    Barefaced

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I noticed now that you have the Aguilar Tonehammer 350 as well. I have paired my Barefaced SC with a TH500 amp and it is by far the best combination of amp and cab I have had!

    Recommendation for lightweight amp/cab/combo for carrying on buses/trains?

    I'd considered that, but wasn't sure it'd be enough of a step up from the PJB combo I've already got compared to some of the other options. I mostly use the PJB double four for convenience, its sound is great, but not something I'm particularly attached to or aiming for (I'm definitely going more for convenience that any particular tone, since this is just for practice/jamming rather than gigging).


    I see. Personally, I tend to find the PJB combos to be a bit too transparent, but the Double 4 really is a beautiful piece of equipment for what it is. Good luck with the search for an amp! My advice would be a lightweight cab and class-D amp. It is such a versatile combination. And I haven't tried any better cabinets than the Brighton made Barefaced cabs to be honest.

    I use a Barefaced Super Compact (a 12 inch speaker and no tweeter in a neat package) paired with my Aguilar Tonehammer 500. I toss the Tonehammer in the gig bag and carry the cab (about 10 kilo) with one hand. I highly recommend that combination! The Markbass CMD121, AER or EICH amps might be better alternatives for you if you are set on a high-end combo rather than amp and cab. 

    Edit: I just noticed that you use a PJB combo right now. Why don't you get yourself a Bass Cub 120 or a Phil Jones Brief Case combo if you like the sound you get from your current amp? There is  always the possibility of adding extension cabinets to those combos, right?

    Just tried some demos on YT.

    Sounds great but the sideways form factor won't work on my Nano board.

     

    Definitely one to think about if I ever got back to a bigger board.


     

    I see! I used it on my nano for years. I flipped it sideways and put my compressor underneath. Together, they used the same amount of space as a Shiftline/Sansamp preamp. I sold my Zvex to buy another drive pedal and boy, do I regret that. I used the Zvex as a set-and-forget OD and for that purpose it was lovely.

     

    My second suggestion would be the Mad Professor Amber Drive (for bass, which is available on their website). It sounds huge and is easy to dial in.

     

    The WM Smalls Pork & Pickle would be a great compromise as well since it serves as a drive and/or fuzz.

    I've been trying to get a Diamond Bass Compressor Jr for quite a while now.....guess I might have to wait a lot longer.



    I just noticed that there is one for sale over at Reverb! It is, as E sharp said, a typical always on affair. A great pedal.

    I’ve seen them a few times now, last time, Jesse was on a P-bass 

    He swapped between his two Sereks, not had a listen to the different tracks yet (I did some short videos) but I suspect one is tuned down to D

    I believe he has used Darkglass as I’ve seen him in one of their promo vids, but usually it’s Ampeg on precious gigs, although it was Orange for both bass and guitar on this gig for which he is now an endorsee 

    https://orangeamps.com/artist/jesse-phillips/

    he was also using a few effects, defiantly an envelope filter and possibly some kind of synth or fuzz, but couldn’t see 

     

    couple of full live sets on Bandcamp that are worth a listen, especially the Wichita show

    and a short set they did for Spotify is on, errr, Spotify, that’s really good

    Seems like a great band! Thanks for the the tip through this thread.

    That is a thing of beauty, Clarky!  If you ever decide to part ways with it  I would buy it in a heartbeat.

    I love the look of the midwestern, just wish they’d do a 32/33/34 with a slightly larger body - so it looked in proportion.

     

    not a huge fan of their other body styles 


    You can order the Midwestern in 32” these days. It will however cost you an additional 100 USD I think.

    It was hearing a 5 string Midwestern played by David Byrne’s bass player on SNL that sent me down the short scale rabbit hole; a place I’m happy to be inhabiting. A Midwestern 2, with a pair of B90s would float my boat with bells on. However, the cost would sink said boat quite quickly too. Such are the vagaries of GAS and the boutique bass market. 😕


    Sell all of your other basses and go for it! That is what I did to fund my Midwestern. 😄
