  1. Thank, sounds a good idea. I have feeling in my hand, but the nerves in it are not connecting or triggering to move my fingers etc. I do really hope in time it comes back. i feel so down about the situation. Music has always carried me through good and bad times, so for it to be taken away from me is so so painful.
  2. Just recently bought a Fender jmj mustang (amazing bass), the new orange bass terror and a pair of the new orange 112 cabs. The orange rig I haven’t even rehearsed with or gigged with and I’m so gutted. Why? 3 weeks ago I was rushed into hospital with suspected heart attack, however upon arrival and after several scans and blood tests it turned out to be sepsis from a large abscess on my spine that had perforated. 6 hours under the knife and nearly died on the table, however I survived and I should be thankful, but I have lost use of my left hand. I’m hoping that in time the use will come back, but no guarantees. i can’t say how sad this makes me after over 40 years of playing. My mind is all over the place. im unsure whether to hang onto my kit and pray that one day I can play, or to list my kit in for sale section to secure me financially while I cannot work and start again if I ever regain use of hand. any advice and support deeply appreciated.
  3. I’ve always played in originals bands, primarily punk or Electro Rock. Mainly either pick or finger style. A good friend of mine who writes and produces ska music has written two albums and has a lot of requests to play live, so he’s putting a live band together. He is insisting I play bass for him. Although I like ska music, I’ve never played it personally. So my first question is, what tips and references would you recommend so I can get into the groove in order to play. my current set up is the new orange terror bass head and 2 x obc 112’s and my main bass being a fender mustang jmj bass. Any recommendations on settings to get a good tone for the music style. thanks in advance for your advice
  4. I used to live in Kettering but now live in Bristol unfortunately or you would have been more than welcome to try
  5. Rock, blues, garage, surf, punk in fact most genres. I have a fender jmj mustang bass and I’ve gone from using precision’s to the mustang being my main bass. Absolutely love mine
  6. I absolutely love my Fender jmj mustang. Definitely worth trying one out if you get the opportunity 👍
  7. Reduction £390 collected that’s nearly 50% off new price.
  8. It is a fantastic amp, and if it weren’t for the fact that I upgraded and purchased another orange amp, I would keep it 😊
  9. I have an orange Crush 100 for my home noodling and practice and they are a fantastic combo. I have a different orange rig for live. I was contemplating selling it. I have wondered whether the crush would be man enough for small pub gigs etc, so it was nice to see your thread 😊
  10. I’m in same boat as the op. I keep scanning musicians wanted sites, I’ve advertised myself, I’ve even tried forming a band. I love punk I must admit. But I’ve had no luck whatsoever. I’m finding also there is a lot of ageism in the ads. im hopeful something will come up, but I’m not into blues bands or covers bands and it seems the market place I get most offers from. help!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Black weekend offer: price £400 collected or £400 plus carriage at cost.
  12. You won’t regret it. I can’t stop playing mine! 😊
  13. It is a great bass, and your right it’s hard to put it down and when I do put it down I keep looking at it lo sado yes 😊
  14. I haven’t played an original vintage one in many years, but what I can say if you compare this to the moder jp mustang it’s polar opposites. The JP is very modern sounding where this is a vintage sound with focus and depth. I prefer it to the Japanese mustang I owned, again it feels and sounds more vintage. If you get the chance try one out, I really recommend it. in terms of it being roadworn, it is done in such a way it looks natural, it looks genuine roadworn. The head stock look like it’s hit the cymbals and the wear looks like natural wear. The dings etc all look like decades of wear and tear and use. It’s a gone beast it is.
  15. I’ve got a fender pj bass and this bass is a totally different class to it. Such a great tone and quality. I have no regrets purchasing. I now have two road worn basses, a Mike Dirnt and now the JMJ Mustang 😊
  16. The gig bag is a short scale fender one, but not the basic one. The Fender site says the strings are 9050L, which would indicate long scale strings, however, on my bass the strings going into the post has green binding on, so I’m guessing they have changed the strings at point of manufacture. I would love to know myself what they use so I can get a spare set.
  17. Went into PMT Bristol to pick up the Orange Terror Bass Mk2 and while I was there did the fatal mistake of going to bass section. I could hear a bass being played that just oozed buttery warm yummy bass tone and went over to see the bass salesman noodling away on a Fender JMJ Mustang Bass, started chatting to him about it. So he let me have a play, the neck plays like butter, the output amazing from the Seymour Duncan mustang pick up, and fender flats as standard. it is an amazing bass. Needless to say I ended up leaving the shop with it. Oh well Christmas presents to family is way overrated anyway lol. Oooops I’m in trouble!
  18. For Sale is my fantastic Orange OB1-500 Bass amp in good condition. It comes with gig bag (pictured), power lead and orange foot switch. These amps are fantastic. Very reliable amp. These are class A/B solid state amps that won’t let you down unlike some Class D amps. Only selling because of upgrade. These sell for around £660 new so grab yourself a bargain. Collection from Bristol preferred, but will courier at additional cost. Here’s some info: The OB1-500 is a Bass head with a difference. For years bassists have been combining guitar and bass amps to remarkable effect, adding harmonics and layers of overdrive from a guitar amp to their core bass tone in pursuit of the ultimate live sound. The key to the OB1's unique sound is Orange's footswitchable Blend circuit which adds gain and increased harmonic content to the upper registers of the input signal. The lower frequencies and clean signal are left alone, staying warm and clear. Punch in the Blend control to achieve anything from a transparent clean boost, to all-out filthy grind. Sound Blend options With the OB1 you can split the input instrument signal into two separate paths. One side amplifies the clean signal, with all the clarity you would expect from Orange. The other adds up to two stages of distortion to the upper harmonics only, controllable via the amp's Gain knob. These two elements can be combined using the amplifier's Blend control which adjusts the mix between clean and dirty. The Blend control can then be remotely engaged or defeated using the optional footswitch. The Gain and Blend's range allows for almost anything, from a subtle level boost to cut through the mix, added girth and presence at moderate settings to fatten up chorus passages, to fully saturated savagery at the extremes. However you dial it, the OB1 always maintains the critical low end definition even at its' dirtiest. Active EQ The OB1’s highly responsive active three band EQ has been meticulously voiced for maximum effect with minimal fuss. The EQ section is located after the Gain and Blend dials take effect, allowing full control over their massive sonic range. The Bass and Middle controls feature +/-15dB of boost or cut, whilst there is a range of +/- 20dB on the Treble control. Rack Mountable The OB1 Series are rack mountable amps, suitable for 19" cases (2U). Enclosed in a rugged power coated steel chassis the fascia is finished in Orange's classic 'pics only' styling. Specifications Controls: active/passive switch, gain, blend, bass, middle, treble, volume, footswitch input, mains switch speaker outputs: (speakon), 1/4" line output, balanced output with ground lift switch speaker output options: minimum 4 ohms: 1 x 8 ohm, 2 x 8 ohm, 1 x 4 ohm output power: 500 watts, class a/b finish: white powder coated steel chassis (19 2u rack mountable) dimensions (w x h x d):48.2 × 26.5 x 10cm (18.97 x 10.43 x 3.93) unboxed weight: 10.1kg (22.26lb)
  19. Yes both obc112’s, I wanted one of each colour to coordinate with head. 😊👍
