    need amp advice : big clear thump

    Yeah, I think I might try and pair the head with an Orange cab (now which one?) and hunt around for another Ampeg B-15

    You know, that probably exactly right! at least for the short term, it's perfect- just need to find a good cab to pair with it- there's a local CL sale of an ORANGE 4 X 10 smart cab-could be a swell lil' rig Thanks!

    need amp advice : big clear thump

    That's why I'm interested in the Orange OB1 series-maybe more the 500 now so I have more clean headroom- I use some pedals- maybe the Ampeg PF series might be easier to find around here to test too

    need amp advice : big clear thump

    I take it no one is down with or has tried the new Orange OB1 series? I'm definitely into a lighter smaller package to haul around- I guess I might end up doing 4 x10s or 2x12s & a 1x15 eventually live - do something similar live with guitar - I like the idea and lightness of solid state but...

    need amp advice : big clear thump

    Our band touches on fuzzy pop, shoe shoegazey stuff, and Unwound. But we really dig the Muscle Shoals/Motown sounds, I love metal, OM, etc... I know you can get some major low-end from 10s- always been amazed by that - My 15" cab is ported and sounds beautiful, for guitar- I'll see if there's...

    need amp advice : big clear thump

    great question- not sure- not more than $1,500, and I'd rather keep it to $800-1,000 total (just a combo or head/cab) don't want anything larger than a standard 4 X12" cab, or really a nice 1 X 15" cab- (I have a great Emporer 1 X 15" guitar cab)-was thinking maybe the Orange OB1 300 with an...

    need amp advice : big clear thump

    hey! longtime guitarist/occasional bass player for quite awhile- want to add a nice sounding combo or head/cab to the home studio- would use it live as well, so at least 100W- I love the sound of 15s for guitar as well, so i'm leaning that way- I used to have an Ampeg B15N portaflex in the late...

    P Bass help-chasing some James Jamerson/Pino vibes

    Thanks, guys- I've played guitar for 25 years and bass off and on-just haven't had one around for a minute- just looking to buy once and buy well- I had a nice old Ampeg flip top at one point, and might hunt that sort of thing down again

    P Bass help-chasing some James Jamerson/Pino vibes

    Hey! I'm new here, but have hung at the Gear Page, etc (don't hold it against me) and we need to add a bass to our home studio- I really dig James Jamerson and Pino, and our band chases some indie fuzz pop too- I've been looking for a good American made P Bass, a 62 reissue style- but haven't...
