I love the looks and sounds of all 3 of the gibson line (grabber, ripper and g-3), but this is madness. I'll keep my G-3 thanks.

Weber also do a 'mywatt' in 100, 200 and 400watt versions. Its a clone of the hiwatts, but not sure about prices. Think theyre meant to sound pretty rocking though

I had my eye on one of these on ebay a month or so back. I think they'd be great for practice and small gig type stuff. That ebay one hadn't been fired up for 15 years so the guy was selling it as is, plus it has its tolex (or whatever is on them) removed so was just a wooden chassis. That went for £160. Do you know if these are mark 2 or 3's?

In an ideal world I would go for the matamp easily. The cost of the thing is a lot though as you say. Fair enough Oranges aren't cheap, but second hand ones are more plentiful than second hand matamps. Also, that ampeg v4b in the for sale section is looking pretty sexy

I emailed about that gumtree ad, it sold a while back. Not to worry

Nath, it is both filthy and beautiful and the same time! We will defo have to have a session with it through the Sunn, haven't had the chance to rock it hard yet and I;ve almost had it a year! evillordjuju - I guess you're Jules off the gibsonbass site. Can't do clips sorry. It gets a nice round twangy (but not over trebley) sound with the back 2 pups on, and gives a nice solid chugging tone with all 3. Hard to describe really, I usually keep all 3 on. It's also very resonant. Maybe that has something to do with the finish or the age of it, but it's the 'loudest' unplugged bass I've had. Love it! Tim, the orange isn't bad at all. I use it just for messing around in the bedroom. I've got the 20watt version, tried the 35 in the shop and didnt think the larger speaker and line out were worth the extra cost. For bedroom work, the 20watter is spot on, and pretty loud actually. Picked mine up for about £80 new at promenade music in morecambe.

Off Topic: Tim, G3 pics up now... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40914&pid=405801&st=0&#entry405801"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry405801[/url]

I already posted this when I got it sometime last year, but here's a couple more pics because I am bored. Rock!

Tim, that g3 in my avatar isn't mine, but I'll sort some pics tonight maybe. Tee, thanks for that...bet it sounds awesome with the aguilar. Also, just found this... [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/94/33681594.html"]http://www.gumtree.com/london/94/33681594.html[/url]

Thanks for chiming in Basszilla. I'll be using a Gibson G3 and a green sovtek muff in front of it so should be sounding wonderful! Can I ask how much you paid? (PM me if you like, or don't if you don't want to say!). Also, who is Ed?

MMnn promenade is just down the road from me. I might check it out at the weekend and see if anything's in yet. I kinda doubt it though. They usually have some orange guitar gear in though

How much do these things go for second hand? I've seen one on here for £850 a month or two ago, but seem to remember one going for £550 ish last year on ebay. Maybe I dreamt that. First payment into the fund goes in at the end of the month!

Beautiful thanks Dave!

After gazing at Orange amps for many a year, I've decided to put my finances into action (albeit slowly) and save up for an orange ad200b. I'm still a young 'un at 23 so my back should be able to cope. Looking at between £100 and £200 a month so I'll be looking for a used one in 4-5 months time! Let the daydreaming end and let the major GASing begin! For all Orange owners...post pics or say something nice to me or something!

Bitchin'! Absolutely bitchin'!
