Ghost Rider Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I have the chance to get an orange ad200 head from a really good friend of mine. Question is, what would be a great cab to go with it? I do like the the look & idea of a matching orange cab but I'm open to ideas. Anyone got any advice? Cheers Anth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attackbass Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Ampeg, Orange would sound great. Make sure whatever you get that you can defeat the tweeter on it as it can get a bit harsh and unpleasant especially when the amp starts to break up... I found sealed tweeterless cabs sounded better and more solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It really depends on personal preference & what You like the sound of. If you want to keep the orange colour, then Matamp make cabs in any colour you want. If it was me, my prefernces would be to try Markbass, Barefaced, Bergantino, Vanderkley & EBS. Though I'd still be trying others out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Orange parabolic 2x15 (two 15's mounted back to back firing up and down). Wonderful cab (though pretty damned rare). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Have to differ. I played through one and it was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Buy a cab you like the sound of and get it recovered to match your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I played through it before I had bought any Mesa gear (about 35 years ago but I remember vividly being hugely impressed). I have to say that nothing I've ever played through has been better than any of the Mesa cabs (for my leaden style of playing anyway).

bassmachine2112 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 OBC 115 or 2 simple as.I usually use just the one but have a SP212 as back up for small spaces and use both if needed which is rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Rider Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 I do like the look of the Orange 115 cab. Two might be a bit much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hiho,1 is enough for me in almost all occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
