Trace Elliot 1048H and Orange Terror Bass. good mix?

Sign in to disble this ad
fast and easy question!
my band is going on tour and I'm upgrading for a portable set up. I put together a Trace Elliot 1048H and a Orange Terror Bass 500.

I don't really know to much about how bass amps work. Could this 500w 8ohms head work great for the Trace 800w 8ohms?

Is this a good set up for someone like me who likes to play
hot/punchy mids? and can it stand warm lows?

any help would be awesome!

Thanks!

I don't know the cab but since you need answers fast - my TB sounds great with my 2 GS112 cabs.
I think the amp has kind of dark mids and lows, but I might be mistaken because I turn down bass quite a bit. I set mids flat and turn bass to the point you have a wooly edge. Maybe is dark a synonym for warm, I don't know but I like the sound of the amp and a quality cab (like the TE I guess) should be able to reproduce that.

Btw, check out the in depth review by chatnoirband on youtube, it might give you an impression of what to expect.

IME/IMHO, most Orange and Trace Elliot gear is "mix and match" friendly. I think that combo would work out quite well.
