    We've used it.

    Mr Venom deals with this side of things, but IIRC you can log in and see if anyone has listened to your tracks. I believe ours were all auditioned within a week of being uploaded.

    Whether or not you get any airplay is entirely down to the people who make those decisions for your local show and if they like you or not.

    Nottingham (and consequently the East Midlands) is very much in the grip of fey singer-songerwriters with acoustic guitars, so unless you fit into that genre you will probably be disappointed. We have uploaded the tracks from all three of our EPs (as well as supplying actual physical copies of the CDs and vinyl to Radio Nottingham) but have only ever had one track played on the radio. You would have thought that a local band with it's own records available for sale would be important enough for a local music show to at least play one track of each release, but apparently not.

    Good luck, but don't expect much.

    We experience really, as in Nottingham too.
    Even met Dean Jackson at a show and told us personally he would play us on the radio, but again we aren't folk/acoustic/singer/songwriter/indie so they just don't care, regardless of what the rest of the UK are actually listening too.

    Generally depends where you are from and what appears to be popular at the time. If it isn't the same as that then you'll have a tougher time.

    Markbass cab advice

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted · Edited by Prime_BASS

    Depends what you mean by 'lows' and 'thump'
    You should try and pin point what you actually want from them.

    I had a pair of those and never wanted for any more low mid thump, and prefered them stacked vertically, which was a lot more clearer through the low mids to high mids.

    I doubt that changing one for any other cab size (apart from something really huge) is going to make a real difference, apart from maybe some sort of pseudo belief it's changed from just thinking it's changed due to having a 15 or some such.

    Barefaced Super Compact x2 SOLD

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Prime_BASS

    I've brought a markbass classic 104 so these are up for sale, I may still keep one as they are honestly the best cabs I've owned and far superior to any past barefaced cabs and I've owned and heard most of them.

    Barefaced Super Compact. Both black steel grill. Both in great condition, one is serial number 1! The older of the two has been used a lot more but is in the same condition I brought it in, only difference is the finish is a little smoother on the old one.
    Selling as I've gone for a more vintage and coloured cab sound for recording purposes.
    £400 each. £750 for both.
    Would prefer collection as I don't have materials to ship.

    Flat response bass cabinets - Do they exist?

    I'm sorry Chris, normally your views are well worth listening to but this makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE AT ALL!!!

    If there is no point to accurate (aka transparent) amplification and loudspeakers then why do so many bassists DI in the studio and through PA systems? You make music with your instrument. If the tone coming from the instrument is exactly what you want, then why would you change it?

    If the tone coming from the instrument isn't what you want then you can use FX/amps/speakers to change the tone (add colouration) to get the sound you want.

    I can't recall one gig I've played where the bass was a Mic'd cab over the dry as hell DI. If it was the other way around then I probably wouldn't have gone through so many cabs.

    Sure I could turn up with my own mic and what not and be a stuck up snob about it but I'm not about that.

    I already turn up with my own DI and that's anal enough.

    Still would like to have that sealed coloured sound but no point when everyone else hears the dryest signal ever.

    Using barefaced for guitar

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I realise this could have gone in the guitar section but since it covers a bass amp and I'd get more response here that's why it's here.

    I realise it's fully possible and useable to use as a guitar cab but how exactly should I go about this?
    I currently have access to a few guitars, no guitar amp though and some effects(mainly OD and distortions)
    I'd want to get an as authentic tone as possible using the cab so either modelling or a guitar amp into it with some kind of cab sim?

    Anyone else used and gigged a barefaced can for guitar work?

    My guitarist is insanely jealous that my behemoth sound comes from a Polly pocket weighted rig.
