Black Coffee

I've never play berg but I own a supertwin and a 2x10 from barefaced. These are both 4ohms and are a real one cab solution to a bulk and weight problem. The 2x10 is resident in a place I play every Sunday and the supertwin goes everywhere else with me yet can be soft enough to play in the living room without annoying the neighbours.

Recent transaction was smooth and hassle free. Basschat marketplace at its best. Do business with confidence with bassninja. Thanks.

This markbass barefaced is common .......

Got the new amp and cab a wee run out tonight. Cant believe how easy it is too be very loud and very clear without cranking the dial very far. Really impressed with this. I was concerned that I shud have stretched to the 800 watt markbass amp but theres more than enough from this. Id reccommend it

New supertwin barefaced and Little mark 1xcab solution for a space based problem. Safe to say i was grinning when test driving this after being encouraged to play it loud when its new to loosen everything up.

[/quote] On trying that 4ohm 2x10 monster of yours i wanted to go 4ohm to keep it to a one cab purchase as i know myself too well and another 8ohm cab to get the max from the amp would have been too much of a temptation. Went for supertwin.

Pulled the trigger with a barefaced cab. Lets see how it goes. Thanks for the posts and opinions.

Just read Kevs thread. Some questions answered to a degree about vanderkly, bergantino, and barefaced. I just need to pull a trigger and go with one. And im not even a little bit jealous of the darkglass amp neither ;-)

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1478558288' post='3169963'] Barefaced aren't [i]that[/i] new - I bought my first one in 2008! Barefaced cabs aren't all the same sound either, there are two distinct ranges which sound very different, but even the 12" equipped cabs don't all sound the same. Alex is excellent at advising you on what cab would be most likely to suit your needs. Have a read on the Barefeced website for loads of information. http://barefacedbass.com/ I would guess both brands would do the job they're designed to do very well. Have a look at basschatter Kev's recent thread. I have no experience of Vanderkley so can't offer any insight, but I'm sure they're very good cabs. Frank. [/quote] Many thanks for this. Its the first time ive considered spending more than the cheapest option on a cab and my own understanding of tech lets me down. Ive been emailing alex over last week or so and spoken to someone else at barefaced by phone. All really helpful, just considering a different option to compare. Theres so many id get totally bogged down if i spread the net too wide. Cheers again

Thanks for the replies. I've managed to have a play on a barefaced cab loaned to me by a very kind local basschatter and safe to say I'm exceptionally impressed that so much volume comes from such a small box. So barefaced is loud, clear and doing it without having to turn the volume dial very far round. I think the 12" speaker may be the road to go down. As for wondering on why I asked about Vanderkly and barefaced ? Barefaced are new kid on block with apparently a reputation for doing very well at being loud and small. Vanderkly are like the Rolls Royce and if I was buying one cab I was simply wondering what was best at covering most bases; the new kid or the expensive luxury one. I play bluegrass music in a group but I also like to play metal, thrash, and - well whatever I happen to be listening to for fun. im not great at describing in words what a sound actually sounds like but I know what I like when I hear it, and I heard it from a barefaced can tonight. I'm maybe just fishing for a reason why a person wouldn't buy either of these, as I've read very little negative about either of them. Cheers

Ive a markbass little mark III 500w@4ohms Barefaced or vandeekley cabs are the options Which is the better buy ?

Thats a gorgeous finish and colour. Health to enjoy.

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1477382767' post='3161784'] NBD x2 ??? That's just not fair! How did you manage 2 NBD's in one? Nice. Two lovely looking basses there [/quote] Ive made a commitment that im gonna stick to these as ive tried a stack of others (worth a clean fortune) and im content that what i need for my particular choice off music is in these two cases. My eldest son will be a co-owner of one of them while studying for his music degree. Ive one more NBD incoming shortly and thatll be it. Ever. Done.

Today is a day that is likely not to happen again. I took delivery of two gorgeous Fender USA standard five string basses. One precision and one jazz in matching Olympic white and tort pick guard. Treated myself to a set of twins. Safe to say I'm feeling kinda pleased as they are the mutts nutts; they sound sooooo good and are a total delight to play. I should never have sold my '94 USA P bass and I'm glad to be back to a USA model. Pics below
