Graham took delivery of one of my Barefaced Compacts last week. The whole deal was arranged via PM, so we didn't get to chat on this occasion, but he came across as a very nice fellow! The communication was excellent throughout, whilst the arrangements for payment happened exactly when he said they would- great stuff! Hope you enjoy it mate...

***SOLD PENDING PAYMENT*** Hi everyone, This is the second of two Compacts that I've owned up for sale- the first one was sold recently to George (AKA Fellrunner). I did plan to keep this one originally, but after acquiring some long-lusted-after Bergantino gear on here recently, I'm now looking to move this on too. The cab is in very good condition, is in full working order, and sounds fantastic. This was apparently the third Compact that Alex Claber ever built (according to the previous owner), and has an extra-thick paint finish compared to other early models, which should last for years, particularly with the Roqsolid cover to protect it! The cover itself is in very good condition with no rips or tears, and is a great fit on the cab. Being an early model, it's a bit heavier than the current version, but still an easy one-hand lift- I'd say it weighs about 14KG. As you can see in the photos, the cab doesn't have any corner protectors currently fitted, but I think it looks better without them! I traded in the original black plastic corners with another Basschatter for his full set of metal corners and screws, as used in the current Barefaced range- these will be included in the sale, but not fitted (I'll leave that to the discretion of the new owner!). Also included will be the logo badge, which I carefully removed when I first acquired the cab. The early-spec Compacts didn't come with any rubber feet fitted , so I have installed a good-quality set (much better than the ones Barefaced now use IMO!) on both the base and the side of the cab opposite the handle. Also, the original rubber handle sleeve had worn out, so I've very recently replaced it with a brand-new one... I'm looking for [size=5][b]£380 [/b][/size]for this, including UK shipping and careful packing. I will accept [size=5][b]£360[/b][size=4] if the buyer collects from my flat in Liverpool city centre.[/size][/size] No offers please! Please PM me if interested... thanks for looking!

Oli bought a pair of KT88 valves from me recently. My second deal with him- just as easy as the first one!
-
Thankyou Mark! I've been playing through them pretty much all day, and can see why they're so sought after- they sound amazing!

I bought a Bergantino EX112ER from Mark a few weeks ago. The deal went so well, that I ended up buying another one from him! As others have said, a total pleasure to deal with- I would not hesitate to buy from him again. Great comms, sturdy packaging plus rapid & good-value shipping. Oh, and the gear's pretty good too... Thanks mate! Etienne

[quote name='Fellrunner' timestamp='1350152707' post='1835283'] Sorry, they must have been removed as per forum rules following the sale.[/quote] Indeed... sorry to drop you in it George! I had to take the pics down to make some room and restore my upload allowance... I can personally vouch that the older cab is a great bit of kit (having owned it from new until very recently when I sold it to George)- good luck with the sale! -

George just called in at my flat a short while ago to collect my Barefaced Compact- like Pete says above, a smashing chap to deal with! Hope you enjoy the cab mate, thanks for an easy deal! Etienne

Barefaced Compact (early spec) + Roqsolid cover: ***SOLD***
Etienne replied to Etienne's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi Paul, hope you're well! I don't have any scales to hand, but I'm reliably informed that this cab is around 14KGs, give or take (the current version is 12KGs). Like I said, it's still stupidly light- I still get kicks out of watching bandmates picking it up and nearly hitting themselves in the face with it, ha ha! -
[b]***NOW SOLD***[/b] Hi everyone, I have two of these fine cabs, which seems a bit greedy really, so I'm putting this one up for sale... I bought this brand-new from Alex Claber back in 2009, when Barefaced Bass was still a one-man business- it has done countless gigs with me since, and has never once let me down, nor failed to sound great! As it's an early-spec hand-built model, it's a bit heavier than the current CNC design (but still stupidly light though), has black plastic corner protectors (rather than chrome metal corners) and didn't originally come fitted with any rubber feet either. I have since added a set of chunky heavy-duty feet on the side opposite the handle, which do a fine job, epecially when transporting it with the cover on. I also have a spare matching plastic corner that I had lying around, which I'll throw in... The cover itself is made by Roqsolid, and is in used but good condition- it's done a great job of protecting the cab's finish over the years, and is a nice snug fit too. As you can see from the photos, I have removed the badge, as my preference was to stack my two Compacts sideways, and I thought it looked more 'stealth' that way! Don't worry though, I still have the badge in a safe place, and will include it in the sale. I'd say the cab itself is 8.5/10 cosmetically- I've always been pretty careful when transporting it, but over time the odd minor ding here and there is inevitable. However, the finish means that you can easily touch up any scrapes and make it look good as new- to be honest, I'm very impressed with how durable the painted finish has been since I've owned it! Needless to say, it works perfectly, and sounds fantastic (I miked it up with my Walkabout head and used it to record my band's forthcoming single only a few weeks ago). It's a regular gigger's dream, and I'm hoping that whoever buys this will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have! I'm looking for [size=5][b]£370 [/b][/size]for this, including UK shipping and careful packing. I will accept [size=5][b]£350[/b][size=4] if the buyer collects it from my flat in Liverpool city centre.[/size][/size] No offers please! PM me if interested... thanks for looking!

I just collected Jon's mint Bergantino HS410 earlier this afternoon. Had a great chat with him, aided by probably the best cup of tea in the Midlands (special thanks to his mum for that! ) - an absolute gent and a pleasure to deal with. Best wishes for your future in Oz mate... Cheers, Etienne

Jake just took delivery of my Jazz Bass scratchplate today- another smooth deal with a fellow Basschatter completed! Thanks mate...

Just remembered that I had this knocking about in my spares box! It came with an 80's Fender Jazz body that I bought a couple of years ago (now part of my main bass)- I wanted a brown tort guard instead, so I had Howard (The Bass Doc) make me a replacement for this one... it's in used but good condition, and is fitted with adhesive copper shielding around the pickup rout on the reverse. It has 11 mounting holes, plus two each for the pickup cover and thumbrest. I'm after £18 for this, including UK postage. **SOLD PENDING PAYMENT*** Thanks for looking!

Richard bought my Gig Skinz bag a few days ago, and took delivery of it earlier today. Good comms, and a prompt payer too- thanks mate!
