[quote name='funky8884' timestamp='1427713681' post='2733263'] A carvin BX series will power the cabs with headroom to spare, I have a BX1600 for sale if that's any interest [/quote] Thanks for the offer, great amp for sure but I'm looking to downsize and those, whilst lightweight, are bigger than i'm looking for. Thanks again tho.

+1 for the MXR M87 - its got all the control you'll need and is very transparent (and small!) There's a new one coming from Keeley too which is supposed to be very good: [url="https://robertkeeley.com/product/keeley-compressor-pro-namm-2015/"]https://robertkeeley...-pro-namm-2015/[/url] Billy Sheehan is a true compression guru and he's raving about this one!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1427709298' post='2733181'] I think you've got to hear the amps before you decide. [/quote] I know you're right Chris - it's just that i'm not sure the Bass Terror's that the shops have in stock are going to be around for very long at that price! I'll have to get my arse somewhere and try one sharpish I think! Day off work coming I think!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1427707657' post='2733160'] The correct answer is, it depends ... [/quote] True indeed Happy Jack - was just thinking I should give a bit more info / detail about my other gear etc... In my band I mainly play a 5 string Jazz, but also use a 4 string Jazz and 4 String P basses too if/when necessary. The music is up-to-date pop stuff mainly - mainly fingerstyle, bit of slap here and there (uptown funk!) Also use a splash of dirt here and there (EBS Billy sheehan pedal), chorus (just a smidge and usually left on), Flanger here and there, and lastly the MXR M87 compressor before the amp.. Think thats it!

Hey all, got 2 Barefaced Super compacts coming soon - and I'm going to be looking to change my amp too. Alex advised me to carry on using my Ashdown ABM evoii for a few gigs after getting the compacts to better judge what I would/could change to - sound advice indeed. I intend to do this but I've seen over the weekend that the Orange Terror Bass 500 has come down in price to £349! Very tempted to just pull the trigger on one - anyone used one with a G3 super compact, or indeed a pair of super compacts? For info I'm particularly looking for a head which I could use with either one or both cabs - some of the venues I play definitely wont need a pair! Others I've considered are the LittleMark 3 and the Tecamp 500 - any advice from other Barefaced users greatly appreciated! Cheers!

I'll be watching this thread closely! OP has the same dilemma as I'll have when I get my 2 Barefaced Super compacts!

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1427311433' post='2728792'] I said it would be only a couple of weeks or so when he ordered and nothing has changed! I thought he was asking others to see how long they waited? [/quote] That's right Alex, I was only trying to find out how long others had waited in recent times. Like I repeatedly pointed out, I'm not complaining about waiting at all. To be clear, I only ordered and paid my deposit 10 days ago. I'm just excited to get the cabs! But thanks for replying anyway Alex.

It doesn't really matter what the other members of the band are using - If you don't have a bass amp or other monitoring on stage, you (or the other band members for that matter) won't be able to hear yourself properly, unless you stand in front of the PA system of course!

Thanks for the responses guys, but what I'm really looking for is the CURRENT average waiting time. Sounds like most of you ordered last year or earlier. Is there anyone who's ordered in the last 6-8 weeks who'd be willing to answer? Cheers! (again - I'm not bitching! Just excited to get 'em)
