    I have a Barefaced ONE10t mainly for home practise, and I have just purchased a Barefaced TWO10s for gigging. My question is: Could I use them both together when gigging? They will probably be driven by a Fendle Rumble 800 head.

    PM'd I'll have this please?

    She is a bit like Marmite to many people, but I liked her, and yes, I fancied her like mad in my youth. 😉

    That's what I'm hoping when the Rumble 800 arrives

    To be honest, I got my ONE10 for home use mainly, and its perfect because it fits nicely right next to where I sit in a corner, so no one even knows it's there. For gigs, I've got a Barefaced Super Twin paired with either a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 or an incoming Fender Rumble 800 head, but it just seems a bit overkill for rehearsals in a village hall, and I don't really want to use these heads with the ONE10 just in case the noisy guitarists push me too much for volume. This is why I'm considering the Ampeg PF-350 Portaflex because it should only push out around 250w at 8ohms.

    I have the ONE10t, so I think the tweeter will help, I will only be using it in rehearsals, our drummer is a medium hitter and we rehearse in a little village hall, so we are not competing with mega loud bands in adjoining rooms, do you think the ONE10 will be ok?

    I actually contacted Lemonrock a few years ago and asked why they weren't active in the West Midlands, the reply was, "there's not enough bands and musicians interested", and then went on to tell me that I was welcome to join for a fee of about £50 at the time to be the only member in the area. 🙄

    Has anyone used a Ampeg PF-350 Portaflex through a Barefaced ONE10t? Is it a good combination?

    Lemonrock was great when I lived in Hertfordshire, and I know its strong in the West Country, but since moving to Shropshire, its non-existent in the West Midlands.

    About five years ago I messaged/texted 182 pubs, clubs, etc, I included video and audio links, but only 9 out of the 182 bothered to reply, we got one gig out of the nine that replied. We were a decent enough band and all the local gigs that we played, we went down really well and as word went around, we were being contacted by venues to play for good money. So when a band is starting out, its not really about how good you are, its just making that breakthrough onto the circuit that has been occupied by bands playing the same venues for years because landlords and venue owners don't want to take a chance on something new.

    Hi Mike, I PM'd you about 7.55am Friday morning, just wondering whether you received the message? 🤔

    Thanks for all the replies everyone, I'm not sure how many gigs, if any, I will do in the future, but this might be just what I'm looking for.

    I find Bandmix a total waste of time, on the few occasions that I've bit the bullet and bought a month's subscription so that I can message people, I can honestly say that out of over 100+ messages I've sent, I have only had six or seven replies.

    Barefaced Audio Super Twin G3 2x12 Bass Cab + Barefaced Cover I purchased the Barefaced Super Twin cab, along with the Barefaced Super Twin cover two years ago, just before Covid started, and I paid a total of £1,064.00 for them both. My band split up when Covid kicked in, so it’s never been gigged, but I did use it just a couple of times in rehearsal at low volume, so it’s never been pushed at all, and I still have the original box it was shipped in. It’s in fantastic condition, but I have noticed that one of the corner protectors has started to corrode which can be seen in the 4th photo, the other three are fine, so I’m guessing that it wasn’t chromed properly, I’m sure Barefaced would send a replacement if contacted. I’ve not been in a gigging band since 2019 and at the age of seventy, I’m not sure if I will ever gig again, so I have decided to move this on to someone who will give it the use it deserves. You are welcome to try it out at my home in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Collection is preferred, but I would consider shipping if buyer is happy to pay the shipping cost. This could save you a long waiting time. 😉

    Here's a bit of "old-school" R&B/Pub-Rock, (think Dr Feelgood). Recorded on mobile phones, so definitely not hi-fi quality. She Does It Right - Stupidity.mov Stupidity at The George.mov

    Thanks for the info

    I play in a classic rock band (nothing too heavy), in medium sized pubs and clubs with a fairly loud drummer, and I've read that the Fender Rumble 500 V3 is pretty loud without an extension cab. I now need something smaller and lighter, so would one of these do the job? Your thoughts would be very much appreciated. Cheers.

    I asked this question today on the Facebook Precision Bass Lovers group, so I thought I would ask the great BC community as well. Not sure if this has been asked before, but what makes a Precision bass a Precision bass, is it just the shape? The reason I ask is because there are so many different pickup configurations such as a single-coil, a single split-coil, a single split-coil + jazz, humbucker, soapbar, etc, most have a P neck, but some have a J neck, then there are the headstock and pickguard variations, active, passive, and so on. Because of all these variations, they would surely all sound so different, but they are all called a Precision bass, so is it all down to just the body shape?

    I can't believe this has not been sold, you are almost giving it away at that price, I once owned the same model but with a natural finish, the jazz neck was unbelievably good with lovely rolled edges making it a joy to play. I've owned quite a few Fender P's over the years including a few top end models, but for me, none compared to the Lakland P's I've owned. Surely someone will snap this up soon! GLWTS.

    What a great post, and doing the sums, I make you around the same age as me (70), and I'm so glad you still have your very first bass. I used to go to bed reading the Bell's of Surbition catalogue of musical instruments, and I used to drool over the "Beatle" bass, but at 55 gns (£57.75p), it was way out of my price range. Then at the age of seventeen, I borrowed £15 pounds from my sister and bought a second-hand Burns Sonic bass, it wasn't that great, but I loved it because it was my first ever "proper" instrument.

    I was in Coda Music in Stevenage a few year's ago to look at their bass range and I ended up buying not a bass, but a Martin DC28e. I just happened to be looking at the Martin DC28e in the acoustic section upstairs and the salesman asked if I was interested in buying one, I replied that I'm a bass player and can't play guitar that well, but then he said that they are knocking them out for £1099 because they had over-stocked on them, and suddenly I was interested, I knew this model sold for around £2,500 so I got my card out and paid the money. I kept it for a while, but soon realised that this beautiful guitar was far too good for someone like me, so I put it up for sale and doubled my money.

    I bought this exact same bass on a whim, I'm a P Bass man but I thought I needed something different, so I ordered this online and returned it a few days later for a full refund. I would like to point out that the Sterling by Musicman SUB Bass HH is a fantastic bass, especially for the £399 that I paid for it, and as you say, it was set up with a low action, no string buzz, and played beautifully straight out of the box. BUT! I didn't need it, an active bass just doesn't work with the type of music I play, so I came to my senses in time to be able to return in during the cooling off period.

    The cab is intended mainly for home practise, but I will use it for quieter rehearsals on occasions. When I say I don't like playing too loud, I really do mean it, my ears are already shot, our drummer is technically good and doesn't beat the life out of his kit, so I think the ONE10 should be able to keep up with him without pushing it, and if the guitarist says he can't hear me, then I'm not going to budge on my levels, he will have to turn down. 😉
