    Cheers Paul_S for your comments....depends on what sound you're going for of course, I've gone for the Big Twin and it's immense, the Compact is awesome, some amount of Bass for such a small enclosure, this was my first trip into Barefaced...never look at another manufacturer again, you have to try them to know the awesomeness....and this is a GREAT PRICE peoples.....

    just throw my two penneth in, it's a very loud little cab on it's own, punchy and well defined, all depends on how loud the rest of your band are and the environment you play in of course. I had one with a compact and the two together were massive, I did however use the midget at quieter rehearsals on it's own and it was grand, a-b'd against a big baby I'm unsure, the big baby has more output and the tweeter as well, but the midget is a damn fine cab, one of barefaced best and if you find it's not enough on it's own another midget or a 1x10 would cure that, good luck

    I had one that had an after market tone control added, it's an awesome bass as it is, superb neck, nice heavy body, pickups are great but with SPB3's and a badass bridge it would rival any fender on the market, GLWTS, if I had the monies I'd be in for it myself....

    would this fit a fender precision bass ok, mexican, as you mention nice for a stingray

    Cheers guys, I'm doing pretty basic route note stuff, doing rock n pop covers, lot of 80's stuff with that 80's twang, but also need punch n growl, my 1986 Ibanez Roadstar 5 String was just that but couldn't work with the tight string spacing, hence going back to a more manageable 4 string with fender pickup arrangement on the body, again what I'm most comfortable with, don't do upper registry noodling around the bridge, but I dig in finger style quite aggressively and use a medium to high action. Probably try a lighter B string i.e. 125 and see how I get on, 125 is usually in the med/light 5 string set.
  20. The GroovyPlucker
    yeah, not really thought about that before, good call ambient, cheers
  21. The GroovyPlucker
    thanks for that FinnDave
  22. The GroovyPlucker
    No worries, thanks for all your useful advice, think I'll stick with this idea of tuned down 4's now as I've had a problem trying to find the right 5 with fender pickup positioning which I'm most comfortable with, also finding a slim enough neck for my smallish hands, I'll try a few string combo's and hopefully get it sounding blinding,
  23. The GroovyPlucker
    thanks for that BigRedX, I could cope with the previous down tuned 4 with 5 string set on, but thought I might get away with a slightly lighter gauge, i.e. not as thick/heavy B, without going to slim of course, think a standard B is 135 is that right? the main thing seemed to be getting the tension on the neck right as far as my tech was concerned, I like a medium/high (ish) set up as I dig in a play aggressively, finger style, not much noodling with me, but as you say trial and error, thanks for the reply
  24. The GroovyPlucker
    sorry, so you mean any standard 4 string set, or the specific 4 string tuned down strings, can't remember who make em now, possibly DR. Had a john east before but wasn't massively impressed, although that was in a jazz, the precision one fits onto a standard p, but mine has three pots and jack on the side, was wondering if there's room for say an aguilar in the cavity under the pick guard, mind you would be awkward for battery change as you'd have to take off the pickguard, maybe my tech can route out a batt compartment on the back. I'll check some vids for the je p preamp, thanks for getting back to me though, much appreciated

    I'm just in the process of getting a squier vm fretless precision bass special, 2 pickups, 3 pots. Previously I had a squier matt freeman with spb2's on, down tuned BEAD, my tech did find it a bit tricky to adjust the truss rod but did it and it was a good job, only reason I haven't got it is I wanted a fretless active 5. I now have a fretless and am gonna mod it with spb3's badass bridge etc. So any thoughts on string gauge, I previously had a 5 string set on the matt freeman, but could a 4 string heavy gauge do the trick, I know you can get down tuning strings specially for this but i thought they were quite heavy. Also any ideas on a good pre-amp for a precision special with three pots, not essential but I'd like the extra twang. Cheers Mark
