Waterboarder Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi all, I bought a new Orange Terror Bass head the other day. I played it through one of their SP212 cabs - sounded nice and I pretty much decided to get the cab at a later date. The thing is, it sounded [i]really[/i] bassy, maybe even a bit too much , but its difficult to equate playing in a shop booth to a live gig or practice. I also wondered if it may have just sounded that way relative to bass amps Ive played through before, none of which have been that great... I play in a surf band so do want a fat, warm deep sound to contrast with the twangy guitar but also play punk so started to think, hmm... a bit of treble to cut through two loud, distorted SG's wouldn't go amiss actually. The SP212, bassy as hell, no horn, is it the best option? Or am I over-analyzing things due to the amounnt of dosh involved? Then I saw this; Bit cheaper, horn, and its black...

It would be cool to play through a 212 GK but havent seen them in stock anywhere, so just wondered if anyone else used them or any of the above combinations and had any thoughts? I like the portability of the Orange cabs, but the G+K isn't huge and only weighs 15kg. Decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
