torby Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ok then here's the deal, I want a new bass combo, funds are limited (around £250) I rather fancy one of the tc electronic range but unfortunately I don't live anywhere near a store that supplies them so it has to be mail order. In my price range I can go for the 15" speaker 12 " speaker 2x8" speakers although in my mind I think that's not the best option.... I want to play a bit of Muse, some Zeppelin, maybe some Rush, Police, basically rock & Blues , I only have to compete with a drummer and guitar player, so would anyone like to share their opinions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CletePurcel Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I recently looked into these. The main problem for me was that only the 2x8 has the option of adding another cab. And the 2x8 doesn't have a gain knob unlike the others and only has one slot for the effects. If the other models had an extension for another cab I would have seriously considered them. I was also informed more than once that the wattage on these is somewhat exaggerated so the extra cab was a must.

ColinB Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have the 2x8. It won't compete with a drummer and guitarist without an extra cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have the 115, but I've tried the 112 a few times and if I was buying again I'd go for the 112. The 115 is great, but it's a bit boomy when you push it, the 112 sounded a lot clearer to my ears, I haven't done a back to back test, so it could have been the venue, or maybe just my ears playing tricks on me.

bonzodog Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I don't think a combo that size will be loud enough for that genre and with a drummer. For 250 quid you should be able to pick up something a bit bigger second hand. May be something on the marketplace here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have the 2x10 model. It costs more (I think I paid £320) but it is a belter of an amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isteen Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I have the 15" model. I have used it for a few smaller gigs, and in practice with a band. Loud little thing - but I wouldn't use it with a loud rock band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
