Of any of you that have bought a NEW Orange Bass cab, did it come with the cover included?

My OBC112's did not come with the covers. I had to buy them separate. My Terror Bass did come with a padded carry bag. My 4 Stroke 500 did not, nor did my Orange Crush Bass 50 combo.
topic derail, speaking to my experience with my Terror Bass 500 with my rock band for the first time.
We soundchecked before the show and it was fine. But since we were second on the bill, I put the amp on standby, as one does. And then, just before we started our set, I played some notes and it sounded so thin and midsy, seemingly from FOH only. Lucky that I realized I had the amp on standby and had forgotten about it (this is my first tube amp). Toggled it down to ON and we were good to go.
Rookie mistake!

Got mine used, came with the bag, but missing a foot on the bag. Also missing the handle wrap, if that's a thing. Can one get one?
You can get the bag at the Orange USA store if it’s what you need [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] 1st drop down option on sizes .
That was funny. Thank you for that.
PS: Now that I laughed with you, I better be careful that doesn't happen to me.
So far it sounds great! I’ve wanted an orange for years and this is also my first amp I’ve ever had that’s not a combo. I wasn’t expecting the decent cleans which was a pleasant surprise. The drive sounds absolutely insane, bone crunching distortion is the best way I can describe it. Normally I play with an all clean signal or with a small amount of breakup, but so far it’s been a lot of fun messing around with the overdrive on board. Another unexpected surprise were the highs, there’s a decent amount without a tweeter in the obc115 cabs. Very nice for the music I play (thrash, death metal)!

Have you played it with the band? Do the mids and highs come through at volume, with drums and guitars?
I’m getting a new OBC-115 this week and hoping it, with my AD200 can stand up with my band in our small space

I have not been able to play with a band yet and won’t be for a while unfortunately. For now it’s an awesome studio rig but hope to play it in a band situation within the next few weeks. I can’t imagine it not cutting through though, since they can handle so much range in eq. If anything maybe lower the bass just a little so it’s not so boomy…the obc115s seem naturally more prone to bass frequencies than other setups I’ve played through.
You’ll probably be fine, although you might find yourself wanting more. I play in a slightly louder than average cover band with an AD200B + OBC115 + Eden 212 and I have to be careful with the volume because it’s loud as hell in our small rehearsal space. I think both the volume and gain knobs are just below 9 o’clock. The rig is totally overkill but I love how it sounds. I’ve ordered a second OBC115 to replace the Eden cab, mainly for aesthetics.
Exactly…my setup is overkill too currently but one thing I’ve learned is it’s always better to have more than not enough. It’s also relatively easy to have a decent sound at lower volumes with this setup. With the ob1-300 turned up to 2, my whole house is rumbling.

I’d love to find an OBC210 (or OBC210MINI) just to have the versatility, but I’m hoping the one 115 will be enough, for the rehearsal space and live. I hate the idea of needing 2 cabinets, especially live.
I have my eye on a Barefaced 610 as possibly a live cab. But that will require that I sell off some gear. And of course having a good idea that either or both of my bands will start playing out more will help with that decision.
Anyone here use a Darkglass AO with an Orange amp? Just wondering how they pair as I'm looking at a terror bass head at the moment but won't be able to try it first with my gear. As far as I can see most people seem to be fans of the terror bass but its always hard to know what gear people are putting through it etc
I used to use an Alpha Omicron as my sole dirt pedal through my Mk1 TB500. Sounded awesome. I don’t think I’ve had a better gain sound since and often miss having it on my board.
This is also all through an SP410, which I’ve been using since they first came out. I love this cab so much but my back’s starting not to.

I ran my b7k V2 pedal through my 0b1-300 and 2 x obc115 cabs just yesterday and it sounded insane to me. I ran it through the effects loop, like having two different amps in one setup!
So it's time for an update on my Terror Bass issue. I contacted Orange again about my RMA and found out that they had already sent one out to me and to check my SPAM Folder. Sure enough it was there so I have to give a shout out to Orange for being very quick, they actually sent it out that same day when I first contacted them.
I sent it out the next day and Orange received it on Monday. By Wednesday they contacted me and told me that it was ready. They said it was $65 an hour to repair plus $20 in parts for a whopping $85. So I'm pretty happy about that.

When I asked them what was wrong with it I was told they had to replace the power amp
. $20 for a power amp 
? Not sure that is correct, but hey I'll take it. So now I'm hoping to have it back by Monday and give it a good run on next weeks gig. 
BTW while it was gone I used my 4 Stroke at last weeks show with two EBMM Stingray Special 4HH's and that sounded really good. I knew it would although I still prefer the Terror Bass, but the 4 Stroke and OBC115's were really rocking. I'll have to start taking that amp out more often.
