@Madjon1973 I'd be very interested to see some photos of your V8 - sounds totally different to mine. For a start, the jack socket on mine is metal: Very sturdy. I'm not aware of there ever having been a V8 released with a plastic socket? One of the 'premium' features of the V8 that sets it...

A few pics, as requested :D

A short update on this. My first call of business was to upgrade my bass guitar, which I did. It made such a big difference to what I am hearing through the cabinet that I am now questioning the need for a second one. I plan to give it a few rehearsals then decide. I posted on the bass upgrade...

I see very little information on the Sire V8 so I thought I would post a first impressions after buying one a couple of weeks ago. A bit of background to this review - I am/was primarily a guitarist who dabbled in bass over the years. About 2 years ago I started playing seriously as part of a...

Thanks for all the replies. What I am getting is that another cab should help me, but if I still find it lacking after that, a more powerful amp would be the way to go. I've seen some talk of the BC208 being a poor option for tightening up the low end. Given I want to keep my current BC208...

It is a Big Band big band. Not the 'classic' setup but, 3 trumpets, 3 sax, 2 clarinets, 1 trombone, guitar, drums, 2 singers. I would point out that this extra setup is more or less only for rehearsal. I mentioned 'small' gigs - these are like coffee shop/small club gigs where there would be a...

So the cabs are 8ohms and I _think_ the BQ250 is 4ohms.... I'm not too snappy on this stuff but I think that should be OK...

Hi First time I have a TC Electronic BQ250 going into a BC208 cabinet which I love. Small, light and decent sound. I use the cab for rehearsal and small gigs. At 'normal' gigs the DI from the BQ250 typically goes straight to the desk and in-house PA. Now I am playing in a big band (jazz/funk)...
