[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1386101077' post='2295871'] I own a Barefaced cab and a Rick......I feel like a leper. [/quote] You think you've got it bad, I own a Barefaced, a Warwick, and TC and Ashdown heads!!

http://bit.ly/1eG1aqB I used to use a sports bag but have just started using one of these that I had lying around from my days as a network engineer. You can get them from any CK tool distributor.

The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx had me wondering how on earth the guy is still alive!

You're welcome to come have a blast through it. I'm on nights until xmas now though, so Wednesdays are the only evening I'm about during the week (I'm not about this week though), which is when we rehearse. We start at 7 so if you could come over at 6 you can have it for an hour if that's any good?

[quote name='matybigfro' timestamp='1385385594' post='2287551'] [b] ern? where do you practice in Bristol, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that I should be getting something Barefaced?[/b] [/quote] I just use the back bar of a friends pub in Southmead. Where are you based?

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1383923954' post='2270897'] Full report required. [/quote] I'll do my best, I'm not normally very good at reviewing stuff, but I'll certainly report back after tomorrow's gig.

Just got back from walking the dog to find a delivery van outside my house, driver emerged with a large box, and lo and behold if had this little beauty inside!! Tomorrow's gig can't come soon enough now!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1383241484' post='2262068'] It is probably more to do with the attitudes of the members of each band towards how the bands were run rather than the choice of material, but the covers band was prepared to coast along, while the originals band is actively doing stuff - playing chasing up gigs interacting with our fans on social media. I know which one is most fun for me. [/quote] +1 When I'm in covers bands all I actually want to do is gig, the rehearsing, gig chasing etc I could easily do without. I do it because we have to do it to get gigs, keep set list fresh and keep going. But when I'm in an originals band it all seems part of the fun, I WANT to go out promoting ourselves, rehearsing, chasing gigs etc.

I've been in quite a few originals bands, but I've I've always been been in a covers band at the same time. Im only in 2 cover bands now. I loved the thrill of performing something we created, but I've also always loved playing songs I grew up with. Building up a following with an original band takes time and work but is very rewarding, but I also love turning up at a pub/club on a saturday night, blasting through some cover songs I love and the crowd knows, watching people sing along, dance, spill beer everywhere and generally have a great time. It's a different kind of rewarding but enjoyable all the same.

What you should do now is order a nice Roqsolid cover for it, then they'll have the dimensions so I can order one for mine, ready for when it arrives!! :-D

The knob nearest the jack outputs is push/pull so you can run a pickup through each output or run both pickups through the top jack, so he may be running both pickups into one amp in the clip.

I've got a Big Twin 2 on order, and it can't get here soon enough!!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1381067218' post='2233916'] More of an ale guy tbh. Edit: bah, super 15 is at practice space now I've found a drummer so can't side my side. [/quote] Shame, would've been cool to compare them.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1381066069' post='2233899'] Can you bring it round to my big pile of valve amps and see how it work out with them? Assume its easier to move than a big pile of valve amps. Got a video thing. [/quote] I'm happy for you to put it through its paces with your valve amps, as long as you're happy doing a set up on my Warwick in exchange for cider!!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1381049281' post='2233647'] Serious GAS now. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and start saving in earnest. [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Big-Twin-2.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Big-Twin-2.htm[/url] Alex makes it very tempting indeed. [/quote] I made my mind up I wanted a lightweight cab and that after much browsing of their website a barefaced was the answer. I actually put a deposit on a S15 but after filling in the e-form and a few emails back and forth with Alex he sent me the spec for the Big Twin 2, bit the bullet and went for it. After reading people's views on it at the SE bash I'm so glad I did. Can't wait for it to arrive now. If you're ever in the Bristol area and fancy a blast let me know, I live about 2 mins from our rehearsal space which is always available and volume not an issue!! :-D

My Streamer LX is my "go to" bass. I tend to use it for everything now, whichever band I'm gigging or rehearsing with. It's lighter than my Spector and the slimmer neck just feels right and makes it a doddle to play.

I think there's a few of us on here anxiously awaiting the "it's on it's way to you " email!!!

I've just been looking at this, pity it's so far away because I'd like to take a closer look at it

Man, I was doing so well, being patient, telling myself the wait would soon be over, but now reading all this and seeing the pics I desperately want my Big Twin 2 to arrive!!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1380212426' post='2222412'] Instrumental Def Leppard tribute it is then. [/quote] Quality answer!!

Bought an OLP MM2 from Stevie. Excellent communication throughout, bass arrived when stated, well packaged, he even threw in an old case to ensure it had a safe journey. Deal with confidence people, Stevie is a top man to deal with.

[quote name='Jupiter' timestamp='1379967136' post='2218945'] Living proof that too much pie n' chips and skin tight spandex/bandanas do not mix. I always thought Grim Reaper were the worst offenders: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGvU4XXntMk [/quote] Christ that takes me back a bit, I supported Steve Grimmett when he was touring with Lionsheart!

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1379930386' post='2218253'] Yes there was, and with the measely 500w on tap from my sa450 it managed to pretty much empty the hall, as no one else could hear what they were doing at all, and URB and I got rather over excitred by the sheer power of this full functional [s]death star[/s] [s]earthquake machine[/s] [s]trouser leg drying device[/s] uber cab. Deep filter sweeps it can handle, slappity tappity nonsense it can handle, walls of distortion, it can handle, befuddled fat old geezer having a mad stab at his bass on mega war volume, it can handle - apologies to everyone who had to hear me (reckon they could hear it as far away as Dartford)! Apparently its rated to 1600w, it definitely goes deeper and far louder than anything else I've played since I borrowed the original Big One for a bit way back when - its much much more efficient than that cab was though, the tweeter is amazing too. Really really impressive. I would say there was no drummer, and no pair of rock guitarists in the land who wouldnt s*** themselves on hearing it. Fear the bassist with one of these beauties ya b*****ds! When Billy Apple ran it off his Matamp 200w head with the Big Baby as well it was utterly earth shaking too, sounded immense! Still grinning about it now [/quote] Reading this makes me a very very happy man!!!
