The Orange Terror 500W Bass Head - 500W for £599!

[@Delwood55]

I wish the bass was as popular as the guitar. Not enough love for the bass ):

[@Studio1215]

Have a Terror Bass ordered and is due in next week. Very excited, especially after hearing this.

[@beedi501]

How are you finding it so far?

[@mickeybreezy]

Just three years later this amp is now $849.

[@jackthomson5047]

Why would you use that bass to demo this? A nice passive p or jazz would have been perfect.

[@KylePBass]

it’d sound like every demo ever tho

[@lawrencebyrdsong7570]

Why not

[@jacksonsjackedupbass2741]

@@lawrencebyrdsong7570 it’s a more unique sound and the impedance is set

[@FenderFiend]

I agree with you. Nothing against that bass, but it's nice hearing something more representative of the majority of basses in use rather than something in a more niche area.

[@Ben_Mdws]

That Dingwall bass looks very cool - fantastic

[@fieldsage1476]

Would like to hear a passive demo as well. Not anything against the active, showing both would be great. Just would like to hear passive as well

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Just got one and I love it

[@proteus2103]

It's an orange.. 500 watt bass amp... that's terrifying... The orange terror 500. Brilliant!

[@stelth4162]

Some of these Anderton's videos are amazing. This video very much influenced my decision to buy the Orange Terror Bass 500 and 2 OBC112 cabs. I didn't buy it from Anderton's , since I'm over in the colonies, but if I were in the UK, I would definitely check them out. Fantastic amp, glad I got it instead of something else.

[@chrisb48907]

how do you like it..thinking about getting the same set up..probaly just one cab for now though..

[@ArthurStone]

Very nice amp/cab combo; warm, defined tone.

[@pecavallo]

Honest request. Can you please review bass amps with a Precision or Jazz Bass? it serves little purpose to know how the amp sounds with a Musicman or a Dingwall. This even helps less with an amp like Orange which is oriented to "traditional tones".

[@darkkip2003]

Agree, I have no real knowledge of how a Dingwall sounds so it’s hard to judge if how bad this sounds is all to the amp, or the bass, or a combination of the 2

[@inevitablecraftslab]

jup completely agree, use a bass that everyone knows the sound of like a p-bass, otherwise i dont know if i jusge the amp or the bass

[@girmonsproductions]

Yeah I agree too. I play a P bass and I’d love to know wether that would sound different.

[@iantruax17]

Thanks for selling it, fellers, just ordered mine last night, and the jam at the end of this was what helped me decide.

[@ziggysgroove]

Man!! Talk about some SICK ASS grooving!!! Flippin magic in those fingers bro! MMmmm, when you bust into (wait a second, all of you that are reading this - listen to this on headphones first! Totally bad ass tone and style.) into that groove at 13:02 - then just keep kicking balls all the way through to the 13:22 mark - wow, I love that groove and it's so simplistic in form but memorable as ever! Thank you for that inspiration. Cheers, mate.

[@fotoniknoise]

Came here to hear the bass, and I must support all this guitar show-off!

[@MrBCOIC]

That g&l guitar sounds great too ;)

[@philwhite6881]

Always brilliant reviews, but would be better using none boutique basses. Not gonna get that tone with say a precision or similar passive basses.

[@williamcampbell7387]

Thank goodness for the nice standby switch; I've had enough of the unpleasant ones.

[@rafito1280]

The DI sounds way better than mic. Really like this amp!

[@AttitudeCastle]

Interesting! If you think that maybe look at the Orange Little Bass thing. They have the same power section and DI. The DI on the Terror bass bypasses the pre-amp section.

[@AttitudeCastle]

DI on the new series (these ones) is killer SO much better than the super hot problematic ones from before.

[@jayl5941]

Interesting. I thought it was really good but the mic was better. Sounded like the lows flubbed out some in the DI.

[@Studio1215]

You might think the DI sounds better because there’s a 12AT7 tube at the Send. I just bought one of these but haven’t used the DI yet. Now I’m curious.

[@Dr.Turkey]

Pretty impressed with the DI sound. Since this has a solid state power section would I be able to use the DI without plugging into my cab for silent recording and practice?

[@Bassbernd99]

Yes, you can use it without a cab, like every ClassD Amp, allthough the manual says no. This is a mistake in the manual. Orange Support tells that when asked.

Terror Bass is a one trick pony. Admittedly it does that trick very well, but it is still a one trick pony. I own one of the original ones - the EQ does very little.

[@MikeLee-lg5vq]

Personally I think all Orange amps are one trick ponies. As you said, they do that trick very well. So if you want that sound you get an Orange, but they aren't a Jack of all trades kind of amp.

[@egnbigdave]

@@MikeLee-lg5vq yep. When I got mine I was wanting something with a valve pre-amp. But at times I miss my Ampeg PF500 as it was tonally much more versatile - only thing stopping me going back is I was lucky (had from new (And indeed from Andertons) one of the PF500s that never had any issues, and I cant guarantee Id drop lucky again.

[@benford1726]

Hold your head up ahhhh

[@Spritsailor]

How TF are we supposed to hear any difference when you turn the knobs every two seconds?

[@BobWadeGuitar]

Does anybody ever demo a straight ahead classic rock groove? All that treble and fast runs are useless in most band situations. Ampeg is the standard - can this head and cab approach that?

[@kristianutomotobing9719]

Should've been $500 for 500 watt

[@Tangalang22]

Doesn't matter, you can get 800 watts for 300 bucks from harley benton

It is £500 in the UK now

[@dominiccrimmings6925]

I think I'm going to have to get me one of those and a cab or two - when it's just bordering on breaking up, the natural tone is brilliant and I'd say it would sound awesome with a Fender Jazz (my preferred plank of choice). I've been looking for a sound (but without buying) that replicates or gets close to a SansAmp and that kind of does it for me - the problem with the SansAmp for me is the natural air movement from an amp/cab. I love the sound Geddy Lee gets from his SansAmp set up but I want a similar sound but something to play through, rather than DI'd straight to desk (if that makes sense !!). Great vid as always lads, look forward to the next. Question: do you guys stock Ampeg and if so, maybe a combo shootout? They're reasonably priced, classic sound and have a good range from beginner to pro. Just askin' ;-)
