Funny that I read this Kasino post today, after last night watching a Godzilla movie! I've often thought of your Kasino as the Godzilla of combos. So that would mean it's title could be,

Kasino
King of Combos!

:D

I sorta wish I had a place to use it again. And someone to help get it into the gigmobile. I'd hafta lower both center row seats(the back row stays folded).

That's going to be one hell of a static clash.... Does anyone have a high speed camera to record all this?

Thanks for being my sounding board everyone! It is really helpful getting your thoughts.

It seems that you are satisfied with the 25, so I am assuming that if this deal did not occur, you would not desire the 50, but would want a gearbox.
Keep your focus on the gearbox, once you have it you can shift your focus.;)

You’re correct. I love the heck out of my 25, and while I have always wanted the 50, most of the reasons I wanted it over the 25 have been negated by my getting the Darkglass Alpha Omega.

If this deal hadn’t come along, upgrading would have been a very distant hypothetical mental exercise in looking at all the cool shiny things, with no actual interest in spending money.

For me, it comes down top tone and volume. Doubling the wattage makes very little difference in how loud the amp is. But the speaker may more more air. I'd compare how well I like the controls, the tone, and volume, along with DI features, etc.

If the Orange simply crushes it (ha!), and I was confident I could get enough for the Rumble to still get the gearbox soon, I'd get it. Otherwise, I'd stick with the Rumble and get a bigger amp later for gigs where I needed the volume w/o going through a PA (or as my stage bass monitor).

But of course, that's me. YMMV.

It would be interesting to go back and listen to them again, now that I’ve been playing for a few months and seeing how they sound comparatively now.

Since I am more than pleased with how my little Orange 25 sounds, the smart decision is to keep saving to rebuild the gearbox. Can’t play my bass anywhere but home when the car doesn’t want to shift between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

  5. The right to wear a smirk each time you post here.
  6. A Fearless Leader Grab Bag of Stuff.
RULES
Standard Combo Club membership application rules apply: a photo must be posted of the applicant's combo, and the applicant must request membership. Applicant must mention who invited, begged, cajoled, coerced, or whatevered them or it won't count toward your score!
Keep it legal; our defense fund is depleted at the moment.
No purchase required. All decisions by the judges (a.k.a., Fearless Leader's Secret Cabal[2]) are final. Fearless Leader, Secret Cabal, and their immediate family and pets (alive, undead, or deceased) may play but are exempt from winning or being awarded prizes.

3 ... 2 ... 1... GO!

[1] You'll have to pay for them yourself, but once you've reimbursed yourself for all the drinks, they were free! This is how communitalism works; is not grand?
[2] What Secret Cabal? I am the operator of my pocket calculator!

Good luck, everyone!

I’ve got some deciding to do. My music shop is closing down, and has cut the price on the Orange Crush Bass 50 down to $390 (They're usually $500 here). Do I grab it next pay, and try to sell off the 25 to recoup some of the cost, which will mean at the end of the day, I've potentially got a 50 for bugger all cost, or do I hold the line and keep enjoying the sounds that I'm getting out of my 25, and keep saving up for that VW gearbox that I need.

Argh! I hate making decisions!

If you could get over and take the 50 for a test drive- you may walk out with it! But you should give it a go! Shame about the shop closing- that’s the real tragedy!!
