Not the most expensive casters in the world, but they work and have made moving this stack around much easier.

here is the rear- Mains, footswitch for "blend" and effects loop. No DI out, but your DI box can loop into the effects :bassist:

This thing KICKS!!! Plenty of clean headroom on tap if you want. The parametric mids is really great for dialing in mid-lows, or adding "bite" to your high end (300-2.7kHz sweep with +\- 15db)

The blend and gain take you to incredible places- even aggressive gain and blend sound harmonically awesome- :hyper::hyper:

I have no idea how loud the gets yet- plenty of headroom so far- and great low end response!!- loving it so far! Glad I'm finally IN!! :thumbsup:

Very nice.
 
Thought I'd r post this here as it's dealing with Orange.. from this thread re a TB500 being a li'l muddy.....
with a li'l comparison with the Fender Super Bassman.

A reason why I like the Fender Super Bassman, specifically the VINTAGE channel. Imho, similar to the AD200B, and TB500. . but with its DEEP and BRIGHT switches and Fender tone, it's a very nice all tube 300w option.
And then there's the OVERDRIVE channel - with its active eq, and of course, overdrive, which is excellent, is 100% optional. It's a very cool clean tone outta there too.

That said, next suitably sized gig, I'll take the AD200B and Bassman 115


I'd give it a good, thorough work out. There are terrific slightly furry tones in there.
Unlikely, but the tube in V1 position mayyyybe either not great for that amp, or worn out.. again, unlikely but worth checking if you see potential of working with the amp for the future.




I had a TB500 10+ yrs ago, and I can't remember what exactly, the clean tone was like.

One thing the AD200B is, is being clear, punchy with the ability to get downright filthy if desired
 
Practice Thursday with BL (singer/guitar), drummer Don and "radiologist/banjo player" working about 40 miles East in Chinle…

First practice in quite awhile- thinking the new Orange Crush will be coming! It can do smooth or crunchy!

No idea what we will be playing. Well, maybe some idea…I'll ask..:whistle:

I own a terror bass 500. Can I join the club? Is there like an iniciation or something?View attachment 4654932

:woot: Well Played, Sir!
 
Thanks! Now a couple of official members questions: will we have beer and singing? Do we have an alien? Can we have a rig showdown day?

I wouldn't be against beer and singing. What about the 27th of April as our official festivity?
It is Kings' day in the Netherlands, a day to commemorate the head of the dutch royal family, also known as the House of Oranje.
