I'd love to get my hands on a Mk1 Cruise bass. Cool cool bass... black would be a bonus. Unfortunately they are like rocking horse do do.

Very sad. R.I.P.

Wow. That has some real bite. Could be tempted.

I think the real is... I should of bought the 300w version. Thanks for the replies.

Cheers Bill.

Thank you. That is all I wanted know.

Thanks for the replies. The gain structure is very different to an Ashdown, I've had CTM100, ABM600 and a Retroglide through this cab and the volume was roughly at 11 or above using those. The pad is already on. I could use my pre amp to lower the signal to the head but that's not what I'm asking. Using the same head set at the same volume but with a smaller cab.. 2x10 or 1x15 will I be noticeably quieter? As brilliant as the cab is, I'm not precious about the Four10, It'll be up for sale tomorrow if the answer to the above is yes. ...and no I don't play in a library, although we have played at The Library in Leeds. Cheers

I am currently running a Barefaced Four10 8ohm with an Orange 4 Stroke 500. The cab was originally purchased to go with an Ashdown CTM100 and that set up was great. That head has now long gone and the cab is now getting pushed by the Orange... it's too loud! The head has a notched volume but the power is pretty instant, the first click is loud, second click is very loud... and on and on. It's easily the loudest set up I've ever had. My question is if I had a two10 or a 1x15 at 8ohm would the volume be quieter at 1 click than with the Four10? I'm guessing it would be as less air will be moving. What do you think? Cheers

I wouldn't dare crank my 4 Stroke... fnar fnar. It's stupidly loud through my Four10, I'm thinking of selling the cab to get something with less... well just less.

I'd be more more worried about the person that has never heard of The Cult...

No. They sound like an Ashdown. It's a very nice amp but it wasnt for me. I sent mine back.

Nickel makes my fingers itch and tingle after a couple of minutes play. Stainless all the way, never an issue.

A mix of great bass lines and fantastic background noise. I really like his simple take. Distortion, chorus, flanger... what more does a bass player need.

The Cure... Love the first bunch of albums. Later stuff not so much. Simon Gallup is a very under rated bass player. His Schecter Ultra bass is cool as...

Brilliant. Just saved 20% Thank you

First practice last night. Set the eq up as Orange suggests on it's website for Rock/Punk, turned the compressor up to 12 o'clock, plugged all my pedals in and turned it up to what would roughly 2. This is by far the loudest amp I have ever owned, it's mental. I should of bought the 300 watt (never going happen lol). I didn't get chance to fiddle with the eq and didn't need to tweak any of the controls on my bass... now that is a real first. Bite, punch, clarity... It just works, to the point where I wasn't thinking about my sound. Last amp that did that was my Trace Elliot 1225v back in the early nineties. If you get the chance try one. I'm very impressed.

siouxsie and the banshees. I'm currently devouring the back catalogue.

I've just bought a 500. It has a certain bite to it's sound that appeals. I've yet to use it with my band but first impressions are promising. It's also unbelievably loud.

Great sound, vids cool as well. I'll have to try and catch your live set... we move in the same circles.

My ABM600 is very loud through my Four10. I expect the HOD to be at least as brutal.

Wow. That looks brilliant.

The black one looks great... in fact, it looks exactly the same as my Yamaha BB734A. If the neck is 38mm, it may end up being my first ever Fender.
