Guest monsterthompson Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 [quote name='Shire' timestamp='1421823401' post='2665320'] Here's a demo from GAK: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6z0owcNn6s[/media] [/quote] the talking part of that video hurts my brain. this is not "bi-amping" and the thought that Orange built this for the gargantuan demand of two-piece bands is silly.

Guest monsterthompson Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 as a bearded bassist, i'm not sure I like the direction of this thread Quote
Billy Apple Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I just spoke to GAK. They are postulating that this might replace the TB Quote
bassmachine2112 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Replace the TB-dinnae be silly. Plenty room for all of them and a balanced line up.S/S,Hybrid,All Valve ,choice for everyone. It would be nice to hear them A/B . Is Orange going to make a cab for this like a 2x12,8 ohm,600 watt conventional cab,not isobaric,that would be neat. I will gladly road test the prototype,I do about 100 gigs a year and practices so I could road test them in the real world. Quote

All its other features let it down though. Quote
Billy Apple Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I turned up at GAK yesterday. The one they have in the YT vid is a prototype brought for the day. Naturally the chaps were saying that it was awesome. Quote
madshadows Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 At the about the 8.30 mark on the link below the new 500w Orange OB1 Bass Amp is demo'd along with a look at a possible Orange bass guitar, I liked the sound of the amp and bass, what are folks thoughts on these?

bassmachine2112 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Aha a new sp212 cab at the same price as the old one-interesting. Quote

Dood Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Right! I played with the 300W version today and i have to say I think it sounded really good! Up against a D Class head it oozed body even before adding in the drive section we at the studio agreed. Quote

Billy Apple Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Was this the one Guitar and Bass Magazine has? I've been trying to get ahold of one for a BC review. Quote
JapanAxe Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 The big online retailers (GAK, PMT etc) are all showing the OB-1 heads as 'pre-order'. Guess we'll have to wait a while before they hit the shops... Quote
Bobthedog Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I asked my LBS, an Orange stockist, when these will be out. 1st April apparently, although they will not carry this specific head as bass is no longer a big sell item for them. I am really keen to hear one live. The YouTube vids make it a "want" item, but the brain is saying check it out first. Quote

zacclowes Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Will probably have to get one of these at some point they seem awesome. Quote
