theosd Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Phew, one sweltering drive later and I now have a groovy Orange rig... Couldn't be happier!! Have to say though I forgot how heavy bass amps can be having got accustomed to my Markbass cmd121h, that cab is a lump! Next month it'll be getting a service/revalving but for now I'm just happy to be able to hear it at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 That is one HEAVY cab, I agree, but it does sound HUGE. I cant imagine wanting to move it around in this heat hahah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Looks good, although i wouldn't technically call it a "Bass amp", i should imagine it probably does the job quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look to get some more gain with the valves I replace it with though. I was toying with the idea of getting Matamp to build me two 1x12" cabs and using it as a PA but the cab turned up on ebay and when no one swooped I did a bit of behind-the counter bargaining! Well chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosd Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Got to crank it at rehearsal last night.. well, 10 o'clock.. Wow, what a beautiful noise it makes. Fills the bottom end completely and compliments the drums perfectly. Get a really phat overdrive if I dig in which compliments the dynamic in my technique rather than being set to the gain. Plus I can just about heave the cab into my car without assistance.. Drummer was amazed that anything could be heavier than his hardware case bless him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
