Well that sucks. I just got a new bass this week. I wanted either a Harvest Orange EBMM Stingray Special HH or a Smoked Chrome EBMM Stingray Special HH.Update on my Glenn Hughes Deep Purple Orange Crush Bass 50.
Shipping end of April now…
An EBMM rep told me it would take me 4 months, maybe, to get the Harvest Orange or l could get the Smoked Chrome this week from GC with a huge discount off a friend I have there. I think you can tell what I went with. Sorry to hear about your wait.

Lol. Reminds me of a song by Motorhead, The Chase is Better than the Catch.I'm ok with it…sometimes the waiting is more fun than the actual item. But in this case.
I was really excited to use my orange gear today. This guy agreed to jam with me today but he stopped replying. Maybe another time.
Damn, another thing that sucked today. Hopefully you get the chance to play it soon.
I've always wanted an old Orange head to plop on top of my '72 svt cab...
I saw Prong the other day and noticed the bassist was playing an orange bass cab with perhaps a guitar cab paired with a terror head. His tone was amazing. Anybody got a clue of his gear?
I have a outdoor gig coming up, my problem is finding help in moving the 4x10 obc cabinets, I can do it but it might throw my back out.
Depending on access to the stage, a small trolley, hand cart, whatever you call it, makes a helluva difference
Hey, guys, just posting to again say what an amp! At the last three gigs, I've used my Terror Bass and one OBC112. I have two, but one cab gives me plenty of volume.
Until I got the Terror Bass, I didn't really get compliments on my bass sound. Now I do.
Last night, we played a local brewery, third time with this lineup, and I was asked a couple of times to turn UP. Very refreshing.

I'm in an Australiana folk rock band. A few weeks ago I played an "acoustic" gig at a smallish venue: vocals, violin, acoustic guitar and acoustic bass (me). The vocals and violin went through the house PA and the guitar went through the house amplifier (Vox, IIRC). I knew in advance that the venue did not have a house bass rig, so I brought my Orange LBT and SP210 mini-cabinet. It's the smallest rig I own.
I know it sounds like a really odd pairing, but my Martin BCPA4 acoustic bass guitar sounded amazing through my diminutive Orange rig. There were lots of musicians in the audience, and a few people came to speak to me afterwards to compliment me on my tone and asking me why I was using a "metal" amplifier with an acoustic bass guitar.
It never occurred to me that Orange is considered "metal"... is it? I guess the Black Sabbath legacy is still strong. Maybe I should wear spikes to my next gig \m/

Question for Terror mkII owners:
The power light of my mkII sometimes hesitates to go on/flickers when switching from off to standby. Amp operates flawlessly otherwise.
Something to worry about or just part of the security checks at startup?

Just normal operating procedure...
Mine takes a second for the light to come on and also takes a second to turn off.
No big deal...
Question to the club: is the DI out on the terror bass v2 the warm tubey deliciousness that I imagine it to be?
I was told by one sound guy that it sounds like a bass is supposed to sound like. Another sound guy told me that the Terror Bass and TC RH750 were his favorites of mine to work with. When I have gone out into the crowd, wirelessly, it does sound really good and tubey to my ears. As always YMMV.
