch for a tiny package. And if it's the rig that's in the for sale section at the moment it's a great price for the package.
