    This is a pretty good explanatory video. No sound samples. But the thinking behind the cab sounds fantastic.
  2. Al Krow
    Agreed on the 4ohm being my preferred option here too. You do realise there are NO decent YT clips of the new Aerotech line up, and certainly none of it being compared to a BF cab. So if you could A/B your two cabs with a decent mic set up and played through exactly the same amp set flat that would be really awesome.
  3. Al Krow
    Was the Aguilar also set flat too?

    The only fly in the ointment is that 1025s don't seem to come up that often these days and tend to get snapped up pretty quickly (providing they've not been price gouged - I saw one on eBay for £900+ which was very "hopeful"!). And if you find one in vintage white, definitely hold onto it 😉 Having said that, I'd be surprised if you noticed too much difference between the current 435 range and the previous series 1025, so that gives you another very good option. And frankly the more budget 235 owners on here are full of praise for their basses.

    Fair points, however I was responding as simply as possible to the specific query raised by a fellow Yammy owner, with an explanation of how it's been measured for easy comparison (which was measured unfretted). I'll leave him to make use of it, or otherwise.
  6. Al Krow
    My (approx i.e. within 0.5mm) was measured above the fret, as opposed to above the fretboard.

    Great piece of kit from a very good seller! GLWTS

    Ok that's a little bit of a one sided 'fight' then. 😁 I'd love to hear how it matches up against its bigger brother the BB2 which is the same weight as your AT212. Trouble is Bass Direct who stock the GR kit in the UK, don't stock Barefaced so it's going to be tricky to hear them side by side. So I guess your comparison of the two is going to be the best we are likely to get for a while. Have you gone for the 8ohm or 4ohm version?
  9. Al Krow
    Excellent thanks. Barefaced are considered to be pretty uncoloured, so the GR really is getting into "FRFR" territory then! Which model BF cab do you have? PS btw this thread is NOT helping at all in reducing my GR AT212 GAS 😁

    I'd love to hear how GRBass AT212slim stacks up against the Barefaced cab you have? They're pretty much the same weight as my BF BB2 but there's a 4ohm version of the GR, unlike the BB2, which would unleash the headroom in a lot of amps including my DG M900 and as much as I love my 1x12s, there's something even better about a 2x12! Stated f resp of 35Hz to 22kHz looks very good too.

    What's not clear is if the DI out is being taken pre or post EQ? If it's post DI in both cases and the EQ settings are as per the pics i.e. significant mid cut on the GR and significant mid boost on the Aggie it's apples vs pears and @stevie's comments would then very much be expected.
  12. Al Krow
    Haha - yes you've definitely done your bit to keep the bass market afloat over these passed 12 months 😁 I suspect this is going to vary a fair bit. Mine's at approx. 3.5mm above the 21st fret on the A string of my BB1025.
  13. Al Krow
    Fantastic. I had this album of their's on repeat during my youth. IMO it's still one of the very best albums of all...
  14. Al Krow
    Wow! Great job! Are you guys originals or covers? (Apologies if that is something I should already know!) Any uploaded links to your crew playing live you can share?
  15. Al Krow
    It's how it came when I bought it (it is a 15 y/o bass and wear & tear does happen, right?). But the seller kindly knocked the cost of a new Glock pre off his asking price, so it's been budgeted for.
  16. Al Krow
    Loved the male vocals on this, Dave. Good job on the recording too!
  17. Al Krow
    👍😊 I think encouraging each other with positive news is only going to help in terms of building confidence. One of my BC buddies who's a fantastic chap and a pro bass player (300+ gigs PA before lockdown) has messaged me to say he has 3 bookings for the end of May, which is brilliant.
  18. Al Krow
    Err not quite, but fair enough in terms of confusion! The Carvin BB has a Carvin preamp that bore some similarities to a TonePump, but it's not (e.g. it's a 3 band for a start). I'd be fine with keeping it but it's fucked in terms of the 3 band EQ, so it's going to get replaced with a Glock EQ. That particularly journey on swapping out the Carvin pre for a Glock is reasonable well-trodden and been apparently done with some success.

    Calling @alexclaber...we've got another mad product idea for you, if you're interested?!
  20. Al Krow
    Tell you what if Alex C, or someone equally competent who we trusted to be totally on top of what they're doing, came out with something like this, I suspect it would get a lot of attention. And knowing Alex or the GR crew it could well end up being sub 40 lbs.

    Spector TonePump - sourcing: Spotted this really useful post on another thread and am reposting it here so it's not lost! Need to add VAT & shipping on top.
  22. Al Krow
    I can't get passed the NJ acronym. Not sure you're going to be too happy with that Noisyjon? 😁
  23. Al Krow
    Did make me smile that when you stipulated a bass for around £500, in typical BC fashion we managed to recommend one for £1,650! Sometimes sticking to a budget is not our strongest point 😁
  24. Al Krow
    Pulling you onto this thread for your Yammy query, if I may. I think @Ricky Rioli is probably your man!
  25. Al Krow
    That's cheating. A bit like saving money buying used. No metalwork course it is... And the real saving is gonna be from not splurging out on additional pedals that will inevitably result as a consequence of having a larger pedal board with more space on it, while I get my wood-working and metalwork skills up to speed 😁
