Some interesting reflections from the late great
-
The 500w head does look interesting. Historically I haven't had the best experience with Laney. That's because I moved from a Trace Elliot combo to a similarly spec'd Laney one and, well, you know, Trace Watts and all that. But that's a singular situation and many years ago - I don't use it to measure the entire brand.
-
begs the question I never asked... what's the first?
-
Yep. People often overlook this. I know I did. I'd all but written a bass off until I removed my 'favourite' strings and tried a random set. Not all basses like the same bits of wire.

Going to gigs. What do you love or hate about it?

I really dislike big venues. Went to Cardiff to see a band once and had no sense of interaction with them. A cattle shed near Exeter was similarly unpleasant. I am happiest if, when I employ my sparkling wit, and yell at the stage, the audience and the band can all hear what I have to say. -
Cheers! -
Says in the description 250 collected. It'll be gone too soon for me

interesting

I am saved by having already bought this month's bass, and DV247 are out of stock of the gold one.

Anyone ever have this?

Hey there's an Orange head in the for sale section. Not a terror but 500w, simple controls, rack mounted and 200 quid cheaper than a new terror. EDIT :There's a 500w Terror just down the road from you!

If you're one of those anti-shapers you've no right to be using Ashdown anyway. (joking) I usually dampen my positive reviews with 'in my opinion'. However I don't feel the need with this little beauty. I feel the reduction ftom 1000 to 500w will actually be beneficial, I could never drive mine hard enough..

I used to play through the Orange Terror 1000w. Possibly the best sound I have ever had, why I sold it, I cannot explain. Through BF compacts or two MB NY115's the only issue I ever had was keeping the volume down low enough! Incredibly loud, very simple controls, you can't go wrong.

Bought a P Bass from John and the deal was super smooth. Lovely chap, generous, honest and genuine. I happily recommend him.

I'm after the Precision rather than the jazz - but thank you for thinking of me! -
I like the contrast with the black dots echoed by the black scratchplate. Very nice indeed. -
That's great thank you.

I have one in an ancient Aria which a tech bought and fitted for me and its better than the original. Also bought a Kent Armstrong P Bass pickup to upgrade a Fender. Stupidly I sold in the bass with it in. -
