    Was looking for a particular bass for a little while. Paul sent me a message and within a few hours I'd bought it. Really easy to deal with and the bass arrive exactly when he said it would. Perfect guy to deal with a a pleasure to boot. Thanks again Paul, the bass will be well taken care of. G.

    [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1480608322' post='3185824'] Have you thought about contacting them directly? [email protected] may or may not get a reply, but for the sake of just sending an email, it's gotta be worth a try? [/quote] That did cross my mind. Might give it a go. Cheers.

    [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1480606176' post='3185794'] The different knob versions of the unit look exactly the same to me, apart from the knobs of course! [/quote] That's certainly what I'm hoping is the only difference. I had experience with a Visual sound pedal where it looked just like a knob change only but the internal trim pot for the noise reduction had been removed between the versions too, so was pre-set. So I'm only asking about the MXR in precaution to previous experience. Don't want to buy a used one then find out that the new one has improvements etc...

    Hi guys. Just wondering if there is a V2 of this pedal? I see they have changed the knobs recently and when I do a search of "MXR Bass DI V2" it does come up with result but nothing says if there is actually a revision to the pedal or any differences etc... Has anyone bought one recently and compared it to and older one? Does anyone know if there is a difference in the newer ones and if so what those are? Just considering buying one and it'll make an impact on buying used or new. Thanks.

    Hi there. This listing is for an Orange OB-1 500. Lovely bass head. I bought this on Tuesday but after trying it out it's just not me, it also goes from quiet to insanely loud and that was only at less than half volume. The head is fully working, warranty has not been registered. Proof of purchase can be obtained for the buyer. The head is boxed, with manual, power cables and I'll also include a speakon to jack cable (which doesn't come with a new unit). These heads are £625 new, this is as new, only 5 days old and fully working. Pictures below are of the actual item for sale that I took myself. Here's the spec from Orange: The Orange OB1 500 has been made to produce the tones normally associated with bi-amping a bass guitar through a bass amp and guitar amp. The OB1 gets its unique sound from a footswitchable Blend circuit which adds gain to the higher frequencies of the signal, which is split at the point of input. This gives a rich harmonic response as if bi-amped. This function is extremely versatile, the OB1-500 can go anywhere from glassy and clean to fuzzy overdrive. For the first time Orange are offering an amplifier in a rack mount format. The tough chassis will fit into 19" rackmount cases (2U), but is equally robust to withstand the rigours of gigging unmounted. A simple but versatile 3-band EQ makes the OB-1 versatile and easy to use. OB1 500 SPECIFICATIONS Front Panel Controls (Right to Left): Instrument input with active/passive switch, Gain, Blend, Bass, Middle, Treble, Volume, Footswitch input, Mains switch Rear Panel (Right to Left): Speaker outputs (speakon), 1/4"³ Line output, Balanced output with ground lift switch Speaker Output Options: Minimum 4 ohm: 1 x 8 ohm, 2 x 8 ohm, 1 x 4 ohm Output Power: 500 Watts, class A/B Unboxed Dimensions (W x H x D): 48.2 × 26.5 x 10cm (18.97 x 10.43 x 3.93"³) Unboxed Weight: 10.1Kg (22.26lb) Postage is £16.95 sent via courier. Email me with any questions, I'm never too busy to talk about my listings and am near a computer at most times, so I can respond pretty quickly.

Zillions of people have built up the Uncle Fluffy knockoff version via Talkbass BTW, it's a very simple and inexpensive little project. [/quote] That's awesome. Thank you so much.

    Quick question. What pots does the 2 band take?
  12. sirmuppet
    I have one of these in red with the rosewood board. An excellent bass. GLWS

    I decided to hold off for the moment on getting the 4x10 and have ordered an ob1 head to replace my orange terror head. Will get a chance soon hopefully to try the head and 15 along with a 410 and make my decision on the cab.

    Hey man. Can't answer all of them for you but I have a 2 band eq stingray and can tell you it's a boost. I think the actual official term is it starts at a slight cut and boosts from there. But it's. as I ally a boost unlike the 3 band which is cut and boost with centre indent. Only reason I know is I asked the exact same question a week ago, lol.

    Awesome man. Thanks.

    Hi All. I have a Stingray which I've been told needs a new preamp board. Where can I get a replacement from? I had a look online and could drum anything up. I'm not looking to replace it with something else, just a like for like. So looking for an original 2 band eq board for a 2009 Stingray. New or used is fine as long as it's working, so if you know where I can locate them then please let me know . Cheers for any help.

    Thanks for the reply guys. Have just been offered an OBC410 and I currently have the OBC15. Which is why I want to check. I feel adding another cab would help with projection in the mix, I hope any way. [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1478783970' post='3171609'] This is one of those cases where the drivers used is known, so you can make valid comparisons. The 115 uses the Eminence Kappa 115. It displaces 343cc. The 410 uses Beta 10s. They displace 102cc each, for a total of 408cc. The Kappa 15 does have a lower frequency range than the Beta 10, but when you go lower in frequency the displacement requirement for equal output increases. If the 115 was going to be a good match with the 410 it would need considerably more displacement, not less. A 115 along with a 210 would make far more sense. As to the Beta 10 and Kappa 15 specifically, both are low end drivers, frankly not worthy of being used in cabs in the price range of Orange. There are many cabs with better drivers that sell for less. Not that I doubt your experience, but it would be the exception to the rule, as the average 115 has less displacement and lower sensitivity than the average 410. The Orange example is hardly an isolated example. . [/quote] It was certainly more prominent in the mix by a fair bit. Going close up to the speakers it did seem louder. Maybe it was due to it being the bottom cab? Anyway you mention they are lower end speakers. What would you recommend? I do like the OBC115 a lot, just for a bit more top end I thought the OBC410 would be a good match.

    [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1478712403' post='3171140'] Have you thought about a Darkglass M900? That would allow you to get rid of the Sansamp and the Orange, and will probably take care of any distortion requirements. [/quote] I have actually. Only issue is I would never gig without a backup DI preamp. My current rig allows me to do that. So even though everything is in one package with the M900, if something went wrong with the head I'm left up a certain stinky creek without a paddle, lol. That would include power amp, preamp and overdrive all gone if one thing goes. So I'd still need a backup. I have to say though that the M900 sounds amazing. Just not for me. Unless... ...I get two M900's?

    Hi all. Anyone have any experience running both together? I'm aware of the issues that some say about running different drivers etc... but I'm curious as I've seen a few people run this combo and even Orange has recommended running the 1x15 and 4x10. I have in the past ran an Ashdown 4x10 and 1x15, this sounded good but obviously I had the issue of the 1x15 being louder. Thanks for any feedback on this.
  25. sirmuppet
    I guess it would. I mean a vocoder would do the same thing. There's something about playing a talk box though that gets the crowd going, lol. I'd prefer it but not essential. I found one talk box at 9v but they no longer make it.
