New TC Electronic bass combo - BG250

[Marihino]

Exactly. Lack of midrange in 15" speakers is a myth that has nothing to do with reality.

Seems to be coming in at a great price point, too.

Personally, I wouldn't give up the presets for TonePrint, but it would be cool if they could fit both in the RH heads.

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?

Yes, maybe, I do use lots of emulation via Amplitube, and love it. It is just that so far I always liked best single effect pedals, and not multi. But emulation came a long long way.

This amp has got to be ready for release soon, I've just updated my TonePrint app and there's a specific category for the BG250.

I really want to get my hands on one of these combos.

From the March 21st Premier Guitar news release...

"The BG250 will be available May 2012 in the EU and June 2012 in the US for $399."

Here's a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] to the release.

Yeah this looks pretty neat. I'm really interested in the Toneprint, I think it's kinda wild.

Right there with you.

I downloaded the Toneprint app just to check it out, and if this thing works like they say, it's gonna be a seriously cool piece of gear.

Can't wait.

 

[4-string]

TonePrint works very well for the pedals, pretty cool consept.

You can can get 15s with better mid response then some 10s and vice versa

Look at the polar charts.
15" don't have the midrange dispersion that matches the tweeter.

Just being on axis isn't practical

Reference the fEarful threads.

15" + Midrange is absolute incredible option. The tweeter in this looks to be old world thinking.

There are a couple of videos on youtube and it sounds beautiful, no lack of mid at all:

Makes me wish I didn't get my GK MB112 a few months ago.. this seems like a much better option. I'd use the hell out of these effects!

Lots can be said about TC amps, but lack of mids isn't an issue IMO.

I just found out about this while browsing the new BP mag ( it's listed in the New Gear section ) .. It's been a long time but I feel a really bad case of G.A.S. coming on!

 

[Davyo]

So does anyone know who in the US will be selling the BG250,,,, the claimed USA release date of June is coming up really soon and I would like to order or pre-order one.

I have checked all the major US stores and no one has it listed even for pre-order.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

I just got a email from tc that it is shipping now. Will have to check with some dealers to see if it is true.
