Does FOH have 'heft'? Because that's where your signal goes... 

Yes. Little known fact that FOH originally stood for Full Of Heft.

So is THRUST the new HEFT? Or just a Danish translation?

Haha, ive owned 2 of their cabs so i know what works for me and what wont. Never found them to be lacking volume as such, just tone. Never felt they lived up to the blurb but you live and learn.  In the past i was looking for a one cab solution, so the criteria was a bit more demanding. Now im just thinking something small and light for rehearsals, and club gigs. It wont be replacing my 1x15, ever, but ive realised im getting lazy and not taking that to rehearsals (due to the amount of stairs id need to carry it up and down), but im not too keen on using 4x12's for rehearsals as i know ill never get that tone form my own gear. Im looking for a lightweight cab that can cover both if im feeling lazy, but not too fussed about it filling  St Paul's Cathedral (even though i know it can lol).

Thats good to know. Might take a punt on the plain black one, as its cheaper than the Rainbow version.

The one cab solution is the BF Compact. Light, powerful and tonally delightful.

Mine point east when full on, I like south west on the bridge pick up and the tone pointing north (from playing point of view). 

Does this apply equally to right and left handed instruments?

Saw Chic and Nile tonight. Very enjoyable, they know how to put on a show. Bass player wasn't bad either lol. Actually, he was top notch.

I was air bass-ing it tonight, sadly enough.

I slap so much better without a bass.

That's a pretty bit of tort, there. And does indeed work well with black and maple. Like discreet said, i think most modern torts don't seem to have that 'thing" going on like yours does.

I don't think so. A headphone output is a hundred milliwatts or so, which is 0.1 watt. The lower impedance of the cab won't help. Also, I assume the headphone out is dual mono and needs a stereo plug. Inserting a mono quarter inch jack, or however big the socket is, is likely to short out one of the channels and could cause probs.

Thanks. Never joined in with the bass banter before but I hope I can make some useful contributions.

I'm glad you are here. More power to your elbow.

One of the owners of Barefaced approached me at a new years eve gig a few years ago, bitched about my existing gear and gave me his business card. Worst marketing ever. 

I know this has nothing to do with the cabs, but i've said it now. 

As you were.

 

 

Curious indeed. I thought there was only one owner, unless things have changed in the past few years.

Very odd marketing indeed.

When I saw the email saying rainbow, I thought of a single cab in rainbow tolex or whatever. Now that would be funky. 

Tug bar? Sounds like some places I've been in Brighton 😎

OK, having considered a no-guard look, I've decided to go completely the other way for a fully-dressed look. White guard, tug bar and 50s pickup cover. Thanks for the comments and opinions.

Looks ace, seriously chic. Me likey much.

The person who mentioned Magnolia should hang their head in shame...

Yep magnolia walls and white skirting board. My mum would love this bass.

Allen key every time. Magnolia ones of course 😊

Thhp!

Agreed. If I'm going to fit a guard it will have screws.

Wondering about mint... It's just that I don't have a mint guard...

Ooh yes mint might work nicely. Photoshop one of your pictures to get an idea of how it might work.

I'm not that keen on it. I like the bass a lot, but if it's to be a keeper it has to be white (or one of the very many shades and/or hues thereof).

Such as Magnolia... 😂😎🎸

Without a guard it's too Mr/Mrs Magnolia. Break it up with black.

I had the ‘gentleman’s procedure’ done a couple of years back. Recently purchased a Trace head. Forward thinking. 

Gentleman's procedure. Love it 😎

Any other colours?

The JHS website will answer that one...

John Hornby Skewes are the importer/trade retailer that deals with Vintage guitars, amongst others.

Looks awesome. I'm loving the new colour schemes, especially with matching headstocks. I've always liked the V4, and have had two already. One of those Firenza Red's is on my radar....

Without looking at the schematics, it could be the bias trim control for the flux capacitor.

Is that a Heft Control?

Love the grain pattern on the upper horn.

When the singer says "mate, can you do something about your tone?", you simply hit the "vocal enhance" switch (DFA1) and say "How's that?". S/he will love it. On the other hand when a guitarist say's you're too loud and s/he can't hear the nuances of their '57PUPs, you hit the "guitar enhance" switch (DFA2). S/he will also love it. I have a few such circuits in stock if anyone would like to buy one, they're lightweight and require no expertise to install, but don't come cheap. 

Ooh I could do with one of each of those please. Do you also have any SFA switches in stock?
