[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1462638892' post='3044609'] I suppose I could have mentioned it directly, but I had more important things to worry about - I've had 3 operations in the last few months. [/quote] Puts things well into perspective, hope all good

To be fair it's exactly the same way as I've seen all other cabs covered - do the four sides in one long roll then do the back panel separately. That said I'd not be happy with it peeling after such a short space of time, I seem to recall similar issues on the Retro Two10 so it's a shame if it's not sorted yet.

I had to learn 15 songs in a week a month ago for a dep gig. It was great fun and a good excuse to get my bass room sorted in my new house As soon as that gig was finished I had to do a similar thing for another band the following week but only 5 songs and two days. On top of my day job, where I'm out of the house for about 11 hours of the day, and juggling looking after my son on some days it was hard work but damn good fun

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1462554744' post='3044043'] I'm thinking of picking up one of these and a GK MB Fusion.... [/quote] Great idea

Nice!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1462466008' post='3043283'] There's no need to be rude, mate! [/quote]

Shitballs

Barefaced Super 12 or Super Twin. The S12 is the older cab with standard eminence drivers and probably marginally more "pokey", the STwin is the Gen3 with proprietary drivers and a more rounded tone but will easily do poke

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1462440189' post='3042980'] Ashdown ABM & Barefaced super compacts make a very versatile rig . [/quote] Yes, yes they do!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1462437358' post='3042950'] Hee, hee. The build quality is not bad. You can specify a mod to have the handle on the side with the feet, thus leaving a nice flat area on the other side for your amp... quite a few on TB have done this, and one or two of this parish also, I believe. [/quote] This isn't helping! Argh

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1462393400' post='3042740'] Don't lose hope yet Martin, it might be totally crap at an actual gig... [/quote] Fingers crossed Mark Also most intrigued by the amp stand. Never really bothered before but actually quite taken with the idea the more I think about it. You'll have to let me know the pros and cons of the Stagg vs the (I assume!) MarkBass Velcro strip(TM)

Sounds awesome. Just what I didn't need.

Please make the review totally biased against the One10 to alleviate the painful GAS I'm suffering!

Why does every damn BF thread end up in a bloody argument? It's pathetic. Some people love the cabs Some people love the idea of the cabs Some people don't mind the cabs, but they can take them or leave them Some people don't like the cabs based on 1st hand experience (i.e. they have gigged one themselves) Some people don't like them based on hearing other people gig them Some people don't like the cabs based on an impression of earlier generation cabs and haven't yet tried the newer ones Some people don't like the cabs based on a number of design/construction/finishing aspects but may or may not have ever actually seen, played or even heard one All of the above are perfectly valid, as they all allow us to form an opinion in one way or another. I for one can totally understand the looks thing - there are loads of cabs I wouldn't buy because of the looks but (for me) BF isn't in that category. Let's leave it be for once shall we?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1461683551' post='3036722'] I don't think amps have outputs with different impedances, do they? My understanding is that the output from the amp is in Volts, and that depending on the impedance presented by the speaker cab, that voltage creates a certain amount of movement in the speaker that we perceive as sound. More voltage = more sound. The socket on the back of the amp indicates the minimum (or even recommended) impedance of any cab connected to it... I believe all of the above to be true. That doesn't mean that it is, of course! [/quote] Mr MooseBlaster's amps are all valve though so have different transformer tappings for 8, 4 and (in the case of the CTM100) 2 ohms. Valve amps are different from solid state - going too low on the impedance is *generally* not quite as bad because of the way the current and voltage is delivered and soaked up. With solid state amps the lower the impedance the more current the output transistors try to pass. It gets to a point where they can't keep passing more current so they eventually go pop.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1461683089' post='3036717'] Er... no [/quote] just wondered if that counted as "mail order" like Barefaced apparently does Playing devils advocate

Does buying a stock bass from, say ACG, Status, Shuker et al, cover the same ground as buying from Barefaced...? You see where I'm going with this...?

[quote name='Soulman' timestamp='1461397399' post='3034234'] +1 [/quote] +2

[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1461255239' post='3032976'] My wallet is already investigating... [/quote] Excellent!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461239062' post='3032742'] It does seem to be two Two10s rather than one Four10... [/quote] I thought it was 1/2 an Eight10?

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1461230547' post='3032608'] People may be shocked to learn I am considered ordering one... I no longer used my Orange OBC 410 due to it being a dead weight and barely ever moving from my house, so that was sold about 6 months back. It sounded excellent, no issue there. Anyone experienced in what the high detail is like in this series of cabs? I do like to go from warm low mid thump to all out aggressive treble grind... [/quote] Based on my very brief experience of the Two10 I reckon this would do that very nicely indeed!

Good work! I can't afford one at the moment sadly. Would love to hear one
