    DB750 Query/Barefaced Big Twin 2 Gen 3

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted · Edited by Thor

    Hi All,

    This is a bit of a weird one but I'm hoping somebody out there may be able to shed some light on a query I have with my DB750, so I recently got a Barefaced Big Twin 2 Gen 3 cab and when I tried out the amp/cab combination I was getting a horrific noise that initially made me think that the horn on the cab was faulty. I tried attenuating the horn and this did seem to ease the symptom, although I did think I could still hear it. I asked our singer to lift the amp/tuner off the cab and by doing so the noise definitely disappeared.

    This got me to thinking that something was loose in my rack, having checked, everything was found to be secure. The thing is I have heard a rattling noise coming from the rack when setting it down on the floor, so I've taken the rack apart and the top off the amp to try and identify what's going on - I've found out that inside the amp there's a row of resistors marked on the board as R103 - R108 and R109 - R114 that have some kind of insulator sleeve at one end of the soldered joint and it's these little insulators (or whatever they are) loose and moving back and forth slightly. So I don't really think there's a fault as such just a certain frequency (fretted D at the fifth fret of A string) that sets them off buzzing and rattling.

    I guess what I'm after is whether anyone else has experienced anything similar and whether I need to try and isolate the rack from the cab? Kinda like a gramma pad I guess?

    The frustrating thing is I really like the HF horn cranked to the max but by doing so I just get this terrible rattling noise that spoils the cab.

    I have take photos of the offending parts but the last time I used Photobucket it seemed to corrupt my phone, so if anyone can suggest another image hosting software that is easy to use on mobile that'd be helpful too👍
    Here's hoping that someone may be able to help😊

    Barefaced Super 12T

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I'm sure I'll end up regretting this as this one is the third one of these I've had!!

    Up for sale is my Barefaced Super 12T with black metal grille and a Roqsolid cover. The cab is in excellent condition (as is the cover). This has honestly been gigged a handful of times as my go to cab is my Aguilar 412 - I tend to use this for smaller venues so as such has never been worked hard.

    Would prefer collection/meet up but will consider shipping at buyers expense😊

    Photos to follow (but we all know what these look like).

    Any questions please ask - cheers!

    I'm not an expert but the headstock looks wrong to me, I've had a couple of 70's Js and I don't remember the D string tuner being as tight to the bottom of the headstock as that one shows, also the alignment of the decal looks wrong to me and the bullet adjuster seems to stick out way too far?

    Could be my old eyes using the mobile app though - looks a nice bass at a quick glance.
