    This thread reads to me like another perfect example of "you pay your money and you take your choice". For a pub gigging amp the noise floor is probably irrelevant; if you want a high quality studio amp then you likely already know £300 won't buy that.
  2. Sparky Mark
    It's very possible the current availability of this amplifier, along with many other products, is due to the shortage of components caused by the covid 19 pandemic, many of which are now on much longer lead times.

    sno_t186.pdf This is the official TC Electronic service note that describes the reason why many of the early BG250 combos flashed and emitted smoke and how to fix/upgrade those units.

    I wonder whether the driver in the first post of this thread pre-dates Music Group/Tribe's involvement with TC Electronic? If so, it's less likely to be a Turbosound driver.
  6. Sparky Mark
    Yes, in April 2015, Music Group acquired TC Group. In December 2017, Music Group rebranded to Music Tribe.
  7. Sparky Mark
    Your impression is correct.

    For information these are the drivers in my BG250 210 combo.

    Cheers Len, will do.

    Both. I'm not fussy and enjoy live music of all types; rock, jazz, folk, originals, covers, old gits bands, beginners etc, etc. As for playing I enjoy open jams and would also be hoping to play covers in bars/pubs. I just want to keep playing, nothing too intense or serious.

    Yes Mick. I posed a similar question a while back about the best towns in England for music scenes. I'd like to retire somewhere I can continue to play as a happy amateur. Coincidentally I bumped into an old acquaintance last night who now lives in Nottingham and says it's brilliant for music.
  13. Sparky Mark
    Is Nottingham a good place for live music venues?
  14. Sparky Mark
    Location?

    A few weeks back I decided to gig with just one NY121P cab and LM3. I was amazed at how good it sounded in a medium sized pub playing moderately loud rock covers. LM3 filters off, all EQ at noon just works most times for me. Didn't you find the TRV102P sounded as great with your LM3?

    I wonder whether the long sustain and note clarity of NT Thumbs is the result of the vibration energy remaining in the strings rather than being dissipated by the bass body resonating? My experience has been that my lighter weight basses seem to resonate louder acoustically than those made from denser hardwoods.

    Is that Postman Pat and Roxette you're playing type bump.

    Oops! It's not my amp but 50 valve watts is no different to 50 solid state watts. 50 watts is not enough power to compete with two guitars and drums in a rock band. You'll see a lot of posts where 100 valve watts still doesn't cut it in a rock setting.
  19. Sparky Mark
    50 watts. No it won't.

    Do you still have the bridge fine tuning screws please? Cheers.

    Jack Bruce was only 5'6" and he played a Thumb for many years. Looks like he also angled the neck upwards to help reach.
  24. Sparky Mark
    This is a lovely example.
  25. Sparky Mark
    For me the characteristic Thumb growl, sustain and bell like note clarity come from neck through construction of the dense bubinga and wenge hardwoods. Other versions look beautiful too but will differ tonally from that original wood combination.
