New TC Electronic bass combo - BG250
- Thread starter 4-string
- Start date
Why, are you planning on buying one?
My guess is that this is 250w, but without the APM. It could also be exactly like the BG500 power wise, but they altered the ratings. My money is not on the latter.
The TonePrint concept is very cool IMO, putting it in a combo makes this an interesting product for many I would think.

I just saw this on the Facebook page and through e-mail. If it's cheaper than the BG500, I'm certainly interested. I need a new, louder combo and I quite like TCE bass amps, love my BH500 head.
Anybody have any ideas what price these are going to be?

I've just seen that DV247 have this for sale for £329 in the UK at the moment. That's about £200 cheaper than the BG500's. Not too bad, especially for a light weight combo, with all of the fancy stuff built into it.
Just watched all the videos...color me interested,
and I don't need anything else! This is where technology needs to be going...that Toneprint looks great. I am actually excited about something again.

Say WHATTTT!
That's cheap...and at that weight?!
Perfect little combo...good enough for practice and small gigs.

Exactly why I'm interested. Our college orchestra is touring Europe in the summer, and my 35watt little combo just won't cut it, and my full TCE stack is too much to take. So, this is right in the middle. Light too, which is absolutely ideal for carrying around.
At this price, well below GB/MB and even the Ibanez Promethean, I think I've found my small/light/fully featured combo.
Looks very cool, but I am not so much into factory pre- programmed effects, and I tend not to like multi effect units. But, looks like a cool combo.
A few years ago I would agree that most programmed effects just plain sucked, but newer ones have combined certain effects (with various parms) to create some very cool sounds. My thinking is TCE, being a pioneer in great sounding effects, probably has some cool ones built into this combo.
Is there a jack for a second cabinet?
Toneprint is cool.
Hope it's really 250W
What would be cool is to make a Toneprint 'plugin' to use with the RH450. No spectracomp, but perhaps a compression Toneprint?

Looks great, except, 15" + tweeter
This is going to leave the standard midrange hole.
I bet it would sound even better with their first 15" being paired with a midrange.

Anyone seen a manual for these yet? - none I can find on the website, but would love to know if you can run an extention cab from it.
