I bought the BG250-112 when it first came out. I use it for upright and electric basses. It works great in every setting. Medium volume to kind of loud bands are no problem for this amp. It can't hang with 2 Marshall stacks blasting on 11, but it can hang with a loud-ish club band. Works really well for upright bass with lower volume acoustic bands. I use it as my monitor for larger stages and showrooms when going direct. It easily handles all my club gigs. Going strong for 3 years now without a glitch.

Pros- + Lightweight and decent power
Cons- - Did not like the tone no matter hat the EQ setting was
Very lightweight and good size.
Decent amount of power for acoustic gigs or practice.
I could not get a good tone out of this amp to save my life.
The EQ is unusual but I think the real issue is cabinet tuning or driver choice.
There are a number of threads that offer EQ suggestions (or outboard EQ) to make it sound differently.
I kept mine a week and have never missed it- Price Paid:
- Bought it used and it was dead mint for $150. Sold for $185 to a local shop.

Good small amp- 4/5, 4 out of 5, reviewed Sep 14, 2016
Pros- + Lightweight
Cons- - OK tone, the TonePrint feature wasn't all that useful
Nice smaller amp in a decent form factor. Lightweight, can carry with one hand down a set of stairs easily. Volume good for rehearsal or small club. TonePrint feature didn't seem to work properly.
