Yep, a meet and trial would solve this but geography and the Irish Sea have put a dampener on that.
It's a familiar situation for us over here.
I had a look at the barefaced site, first I've really taken time to do it. It's impressive but I am a genz fan and it's light and loud too and I like the streamliner simplicity and tone. Just might need the 900 instead of the 600 and at the price they are it's tempting to just have the extra on tap in case it's needed, but a cab is first on the list.
Cheers
