    TC Electronics BG 250 combo amp screwed up by updating new firmware

    I tried with wife's Samsung S23 but no good either. But, I actually managed to change effects with the Toneprint app on my PC and a USB cable. As the Swedish saying goes, there's no cow on the ice for now. (Obviously in Swedish, meaning that there is no immediate crisis dispite that there is an...

    TC Electronics BG 250 combo amp screwed up by updating new firmware

    Bought my Bg250-208 in early 2015, suppose it's built in 2014. It has ceased to respond when I "beam" effects to it. Tried different cables an basses, the Android pohone makes its noise but nada response from the amp. It worked some 6 months ago. Reading this post for sure discouraged me from...

    TC Electronic, no more tone prints for BG amps?

    Problem resolved, probably tunnel vision.

    TC Electronic, no more tone prints for BG amps?

    Thanks! That thread goes back to 2020 and at that time it was still possible to load toneprints to the amp from the phone. (Let alone that there were bugs, it did not always work perfect ). I never had any such issues. My current problem was that the Android phone app no longer has any dedicated...

    TC Electronic, no more tone prints for BG amps?

    Opened the Android Tone Print app for the first time in a couple of years. It looks very different and I can't find the tone prints for any of the bass amps, like BG250-208 in my case. There are only prints for the pedals. Have they quit supporting tone prints for the amps completely??

    Fender Rumble 500 vs Orange Crush (Differences)

    Regarding the Rumble DI out: From what I understand, everything you touch on the front panel affects the DI. There is no way to send a dry signal to the PA from the amp. Even adjusting the master volume will adjust the DI level accordingly. This put me off when I was about to buy a 500 210...

    NBD - '71 Precision back in the fold

    A humble question, what's a B neck? I have a -78 sunburst P, with a very comfey, rounded profile neck, rosewood. Is that a 'B'? Or does B refer to something else than neck profile?

    "Real rock" bassists to listen to. Looking for recommendations

    Has anyone mentioned Jim Lea from British glam rockers Slade? Also a great violin player, piano too I think.

    One Bass to do it all?

    Sandberg California 5 string. It has a P-pickup and an MM style pup at the bridge. With a so far planned additional switch I can run only one of the coils =Jazz Bass. Pretty versatile. Fretlless will be difficult on it though.

    Looking for a Wilkinson 4+1 5 string conversion bridge part.

    That happened to me too before I started to hold the string bushing with a plier when tuning up after fitting the string. Then, for the fine tuning I had no issues.

    Most artfully crafted bassline in a pop song

    Has anyone mentioned Far, far away by Slade?

    "Bass is not played that way" ?!

    I have kindly advised keyboard players to generally stay away from the far left side of their instrument, and to particularly leave my bass lines to me. It has been accepted. I have also pointed out to drummers when they rush or drag. Since I'm a bass player nobody cares what I do as long as I...

    Need help: compact head with headphones out

    All mentioned are probably good choises. One thing to consider, and that I miss on some amps is a pre/post switch for the DI out. I mean, sometimes you want to send a dry signal to the mix, allowing you to change your eq settings without affecting the PA sound. Next time you actaully want to...

    Perfect 5 String P Bass??

    Ever considered a Sandberg California VM? Highly respected here in Europe. Comes in different lengths, maple or rosewood, with a single P pickup, or with an MM style + reversed P pickup, looks like Delano? Active/passive mode, road worn or shining new. Pricey as new, but try find a second hand.
