Sparky_Bass Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi Guys and Gals, For those of you with Orange Terror Bass 500 Amps... you've probably been asked before but I really want a matching shell case or sleeve. Any ideas where to get one? I can't seem to find one in the UK... There a guy in the US that does them but nothing here as far as I can tell. Many thanks for your time and help 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I have been through this recently. Unfortunately Zilla Cabs, the only UK based TB500 head sleeve manufacturer, have stopped doing them (something to do with the latest tools not fitting inside the sleeve). I could only find a US manufacturer but with import duty and shipping it would have been over £400, which I am not willing to pay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 This is the US company. $300 for head sleeve, $108 delivery. Add in just over 20% for import duty and you get to £400 ish. https://mooncabinets.com/products/custom-headsleeve-for-orange-terror-lunchbox-style-amps 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky_Bass Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi Clarky Thanks for the swift response... Shame there's no one manufacturing these in the UK for a reason price! - defo a business opportunity for someone handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I tried to get Zilla to do one for me back in 2019. He literally stopped emailing me about half way through, having started every email with an apology. I always wondered why he went quiet and assume reading this, the not having the tools comment was the reason. I kept all my comms patient and couldn't work out what the issue was. In the end I bought the AD200B but it was a shame as there would definitely be a market for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Re: Zilla and tools, apparently its to do with the size of modern staple guns 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky_Bass Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Someone has to be able to do this in the UK... I'm not that great with wood work otherwise I would give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudewheresmybass Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) is it not worth asking orange direct? They may have an alternative supplier already? Edited July 6, 2022 by dudewheresmybass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
