  1. Laney R500H 500w head.

    A great amp with loads of tonal possibilities and plenty of power! Only moving on as my current band are moving to IEM's with everything going through the P.A.

    They're discontinued but you can still pick them up online for just shy of £300.

    At £150 (if my maths is correct!?) It works out at 30p per watt! 

     

    Any questions just ask. 

    Postage is around £7

  2. Good condition TC BG250-208. Cracking little amp. Great for home practice or small rehearsals. Not getting the use it deserves currently so looking to move it on. Have owned since new.

    Also a helicon 3-way foot switch to quickly change between tone prints for sale. £180 for both. 
     

    Collection in Portsmouth or delivery guessing around £20.

    Unsure if you're open to other suggestions (it's a slightly different concept to the head & cab setup). I previously had a Big Baby 2 but I now use of these RCFs.
    https://www.thomann.de/gb/rcf_art_732_a_mk_iv.htm

    The things they have in common with the Big Baby 2 are the clarity, faithful, very loud, and sound quality not compromised at high volumes. RCF is heavier, but with better handles. I too play in a 10-piece function band and it's been perfect for me.

    Ah ok, that sounds like an interesting alternative, although I’m think probably going to stick to getting a bass specific cab. Thanks though!

    Hi JRsorry for the late reply just getting used to the Bass Chat site

    our 1x12 bass cabs are ultralight Bernard was telling me when I delivered his Triple Bass Case

    S off Dixon has been making ultra lite Aluminum Cabs for 17years we first started with 4x12 Guitar Cabs But it was to soon people only wanted wooden cabs but when I got talking to Bernard he was very interested in hearing what one sounded like now he has it he loves if

    If you wish to talk about it further my email address is [email protected] this would be the quickest way to get me if you wish to discuss it further

    Thanks, I’ll check it out!

    Hey @JRBass - I've spent a fair bit of time on that particular journey, myself, and have had two VK (both 210s) and two BF cabs over the past 3 or so years. You won't be disappointed with either brand IMO. The VKs are a little more coloured / sweeter sounding than the BF.

    I've ended up (a little to my surprise tbh) with a BF BB2 as my intended goto gigging cab, which I got hold of just before lockdown so have not had chance to try out in anger with full rock band yet. But I really like the combination of sound quality / articulation, frequency response, power handling & output and fantastic portability; as a 112 it's pretty hard to beat across all those categories taken together but it doesn't come cheap - I was fortunate to get one used in vgc. 

    What set up and band will you be using it for - I see from your avatar that you're mainly an upright double bass player?

    Thanks, that’s really useful! 
    I swap quite a lot between upright and electric bass, playing mostly jazz, rock and pop. Varies from trio to function band mainly, so I don’t need anything huge for trio’s, but need something that can keep up in a 10 piece function band. The three cabs seem to meet my needs on paper, but great to hear how people are finding them in the real world! 

     

  6. Hi all,

    I'm in the market for a new cab but lockdown means unfortunately i can't go and try any out at the moment. 

    I like the idea of buying British (especially as now it looks like the economy is taking a big hit!), and have been drawn to the Barefaced line, especially the Big Baby 2, along with the DB Embee 12 which looks like an interesting concept. I know there's a lot about BF cabs on here already, but does anyone have experience of both of these cabs, the positives and negatives?

    Also, I know they're not British, but the Vanderkley 112 MNT also looks pretty cool so any opinions on that would be welcome!
