WOW - TC BAM200 Price today on Amazon

[lark_z]

I've been waiting on Sweetwater to replace my BAM200 head after my first one failed. They're on back order. Today, I cannot even find the BAM200 on Sweetwater's website. I've contacted them about that.

Anyway, surfing around looking for them and this is what I find on Amazon.

Closeout?

That's pretty tempting. How's the volume/power at 8 ohms?

Ordered!

I just purchased the TC Electronics BQ500 head as a backup for my Fender Rumble 500 head so do not really need another head but for a $100, I might have to get it. Heckofa deal IMHO....

@lark_z, thanks for sharing the info on the deal.

If I didn't already have an mb200.....

No clue other than the manufacturer's specs. Mine went out before I was able to finish my shop built cab.

Can you work out a deal to chip in a couple extra bucks for a BH250? They still have those in stock. The BAM200 isn't even listed on Sweetwater now, and they're even getting hard to find on Reverb & EBay...

I started a thread last week wondering what is going on with Music Tribe (the Singapore-based conglomerate that owns Behringer, Bugera, and TC Electronic, among others), as it looks like virtually every major retailer is having a firesale on the vast majority of Music Tribe products.

While not widely reported, China is experiencing some serious economic issues, so I'm wondering if their operations got hit by that...

I just ordered a BH250 yesterday as I miss the one I used to have as a backup. Great amp, nice tone, TonePrints and small enough. I never even gave the BAM a thought, but $99 is a helluva price for a back up. I'm still glad I ordered the BH250 instead.

I know when the quit making the RS2X12, they blew them at at less than 1/2 price. Might just be their business model.

This might work as a suitable replacement for my "Thomann screwed me" Warwick Gnome purchase from a year ago. However, I'm really eyeing the Trace Elliot Elf more so than this one...but for that price....hmmmm....

If it were just a few products, I'd understand that...

But this goes across product genres, and across multiple brands, including:

1) Almost literally everything by TC Electronic, including bass amps, bass cabs, effects pedals... pretty much everything.

2) Almost all Bugera products, including guitar amps, bass amps, and accessories

3) A majority of Behringer products, including bass amps, pro audio equipment, power amps, etc.

This is WAY more than just a lineup refresh...

So I should buy 2 of them before they are gone!

I've been happy with my BAM. Bought it as demo for a cheap backup but am using it as my go-to for smaller gigs. Highly recommended at that price.

Concerning the price drops, I can't figure out what's going on. Even Fender is substantially dropping prices on lots of items, like the Rumble cabs, etc. It's a real head-scratcher when Fender drops prices, especially this significantly.

 

[Cave Puppy]

Insanity. It's not like I need another amp, but, at this price, why not? Just ordered one. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Joe Nerve]

I have a BH250 that I use as a backup. Its saved my butt 3X already, and sounds awesome.

This head will fit anywhere... glove compartment... knapsack, probably even in a gig bag. To NOT buy it at THIS price if one doesn't have a backup is insanity as far as I'm concerned.

I want one even though I don't need one.

 

[p12bassnut]

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered one too.

 

[Stingray5]

Just pulled the trigger, this is perfect for practice and as a backup. Can't go wrong at this price. thanks for the heads up!

Sweet! I've been looking for a cheap bass amp to pair with a cab I want to use in my studio, a Mitchell 'Sand' Small Thiele 1x12 with a Black Widow speaker.
