Borrow an orange bass terror for bank hols weekend?

[Cairobill]

Hello all

My bass terror went pffft in rehearsal last night and as luck would have it I'm in the studio sat, sun and mon.

Trouble is I need the exact same amp as we're completing an album that has already been recorded on an OBT 500 to date.

I'm seeing if I can get a repair this morning. If I can't, would anyone be interested in lending me their OBT500 for the bank holiday weekend? It would be used in a clean studio at moderate volumes.

I could lend you a fender American reissue 75 jazz In exchange or give you some dosh?

Location wise I'm in kent and recording in North London. Of course would pick up.

Failing that, anyone know anywhere in the London area that rents bass terrors? Fx don't have them.

Cheers, Nick

That's a whole 5 minutes, Wayne. What kept you..?

Excellent camaraderie if this comes off, though. Brilliant inter-assistance; true brotherhood spirit. I approve.

Me too.
Nice one Wayne.

Thanks all. Wayne has truly helped a fellow bassist out in his hour of need. Best forum in the world...Cheers, Nick

These amps tend to have a habit of going pfft. Mine has done so once, and got it repaired for nowt even though it was out of warranty, although I had to pay PMT £25 to cover the courier. I'd make sure I had a backup!

The early ones did, mine went 3 years out of warranty yet Orange picked it up and fixed in 2 days totally FOC.

Mine was one of the first ones and it failed well out of warranty too. Orange replaced it with a brand new one, completely free. PMT in Norwich didn't charge me for handling it either.

Hooray etc...

Basschat needs a 'Like' button.

[waynepunkdude]

It had one for a bit.

[paul_5]

but nobody liked it?

Or maybe we couldn't agree on which colour looked the best?

I think John Hall threatened to sue.

'Twasn't so much the 'Like' button, but its symmetrical 'Unlike' button which caused the hullabaloo. A 'p'-ing contest ensued and topics were sabotaged. Ugly business; scars were left.. A shame, but best off without.
Back on topic...
'Like'..!

Thanks Wayne!
