This is amazing. I love builds like this. Well thought out and the attention to detail in the parts and construction is top notch. Well done!

Oh and it's weird as it's blue with maple. I think as far as I can see that Fender only did that combo in 2006 as blue only comes with rosewood now.

Kept it quiet but I got it. I also have the passive version in red gold. The guy didn't describe the condition as best he could but it seems to be what he was selling. Here's a quick pick as it arrived at work and I'm still here.

Also the truss rod adjustment is at the headstock end with a vintage style logo. Those 2 don't normally go together like that.

They're awesome. Tried it with my OBC115, still can't get enough top end. Ah well, looks like I may change my rig and keep the Orange as a backup, but hell the VT rocks!!!

Well I got the VT Bass yesterday which worked out nicely as I had rehearsal last night. Didn't get to use my cab at it though I did use my head, but there's a huge difference with the VT. I got the tone I was after, well pretty much and I'm just so happy with it. I did a little test with my cab at home and it sounds good too. Hopefully get more into it when we record this weekend. Thanks again for all the help and advice.

Just had a look at Rooz site, looks like an awesome place to jam. Really goos setup. Since you've used both the AD200B and Terror bass, how do you find they differ? From online demos the AD200B sounds like it has more high end. I'll check out that link. Sorry I didn't before but I was only looking for advice on the 1x15 and 4x10 combo and got my answer from you. Should be a good read. I've seen a few cheaper 4x10's but I would like the OBC410, then again if I can get something just as good cheaper then it makes sense not to just pay for the name. Will still need to see how the pedal does with the bass terror when it arrives. I'll checkout Barefaced cabs, saw a few posts on here about them and from what I gather they're loud.

Thanks Dannybuoy. I'm eagerly awaiting the pedal arriving. You mentioned before about swapping my 1x15 for a 4x10. I have the means to get a 4x10 but can't get rid of the 1x15. I don't need to use both so would it be worth getting the OBC410 or is there a 4x10 you recommend? Just I've been reading into it a lot and people mention efficient cabs, what exactly is that and how would a tell what is and what isn't efficient? I couldn't find anywhere where it describes this.

Lozz196, did you try the VT with the Orange Terror or did you get that after you'd switched?

Ok, looks like I now own a VT pedal at a great price [size=4] [/size]

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. [size=4] [/size]

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'd always thought about the 1x15 filling the bottom end and the 4x10 doing the top, but the way you put it makes more sense. The VT pedal, is this the one you mean? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tech-21-Sans-Amp-Character-VT-Bass-Effects-Pedal-NEW-/310914325477?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4863f01be5 I did try the EQ settings you suggested but couldn't get what I needed.

Hi Bikenbass Love the Sig Ok so from what you're saying you tried both 1x15 and 4x10's with the Terror with the same results. Then you had a different bass go through it and got the results you wanted. So in theory it could be the basses I have not generating the top end? My P-bass has a P-J config and even on the J pickup I still don't get enough top. I had a USA Fender Jazz and that still didn't cut through enough. Let me know how you get on with the Behringer. Would be interesting to hear. Anyone any idea if the Terror can be modified to produce more top? As in replace pots, cab etc...

I tried playing around with the settings and can't get enough top end. Would an EQ pedal solve this or are the frequencies not there? Dannybouy, any reason you say not to use 4x10 and 1x15's together? I used to use an Ashdown ABM rig like this and loved it. Just wondered if the Orange cabs handle the pairing differently? Lastly has anyone tried the AD200B? I know it shares the preamp with the Terror bass so I assume it has the same failing in the EQ department as the Terror bass does? Should I try a different head? Perhaps try the Ashdown ABMs again?

Cool. I'll give that a try. I'm gonna try the mod for the preamp tubes to reduce gain, not that I ever really had the gain up high. Ok so next time I'll reduce the bass, I tend to have the treble up high anyway but cut the mids, so I'll also try boost that a bit. So an EQ pedal would be a good addition you think? I'll check out the Sansamp thing and see what it's like. Cheers.

Hi guys. I've been playing a couple of times at gigs lately. I noticed something the last time I played. Like the title says I have an Orange 500 watt Bass Terror and an Orange OBC115. The Bass I was using is a 2007 Ric 4003. When I did the sound check I stood out front and noticed no projection from the bass, it was like it was lost in the mix or it has disappeared. While standing on stage it was monsterous but very bassy, like I couldn't get much treble out of it. Also if I sustained a low note I started to get a really horrible bassy vibration, like it was resonating badly. It was only a vocal PA so I wasn't in the desk it was just that setup. I obviously want to project and sound good. I like a kind of tome that has a bit of dirt, grind with a thick bottom end and a nice ping on the top end. Am I using the right setup? I know there's talk about changing the Pre amp valves on the Orange and that the EQ really doesn't affect much at all. Should I add another 115 or get a 210/410? I don't use any pedals and the cab was on the floor, the stage was the same height as the dance floor. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Cool, so I'm not the only one that's seen it. I also had the 60th anniversary P-Bass and that didn't have rolled edges either. From what I know They started it in 98 and in 08 they started publicising it. just wonder why some have it and others don't.

Hi all. Need some clarification. So I see in the last few years Fender have tried using rolled edges on the finger board as a selling point. I really like this feature. I recently bought a 2004 USA Jazz Bass from Stingraybassman. It has rolled edges on the fretboard. My 2009 USA Strat also does. However I bought a 2008 USA P-Bass which doesn't have rolled edges. Like wise I went into a local store and tried a 2010 USA Jazz Bass which again doesn't have rolled edges. I Checked Fender's site and they're saying the basses have rolled edges. Did Fender remove this feature for a while? If so what years from and to? I just find it weird they'd keep it on the guitars and remove it from the basses. Is it perhaps more prominent on maple than rose wood? The Jazz I have is maple, the P-bass is rosewood and so is the strat and the Jazz I tried in the store was rosewood. I have checked the forums but people mostly ask from when this started not if it stopped for a while. Thanks for any help.

Hi guys. I have an idea that I need some help with. Not sure if this is possible so any advice would be great. Here goes. I have an early 2000's Fender Precision bass special (p/j pickup combo). It's the passive model with 3 controls (2 vol, 1 tone). I'd like to change the pickups and setup of the controls. I like the idea of having both a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Jazz in the bridge and matching Quarter Pound Precision in the neck. I'd like a stacked tone pot where the single tone is now, this way I can control the tone on both pickups independently. The I'd like a Volume blend with a centre indent like you have on the current active Precision bass special, then I could blend any combo of both pickups on the one knob with ease, the centre indent would give me a guide. Lastly a volume control that controls the overall volume from 0-10, so when the blend is set I can fade it in from silent but here's the kicker. I'd like the volume to be an S-1 switch for series/parallel like I have on my 2004 usa jazz bass. The 2 things I'm unsure of are: 1. Can you do series parallel with those pickups and the wires they have on them? if not then which pickups are recommended for it? 2. I know the P-bass pickup is split and there's a jazz bass there too. Is it even possible to do series/parallel with a P/J combo and would it be as good a result as with the Jazz bass I have? If not then what is it going to sound like? Thanks in advance for any help. G.

Such a nice guy. Olly sent me the Fender Jazz bass quickly, it arrived safe and he gave info all the way through. The bass was better than described, he even found the tags and original bridge and sent them to me too. Totally over the moon with the bass. Top bloke! Thanks Olly! Grant.
