So glad you like it mate 😎

Have pulled the trigger on a PF50T, hopefully its all I need ... for now

Superb price and service. I don’t think it would have cost me that here in Edinburgh, probably more in the £100s. I’m very pleased to say the very least 😎🤘

My TB500 came home yesterday. Required lots of repairs, email from Mikko: Hi. Just to let you know your Terror Bass 500 has been repaired and is ready to be sent back to you as soon as we've received payment. There were a few things wrong with your amplifier. The front of the amplifier had suffered some damage, the control panel was slightly bent and 3 control pots were snapped from the circuit board. They were still making slight contact so the controls were still sort of functional but that's where all that crackling was coming from. There was also a filter capacitor in the power supply circuit that had snapped off the board and it was making all sorts of crazy pops when turning the amp to standby or off. I've sorted all of this out, calibrated the clock frequencies and cleaned the pots and contacts. The total cost of the repair including labour, parts, shipping + VAT amounts to £47.40. You can pay this via debit/credit card or PayPal by calling our sales team on 0208 905 2828. Have to say, what a fab experience with Orange 👍

Aye and I definitely fit into the old slappers category

is it as loud as the LB30 not the CTM30.

Great stuff thinking I may be tempted too. A.

The Mex headstocks are perfectly formed, it’s just something I prefer. 👍

There is a around 2-3mm in it, enough to notice. The American standard P is around the £1400 mark but appears to depreciate more than the Mex derivatives. 🤭

It is crazy when you consider the US P price is lower. I loved my classic 50s, it got sold to pay for a car repair. The RW was stunning! But I’m really picky about the thickness of the headstock and the MIMs are to thin for my liking.

Cheers for the replies folks 👍 I’ve owned a Mex standard, classic and RW, all excellent in their own right especially the RW 😎 my gripe with the Mex Ps is the thickness of the headstock against the US P. If that was rectified, there would be little to no difference. I also know I’m being petty, picky and snobby! Lol 😂

Recently bought another US Precision - a keeper this time - but when researching, I noticed that sellers on forums and eBay/gumtree are looking to get more for Mexican RW and 50's classics than the US Ps are selling for. What am I missing? I paid £750 for my 2013 US P however, some are looking for £800+ for the above two Mexican derivatives. Andy

Pedant misery guts! lol ;D stop ruining the fun!!

Bought an Ashdown 115 cab from Mike, absolutely perfect transaction. Ace communication, Cab in A1 condition, perfect postage and all round good guy to deal with. Very happy Andy

Top advice from the dudes above

@ £510 just a little over, my Hartke LH1000 and AK410 cab were awesome 😎 should never have gotten rid. 🤦‍♂️

Who knows what engineers can do knowadays?? I mean they put a time machine in an Delorian in 1985 for goodness sake 😱

Emailed yesterday, got a mail literally minutes ago from John at Orange to arrange repair. What a service

Have to say, I quite like their quirkiness modern ways of communicating mean different approaches to different mediums. Had lots of communication over the years with Ashdown and always found them to be polite, courteous and respectful. Now Sibob, if you are saying something along the lines of putting a CTM-100 inside one of those new small cases?? I'm well on board PS, you need to talk with the guys at Ruark (if still operational) chilled? These guys are horizontal and ace on the phone

Will do

They are Eminence equipped which is cool for me, cos I love em

I had a CTM 15 sure it was all valve, 2xax7 and 2xEL84 pre and power sections.
