Huge thanks to stewblack for the loan of his Barefaced cabs this week!

I don’t get out much but went to see The Melvins in Bristol last week. Great show and heavy with 2 bassists. Made me want to get out to more gigs!

garyt - great advice thank you. I’m in no real hurry if I’m honest with myself! For now Stew has very kindly offered me a loan for a practice/gig and at least at that point I will know the way forward. Thanks to all that have answered my post. Paddy.

That’s amazingly cool of you and I am only up the road from you in Paulton.

I saw this but don’t know much about them. What ever cab I expected to buy I knew I would have to increase the weight.

Lack of funds currently but I may hang fire for another Barefaced to appear in the classifieds. Its probably more of a want than a necessity at present 🤔

Frank, this could be the solution and was throwing it out there for other suggestions. Paddy.

Lack of ££££ - if I had the funds I would add a 2nd 12’ Barefaced.

Thanks, I had looked at these. Price is right but would the pair give me more presence compared to my Midget. I will struggle and need to be convinced to move the Midget on as it’s been a super cab 😎 - I had a wobble just putting the topic on the forum!

I am thinking of changing my cab which is a Barefaced Midget Gen 3 for something else and looking for recommendations in the £500 range. I have recently joined a rock band and use a Orange Terror 500, Fender Flea Jazz and no current effects. I originally bought the Midget when playing upright in a folk rock band. I love the weight of the Midget but it just doesn’t seem to have the oomph when playing in my current line up which is considerably louder than my previous band. I would preferrably like something relatively lightweight. I don’t have the cash to add a second cab and will need to sale the Midget to buy the next cab. Suggestions greatly received. Paddy.

I would ask what gigs they wanted me to take part in over the next 6 months including fees and then make my mind up from this.

Thanks

Thanks, Ive mailed Guy.

Nothing from https://www.basschat.co.uk/profile/11294-ashdown-engineering/ Has any one else got any advice or is the amp destined for the skip ☹️

Thanks, just messaged them.

Dear Basschatters, I have a used Ashdown Toneman 600 that has been sat around not being used for about 1 year. Plugged it in yesterday and no sound, it was running fine last time I used. The amp lights up and and fans working but the VU needle is not moving unless I put the compression on then the needle moves to about midpoint and just stays there. I know all my cables are fine as I ran them through my Terror. I have had the amp out of its housing and no fuses are blown including the ones in front panel and nothing else obvious. Any ideas for a fix before I give up on this amp? Paddy

Mine could actually talk to me/smile at me and make me feel more welcome. I’ve had 2 negative experiences and I won’t give them the chance for a third.

Recieved Barefaced email today showing new ranged of colourful ONE 10 I think these look stunning and want one now! DON'T BE DULL, GET COLOURFUL

I used a TB500 and Super Midget Gen 3 for my first gig last night - alternative rock band, bass, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, loud drummer, vocals. My set up appeared to have room to spare and complements where made by the bassist from the band we sharing the bill with.

Just bought a pedal off Timo - smooth transaction, great comms and item as described.

Ive had good success with Gumtree.
