I hope the new range have rude names too. Little Bastard, Medium M***erF***er and Massive C**t.

Would it be possible to add a switch to the higher powered versions to halve (or even quarter) the output like on the Orange Tiny Terror? That way you get the best of both worlds, an amp that can handle small gigs but also give low volume valve drive for recording or practice.

Dear Mr Ashdown, Please bring out a 100W Medium-Sized Bastard.

Reason - flats on one bass, rounds on the other!

Eating KFC works too.

Give me the Precision's simple less-is-more approach any day over a 3k bass that looks like Bootsy's spaceship...

Aren't Rics slightly under 34" anyway?

The new Dunlop strings are very good and much cheaper than DR.

What, like these?

Unless it's a tube amp or an Orange Terror, which will put out the full 500w into an 8 ohm cab. Just start with the volume low and increase it gradually - you'll hear when the cab is approaching it's limit. Just watch out if you have any distortion or filter pedals that could push it over the edge!

How does it sound with the RS212? I would have thought the Terror with one of those would be plenty loud enough and pretty easy to carry?

100W is the sweet spot for me for an all valve amp, where you can easily driver the thing but still be able to play medium size venues. I look forward to the Little Bastard's big brother making an appearance!

Every day? :brow:

The FX loop will be pre-power amp so won't sound as tasty as the DI which is tapped off of the output transformer after the power tubes work their magic.

It says in your signature that you have a Bass Pod XT Pro - doesn't that have a headphone output? If you just want a simple headphone amp with pure sound there is the sfx H1 and EA Earwig, or the Vox Amplug if you want a more amp-like sound, or the Tascam Bass Trainer if you want to play along to tracks and slow them down or loop them.

So what options are there for a dummy load? A 4-ohm lightbulb?!

That LMII looks like it will fall over when you turn the volume up!

For a power amp, I would get a Peavey IPR 1600 (tiny size, £350) or a used Markbass LMII (£350 used, has an XLR input, has a fairly flat response and makes a great standalone backup amp).

One thing is though - the tube amp will still have to be hooked up to another cab or dummy load.

It kills on guitar, but not so hot on bass IMHO. Sounds good when you set it up for a really scooped tone, which works for Om but not if you have to compete with distorted guitars! That said, I would love to try one again through a dirty tube amp...

Looks like a goer. I didn't think of this, definitely interested in one now!
