[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1389092635' post='2329704'] very sad i feel for you really i do lol andy [/quote] your sympathy is appreciated matey, I feel that admitting the problem is often the first step to recovery

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1389092362' post='2329697'] to be honest going from a the lm3 id expect the orange to sound a bit less tight in the bottom end, but gd idea in trying your bass through the rig although that could mean you end up wanting the new p bass aswell lol [/quote] it is indeed a sad, sad situation matey! the p-bass in the shop was a good one as far as fender go too, I'm rather expecting to be bringing it home

Well I borrowed an AD200b from a local guitar shop for our band practice last night and feckadoodle is it heavy! Looks damn good but oo it's a weighty chuffer! The sound through my EAD Foundation 212 was big and fruity, filling the room easily with gain at 12 o'clock and master on 2 (8 o'clock ish) but from where I was standing (to the side of the cab and not in front so less than ideal) it was awfully woolly too and lacked definition on any individual notes I was playing. our drummer said it sounded really good and noticeably different from the markbass LMIII head I usually use and he was in a better listening position tbh, we also recorded the practice with a condensor mic on a stick (we did this the week before and the live sound was pretty good and had good bass content as it's a decent mic) so will leave final judgement until I've heard the songs back. Last week's recording with LMIII through EAD 212 and using my Cabronita P the sound was a bit 'honky' in the mids for what I'm after (a bit too aggressive and humbuckery) and I blamed the s/s amp, I suspect now it was the bass (fidelitron pickup in it) and will be toddling along to my dealer (local music shop) for another fix on Saturday where I'll try the USA p bass I originally tried the orange with in the shop and compare it to my cabronita...I may yet do the amp change but I suspect that the first port of call is the wood&wires and get that right...

Diago pedal power £60 ish and never let me down

once it's sold it gets locked, it being locked is evidence of it's soldness so I wouldn't worry about it matey, if a thread does need unlocking you can pm a mod explaning what you're after and include a link to the thread and they'll sort it for you

Just completed a little postal trade with Mike, all perfectly easy to arrange and execute, everything arrived as described, spot on! Thanks matey!

Woohoo 10 weeks to go!

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1388819307' post='2326389'] If you make the blank for me Andy, I will cut it and fit it ! Deal ? [/quote] um, not a clue how to do that matey, was just throwing ideas out, I'm sure I saw one once...can't remember where

union jack in black/beige/white?

They could be built into a single housing as part of a custom build though which would look fine?

the pickguard colour needs to incorporate the binding colour somehow...to visually tie it all together...black, white & ivory/beige?

so does that mean that all the CTM range are valve power only with ss pre or is it just the baby one?

Welcome! Nice rig matey, don't mention the 'R' word or the war and you'll do fine

Cliff gave my hyperdrive a new home, very easy and stress free deal, really easy to arrange, payment was precisely on time, another pain free bc deal. Cheers matey

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1388663372' post='2324439'] I've heard many people praise the OBC115's sound. I have also heard people comment on its possible negatives, but these are technical negatives (which no doubt most cabs have). I have owned this cab for a fair few years now, and I still really enjoy the tone I get from it. It is exactly as you noted above. It's a warm, focused tone, with plenty of actual 'bass' but not overbearing. It is also quite musical and does have a suprising amount of detail in the top end. [/quote] Thanks matey, I reckon it's the one I need to go for then.

[quote name='bassmayhem' timestamp='1388605273' post='2323980'] I got a friend who is selling his orange coloured TKS 215 cab (out of production) due to the size and effectivity. He complains: "It is impossible to get the amp to break up at volumes you survive using that cab..." The TKS stuff is very efficient and the ratings on the web page are honest. My 2126 cabs are not that efficient, which is stated in the web page, but they go way deep. They are more like studio monitors. In the present range of speakers I'd say the best matches to an Orange valve amp would be either the W212 or W2126 cab. Check the web page: www.tks.se You can get it in "Orange orange" and with the grille of choice... [/quote] cheers for that matey, the specs on that cab are basically very similar to my EAD Foundation 212 which suggests it will pair pretty well with that in the first instance (and which I'll be trying on Monday evening), what I was after was more of a vintagey sound (like that given when using it with a 1x15 like the orange OBC115)?
