Orange Terror Bass Mark II £400 Nottingham

[petecarlton]

Hi all.

 

I'm selling my Terror Bass 500, latest version, as I have too many amps and I'm not gigging, so I need to make room for a small practice combo that's incoming.  I've used this one for a few rehearsals and jams, but it's probably left the house fewer than half a dozen times in all.

 

I think by now everyone knows what these do, and how well.  They're very loud and also look very cool, as does the gigbag.  They're also very adaptable, as you can use the gain to really drive the amp or you can switch to "clean" for a transparent, warm tone.  Either way, you’ve got that lovely valve-driven pre-amp, with an ECC83 (12AX7) and an ECC81 (12AT7) – in fact it’s the same pre-amp as you get on the flagship AD200 (but you can lift this one!).  In fact, while the weight may be a little more than an all-transistor head at 4.65 Kg (10.25lb), it’s no big deal and just feels “right” - nice and solid. 

 

I bought it new from the no-longer-with-us GAK for £549 in November 2023, so I think the price is fair, given age and excellent condition, as you can see from the photos.

 

It comes with the very lovely gigbag and a kettle power lead, but I’ll throw in a Speakon cable if it goes at or very near the full price.  I'm happy to include the cost of postage to the UK, but I'll knock £15 off if you prefer to collect (from Mapperley, in Nottingham).  You can play through it, and tea and coffee are on tap.   Otherwise, I’m up for a meet-up within an hour’s drive from Nottingham.

 

Not looking for trades, I’m afraid.  I need the cash, and I’ve got all the gear I need for the moment (though with my GAS, I’ll probably change my mind tomorrow!)
