Orange 4x10 Box 600 Watt (8 Ohms) 4x10" Speaker + Horn

Having come back off two larger tours with a small setup, I'd always admired these. Orange was one of the dream companies when it came to bass amplication, when I first started playing some 30yrs ago. In that time I have done the big rigs, the class D stuff, the portable and the practice amps. More recently I had been opting for more lightweight setups as I'm acknowledging I'm getting older. However I definitely noticed a need for a bigger rig as some of the venues I've played recently have been bigger.
So I took the plunge and bought this. Downsides - it is of course heavy. It also doesn't come with a cover but Orange do a pretty neat one for around £30 that is easily obtainable. Also, it isn't the cheapest 4x10 cab so I guess you have to really want it. Beyond that I don't see any faults. It's well made and so long as you like Orange tolex (obviously I do), it looks great. I plugged in the new Orange bass terror head and immediately was struck by what must have been the best bass tone I have ever had. I'm sure negotiating stairs after shows as my singer goes flouncing about not helping might make me question the purchase but if tone is important, this is the cab! I should probably add, it is loud so if like me you are also playing smaller venues with landlords who worry about volume, it's probably worth keeping a smaller rig in reserve for those shows.
