[quote name='3below' timestamp='1333050883' post='1596819'] Bump, this is a super cab, it was mine before for abot 3 yrs. Loud, clear and great tone with any amp I used. It is the best bass cab I have ever owned, only reason I swapped was I like the power of the Barefaced Dubster and am also building a fEARful 15/6. Lee is a great chap to deal with, so treat yourself to an ultimate bass cab. [/quote] Thanks for the kind words mate, yiup truly a great cab this...i just know soon as its gone i'll kick myself! [quote name='fly1nl0tus' timestamp='1333051391' post='1596832'] Hi, how much you looking for it? I have a SWR LA15 which I can include as a part exchange if you like. I brought it, then instantly realised it wasn't powerfull enough for me. Therefore its been used twice. Great condition etc. [/quote] Hi, thanks for the offer but i too need a more powerful combo - cash wise i guess i would be looking for about £500 ?

Best Beatles song to play in a pub band?
Raslee replied to The Dark Lord's topic in General Discussion
We do Twist & Shout...crowds always go crazy to it -
I've recently got this cab after trading my other Barefaced cab and it is superb in every way as you would expect from Barefaced - incredibly powerful and a ridiculously light carry (has wheels too) and amazing clarity of sound. The Big one can be couriered also at buyers expence. Cab F/S £500 Pictures available on request. Just found this review of the Big One [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/59276-barefaced-big-one/"]http://basschat.co.u...efaced-big-one/[/url] Here's what Barefaced said: [b]Massive bottom end, mid range punch, treble clarity and, for their weight, the loudest deepest bass cabs you can buy...[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Is that another fifteen? Why yes it is, a very very special [b]one[/b]. And what's that other speaker in there? It's six and a half inches of punch, clarity, growl and sweetness.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b]But it's just a [b]big[/b] speaker and a little speaker, all in[b]one[/b] box. I've seen cabs like that from other makers.[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The magic is inside the box - a full 2-way crossover, akin to that found in the very best studio monitors, which splits the sound between the two speakers, so each speaker can concentrate on doing what it does best. No other crossover found in a bass guitar cab has this complex topology, with very steep slopes so it is all but impossible to overpower the midrange driver, so that you get no interference between drivers either side of the crossover point, and so that you get the most accurate and realistic sound whether you're the bassist, a bandmate or a fan.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b][b]Big[/b] [b]One[/b] - our flagship model[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The massive port may give away that there is something different about this classic looking cab. So what is going on behind that silver cloth grill? Well it's a very very special fifteen plus a tiny giant of a six and a half inch midrange driver.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b]Prepare for a tone, bottom and output revelation[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Featuring a extremely high excursion neo woofers in an oversized ported enclosures gives the [b]Big[/b] [b]One[/b] the ability to move more air and give you a fatter high SPL bass sound than most cabs twice their size (and how many more times its weight?!)[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Because this woofers is so good at going low it is not good at going high - the rest of your sound comes from an extremely high output 6.5" midrange speaker which gives you more tone and volume than you can believe possible from such a small speaker - it can cut through even the densest rock mix. Not only that but because this speaker is small it disperses your midrange much better than if it were coming from a larger woofer.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Stand anywhere in the room and you will hear almost exactly the same tone - no other bass cab can achieve this![/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Why isn't everyone else making cabs like this?[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]However, it can play louder than many need so for those that don't need such output we offer the [b]Big[/b] Baby. And for those that don't need the incredible clarity and off-axis response of a true 2-way cab with an amazing midrange driver, or the huge deep bass of our unique '[b]Big[/b]Series' woofers we offer the Compact, the Vintage and the Midgets.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b]DIMENSIONS[/b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] 29.5" high x 21" wide x 16" deep WEIGHT 41 lbs SENSITIVITY Similar to a quality 2x12" FREQUENCY RESPONSE Unusually flat response from the deep thick lows to the clear highs RECOMMENDED AMP POWER 200-1000W RMS MAXIMUM OUTPUT Similar to a high quality 6x10" or 2x15" NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms[/font][/color]

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1331906873' post='1580755'] Hi I'd like a low b five string, I will probably have to buy used to get best value. I have a jazz bass and a sting ray clone coupled with relaively short fingers and arms so don't want something with a massively wide board or with a hugely long neck. I don't gig and very occasionally play with others. It's got to be fairly flexible in sonic terms. Pretty wood is always nice as a bonus. Id prefer quality over flash. I've tried looking in the market place but it's like a sweet shop. I have at most £275. What can people recommend based on their own experience? [/quote] I'm potentially in the same situation, about £250-£300...seriously considering a VMJ Squier - any reviews???

