Just taken delivery of my second Barefaced BB2 so this has to go to make room for it. Lovely light cab (18kg) but superb tone and definition right through the range. This is a Series 1 which I acquired from Fernandobicho on here about 18 months ago. It is said that the Series 1 cabs are superior in sound to the later 2 and 3 series and they are certainly lighter. I believe the speakers are B & C who supply Markbass. Produces a massive sound for it's size. Jack and speakon sockets, inset carrying handles, adjustable tweeter. The cab produces quite a hi fi sound which doesn't colour your bass, what you get out of this is what your bass is putting out. Solid lows, clean highs, no distortion. Cab has been gigged regularly but travelled on the back seat of the car rather than chucked in the back of a van! Some minor blemishes but nothing that would show up in a photo and the carpet covering is in good nick with no tears or abrasions. I have the packaging it arrived in (which is actually a Markbass box!) so I can post at cost but you're welcome to collect, or call in for a brew and a noodle if you're in the area. Pics below, any questions just fire away. [sup][attachment=165156:IMG_0101.JPG][attachment=165157:IMG_0102.JPG][attachment=165158:IMG_0103.JPG][/sup]

Selling my RH 450, which has been my back up amp, as I recently acquired a Tecamp Puma 500 which is more appropriate as a back up for my Puma 1000. Acquired used on here about six months ago and has only been used once to test it out. It's versatile and loud, details from Thomann website here [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_rh_450.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...onic_rh_450.htm[/url] Also coming up is an Epifani UL 210 Series 1 but got to wait for my new delivery from Barefaced, hopefully this week :-) Will put pics up in a bit. Any q's fire away.

Many thanks for the info guys! Food for thought :-)

Thanks for that MOSCOWBASS. Forgive my ignorance but what's the difference between a Shuttle 9.0 and a Shuttlemax 9.2? There's a Shuttle 9 for trade on here for a RH450, which I happen to have and can't get on with?

Sorry to thread jack this. Can I just ask those using the Roland if it's loud enough for what I call an "acoustic" rehearsal? We rehearse in a house usually using practice guitar amps, an electronic drum kit and just natural vox. I'm using a Fender Rumble 60 at the moment but it's a bit overkill, I don't use it for anything else and could do with downsizing the size of gear I have in the front room and making the lugging about easier? From time to time I've been invited to busk with some people I'd have liked to work with as well but not had the gear to do it - is it ok on batteries outside?

I have a 2nd generation BB2 paired with a Tecamp Puma 1000, complete rig bought on here. Sounds awesome. However I do find that up close on stage I find it quite hard to hear (in a covers band with 2 valve amp guitarists) and that's when I've got the master volume dialled at about 2 o'clock, so pushing on a bit. Out front apparently it sounds fine. In terms of both top and bottom it has plenty for me with good definition, but I'm adding a second one to improve the onstage sound in loud gigs and not having to drive the head so hard. Alex reckons the new ones are louder and may enable me to dispose of the Gen 2. We'll see. Can I also piggyback on your contributions Toby, I see you have a Streamliner 600? I have a TC RH450 I just can't get on with, probably not got enough personal IQ to get my head round the Spectracomp, was thinking of swapping to a GB, what's the difference between the Shuttles and the Streamliners? Shuttles more solid state? 9s too much power, 6s probably enough? Anybody near me happy for me to try one, you can try my BB2(s)? Quite a lot of contributors in this thread mention heavy bass for STMs but they seem well suited to the Barefaced cabs and in particular the BB2? Any comments/suggestions anybody?

I put my Geddy Lee up for sale because I couldn't get the sound I wanted out of it.......then I got the sound and sort of wondered about it..........but then I got an offer at the asking price and I had to honour it.......BUGGER! One day I will probably get another Jazz. Does this happen to everyone or is it just me?

Forgive my ignorance. A friend has asked for advice about buying the following bass: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Japan-AJB-M-GMB-Gun-Metal-Blue-Jazz-Bass-Electric-Bass-NEW-F-S-from-Japan/161140873853?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D286%26meid%3D4410070944684438839%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D161140873838%26"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Japan-AJB-M-GMB-Gun-Metal-Blue-Jazz-Bass-Electric-Bass-NEW-F-S-from-Japan/161140873853?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D286%26meid%3D4410070944684438839%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D161140873838%26[/url] Now, I didn't even know that brand new Fenders were being made in Japan. And this looks like a different body shape to what I recognise as the classic Fender style, i.e. it has 90 degree angles to the edge of the body and a flat front (like a Ric), as opposed to contoured. So are these produced under licence for Fender, are are they a proliferation of copies that Fender is powerless to challenge because they let it go on for decades? Who produces them, has anybody played this model, and where does he stand in terms of warranty etc? Sorry if the answers are obvious, they're not obvious to me

Reluctantly going up for sale is my black 2007 CIJ Geddy Lee Jazz, acquired on here from Giofio about a year ago. It came with upgraded Fender Custom Shop pups, but I found it a bit growly for my liking and had them replaced by Ged Green, well known North West luthier, with a special winding from Wizard, midway between the 64s and 84s, sometimes referred to as 74s. He also set it up for me. The original pups are included in the sale. Also fitted with Badass II bridge. It is currently fitted with a white pickguard but a black one is included in the sale. Also fitted with straplocks. Lovely fast neck with proper black inlays, not painted on like later ones, and nice black binding to the maple neck. Looks really nice, a few hairline surface scratches and one ding to the top of the body as you look down on it round your neck, but nicely touched in (I've tried to take a pic). Selling as I have an urge for an active bass; I said I wouldn't have more than three basses so it's this one which has to make way. Doesn't come with a case but I could ship in a hard case which is a bit time worn but would do the job. It's what it came to me in from Scotland safe enough :-) I've lost the lead from my camera to upload pics so I've used my phone, so I apologise if they're not great. When I find my lead I'll take some better ones. Price includes delivery to mainland UK but if you collect we can negotiate a reduction. Sorry but don't want to post overseas. Any q's fire away.

Last bump before it goes on Fee Bay.....if you've been dithering, do it now........would deliver/meet up within reason.........might consider a trade for an Ibanez SR600 or above with cash adjustment either way depending on what it is...........or a class 1 x 12.........try me, the worst that can happen is I say no thanks, and neither of us need take offence!
