I have a 250-208, its a great amp and you can add an extension cab or two so very versatile. Great eq too. Toneprint and a tuner. Works great with pedals too. I have had trace, ashdown, line6, peavey, roland and fender amps. Both tube and solidstate and this seems to be the best sounding so far. I stack it with my 1x12 or my 1x15 cabs for extra fatness or on its own at home or jamming at friend's houses. Very lite too at 11kg. Mainly play rock, metal, punk but its just as at home with a bit of ska/reggae n dub. Basses are 62 re issue P and pawn shop mustang. I dont slap much though.
But when all is said n done there is no substitute to going and trying as many amps as you can, but the key is to take your own bass when you do.
