My future is bright, my future is Orange

[Cat Burrito]

I am tempted to put this in Gear Porn but wanted to share the virtues of signing up for shop emails. Following the soundcheck death of my Ampeg head I needed to get a small mini rig for the gigs where we don't take a van and space is an issue. We've stopped gigging for the rest of the year so I was in no hurry to get a spare second head.

However, I had an email from Soundslive with a few discount codes. I was nearly tempted last year but didn't need any gear at the time. 15% off Orange was one offer so I took the plunge and bought the Terror Bass head. I liked it so much that I decided to go the extra mile and get the matching cab. To my incredible surprise I tried the same discount code again and it worked! So I've found the cheapest shop in the UK and saved an additional £130+ on this set up.

So it never hurts to sign up for the newsletters etc, even when they start to feel like spam.

Tonally, I'm very happy. There's enough on Basschat on how these rigs sound so I'll just leave it with some pictures

Not that it is of any importance but I still think that Orange amps are the coolest looking around

(this has nothing to do with it matching my hair..)

Congrats, hope you enjoy it, let us know how those cabs are ?

Loved my orange cab, way to heavy, but the punch, oh regret

Do they do them in black?

I set up a sacrificial hotmail account and use that for spammy mail, keeps it out of my main mailbox

But they are more expensive, aren't they?

2009 was a limited white year, and it was the same price for my guitar PPC212.

Nice looking cab

It was the same price as the Orange versions.

If you google around the 1x15 white cab goes for as little as £399 which is cheaper than the same model in Orange

I remember the Radio 1 roadshow had Orange amps in the 1970's.

LMAO!!!
