Laurence Cottle used one for a good while and always sounded epic, to my ears, better than the GB bass.
-
I've even found his profile on here and dropped a message but nothing for weeks now. Anyone in the know or have any alternatives at all? Thanks for the replies so far though all

Please help me setup my Barefaced Super Compact tone
ossyrocks replied to Big_Sam's topic in Amps and Cabs
Ah ha, I've been where you are! I've had quite a few BF cabs. I started with the 10s, and loved them. But in my naivety at the time, I though moving up to 12s would be the same but bigger and better. I was wrong, I don't like the 12s for the same reasons you're talking about. They reproduce everything that goes into them from the top to the bottom. They do sound massive though. The sound I have in my head is rounded, warm, fat and punchy, but has no top end, very old school. I went back to the BF 10s, a Three10 to be specific, and I could not be happier. With careful amp choice and eq I could get close to what I wanted with the 12s, the best I managed was with a Tecamp Puma 900 (same as an Eich T900) with the Taste control very much cranked over to the Rich side.

I regrettably have an aversion to the feel of old strings, to me they don't have that responsiveness against the fingers. I'm aware this is a bit OCD as I don't actually mind the duller tone. The frequency of little parcels of bass strings arriving through the post has become a "talking point" with my other half!

how about if you changed the strings around on the basses you've got ?, would that count?

You could always use flatwounds instead.

Custom ordered from the legend himself, Pete"The Fish" Stevans in 1995. Excellent great sounding unique instrument. Been my main istrument since '95. I'm the first and only owner. Original blue case. Normal wear, like paint "weather cracks" backside, some front. Excellent playing condition. Have some spare parts (IC, screws, etc.) 12000 £ You can also make a reasonable price offer. Please, no tyre kickers. https://www.nedcom.nl/WAL/view.php?id=W3937

Yep that’s the issue with an amp di. Of course you can feed the pedals into the fx loop but having a di on the floor is so much easier. Plus you can fly anywhere and have your sound. it’s tough to beat the versatility of the capo.

I'm very strict about changing strings: Every 15 years, whether they need it or not.

Measure from the nut to the 12th fret and multiply by 2.
