    Are Smoothie Compressors gone?

    Mine arrived today, and I’ve been playing around with it. Me like! Creamy, thicker, squishy and more even sound. (I’m running a Stingray Special through a Mesa TT800—so my amp is no lightweight). Definitely like this compressor.

    Orange SP212 Cab: Worth fixing?

    I suspect it doesn’t have original drivers. I opened it up and found 1-500 watt speaker (not sure about the other one). Specs I found online said it comes with 2x300 watt drivers. called the shop that sold it to me, they’re going to make it good. Fix or return $$

    Orange SP212 Cab: Worth fixing?

    thanks....I just opened it up to see what I'm dealing with. the forward speaker isn't right it's a 500watt speaker--I halted my inspection right there. It's supposed to have 2X300watt.

    Orange SP212 Cab: Worth fixing?

    Not much above comfortable small room level. Definitely not loud enough to be heard with a drummer. maybe 25-35% on the knob and little-to-no gain. Thanks

    Orange SP212 Cab: Worth fixing?

    I picked up a used Orange SP212 cabinet. Turning up the volume on my Subway amp there is a rattle and blown speaker sound, at low volumes it isn't noticeable. Repair guy wants $95 just to diagnose it. Should I cut my loses? Thoughts? thanks FYI, This will just be a cab I leave and use at the...

    Seller wants his bass back?

    If you are ok with returning it: (you should not be out time or money) i would say here’s what I spent upgrading it. And here’s what my time is worth to install/uninstall the parts. And that would be what it takes to get it back. He made the mistake selling it, you shouldn’t have to pay for it

    Has someone ever damaged your gear?

    I hear guys over at Fender are getting paid handsomely to damage basses.

    Which Ampeg?

    I’m leaning towards Ampeg combo looking at the Rocket series and the BAss Amp series. But which one? I’m fortunate money isn’t the problem, I just don’t want to regret the choice. I will be hauling to and from practice a 2-3 times a month but mostly playing it at home. Our drummer is loud so...

    Bassists of the '60's Club.

    Add me to the list. Al Green, Bill Withers, lots of Motown, dig me some funk, and all the typical 60's stuff. Here's a nice little tune by Puccio Roelens:
