[quote name='dannybuoy' post='368626' date='Jan 2 2009, 05:10 PM']If you want a dirty rock tone like you get from the Orange, I would suggest Ashdown - get the Little Giant 1000. A 1000W portable amp for only £290 delivered. It's even orange, so you'll feel right at home! They are brand new, but a few reports on Talkbass I've read are all very positive. Keep the Orange 1x15 cab if you can handle the weight, it's a beauty! I'm tempted to get the LG1000 with an Orange OBC115 myself, they'd look so PUURRTY... [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=8585"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=8585[/url] [/quote] i nearly got one of these b4 i got my orange rig, thing is you dnt get the full 1000 unless you use two 4 ohm cabs, as it 500w a side, and you can't bridge it either.

right ive made a decision that if i try a bass base 600 and like it! the orange will be for sale! im gonna try and track down 2 8 ohm 210 cabs and sell my 115 orange cab. theres just one problem the bass base 600 has been apparently discontinued! so from here on i might have to look for one secondhand.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='366959' date='Dec 31 2008, 11:40 AM']Until a few days ago i was a very happy GK user. I personally like a good, dirty rock tone and the GK is the dogs in that respect as it has the valve emulator built in - The Fusion has the real valve dealy. It also has the motorised knobs so with the press of a footswitch you can change the EQ to something else which is ideal as you have different basses. Plus GKs are reliable as hell. I think there's a guy on Talkbs that got one of the first ones so there should be a review over there.[/quote] yeh he's posted in a thread i got going over there [quote name='Delberthot' post='366959' date='Dec 31 2008, 11:40 AM']I am now using a Genz Shuttle as the GK was too heavy (Probably still lighter than the 'Orange' logo on your amp). I bought it because it was light, small and sounded good based on the reviews I read. I'm very surprised to say that it can produce an even better rock tone than the GK.[/quote] to right! im intrigued by genz im probs gonna have to try, its got a tube pre yeh? [quote name='Delberthot' post='366959' date='Dec 31 2008, 11:40 AM']I also use a Schroeder cab; mine is the 1212L which comes in at 42lbs. That's nothing for a 2x12" cab that can produce a phenomenal amount of volume, so much so that i use it in my rock band without a PA.[/quote] this sounds good im considering getting a 212. thanks man

[quote name='craigjf1969' post='367014' date='Dec 31 2008, 12:55 PM']Hi all,looking at a new set up and need some feedback....saving up at the moment,as well as still needing to shift stuff,but been looking at HEADS-Little Mark 2 £499 or Ampeg B2RE £340(both from Absolute Music Solutions).......COMBO-Marshall MB4210 £274(from DV247.com)......or package deal from Dolphin Music of an Ampeg B2RE+15" cab for £586........anyone got the Marshall combo here,seems a bit cheap for what it is!!!....or any comments on the other equipment...cheers Craig [/quote] i know someone who plays that marshall, really nice tone actually he only had it for bout 6months but nothing gone wrong with it so far, he in a three piece and he more than loud enough, and if not he can add a 4 ohm cab. ive not heard good things bout the ampeg but thats just hearsay as i have never played one so i dnt know.

[quote name='ezbass' post='366885' date='Dec 31 2008, 10:15 AM']That's a 2x12. Yes I had 2 ABM 2x10s. I retro fitted them with Ashdown Superfly neos, but the Schro is still lighter and has a better "in the mix" and on stage sound. Not as pretty sounding soloed indoors as the ABMs, but that's not what it's for eh.[/quote] indeed, ive been looking at the 212 aggie 600w cab i get it in 8hm i think it be a nice cab. any views?

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='365550' date='Dec 29 2008, 04:10 PM']It's 2x12 or 2x10 or a combination of the two. Schroeders have a second speaker behind and angled upwards (where that big hole is) I recently changed from a full stack to a Little Mark II and a Schroeder 1212r and couldn't be happier. My band mates are eternally grateful as i can carry my amp and cab in one go![/quote] ill bet my bandmates moan at me cos of the weight of my head when we clearing up cos sometimes they have to move it, so glad i didnt get the marshall vba 400 now! cabs not really a big problem for me but i might change to a dif cab/s if needed?, but the head is so big fills up half my boot! i know with heads ive suggested i wnt be saving much but i will be saving on weight at the very least.

