My mental image was of some old 70s cab... then I realised that “almost 20 years old” could be from this millennium. 😶

Well written manual, is it aiming for a us made thing of a similar idea to a Lehle bassswitch?

You are in the north east aren’t you... as is that gumtree seller

Erm ... I’ll do that before building my channel strip type DI ... but given lack of DAW or plugins... is it something you’ve tried?

off topic a bit but ever used anything with an API 312 or similar? One of the best tones I've had was with my old Warwick Helborg preamp with the EQ turned off - "based on an Neve" they say- it's not at all, I've got the schematics but sounded nice. A DIY clone of a 312 would be within my DIY capabilities and on my "would like to try" list for a number of years now

I’m actually pretty tempted - the only thing that’s stopping me is that there are already several walkabout combos up for sale that don’t seem to be selling 😬

These look good if anyone near is interested- if I were closer I would think about buying and selling one on... https://www.gumtree.com/p/speakers-monitors/rcf-hd32a-active-pa-speakers-pair-inc-covers-better-than-art-712a-etc-/1325504973

Yeah. Been a while since I’ve been on a thread on here with a bit of a troll - reminded me hoe much I don’t like it. also - please for the love of all things good lets not have every thread knocking Barefaced. It gets boring. I find it depressing that as a bass playing community we will happily shell out lots to import various high end gear from the states - but for someone who’s home grown, who we’ve seen growing up so to speak and maybe know some of their flaws, we constantly keep knocking. Sure specific criticism like stevie was questioning the level of flat response etc, but less of the general negativity..... please

That’s annoying

The Fender precision bass wasn’t even the best precision type design Leo came up with - he perfected it with the L1000

When my Mesa Walkabout went pop Mesa sent me to David Gaffrey (01924 267142) Based in Ossett. Not really anyone to compare too but he did a good job and seemed to know his stuff. You could also ask on the west yorkshire music sales and service facebook group for recommendations.

Hence the headstock shape - evolution and survival of the fittest and all that

We need one of your videos

(The original stuff, these will have been built in a city of millions in China that I’ve never heard of and probably was a farm 50 years ago )

All cos I mused on them being built in Airedale...

If the barefaced fd800 is their take on a FRFR PA speaker... but with a low driver optimised for bass guitar - would the QSC or RCF offer much of an upgrade to be worth the switch? Edit: esp if we rule out the 15” RCF with the fancy hf driver

I read this really interesting article a year or so ago that was talking about Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush and how more individual singing styles if you are a man, and you can be a musical genius with one (Eg Dylan) but with women with individual singing styles they will always be written about a quirky, odd etc

Airedale then surely?

This : drill the holes first then the rectangle

Is wood bit with the two on it the neck blank? If so what is it? It looks amazing.

It’s that thing where we think the more expensive thing is better. Even when it’s probably just different

These cabs were discussed on here 9 years ago too...

Hmmm so different amp, two of them or I resist this rig changing GAS...
