Clarky Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 While I love the looks of this, I tried a quick one-hand lift at the Orange stand at LBS and it seems quite heavy for a compact neo-equipped combo (my guess is 60+ pounds). I'm not so sure going with a 2x12 was the right move. I would have though 2x10 would appeal to more and would have been appreciably lighter .. and cheaper (they retail at £848 - see link below). I am assuming it sounds just like a Terror Bass head with no extra bells and whistles given the control layout [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Orange-TB500C-Terror-Bass-Combo~ID~15121.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Orange-TB500C-Terror-Bass-Combo~ID~15121.asp[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Orange just emailed me to say this thing weighs 24kg - about 52 pounds. Surprises me as it felt heavier than that, albeit it was a one-hand lift at an awkward angle. I still think a 2x10, lighter and cheaper combo would have been preferable. I shan't be buying this one hwereas I might have gone for a 2x10 combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The SP210 cab weighs in around 20kg and the head about 3.5kg, so the 52lb figure is believable. Clarky, just buy the head and SP210 seperately!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgydj Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I just got my TB500c today and on initial plug in and play it really does sound nice, i am going to A/B it against my Trusty ABM 2X10 300 evo 2 at rehearsal on Sunday, but so far it is good, and i like a nice simple control layout, which was one of the things that did it for this combo in the first place..... more knobs mean you get a sound you really like but then you lose it and the amp loses its savour for you... but then that might just be me. I only ever use one basic sound that i really like, which I found straight away on this baby. Plus it's one box. although you still have to connect the head to the cab with a speak on cable, which I found a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
