Hey Guys. Just to say I got my Orange Crush 50 to replace my First version of an Ampeg BA-112. The Ampeg (50 watt) developed that common problem of crackling which nobody (incl Ampeg who are not interested) seems able to fix. The Orange is not in the same ballpark as the Ampeg ( when it was working). The Ampeg is way louder and is obviously a bass amp - it has that depth which the Orange does not. I have used the Ampeg to gig at small venues but mainly for practice. The Orange could be used for guitar and will do for a bass practice amp but it is not a serious bass amp. I use a USA P bass and Marcus Miller Jazz bass through mine. It's ok for learning tho.

I would like a pedal which would make a fretless bass sound like a double bass. Am I the only person to raise this or have I missed it? I am guessing asking for a pedal to do this on a fretted bass is impossible. Something to add a little adjustable chorus That takes you a long way there and you don't need much Am guessing it would need some light reverb to simulate the resonance of an acoustic instrument Maybe some adjustable and refined compression rather than have to use a mute. Maybe a bass boost to enhance or reduce that special acoustic sound from flat strings on a double bass. I do and would still use D 'Addario flat-wounds so this would be for fine tuning. We have been looking for such a thing for years so I throw down the challenge to pedal makers. Instead of flangers, envelope filters and complex reverb, take on something really useful purposeful and challenging instead of making bass versions of guitar effects - I dare ya! Love Pete
