Orange 4x12 for bass?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a lead on an early 70's Orange 4x12 cabinet, with two original speakers and two recent Celestion Vintage 30's. I've always wanted an Orange cab for guitar, but I was wondering how it would work as far as bass goes, whether the speakers could handle it, whether it would sound good, etc. I'm playing a GK 800RB currently, and thinking it might be cool to continue using my 8x10 with the GK's 300 watt section, and maybe the Orange 4x12 with the 100 watt section.

Anyone used an Orange or similar 4x12 cab for bass? What are your opinions?

Weird, I've actually been considering doing exactly this. Not too particular about what 4-12 cab, was leaning towards a straight marshall cab w/low wattage speakers. Currently running ric 4003 into GK800RB into ampeg 8-10.

I use a Marshall 1960B with G12T-75's for bass and it handles it no problem. Vintage 30's are 65w (I think?) so they might be a little more delicate, I would xover at about 80-100Hz and you'll be fine I'm sure.
