many years ago I had a Brisbane made bass combo who's name escapes me, had plastic gutter guard type mesh on the front LOL.

This time round I started with a Vox VTX20 combo, then bought an Orange Micro Terror. The Vox improved 100% when I beheaded it and plugged it into a 12 inch speaker of quality (have both a Jensen Falcon and a Celestion greenback in separate cabs), the Orange is a bit bland to be honest. It does most things well but nothing brilliantly. I mostly use the Vox for late night headphone noodling now.
