Clarky Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Major edit (as have reconsidered and decided to keep Barefaced cab): OK, mistake (not for the first time)! In a fit of rockgod enthusiasm I bought Tee's Orange AD200B amp at the end of June. Basically its too heavy (just over 50 lb) for my dodgy back. I bought a TC 450 Classic head as back-up for the Orange and TBH it does a pretty good copy of tubey-ness so I am going back to a lightweight rig. Call me a wuss, Wayne! Hence I am moving this on. £750 for this lovely warm sounding Orange amp (perfect nick bar one metal rivet on one corner) Due to size/weight its collection/meet-up only in London (I am near hammersmith) [attachment=58451:clarky_basses_513.JPG] Edited September 11, 2010 by Clarky
Clarky Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Specifications below (note: the Orange weighs 25kg, while the Vintage weighs 21 kg) [url="http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/product_335_Orange_AD200B_Head.html"]http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/product_33...D200B_Head.html[/url] [url="http://barefacedbass.com/vintage.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/vintage.htm[/url] Edited September 9, 2010 by Clarky
Clarky Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Having received PMs, I just want to make absolutely clear that I will not post these items due to size/weight (and fragility of valves as I don't have a flight case for the amp). Its collection-only or meet-up. Sorry to those further afield.
Prime_BASS Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Having witnessed the vintages's little brother (compact) and owned one of those ad200 and an ad series guitar stack this rig must be a beast, even separate those are deals. Sorry I'm not buying, free bump +

Clarky Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 [quote name='MythSte' post='950936' date='Sep 9 2010, 07:00 PM'] You'll kick yourself Clarky...![/quote] But my back won't kick me, errrr....
MythSte Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Its such a shame... Really! Barefaced Vintages and Valves work a right treat, There are at least 4 of us on here using this formula. Trust!
Clarky Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 TBH, I will be perfectly happy if noone comes in for the Vintage as I can handle it and it sounds great. The Orange is another matter though as, while it sounds absolutely superb, it is a problem for my glass back.
MythSte Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 find yourself a trace twin valve! It cant weigh more than 10kg (although im yet to weigh it) and it sounds suberp.
BassBod Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I couldn't think of a set up that is less useful to me and my "stealth gigging" agenda...but even I thought about it for a minute or two! Bet it sounds very very very good...and is a lot easier to move than your average 4x10.

Merton Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Two Vintage cabs at every wedding I play... that's not OTT is it?
BassBod Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Ummmm...my wedding gig on Saturday was Vocal, jaazzz geetar and electric upright. The GK combo was overkill. Don't think a 2x15 would get me booked again, even if I forgot to plug it in. Maybe a hint of doom, I guess. But I'd have to grow some more hair first.

I can get away with a 2x15 coz it looks f**king cool and I don't turn it up *that* much Not tried it for jazz yet...
Clarky Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Bump and all change! After further consideration I have decided I to keep the Barefaced cab ( after all an Epifani UL310, which is what I was thinking of getting instead, weighs more!) and just sell the Orange amp. OP edited to match. So does anyone want some British valvey-y goodness? Weighty, yes, although entirely manageable for the strapping among you ... and nothing like as heavy as an Ampeg SVT (although I realise that Ampeg is the pinnacle of all things bass-like, lol!) Edited September 10, 2010 by Clarky
Clarky Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) I have received a good offer on this but it would require posting. I am not currently willing to do this as it would mean removing valves and finding very robust packaging. Currently this is only for collection or meet-up in (or close to) London Edited September 10, 2010 by Clarky
Clarky Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Have had a couple of potential offers to collect whilst I was away from my computer this afternoon. In the interest of fairness I will deal with these in the order the PM's arrived. I am waiting to hear back from the first guy but the upshot is the amp may be 'on hold' until tomorrow lunch-time. Edit: this is indeed "on hold" until tomorrow at midday Edited September 10, 2010 by Clarky
tbkicks Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 As a newbie I just want to say that Clarky is a gentleman. I PM'd him this afternoon and offered him his price plus £50 (ie £800) if I could rush down from Brum and pick up his ad200 as I have a packed day tomorrow and am gigging tomorrow night. He pointed out to me that he had another PM just before mine asking him to put it on hold at £750 until tomorrow midday, and even though I pointed out to him that his other PM may well have something to do with the sixteen bidders who are chasing an ad200 & 410cab on ebay (which coincidentally finishes an hour or so before midday tomorrow) he affirmed that he was a man of his word and would wait for the guy tomorrow. Clarky you've cost me a fortune mate with your honourable ways I've just bought a brand new orange ad200 amp in black and an obc410 cab in black . Finally if anyone's thinking of selling a good obc115 cab could they please pm me as buying new is a bit painful. PS: all the best with your sale tomorrow and your quest for a lighter amp.
