    Howard the Bass Doc (on here) makes scratchplates - worth getting in touch.

    My second Barefaced Compact's arrival is imminent, so up for sale is my Trace Elliot 1153 cab. Its well used (before I got it) and cosmetically a little rough (tarnished metal corners, the TE logo is missing etc) but plays beautifully. It was very highly rated by Town Bowlus in his 15" cab shoot out (you can read it [url="http://bowlusblog.blogspot.co.uk/2007/08/1x15-shootout.html"]here[/url]). I've been using it with my first Compact (first with an Ampeg PF500 and then a GK MB Fusion) and it sounds lovely - nice and deep and warm, it compliments the more middy Compact brilliantly. According to the previous owner it's got an upgraded 400W driver. It's never had any trouble keeping up with the Compact and if it wasn't for the weight I'd probably keep it and save some money! Having said that it's not a heavy beast by normal 15" standards and is an easy one-person lift, just not Barefaced easy! £100. I'f rather not post, so this is available for collection from Harrogate, or I'd be willing to deliver within a reasonable distance for petrol money. My feedback thread is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/70808-feedback-for-kirky/"]here[/url].

    Si collected my PF500 yesterday, nice chap, you can buy and sell with confidence.

    My second purchase from Lozz, a Norstrand pickup, packed and delivered next day. As everyone says, you can deal with Lozz with absolute confidence.

    Yep, I'm a big fan. I also love Porter's playing with Snooks Eaglin, another New Orleans soul legend. Their version of Lipstick Traces ins one of my favourite Youtube clips.

    I'll take it Lozz. Think I've still got your bank or paypal details, so one you confirm I'm not too late, I'll pay today. Martin

    Did a pedal swap with Gaz, no problems at all, easy transaction.

    Bought a guitar case from Chris, easy transaction and a nice guy.

    On my 14th week now for my new Compact. Unfortunately mine's been caught up in the silver grille cloth supplier issue, but Alex assures me it'll be with me soon. As many others have said, it will be worth the wait.

    Any interest in my Frederic fuzz as p/e for your delay? Plus some cash your way. See http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178294-pedals-for-sale-mxr-frederic-effects-ibanez/

    Secret Agents by The Olympics, the bass in the intro is just awesome. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ8dmbnXwRQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ8dmbnXwRQ[/url]

    I've got a PF500 and never had any problems with it, running 4 or 8 ohms. I also have a GK MB Fusion. They're both great amps, the GK is more "my sound" so I'll probably be moving the PF500 on, but I would be happy to recommend both. If you like the sound of your GK combo, a GK micro amp is going to get close, probably closer than the Ampeg.

    [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1348055291' post='1808535'] Also would consider a Barefaced Midget T (silver grill) in trade + cash Cheers Si [/quote] I didn't think Alex did a Midget T with the silver cloth? I think the way he loads the tweeter makes it difficult to do the cloth.

    GK MB500/Fusion

    Kirky replied to Si600's topic in Amps and Cabs

    [quote name='Si600' timestamp='1348144692' post='1809944'] I'd love to, but North Yorks is a long way from Northampton to try a rig Having said that, we are going to be in Brid sometime, not sure wifey would approve of a diversion [/quote] She'd love an excuse to visit Harrogate's excellent shops, surely!

    I like this thread a lot, but I've just got nothing to say right now. If its still here in a couple of weeks, I might have something to say then.

    GK MB500/Fusion

    Kirky replied to Si600's topic in Amps and Cabs

    If you've ever likely to be up in North Yorkshire you can try my GK MB Fusion and Barefaced Compact. I've also got a Trace Elliot 15" cab which works very nicely with the GK (I'll be selling in a couple of weeks when my Compact No 2 arrives - probably for £100 - pm me if interested). Its Lozz's old MB Fusion I've got and his description of the sound is accurate - they're fantastic amps.

    I don't know whether I like funk or not. I love The Meters, and James Brown. I hate Tower ot Power. Do I like funk?
  22. Kirky
    I might be up for that. We've had a gig rescheduled fom that night so I'm free.
  23. Kirky
    I had a GK700PB 115 combo and it was plenty loud enough. As mentioned above, its heavy and for that reason I moved to a Barefaced Compact and lightweight head (currently a GK MB Fusion). I did manage one gig with the 700RB + the Compact and they worked extremely well together and were way too loud for anything I'd need. Funnily enough I also have a TE 1153 which sounds great coupled with the Compact, but that is making way for another Compact shortly
  24. Kirky
    Exactly what I've already ordered from Alex [u]and[/u] Roqsolid!! Curses! Good luck with the sale.
  25. Kirky
    Yep, I think the sounds is similar. I thinks its all to do with the low and high mid controls. Great amps.
