Orange Terror 500, Orange SP212 and Ahdown 4x10. I'm getting old and my back wants something lighter than the Ashdown!! Having said that, someone just emailed me to possibly offer me an Orange SP210...

Hi all. Looking to get an extension cab for my rig. Either Fender Rumble 115 or Markbass Traveller 115. Both are light weight, which I need. Anyone played through both and able to describe the difference? Going to have to be an online purchase as I can get down to a shop selling both.... Ta

If you selfishly block my path with your car, you can either move it, get some lovely new dents in your car or find a new bass player.

I did consider an Orange 1x15 I saw on Ebay. Unfortunately, the decision may come down to budget....

My current rig is an Orange Terror 500w, going through an Ashdown 4x10 and Orange isoberic 2x12. The Ashdown is just too heavy for me now, and fitting the rig plus 2 basses onto the car is too much. I'm thinking of swapping out the Ashdown for something like a Markbass traveller 151 or a Fender Rumble 115. So a 2x12 sitting ontop of a 1x15. What other cab combinations do people like/use?

I beg to differ. When a bassist did that to my amp, I just got on stage and lowered it. It was that or just or I turned it off. My head is far more valuable to me than their set time. In interest if full disclosure, I had agreed in adv to him using my rig via their drummer, but when he didn't introduce himself or thank me during sound check for the kit share, alarm bells started ringing.I find the ill mannered ones are usually the ones to abuse someone else's kit.

Thanks for replies - very helpful

Has anyone here ever perforated their eardrum??? Our guitarist just messaged to say he thinks he has perforated ear drum while water skiing. Wondering if anyone here has ever had similar injury? I am guessing he won't be able to gig for a while? We have three gigs in a couple of weeks. Or should that be had??? Ta

Many thanks mate. Interesting on the neck front. Both sound quite a handful.

HI there. Currently GASSIng for both of these. Has anyone played both? Love to hear what the differences were. Currently looking for a shop with both in stock to go and have a play about...

I haven't played there, but I've drunk there. Fun place.

The Who - live at Leeds. They're an entirely other band live compared to albums. For me, that album is perfection.

No contract, and I know it would be pretty to kick up a stink - it's just annoyed me.

The organiser is in several bands, there are bands playing that venue every weekend and several bands from last year are playing again this year. Just annoys me that we weren't asked back and but they don't mind using our pic.

Why use a pic of a band that aren't playing?

They may have the right to the actual picture, but do they have right to use our likeness? I admit I know nothing about this!

I was tempted to comment on the poster asking what date we were playing, so they'd have to reply saying we weren't - they just used our picture on the poster. But I don't want to get petty - it is a charity event after all.

Exactly. We never signed anything last year, so they don't have the rights to our image. We don't want to play the festival - it's just a point of principle.

So last year my band played a local festival which raised money for charity, and we went down really well. The festival is on again this year, but we haven't been asked to play. That's fine with us (I can't stand the woman who organizes it, the charity is for stray animals abroad & the sound man is incompetent) but I have seen the poster and they have used a picture of us from last year as the background! It doesn't list us as one of the bands playing and I don't think they are trying to mislead people - is it silly that this has really gypsy's kissed me off?

Sorry to thread hijack, but never heard of this band or song - really enjoyed. Reminded me of Joan Jett. Anyway, I'm off to check out this album. Oh yeah, and your right - great bass sound!

Unfortunately, I can't pop over to Spain to visit his store If you can answer emails prior to sale, no excuse for not replying afterwards. If they don't arrive soon, some lucky company will get 2 orders from me. One to go in my main bass and one to go in spare which currently has Jess' pups. I wan't them to sound the same. Maybe I'll investigate Mojo. Thanks for the tip.

I've read a few posts on here saying emails are replied to before sale, and then nothing after - think I'm the only one who has paid and recieved nothing. I'm sure he did despatch, but's it's simply inexcusable to ignore a customer when they report their item has been lost in transit. Shame. A really good product.

My wife very kindly ordered me some jess loureiro pups for my p-bass early in December last year, and while we can see they were despatched soon after, they have still not arrived. We've emailed several times, but have received zero replies. I going to give it till the end of the month and then raise a dispute with paypal. Anyway, can anyone who has played a jess loureiro p-bass pup recommend a similar sounding alternative? Preferably a company who's 'reply' function on their email works... Thanks in adv, Dan

Oh wow, never noticed that before. Well spotted!!!
