Lozz196 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 New Cab Day - yayyyy!!! Have just received my new Barefaced Midget, to go with my Barefaced Compact & Ampeg PF-500. Will update with a review of the stack once I`ve used it at a rehearsal, but just felt the need to share the joy today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'll be interested in reading your review. I ask this out of curiosity and with no agenda - why did you feel the need to add the midget to the stack - did you feel the compact wasn't able to do what you needed by itself?

I ask this out of curiosity and with no agenda - why did you feel the need to add the midget to the stack - did you feel the compact wasn't able to do what you needed by itself?[/quote] Three reasons really Paul, but certainly, having used the Compact last night (I`ve added to the review on here about this), it would be able to what I need in all but the largest of halls. I can`t think of a pub that I`ve been in where it wouldn`t be able to cope on its own. Firstly, I`m of the school of "must have multiple speakers". I just prefer the sound of multiple speakers going, than one on its own. Secondly, the Compact is a great cab, but it`s not very tall, and I generally play in punk/rock bands, so want to be able to hear myself, without turning up ridiculously loud (which the Compact will do, btw) and drowning out the rest of the band. I`ve never needed to do this with 410s or stacks, because of the height, so wanted this set-up to be similar. This way, I can have a great sound, hear myself, and also get a bit of "bite" from the Midget to compliment the great solid lows that the Compact emits. Lastly, I`d read reviews of the pair together, and they sounded so good, I just had to do it. Damn GAS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shire Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Mine just arrived too. Will report back once I've plugged it into my Orange Terror Bass when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Looks good... what's the total stack height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nice rig! I've been gassing for a Barefaced cab myself for quite some time. Off loaded both my Markbass cabs this week so am laying down a deposit on a super12T tonight. Sorry for the slight derail - I'm quite excited and had to tell someone!

Damn GAS![/quote] That's exactly why I am interested, too I have rehearsed and gigged my BF Compact now and, in terms of volume, would guess it can handle pretty much any situation. But if I were being totally picky, a little more top end would make it just perfect. I could live without it but, well, do I need to live without it?...

Lozz196 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thats what I found with mine last night, I had to select the Ultra-Hi facility on my amp, to get bit a bit of snappiness to the sound, whereas now with the Midget, I`m sure that won`t be necessary, as it has a real nice "bite" to it on the mids/highs.
