That's better. Looks good.

The lack of pics is extra-ironic, given your username.

It's a good price for a neck thru. Weight is alright. Bit suspicious of the stock pickups. Might be worth a go.

I figure you must have this by now? If so, any review or pics?

... Oh and they sound different.

If you play either in a pub band, the audience wouldn't really be able to tell which one without looking.

My initial thought is the person who wrote the add didn't put too much thought into it - busted blurted it out. That's neither a good nor a bad thing though.

I can do Reading. Not too far from there. Might pop in and check at those TKS things.

Hmmmm. Did I say that? It's a factor. Don't go getting all upset if I don't agree with you.

If you have the budget for Barefaced I'd also check out Vanderklay cabs.

Those are heavier. You'd have to be 5'2" and under 8st to understand that.

They are very pretty.

No definition? I'd look at the way you've eq'ed the amp.

I've played my Thunderfunk through 1 and 2 gen2 Compacts and IME you get out what you put in.

Well, I had a sound engineer on the case for me for 20 mins or so. He tours all over the UK and Europe with that band and others. The main bass player uses in ears so it's no so much of an issue. He reckoned I should get one with a tweeter - or use two, one on top of the other, to bring the sound up to my ears.

Maybe I should get one of those little ones to put on top?

I'm not changing the amp - sounds great through everything else I put it through. I have been taking it to rehearsal rooms all over the place with different cabs of all kinds. Allows me to get a sound quite quickly.

........ But it seems ok with the Ashdown Head ? .....
[/quote]

I didn't use an Ashdown head. The bass guy uses an ABM 900 thing into two separate Ashdown 4x10 cabs. I plugged my RH450 into one of them. Sounded real good ...... but I couldn't even move it an inch never mind pick it up and carry it.

I'm thinking of finally getting my own rig. I've got a TC Electronic RH450 but I don't have a cab yet.

I played few numbers at my Dad's soundcheck at the weekend. His sound guy lent me a Barefaced 1x15 - Compact I think? I'm sure it was a 15" speaker and there was no tweeter. It said Barefaced on it and looked like a lump of coal. It sounded great with the RH450 on my own, but I couldn't pick out the individual notes I was playing that well when the drums, guitarist and vocals were added. It was really loud - didn't need more than 1/3 way round the dial (and I like to play loud and punchy). It pulverised the room, good-style, but no matter how I twiddled, I couldn't get the clarity I wanted.

I switched after a couple of songs to the bass guy's 4x10 Ashdown (still with the RH450) and it was much better. Not as loud for any given setting - had to use 1/2 the amp's power rather than a third. I think they were both 8 Ohm things. I could hear all of the notes more clearly. Trouble is, the Barefaced was light. I could carry it. The Ashdown .... no chance.

I need to look at light things. Maybe a Barefaced with a tweeter?

Oh and Jennie, Please do not lick your guitar like that (Profile Photo) there are aging men on this forum who might spill their Earl Grey tea on their slippers. At our advanced ages that can really ruin your Mojo before a gig. Also unless you use flatwounds thats gonna hurt if you keep doing it.
[/quote]

..... ok. Old men and their innuendos disgust me. So now changed.

I'd like a small, powerful, high-quality combo as I'm only little and struggle with heavy gear going in to gigs. It's not just weight though. At 5'2" you find that big things are difficult to manoeuvre. So where can I actually try these things?

Young people nowadays, huh?

They seem to have an odd product development strategy. Same as the 69er one when it was launched. Most normal companies will create a prototype and take some pictures of it - or maybe a few prototypes and send 'em to reviewers etc.

This lot appear to create an imaginary product, ask people to buy it in theory ..... even when they haven't designed parts like the grill. And then, make you wait much longer than you thought for delivery. I saw someone on here saying that this is what you expect for custom builds ........ but this isn't a custom build is it?

Baffling (sic).

What Ohm rating did you order? The 12 Ohm or the 4 Ohm?

When you say "coming to the end of its life" whadya mean?

When did you actually place your order BigWan?

Some awesome tone that the bass player got outta that Warwick thing in the "Volcano" song on it though. Monster.

This is one of a series of similar hoaxes. Sound engineers will generally be too professional to do anything other than try to get a genuine good sound for the venue. Whether you approve of his idea of that sound is another matter.

Because you're not getting any more noticeable volume out of a 4 ohm 2x10 cab than what you would out of an 8 ohm one.
If you're going to run an amp at its minimum load, then it makes sense to make sure that the cab(s) are going to make the best use of running your amp hot.
[/quote]

Sorry, I'm new here. I don't get this. I have an Ashdown MiBass 550 .... which puts out 550 watts at 4 Ohms - but probably only about 300 and something at 8 Ohms. So ........ surely, there will be a higher volume at any given level on the dial if it is a 4 Ohm rather than 8 Ohm?

I'm interested y'see as I'm kinda slight and would like a lightweight cab ..... and any help with output would be good.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1413913731' post='2583569']
Yes, there's a few companies that do, but unless you have an amp that runs at 2 ohm, then it's a bit pointless.

Why would it be pointless?
