I bought my AD 15/12 from them too. Good guys. Nice and they know their stuff. Bill helped me pick the right amp for my needs.

Do you remember how much the Retro 50 was or how much you can usually find them for, assuming that you can find them?

Believe me, if you like it you should buy it. I'm a Orange dealer and tried to order a Retro 50 and they told me it was a 2 year wait. That's right... That wasn't a typo. a TWO YEAR wait!

So if it's a Retro 50 you want, I wouldn't procrastinate too long. :)

mmm ... when I ordered my Orange AD200B Basshead, they told me it was a 2 month wait ... And after more then 5 months I still haven't played the baby so ...

Maybe multiply it with 2 or 3 (6 years waiting ?) or maybe now Orange makes sure that you know to what you're up to and just makes the period pretty long ... Just take that bike and drive to Atlanta if you want that amp, don't wait for Orange <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_sleepy.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

A two year wait on that head?
I don't believe it.

Why offer it for sell if it can't be delivered any more quickly than two years?
