I've had a BG250-115 and a 208. Both were cracking little amps, good for live work with the DI socket. Loud enough for most applications, especially if you slaved the two together. Like many have said, they weren't without problems. I'm from a Double bass and Peavey background and love the old...

Rickenbacker 4003, 1x15 and 2x8. Gorgeous. End of story.

Handled the larger venue admirably. A bit boomy, but that is the venue sound and not really the amp. You lose dynamics when the volume is raised, but then my old Peavey rig did the same, so the TC is a keeper. Next report will be with the Rickenbacker stereo setup when I play next weekend

That's unfortunate to hear. TC stuff is very good quality. I did a small gig last night with the 2 linked and can report back that the top end is now clearer, possibly because the rig is taller. You have to spend a bit of time getting the volume of each amp equal, or to your liking. I had hoped...

Gigging this weekend (sat and sun) so I'll let you know.

I did the measurements first of all and the 208 is 3mm wider than the 115. I just moved the rubber feet from the bottom to the side as they are attached to the corner protectors and don't need redrilling to give clearance over the handle on the 115, plus it looks neater..

Out of the XLR and into the INPUT jack. I asked TC if it was possible before doing it and they confirmed it was OK. Very late last night when I got round to doing the test, but it seems OK so far. The 208 isn't loud as others say, but it gives an excellent top end, which is what I was after as I...

So it does!!! My 208 arrived today, so I had to try it out with all 4 basses. Sounds good linked together or "ric-O-sounded" in stereo. Only ever did that once before about 12 years ago.

You can link BG250's together by coming out of the XLR output and into the 6mm jack input.

Having tried combos and separates for the last 33 years I can happily say that you will never beat the sound of a mixed set up, especially as you can mix speaker sizes. But this wee combo really does all you need for most smaller venues, especially if you go through a PA. And it certainly helps...
