    I have this listed on eBay at £300, so this price is only for BCers. These are awesome cabs: huge power-handling capability, yet incredibly light, thanks to the construction and clever design. It can be really loud if you want it, but it gives the same transparent delivery even at home-use volumes. I'm only getting rid of this one as I need something smaller - I could do with a bit more floor-space in my studio! I need hardly add that I'm planning to get another Barefaced, but this time a One10, so I'm not interested in trades - sorry. The covering on these cabs is very hard-wearing and cannot be torn like carpet or Tolex, so it looks really great. There are some tiny white marks which are almost impossible to catch on camera, and one nickel corner protector has a small ding (pictured). It's mostly seen home use, but it's been out for a few jams in the two years I've had it. Clearly, I would much prefer collection (from Mapperley in Nottingham) - you can play through it using my bass and head or bring your own - but (for a contribution to petrol) I'm willing to travel up to 50 miles from Nottingham to meet up if that's what you prefer. I could potentially courier it, but delivery would be at your own risk and cost. SPECS (nicked from Bass Direct site - the legacy Barefaced site is down for maintenance) WEIGHT 27 lbs / 12kg BROADBAND SENSITIVITY 100dB – similar to a good 2×12″ USABLE FREQUENCY RANGE 37Hz – 4kHz RECOMMENDED AMP POWER 150 – 600W RMS MAX CONTINUOUS BROADBAND SPL 127dB – similar to a high quality 2×12″ or 3×10″ cab NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms DIMENSIONS 25.5″ high x 19.5″ wide x 13.5″ deep (64cm x 48cm x 34cm)

    Wouldn't change the rate though!

    €1200 comes to a smidgeon over £1000 (1007) - not £1350! You might want to re-edit your heading (or relist if that's not possible). Good luck!

    Belated recognition of some superb customer service by Mark, Ash and Marcus (they were all involved at one point or another): I bought an NS Design WAV4 Radius headless bass from them before Christmas, only for the preamp board to blow the first time I connected to my amp. BD not only arranged speedy delivery of a replacement board and paid for its fitting, but Mark also offered half price on a set of LaBella flats as a compensation for the faffing about. So far, so good, but I asked for a set of medium scale TIs instead (for another bass). The next day, a package arrived containing both the TIs and a set of long scale LaBella. My contribution was just £24.50 for two sets of premium quality flats. Now that's customer service! And, by the way, their prices consistently and significantly undercut those of Strings Direct!

    Definitely worth the wait. While I was waiting for your pix to come up, I was idly googling and could find only one picture - and that was a poor one of a Quadra Valve. These must be as rare as hens’ teeth. Probably a rude question, but do you have any idea of the combined weight of the head and case?

    Headstock heaven!

    Got that woody thump that's not quite the same as a Höfner. Nice!

    I don't know if I'm late to this - I can't see anything in the forums - but anyone interested in finding a vintage Fender might want to have a look at this auction in Durrow, Co. Laois, in Ireland from 11th - 13th March. No, I've never heard of the place either, but take a look! There's a few tasty guitars too. https://www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/sheppards-auction-house/catalogue-id-srshe10121/search-filter?utm_source=auction-alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=auction-alert&utm_content=catlink&brand=Fender&type=Bass Guitar The highlight would appear to be Fred Turner's (from Bachman-Turner Overdrive and The Guess Who) 1968 Custom P - opening bid 3000 Euros, estimate 5000 - 8000: Of course, this doesn't include buyer's premium, shipping, etc. https://www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/sheppards-auction-house/catalogue-id-srshe10121/lot-00e3f1e6-5d59-4944-ae93-b28b014e77dd Apologies if this is old news. I have absolutely no connection with the auction or the vendors, but I thought it might be of interest to collectors on BC anyway. Fill yer boots!

    Oof! Love the checking on the body and headstock. GLWTS!

    I've had one of these and it was awesome - really lovely to play and suitably growly and clanky when necessary. I think they're beautiful to look at too! The only reason I got rid of mine was a return to long-scale with an ultra light Shuker. Otherwise, I'd still be playing my shorty Stingray. GLWYS.
  11. petecarlton
    That's going to be a bit of a long shot. Good luck!
  12. petecarlton
    Well, that's one way of avoiding the CIJ/MIJ debate!😀 GLWTS.
  13. petecarlton
    Wow! Just, wow! GLWTS.
  14. petecarlton
    Oh, my, I really hope you are able to recover from this. Good luck in the future, anyway.

    Never seen that very interesting pickup combination before. Is it any more versatile than a PJ? And what does the single coil give you that you can't get from the P? GLWTS.

    Never seen a Moon gigbag before - it's almost cooler than the bass! GLWTS!
  17. petecarlton
    Oozes quality. GLWTS!
  18. petecarlton
    Now that's a beauty, what a lovely finish. GLWTS!
  19. petecarlton
    Very pretty. Nice bass too!
  20. petecarlton
    Brand new bass, £200+ off, can't justify it for myself, but what a bargain! GLWTS.
  21. petecarlton
    Just in time! That hadn’t occurred to me!
  22. petecarlton
    What a great idea! So great, I'm going to copy it immediately. Thanks.
  23. petecarlton
    Ooh-wee!
  24. petecarlton
    Just out of curiosity, why did you tape up the pickup? It certainly looks much better without, but I guess the reason was more sonic than visual?
  25. petecarlton
    Do you mean the neck and the nut width are like a P? GLWTS
