Phil-osopher10 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) So I'm thinking of getting a barefaced cab in the summer time when I can afford it. What makes the midget better than the acme low b1, aguilar 12's etc? Also gow easy would it be to cover it in carpet? tolex is of the devil... EDIT: Also one of the reasons I'm thinking of one is that you see alexcalber around the forum giving advice and that is a big plus on customer service!

alexclaber Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Phil(?) The biggest advantage the Midget has over all the conventional 1x12"s is that it has a much heftier woofer and larger port so it can handle far more power without distortion - thus you can use one cab in a loud band. The GS112 is a very well proven and sweet sounding design but everyone rocking out with one seems to need a pair. There are plenty of other differentiators - see the website! Compared to an Acme Low-B1, it's simply a completely different animal with vastly different design goals - the Big Baby is similar to the Acmes but usefully louder. None of the Barefaced models are covered in tolex, we use a texturised polymer coating. Best regards, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil-osopher10 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Pheww... that stuff is pretty terrible. How is it on the low b? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 No problem at all with 5/6 strings. Confusingly it's the tone you like and the loudness you need that determines the required low frequency ability of the cab, much more than what your lowest string is tuned to - hence all the questions we ask before we sell anything!