[quote name='BassBunny' post='364885' date='Dec 28 2008, 03:32 PM']Lean Audio sell them as well as The Bass Merchant and I understand from talking to Mike that GAK are taking some. If all else fails try e-mail to [email protected] or call Mike direct on 01376 502930[/quote] thanks buddy i throw them an email.

hi guys is there a site to go and check out the zoot neo bass cabs?, im looking into getting a couple of 210's for a new rig, but they dnt appear on the bass merchant site anymore?

[quote name='ezbass' post='364799' date='Dec 28 2008, 01:29 PM']I recently changed from an Ashdown ABM head with 2 2x10 cabs to the rig below and couldn't be happier. [/quote] is that a 15 in there? did you have the ashdown 210's?

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='364673' date='Dec 28 2008, 10:59 AM']I'd go super-lightweight to see any benefit. Mark Bass or similar and a couple of 2x10s otherwise you're going to be lugging about pretty much the same stuff as you are now![/quote] im looking into that as i did nearly buy an ashdown little giant 1000 b4 i bout this rig, im not talking an amazing dif in size just a more easy to handle amount. im thinking 210 cabs and the hughes but how similar is that setup to a 410? soundwise?

[quote name='tombboy' post='364667' date='Dec 28 2008, 10:53 AM']Both great choices there. I have a Markbass TA503. Really light, you have to keep it in a rack to stop it floating away. GREAT tonal variety and controllable range. LOADS of oomph!![/quote] wots the tone like ive never played markbass? im looking for a dirty rock tone.

[quote name='umph' post='364126' date='Dec 27 2008, 12:29 PM']don't get rid of the orange ;< tell your band to man up and get a van[/quote] i love my orange but it seriously heavy! and huge. but the tone is awesome! i think im down to the hughes and kettner, or the gk maybe

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='362951' date='Dec 24 2008, 04:45 PM']Can't comment on the value of your amp but you'd be amazed how often something which is 'valued' at £xxxx rarely achieves that when you try to sell it. [/quote] i am a little worried bout that to be honest i dnt see why i shouldnt get a grand for it? its like new! id love to prat ex one for one but it not gonna happen! [quote name='warwickhunt' post='362951' date='Dec 24 2008, 04:45 PM']I can say that the H&K is a cracking amp (IMHO), though I'm not sure that you are saving a huge amount on room/size once it's case but you should save on weight in comparison to a valve amp.[/quote] yeh im more conserned bout the weight, but also it will save me some space as im not sure if im gonna get the rack for i probs get a bag for it. but for the h n k im intrested in the to channel eq for different sounds, as i have to completely diff basses, plus with the stage board you can do it in the middle of songs to.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='362934' date='Dec 24 2008, 04:24 PM']I dont know enough about Orange as to why you amp is worth more than a new AD-200B but I'll take your word for it. Is it hard wired? Might be worth bearing in mind when you come to sell it.[/quote] yeh the ad140b is hand wired and they only made 17 of them of which mines number 17, im guessing this makes it that pricey?

hi, i currently have a orange half stack comprising of a 115 cab and ad140b head [url="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/0175westwood29/orange1.jpg"]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/01...d29/orange1.jpg[/url] i love the tone i get but the weight is a bit much as is the size as my band doesn't have a van or anything, so i have to get my stuff around in a ford fiesta! as you can imagine that rig and to basses, and my leads and pedals are a slight squeeze. so im trying to start downsizing my rig or thinking bout it, starting with the ad140b and im considering a few options for a replacement and am wondering what you guys think? hughes and kettner bass base 600 gk fusion 550 (not to sure on this one as im not a fan of the rb series) ive had my ad140b valued at 1600 pounds, and i found a site today saying that you can get between 2000-2600 usd for one in tiptop condition which mine is, so im hoping to be able to do either a part ex or sell it and with the money buy a new head with a bit left over. if you guys have any suggestions or have any views on the amps im looking into getting plz feel free to let me know. andy
