[/quote] it's been changed to Thaite or something, a bit gutted nothing else to enertain my southern friends on their anual vist now.

[quote name='MananaMan' post='407203' date='Feb 12 2009, 01:01 AM']Hmmm... if it's anything like as good as the Git-arse Terror it'll sound great but break a lot... Our guitarist has a TT and it sounds the mutt's nuts, but he's on his third head in about 8 months... Apparently Orange had a lot of trouble with transformers on the first batch out of Korea - I'd say if you're interested in one of these, give 'em a year to get the components sorted before you buy! Having said that, everywhere we play the TT (through a Mesa 2x12) gets rave reviews from other 6-stringers and sound dudes alike, the thing is stoopid loud and sounds great. If they manage to pull off a similar trick with the bass version I'll definitely be looking into getting one. And having read the TB thread on these, I'm reminded of just why I had given up on finding a decent bass-related forum... Those guys are all hyper-judgemental in a way that I can never understand. IME, it must be an american / 16-year-old thing...[/quote] yeah there was a product recall in the european market fo rearly batch just before xmas.

[quote name='Hamster' post='405983' date='Feb 11 2009, 09:18 AM']I presume you've put an ad for what your want in the wanted section of the forum? - you never know what other bassists will tempt you with! [/quote] oh yes i'm coiled like a spring ready for action in that section.

[quote name='attackbass' post='405862' date='Feb 10 2009, 11:09 PM']Orange amps rock!!! All tho i'm biased in saying that as I endorse them, but seriously cool tube tone that's a little bit different to the Ampeg tube sound. Sounds absolutely fat with a fender precision. My rig - Orange AD200B 4X10 and 1x15 with a Lakland bob glaub or Fender jazz re-issue with quarter pounders Going to pick up a tiny terro bass for a backup when they go into production.[/quote] so you have contacts at orange then? tell them to get a shift on as i want to try the terror bass or they'll get a dry slap.

[quote name='fatgoogle' post='405830' date='Feb 10 2009, 10:36 PM']Youre not going to get a vlave head and cab for 600, you might be able to geet an amoeg v-4 for 600 but thats, it. You could get a hartke vx2x15 and a hartke lh500 for around that much. Its got a nice little tube in the preamp which is really nice.[/quote] not stictly cab and amp. i'll see what comes along first then get either a cab or head on Take It Away intrest free credit over 9 months. jobs a good un.

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='405510' date='Feb 10 2009, 04:57 PM']I would check out the Barefacedbass Vintage for a lightweight 2x15. But that's nearly all your clams gone right there...[/quote] don't tease me. clams could easliy get eaten up by one of them beasts. however the captain wouldn't like it.

where to start? where to finish? i think i'll just lie down till something comes along. i'll start again. I need to shift into gear and buy some semi decent wing wang this year. not had a decent set up for about 3 years. i'm going to spend about 600clams. Need a slightly light cab, 2x15 (light? yeh right) maybe, but last week it was a 2x12. and a nice head. if i can get a nice valve head then great however im may wait till the bass terror comes along. but i really will consider most set ups. Just about to get my bonus may aswell spend it before it's too late. chuck up some ideas for me.

[quote name='thumbo' post='405172' date='Feb 10 2009, 10:55 AM']Apparently the new Orange gear will be available around mid-June. That'll include the Bass Terror.[/quote] bum snoggers i was hoping to snag one before april.

i don't think you can beat orange amps. i dout i'll be able to afford one ever. however i will try out the terror bass when it comes out might be woth a shot for the price.

i'm a fan.

[quote name='Spoombung' post='403346' date='Feb 8 2009, 12:54 PM']Yeah, looks like I'll be there. I'll bring a load of CDs - all Free, of course! I look forward to meeting everyone and maybe having a look at a couple of basses.[/quote] i've just had to listen to your stuff. absolute excellent!

[quote name='saibuster' post='403061' date='Feb 7 2009, 09:31 PM']Hello guys, didnt write here for a while and its good to be back! My band went to Vodafone's unsigned bands competition today and we passed the first level. The second audition is going to be for the area's finals (before the national final event). We received some papers with information on what we need to prepare for the second event and apart from the music, it seems like the put a lot of emphasis on performance and [b][i]image[/i][/b]. Now here is the thing, we are playing hard rock, or melodic metal, what ever you want to call it, none of us is into indie or any of the more mainstream rock that is happening at the moment. This also means, we are not going to wear the current rocks uniform (black skinny jeans, insanely tight worn out t-shirt, big glam curly hair). This puts us in a problematic area, how can we deliver a contemporary image that fits our music without looking dated or skinny? If it was up to us, we would all wear a plain t-shirt and straight jeans, but its obvious that this would reduce our chance to win. I would love to hear the trusty forum members thoughts about it, also, are there any "style" or "image" agencies that could help us? we take this band very seriously and would invest money in image if needed. cheers![/quote] vodafone hey.....i think you should all splash out on some orange amps and maybe wear a devo style boiler suits but in orange.

well it's kind of bass but maybe off topice soi feel free to move mods (like you need my say so!) Has any BC'ers visted this guy? A family frind who restore vintage guitars told me about him about a year ago and i only just remembered. From what i remember he was in the middle of setting up a new showroom/whare house for all his gubbins. Looks to be some pretty intresting stuff there if you're into your vintage. www.twotribesmusic.co.uk/ - dosen't seem to have changed much since i first looked at it.

is anybody bringing gear they are trying to sell?

i've played/borrowed so many brands in my gig history but i've never played through a mesa rig.
