Another barefaced BBII and Reidmar 250 head. Sounds a great combination though the head sounds compressed. The amp and single cab make a nice lightweight rig. When I get some time I plan to compare the two cabs with my BTII.

I have contacted Hypex and they confirmed that they no longer make the plate amp and are going to see if they have a service agent that I can take the plate/cab to for repair. Though it would be cool if Barefaced had one lurking in a corner cupboard in their workshop that they could sell or give me. 🙂Wishful thinking though.

I bought a Porter & Davies board when the band I was in went all in ears. I did like the added depth and feel that it provided but, the band never got the IEM system set up properly and the whole experience was just frustrating. Also the board weighs more than my bass rig and is more awkward to cart about. I haven't used it in over a year now. I am considering connecting to to my surround sound sub woofer channel and popping the sofa on top and using it to add another dimension when watching films and concerts.

What can I say but agree, they sound great. A bass player whom I depped for a few times, whilst she zig-zagged around the world backpacking, has decided she is not playing bass anymore and contacted me to see if I wanted her bass rig. YEAH!!!!! Now have her Reidmar 250 and another BBII cab which are in as new condition. I remember using that amp at her band's rehearsal room and was really impressed with the quality of the sound, so I'm really glad to have it.

Yikes, a close up with my EUB.

Yep fuse is fine as are the connections in the 240v plug.

In the past I too have had great service from Barefaced so i expect this is a minor blip. I don’t use Instagram. However it would be good to get a resolution from them before i resort to opening it up to see if i can find something obvious. If I don’t hear from BF by the end of the year, i will have to take it to a tech. Such a great cab to not have working.

Zombie thread revival. I bought an LF800 sub from a member here, ( not attributing any criticism at him). This summer I took it on a few gigs with a bbii to deal with the highs and the LF800 From the low frequency output of my preamp. Then on one gig it was fine at soundcheck but come showtime, nothing out of it at all. Brought it home the audio and mains cables are fine. however when plugged into the mains no light comes on. I hace contacted Bareface by email, got one response to confirm it was the 12" sub not the 18." but nothing else. Emailed today again with no response and the phone number is not working. I'm hoping someone from BF reads this and gets in touch. Basically if the plate amp is shot, i would like to be able to get hold of another, failing that, remove it, seal the hole and convert it to a 12" non powered sub that i can drive from my power amp. Anyone have the ear of Alex?

How young is young? 🙂

I have an original old G&G bass case that came with a 1980 bass and that has a pong to it but not that bad. I wonder if these old cases use fish glue in their construction which makes the smell bad over the years.

Yes i use my Alembic 30.75" short scale bass, but not often as in recent years as for most of my gigging i use a 5 string..

I had some covers made by them a few years back for my Roland JC120 and also PJB Briefcase and they look exactly the same design and quality as the barefaced cabs. That said, who knows if the spec for BF ones is slightly different in some way. If they are it's pretty minor.

Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs. Everything I Own- Ken Boothe. Wild World - Maxi Priest.

For pure double bass try ' The Griffith Park Collection' it's a superb album.

Cimande at Brixton O2 Academy on Friday night. I'd heard of them before but didn't know their music so it was a nice to hear it live first.

Buy the 5 string and throw the B-string away.

How did you come to that conclusion?
