There is a Barefaced Dubster in the Basschat Marketplace (no personal interest), which would be immense with the 500 watt head. However, that might not fit your definition of portable, in which case a Barefaced Two10 would be a good candidate IMO. Mine is surprisingly low end rich. I can’t comment on the BF 12s, because I have never had the pleasure but I should think a Super Twin would give you the goods even more than the Two10. You might have to play with the amp EQ more though, as the 12s are less coloured than the 10s.

 

@asingardenof got there before me on the Dubster. Great minds think alike!

Barefaced for reggae all day long. I would recommend the 4x10 (I needed that much headroom) or the Super Twin.

This lightweight(49lbs / 22kg) very rare cab is 1600watts of power voiced for Reggae/Dub/Rocksteady/Ska and ideal for Soul/Motown or anything else where it’s all about the lows & a mellow midrange.

If your into Doom, this would make an exceptional foundation for your sound.

Comes with a basic Roqsolid cover.

Located in Bath Ba1

The Bassbone OD allows you to connect two bass guitars and sculpt the tone of each one individually, as each input has its own level and EQ controls.

The EQ settings have been specifically tailored for use with basses, and include a high pass filter to roll off excessive low end, along with a selectable center frequency for the Mid EQ boost/cut.

Input A features a PZB booster designed for use with upright basses that employ a piezo transducer, while Input B includes a Drag Control impedance correction circuit that adjusts the load presented to magnetic pickups for a more natural tone.

Following the input and EQ section, the Bassbone OD allows both instruments to share your effects pedals with an EFX Loop, which then feeds a powerful on-board overdrive.

I bought this from Vintage n Rare Guitars in Bath and it has been in its case since then. It's in very good condition with some lovely figuring on the carved top which I havnt been able to photograph. There is a small ammout of buckle rash but nothing that has gone through the finish. IMHO this is a very vibey rock n roll bass with a heavy versatile sound....
This is the original advert "Thunderous sounding Gibson Les Paul Bass from 2000 – this is the second version of the Les Paul Bass with a chambered body and passive TB Plus ceramic humbuckers. Also features a carved maple top, mahogany neck and body with an ebony fingerboard and a 34” scale length.
In excellent condition with the original Gibson hard case."

The Bassbone OD, from highly regarded Canadian builders Radial, combines a preamp, overdrive, equaliser, DI box and switcher/combiner, which can accommodate a broad range of signal types. As you’d expect from Radial, the build quality is excellent: it’s reassuringly weighty, and all the knobs and switches have a solid, consistent feel.

Awesome ~ I should be able to get £600 today and maybe pop round tonight. If not I can come on Thursday...

hiya

Is this still available?

Used for about 10 gigs and some rehearsals. As with all early BF cabs the tolex has shrunk a little. A small orange mark on the back and a surface scratch on the top,both pictured. Top of the range Roqsolid padded cover.

I know that you were joking but the Ashbury I had provided a really fat tone which would be ideal for dub. I don't like the white strings it came with but I'm told the black ones which are fitted to Ukes are a lot less sticky.

I'd definitely give it a go if there is one nearby.

Do you you mean the Ashbory. I have borrowed one and it did have a deep unique sound and was fun.

Ovation Magnum - more low end in the fundamental tone than any bass I've played, but clear and articulate with it - no mud.  They do crop up 2nd hand.

as played by Jah Wobble.....

That would be very nice. Rare I'm guessing?

Not sure about the looks matching the sounds, but for very deep lows I`d be looking at a Thunderbird.

I'd love to have a Thunderbird but as my hair has been falling out my bass has been getting higher n a Tbird would definitely look daft sat on my beer gut :-)

Hey congrats on the new bass!! I managed to get the last vintage white BB1025 recently and am also very happy!

I'm actually also a big fan of the nord pups on the Ibby SR series (and although, unlike you, I do like the skinny neck on the 4 string SR I have; it's perhaps on 5 and 6 string basses that a skinny neck really comes into its own!), Anyway, we seem to have a mutual appreciation of quality Japanese basses!

Would love to hear any clips of your live / recorded material if you have any stuff uploaded?

 Yes, always been a fan of Japanese instruments. This song was recorded with an Ibanez SR500 DI'd. I convert the 4 string basses I play to BEAD, tried a 5 but couldn't get it.

Yamaha BB425. Roll the tone off and set it in P bass mode and you'll have a lush dub tone in a quality bass. 

There's one going for a good price on fBook (I have no connection to the seller!):

Thanks for the Yamaha link Al Krow. I've just managed to buy one of the last Yamaha BB714BS Billy Sheehan Signature basses in the country. Very happy :-)

Hi folks

I'm looking for a new bass that will give me a very deep low for live and recording.
At the moment I'm playing live with a 73 Telecaster humbucker bass which is not great for recording.
For recording I'm using an Ibanez SR1400 but I don't get on with the skinny neck however the Nordstrand Big Single pickups sound great.

Thanks in advance.
