    I’ve been using a cioks DC5 for the last couple of years and never had a problem. I originally got it to isolate a couple of digital pedals which it did perfectly. Fits under a pedal train too which is a very handy.

    You may want to think about lining the inside of it with some copper tape or similar. if you struggle to get any of the bits a good place to get components is bitsbox usually pretty decent prices and usually have everything you need. looks like it should be fun to build, but be warned it is addictive!

    i agree with Fretmeister it totally depends on the situation. Americana backing band i play in: no pedals. Bass to amp Stoner, Doom Band i play in: Fuzz pedal always on, VT bass always on (so i dont have to push the amp to break up to get the sound i want)

    Seeing as I took a picture for another thread I thought I’d post it here. Signal is 1. pitchblack mini (want to replace as the patch cable pops out when I press it with my foot although I might see if it’s just the jack that needs bending) may change to a polytune 2. Wilson Freaker wah mini 3. homemade fuzz (Russian big muff with blend knob) 4. VT Bass I am contemplating whether to get a thumpinator. Do I actually need one? I hear lot of praise for them but is it snake oil? What would be the benefit for me? I play doom/stoner so it’s drop C if that would make a difference.

    As far as I know the peeling Tolex was an issue on older cabs but new ones havent had this issue. i have a two10 and used to have a six10. Neither had tolex peel on them. I may be wrong but I seem to remember them being made aware of the issue and fixing the issues our best bet if your worries is to email Alex at barefaced

    Yep when I used to have my abm. I had it serviced by them, they found the vu meter not to be working accurately so changed it free of charge. Excellent customer service and never felt a pain asking questions

    Yeah i had one a few years ago too and missed it so i ended having to get one when i saw that they did the mini one. I only got it a few weeks ago. It's great and i don't miss having it in a bigger enclosure.

    I’d probably go for Something similar to my set up now Tuner thumpinator- thinking of getting one anyway wah - Wilson freaker fuzz - Cog grand Tarkin (Want one but I have a homemade muff with blend knob instead, it does the job) overdrive - I use a vt bass for this so prob keep it. power supply cioks dc5 so something like this:

    Yes Please Black or old fender colours (sea foam green, sonic blue, shell pink etc.) maple necks, Passive electronics, Strap locks, No Thanks Gold Hardware, natural finishes, Red basses (i have one but still don't like it), Complicated electronics, inlays that are artistic!, skinny strings. 5+ strings What i do like about this thread is the fact that everyone has varying views. nice to see that everyone is different

    I've only recently sold me Barefaced Six10. I also have a Barefaced two10. A few reasons why i sold it. The first was that i needed the money (new house buying) and i just couldn't justify keeping it. Usually at a gig there either isn't enough space, it doesn't warrant it, it won't fit in the singers car, (if he drives us), there's a set of narrow stairs or i just plain can't be bothered with it. I've been mostly using the two10 since i bought it and a haven't missed the big cab. Maybe it doesnt quite have the heft and it's smaller so without putting it on something its further away from the ear. but the benefits of ease of carrying, fitting in a car etc have made it easy to transition to it. Do i need the volume from more speakers? No i havent ever felt i needed more and at gigs when it would be needed it's been put through the PA.

    Reluctantly putting up for sale my Barefaced Six10. Looking at buying a house this coming year and need the money (also will need the space) I'm sure everyone knows what these are all about and the wording on the Barefaced website is better than anything i could write: https://barefacedaudio.com/products/six_10?variant=13875021119546 I've had this since the start of the year (arrived 30.01.19) and to be honest haven't used it as much as i wanted to. (band hasn't been giggin enough!) It sounds amazing and come with barefaced protective cover. Could be tempted with a swap for a barefaced two10 with some money my way! Collection only as i don't fancy putting this through the post Will put more details pictures up if needed! Cost £1359 new with cover so i think £900 is a fair price for one in this condition.

    I sometimes find it difficult to pick up the bass. My preferred option is to buy something new. nothing gets me wanting to play more than having a new bass, amp or even effect. although that can be costly so sometimes it's just a case of waiting until the mood strikes to pick it up again. i find forcing myself to play tends to leave me more deflated and less likely to enjoy it. An enjoyable gig or a moment of inspiration usually reminds me why i love the bass so much

    Geezer Butler. I listened to a lot of Sabbath in my teens (still do) and when i finally got around to learning the bass (at about 16) the first thing i tried to learn to play were the first four Black Sabbath albums in there entirety. Even today alot of my bass lines and especially fills come from a "what would geezer do" subconcious thought process.
  15. Wilson_51_
    Yes i've done this. Bought a rickenbacker clone with the correct scale length of 33.25 inches. I played it for a few months as my main bass, swapped it out for my precision and the precision felt wierd. took a little adjustment but used to playing boh now.

    I used to have a dedicated bag but now have managed to cram it into my bass bag. I take: spare microhead spare kettle lead + speakon + intstrument lead + patch cable Tuner plasters super glue tape paracetamol gaviscon Multitool leatherman multiheaded screwdriver (has allen key, phillips, flat, etc) amp fuses I think thats about it i try and take a spare bass if i have room

    I bought the Gear4Music one as there £50 new and i just wanted to see if it was manageable. its quite handy to be fair.
  18. Wilson_51_
    That’s true. To be honest if I was goi g down the route of getting his sound id just try and get what he was using. I think the idea of a pedal that can give a good approximation of a few different players would be handy. Although if you were to use it in a cover band it would be handy to have presets to scroll through
  19. Wilson_51_
    I doubt that will be the street price and if it is, it may struggle to sell. I do like the idea of it and the other players sounds it has makes it seem more intriguing. Probably want it for the Geezer element but then again i don't think i would use it.

    lovely looking Cab amd Rig! I;m sure you'll have many hours of fun with it! Looks sharp in the painted finish
  21. Wilson_51_
    to be honest if you want the vt bass I wouldn't worry about the DI capabilities and just keep an eye out for a normal VT Bass.
  22. Wilson_51_
    By what tones your describing you want. Sounds to me as if your looking for something that replicates a tube sound. So i would agree with Dannybouy and say VT Bass wuld be a good shout.
  23. Wilson_51_
    I saw them in London on Friday night. Stood back near the sound desk and the sound was balanced and the playing was great. Al was an absolute beast
  24. Wilson_51_
    It’s 23 inches (58.5cm) X 14 inches (35.5cm) approximately
