Cairobill Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) 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!

Jacqueslemac Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited May 22, 2014 by Jacqueslemac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
