Combo Recommendation?

OP asked for user experiences so here's what I know. I recently picked up a TC BG250-15 for really cheap because it was broken. It was easy to fix and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with how good it sounds. Will it replace my TT-800, WD-800, or my other higher line stuff? No. But if I had the TC and nothing else I wouldn't be left wanting for much. That is the only combo I have recent experience with. HTH.

Check. Check. Check.

I love the part in the vid where James talks about early on in their prototyping they simply copied the OG Ampeg box, and found it was going to take engineering something new . . . .
 
Hands down ampeg rb15. From your description this combo fits it to a T. I have one and it’s reminiscent of the old B-15. True ampeg tone that won’t break the bank or your back. My second choice would be a peavey. Big time thumper that also won’t break the bank or your back.
