Black or orange RV50? Vote!

Post by Bensnake » Thu Mar 12, 2015 10:46 am

I've always cherished black Oranges though since I bought my orange CS50 + cab, I might have changed my mind regarding color choice...

So here's the deal. My black RV50 was sent back due to warranty matters (if anyone have missed that... :lol: )and I'm now gonna receive a new one. The question is: Should I go for a black or an orange one?

Please vote. Your opinion may be decisive... :D

...that´s a no brainer there for me. When it comes too anything else...black, but when it comes to amps well, orange makes me happy!!

Once you go orange, you never go back.

Well, not green anyway! :lol:

As usual I can't vote in the poll. No idea why not.

Ok, so orange it is (though I still love the looks of my black OR100).

Aha, just managed to vote as 'old me'. Interesting. Went for black too, I've always liked black Oranges. (Was so tempted by a black R.30C in a shop here for a long time. Glad it eventually sold...)

Hello, goodbye!

It looks absolutely gorgeous in black. The question is would you buy a black head and cab today if yours were stolen?

Quite possibly. I wouldn't mind either way, though that Orange tolex is a bitch to keep clean.
It gets dirt in very easily, and it then shows really bad. And because of the surface of the tolex, it can be difficult to clean nicely again, espeicaly in th tolex "divot".


(baby wipes are great though. I wonder how baby skin survive baby wipes - that stuff cleans everything / anything up)

Honestly never had a problem. Simple slip cover keeps them good and clean! :idea:
