We investigate how adding a scalar resonance of a mass 125 GeV affects the low-energy data support for the top-BESS model as well as its low-energy free parameter limits. The top-BESS model is an effective Lagrangian, a modification of the well-known BESS model, with an ambition to describe phenomenology of the lowest bound states of strongly-interacting theories beyond the Standard model. In particular, the SU(2)_{L+R} vector resonance triplet of hypothetical bound states is a centerpiece of BESS-like effective models. The top-BESS model assumes that the triplet couples directly to the third quark generation only. This assumption reflects a possible special standing of the third quark generation, and the top quark in particular, in physics of electroweak symmetry breaking. Our findings suggest that the 125 GeV scalar extension of the top-BESS model results in a higher statistical support for the model. The best-fit values of the model's free parameters are consistent with the top quark having a higher degree of compositeness than the bottom quark.