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1331549062' post='1574400'] Even though we are a Soul/Funk band we have started to play Ska songs for some daft reason. We played a couple of Mod meet type gigs last year and a couple of Ska songs were requested. Since then we have put 5 or 6 Ska songs in the set. I like Ska and I enjoy playing it, but a lot of folks do get confused when we whip those songs out because they expect us to play Soul and Funk. It's starting to bug me quite a lot and my reservations fall on deaf ears. [/quote] Haha i can relate to this, i've been playing in reggae/ska bands and reggae covers bands for the last 5-6years. So for a change just after xmas i thought i would join a soul/funk band that were seeking a bassist and my usual reggae keyboardist joined the soul band also...The rest of the band got wind of our reggae history and promptly put Monkey man (Specials version), No No no (Dawn Penn) & now want to do a Marley tune... further more they're mixing this with more mowtown/R&B tunes like Zoot suit Riot and Etta James/Shirley Bassey etc....and now they want to do an Adelle track.....I'm a soul man

[quote name='jonno1981' timestamp='1330982973' post='1565913'] Ha. I bet it is my old one. I've just found a white scratchplate for a DJ5 which I never thought to include when I sold it on before. If your buyer wants it just let me know and I can send it out. [/quote] Nice one mate, I'll ask the new buyer. SOLD FOLKS

[quote name='jonno1981' timestamp='1330867389' post='1563972'] I don't suppose you originally bought this second hand from someone in Reading did you? I just wonder if this used to belong to me! I had a DJ5 I sold with a hiscox case and I swapped the pickguard to a tort one. [/quote] Haha it could well be. I got it from Si last year.

Hi, selling a few bits at the mo. This is my back up rig that, well to be honest, it never gets used. I bought it second hand for a lot more some time back and its been sitting in my living room ever since. Only used it once or twice as i mainly plug into my desktop computer for a 'living room jam'. It sounds nice and has some quality features, namely an octave sub harmonic feature...quite handy. Loud too!!! Oh and it it is a UK built model...apparently better than the later middle eastern models however i've never seen the newer models to compare. Its heavy so i guess were looking at collection from Plymouth Devon however if you want to arrange your own courier then i'll see if the Mrs is willing to use her packing magic. Can meet at Exeter for petrol monies. Bit of blurb here about them: [url="http://www.zzounds.com/item--ASDMAGC410T"]http://www.zzounds.c...em--ASDMAGC410T[/url]

Another victim of my current financial hardship due to motor needs. I need to sell/trade down this beast in order to fund a car plus my musical direction has recently changed somewhat and i'm doing a lot of funk/soul rather than the reggae that i'm known for so this cabs not getting used as much as i would like....it needs to be used. My Dubster, 2x15 custom speakers, has done only a few gigs since its purchase late last year, mainly reggae/ska and it has performed awesomely, lightweight but heavy punch, lots of great comments from engineers about the sound and lots of surprised faces when they find they can lift it with one hand. I've also used it with my soul band and got a good nice warm PHAT sound. Check the spec here [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/dubster.htm"]http://barefacedbass...nge/dubster.htm[/url] A great cab for the low end but with articulate mids too. Ideal for reggae, dance music, drum & bass, dubstep, death metal grind or whatever its called or even some deep down dirty lowend jazz funk rock...basically anything that needs to shake some serious foundations and no treble. Its got a few gig scratches here and there but nothing tragic or problematic, just typical gig use. Superb cab for the money. Anyhow i paid £750 for it, i'm looking for £550 + P&P/Courier etc... i've owned this cab from new since summer 2011 - i know i'll miss this one too. [b]I may take a part trade for a cheap lightweight bass head and/or lightweight cab 2x10/ ideally a 2x12 cab...markbass, Genz benz etc[/b] Poss trade for car also (under 1K, cheap and cheerful diesel) ?

It really agonises me to do this but needs must I need a car plus i'm not using the 5 string a lot at the moment and it feels criminal to have this beauty sitting in its case when it needs to be played. It will probably be the best bass i have ever owned as it phenomenal in every way but then i guess a lot of you already know how good these DJ5's are. I know i will regret parting with this one. Soooo.... we have my Lakland Daryl Jones skyline 5 string, 2006, Aero picks ups (amazing!), strap locks and padded strap, Hiscox case, Black Sparkle (A bit like a metallic black-very pretty), 35 inch scale for that legendary tight Lakland B string, Hipshot tuners. Low action and plays like sex (Sorry thats the only think i could think of ) It has a few typical gigging dinks here and there, this bass has been used and is a real work horse let alone probably one of the best passive 5 string jazz basses out there in my opinion. So if your after a pristine show piece then look elsewhere but there is nothing that affects playability, just typical gigging dinks that were on it when i received it from another basschatter. Looking mainly for a cash sale, bank transfer is best. Happy to post/courier as long as costs are covered in the final price - i will get the wife to extra bubble wrap etc etc. Selling for less than i paid - so £750 + P&P .....Right where are those tissues I'm also selling a Barefaced Dubster cab - See amp/cabs section. [i]Could i guess trade for VW Golf/Polo, Peugeot 306 or similar....looking for a cheap under £1K run around - must be diesel too, ideally an estate - can add a bit of cash if needs be....if this bit is against the rules then my apols mods...feel free to delete.

Amongst may other uses these pedals make the most awesome funky envelope filter sounds i've ever heard (and i've tried quite a few over the years)...and with the expression pedal a whole new world opens up. It took me a while to get used to mine but once i did... kaboom-these things are the shiz!!! Great piece of kit...have a bump too
