    New Compact and stuff....

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Well today I popped into Brighton to pick up my new Barefaced Compact after work today. Alex showed me around his new workshop/empire, where different cabs were in various stages of production - from bare ply carcasses to finished products. I had the pleasure of hearing a Big Twin T in action, through the Avalon U5 and QSC power amp. A cracking effortless sound indeed.

    He also showed me some new things in the pipeline - there's some very interesting stuff coming up :)

    I find it encouraging that Barefaced seem to be moving forward and increasing their product range. Alex is a focussed and interesting chap and has some great ideas coming up.

    Anyway, looking forward to gigging the dual Compact stack at the weekend...

    Cheers

    Ashdown MAG or ABM head at less than 4 ohms

    We say 4 ohm minimum for a reason.... ;-)

    And there endeth the lesson :) Well, talk about getting advice from the horse's mouth! Any experimental thoughts of combining 8 and 4 ohm cabs with my Ashdown Heads have been dispelled.

    And Mr Ashdown Engineering, I've been using my MAG600 head for a few years and never had a single problem from it - and it never fails to impress. My newly acquired ABM appears to be just as good so far. After a brief foray into the world of Ampeg, I'm sticking with what works for me. And I definitely don't want to turn either into a smoke machine lol.

    Vintage V4 Maple

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Afternoon all...

    I know they have only fairly recently been announced, but has anyone come across one of the new Vintage V4's with the Maple fingerboard? I have a Rosewood V4 and these new ones sound (hopefully!) interesting...

    Cheers

    NOT For Sale: Ampeg Micro VR & PF500 (PF GONE, TAKEN VR OFF SALE)

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by RandomBass

    Right then, Ampeg clear out time I think. In my quest to find the sound I am looking for I have collected a few bits and bobs along the way, but now is the time to liberate some cash for round two lol....

    Micro VR Head (TAKEN OFF SALE FOR THE TIME BEING, SORRY) bought earlier this year from GAK in Brighton. A cracking amp really, and certainly louder than it's rated 200W would suggest. It sounds lovely through my Barefaced Compact and Midget. I've used it for practice and a few gigs. In perfect condition with box, manual and kettle lead. I'm after £160 plus postage.

    PF500 head (NOW SOLD), only a couple of months old. Another cracker from Ampeg - and through my Compact and Midget, a delight to hear. Again - only used for some practice and a few gigs - including 2 outdoor ones without PA support where it was very strong indeed. In perfect condition and comes boxed, with manual and kettle lead.

    I'm away for a week, but will have intermittent access to any messages on here. Basically I won't be in a position to arrange anything until Saturday 3rd September at the earliest I'm afraid. In the meantime I will answer all PM's (assuming I get some lol) as soon as I can. Postage will be agreed with the buyer before sending.

    Hoping to get some pics up tonight but cannot guarantee it (suitcase packing comes first so I have been informed!), but both heads are in perfect condition and look just like the pics on the Ampeg website.

    Also still have my Amber Ibby SR700 for sale if anyone is interested

    Cheers

    SOLD For Sale - Ibanez SR700 Amber + Hard Case [Price Drop]

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by RandomBass

    Well I never would have thought it but up for sale is my immaculate Ibby SR700 with matching Ibby hard case.

    Bought from Bonners in December 2009, I've used it for practice and gigs. Stunning range of sounds, beautiful slim fast neck and perfect balance makes it a joy to play.

    It really is unmarked and had new Elixirs about 3 months ago.

    Yours for £350, or a BF Compact perhaps? NOW SOLD

    Fender Precision MIM

    [quote name='nottswarwick' post='1342302' date='Aug 16 2011, 07:27 PM']OK, so first post edited. I think as Fender MIM goes, this seems to be a nice example. Certainly seems fine to my hands anyway.

    Come and try it out. I am in Nottingham.

    Offers welcomed. £260?????[/quote]

    Couple of questions for you...

    Is it in the same immaculate condition as advertised in the original for sale thread?

    And are you interested in anything in particular trade-wise?

    Cheers

    FS/FT: Ampeg PF115he WITHDRAWN

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted

    Oh blast and double blast. Its a non-T with the metal grill! :)

    I'm really only up for a trade at the moment to be honest, if the right thing comes up (and a PF115 is interesting to me). I also have a Compact and am keeping that for now - unless I am persuaded otherwise lol.

    Anyway, if a swap for my Midget is out of the question, then I really hope you move the PF cab soon. I've had a some contact re the Midget, so may follow one of those up.

    Cheers

    [quote name='[email protected]' post='1330318' date='Aug 6 2011, 08:36 PM']Hi Geoff,

    Nope not daft questions, fully understandable.

    The attachments and casters are all there, I think they may actually come with the head but I've not problem including them.

    Secondly, I'm selling it because it's just not quite the sound I'm after. There's no issues, just issues in my head! It's very good at what it does but I'm very (very) fussy and it's just not the sound I'm after in my head. So, when I'd decided that it didn't have that particular sound I tried to take it back, and now I've ended up here!

    Hope that answers it for you!

    Tom :)[/quote]

    Thanks Tom, totally understand about the 'sound' thing you talk about. As for the fixings - I have a PF500 and none came with it so I assumed that they either came with the cab, or had to be purchased separately. And sorry to hear you got caught out by a returns policy like that.

    Ok, so my next question :) - I see you've mentioned you are after a possible trade for a Barefaced cab: anything in particular in mind? I have a Midget that I am considering liberating to a new home....

    Cheers

    Geoff
