Billy Apple Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 How about the Orange Bass Terror? It's the same pre as the AD200 IIRC. Or hang fire for a bit for the new digital Amps Matamp are developing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Tipping Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Def. Try the terror. It's the only reason I sold my ampeg ... That and the weight! Great sounding little things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Tipping Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 ... When I said ampeg I don't mean the one in my Sig! I meant my all valve 70's V4b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Bugera 1960 is a Marshall master volume clone, will do a driven valve thing pretty well, including the important power section bit you won't get with the hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] isn't that bugera a guitar amp? if so how would it perform with a bass? I'm interested as its not mega money too also the terror looks pretty cool but not sure it'll satisfy me fully as its still solid state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Have you thought about the tech 21 Oxford and a power amp type arrangement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandoom Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 actually don't need to know more about anything to do with buger ah just had a read on em. could go with a pre/power amp set up if the pre amps went pretty much the price pf an amp alone should probably add I play in a loud doom band and am tuned down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of keen to have a go with one (two) but I'd probably swap out the valves since it is a modern amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Older British valve heads from the less fashionable makers can be good value, especially the PA versions, though prices are creeping up. There's also the risk of expensive work being needed if you're not the DIY sort. Most of them will be 100 watts (with a few exceptions), which works well for me, but is a bit less power than the Orange. Fine if you've got plenty of cab though...
