Orange bass amps

Has anyone here had any experience with any of the Orange bass amps? I've been really interesed in an AD200B head lately but there's only one shop around me that carries orange amps and they only occasionally get the orange bass cabs, and I've never seen one of the amps except for the thunderverb 200 which is guitar/bass.

I've been really interested in the AD200B or the terror bass amps, and have thought about maybe selling my mesa powerhouse 1000 cab for an orange 410 and 115 cab setup.

I found a shop about 20 miles away on the orange website that says they carry the full line, I might call them tomorrow and see if they have any of the bass amps in their shop.

I've heard really good things about the Bass Terror over on talkbass. The AD200 too. Really, Orange just makes a solid rock amp, whether it's for guitar or bass.

Yea I've seen great reviews of that stuff over at talkbass, but nobody ever puts up youtube clips or sound clips or anything like people here do. Plus I've posted here for a long time so I know I can trust people on here's word pretty well..

I would love to get the AD200 and one of the 115 cabs, and depending on how much i like the 115, I'd probably sell my mesa cab and buy the orange 410. That's the rig I'm dreaming of right now, 115 on the bottom, 410, AD200.

My bassist played a bass terror a few weeks ago and is now saving up for one. He said it was on three connected to a crappy, light 1x12 non-orange cab and on 3 it was shaking everything. He said tonally it's great and of course compact/lightweight.

I'll see if I can get more info from him.

That would be cool if he does get it, if you could get him to do a youtube demo of it or something. It seems that the information and demos and sounds of these amps out there is pretty limited. I went to my local shop that carries orange today and they said that the orange bass terror hadn't started shipping yet, I don't know how true that is, but he said they don't get the orange bass amps that much anyway, occasionally the cabs but not the heads to much. The owner of the store likes Eden bass amps, and stocks tons of those, but not much of anything else in the bass department. I am personally not an Eden fan, they sound too plain and don't really stand out to me, they don't have much character, they just sound like basic straightforward bass amps, with not much gain or anything to them, which is what I like about Ampeg and Orange.
