    Barefaced Compact v Aguilar GS112NT

    Mr T

    I think what you have just described is more or less what you get with the compact. I have been using 4 x 10's before getting the compact and i'm very happy with it. It is stupidly easy to transport too. It is easily loud enough for pub gigs, I haven't done any large gigs with it yet. Still can't comment on the Aggie tho.

    If you lived nearer to me you could come and try it.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Alex

    Not sure if this is on the right thread or not.

    First Impressions.

    Got the Compact yesterday and straight to band practice last night, not much time to experiment so it was plug and play. Using a customised Fender P through a Mark Bass LMK ( I have been using this set up with a 4ohm 4 x 10 ). Band last night was a loud Rock/Metal/Punk band. When they saw the Compact I could see the "is that going to be loud enough" look on their faces.. It was plenty loud enough and more.. Couldn't tell the difference in volume to the 4 x 10.. For a laugh I kept asking them if they wanted me to turn up... They didn't.

    So it's plenty loud but the main benefit for me was in the tone. Great old school tone but clearer, no mud, if that makes sense. Nice tight lows, smooth even mids when I wanted and a nice upper mid grind when I wanted that and it surprised me how much top it produced when I cranked up the treble.

    All in all exactly what I wanted.

    For those who think you need a 4ohm cab to get the volume... You don't !

    Thanks for a great cab Alex

    Cheers

    Hi Geoff

    I've got a HS410 you can try if you like ( WoT's old one ), I'm just outside Sheffield if thats any closer for you.

    Cheers

    I've just bought a Bartolini mm pickup from Tony. Great comms, great transaction, great delivery, great guy.

    Highly recommended to deal with.

    Which "Flatwounds" to use...?

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='450343' date='Mar 31 2009, 10:47 AM']FWIW I use predominantly flatwounds so have tried quite a few.


    I have settled with GHS and D'addario. Mostly because although they are quite bright initially they 'dirty up' after a couple of weeks. This then makes a wonderful tone that I am happy with.

    Status and DR boht make nice ones too but stay a bit too brite for my liking.


    Roto's and Fenders I just dont get on with, they feel very rough under my fingers.

    Hope that helps.[/quote]


    Hi Burpster

    Can you tell me, did you have the Rotosounds long enough to be able to comment on the difference in sound between those and the Daddario's ?

    Cheers
