TC Electronic BG250-115 Bass Combo

This second hand bass guitar amp is in great condition

The BG250-115 is a 250 W bass combo amplifier with a single 15-inch speaker. It belongs to TC’s BG / BG250 series of compact bass combos. Some of its notable features include:

• TonePrint compatibility (i.e. ability to load custom effects/patches) 

• Onboard EQ / tone shaping

• DI output (for direct connection to PA or recording)

• Auxiliary input and headphone output (common in its class) 

• Reasonably light and portable for a 1×15 combo 

These features make it targeted at gigging bassists who want something that is more capable than a mere practice amp but still manageable in size and weight.

Strengths 

Lightweight / manageable size    Compared to many 15″ combos, the BG250-115 is often described as quite portable and easy to carry. 
TalkBass

Good power & headroom for small/medium gigs    Several users report it is “loud enough for small clubs” or rehearsal spaces. 

Tone shaping & flexibility    The EQ and tone controls allow decent sculpting. Users also like the TonePrint system (loading different effects/patches) as an add-on creative tool. 
Equipboard

Value for money    Many users feel it gives a lot of features and usable tone for the price, especially as a combo (speaker + amp in one) with DI, effects, etc. 

Good low-end / punch    For many users, the 15" speaker gives satisfying lows and rumble, which is a big plus over smaller combos.

In Use / Real-World Performance

From what users report in rehearsal, small clubs, and home use:

• In rehearsal / small gig settings: The BG250-115 is often more than adequate. You can get solid clean tones, and with some EQ adjustments, the bass and mids cut through well in a band mix.

• Effect switching live: Because of the limitation to one effect / patch at a time and the necessity to use USB / phone to change, many users end up sticking to one patch or using external pedals for more complex switching.

• For home / practice use: It shines here. Many owners say at low to moderate volumes it sounds quite good, gives you tone shaping, and is easy to manage.

• Direct / DI output usefulness: Having the DI for direct feed to a mixer or recording interface is a big bonus. The tone / EQ is useful. 

The TC Electronic BG250-115 combo is a compelling option in the under-£/mid-price bass amp world. It offers a strong feature set (TonePrint, DI, onboard EQ) in a portable combo format, with good tone and usable volume for many real-world situations.
