Duarte Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I can safely say that this setup kills. My first 'proper' rig, seems to do the job as far as volume is concerned!

MarkG3 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Nice! +1 to the thumbs up lol, is that a super 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duarte Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Super12, with tweeter yeah! Sounding fantastic I'll give it a proper test drive when the band is together, but I've been shaking the house - it's really superb. Superb 12.

Salt on your Bass? Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well done. Very nice set up. If you havent killed a small animal in 2 days, youre not doing it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Lovely stuff mate. Really tempted to go Super 12 myself, would love to get my hands on one. Glad you're enjoying the new toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duarte Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 What really impresses me is the versatility of this. I heard that the terror was a 'one trick pony' with a pretty useless EQ...this couldn't be further from the truth though - the range of sounds from the amp, cab with tweeter and the EQ/3 way switch on the Sterling is unbelievable. Grinding pick tones, sub-bass reggae and dub tones, sizzling and aggressive slappy tones and polite folk and jazz tones all from this. It really is near perfect. Once I'm home in birmingham, it's going to have a good workout with rehearsals and gigs, and I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Great looking rig. I think the OTBs reputation as a one-trick pony is slightly misleading. I had one, and used a Precision through it. No matter what eq I tried, it always sounded like a Precision, through an OTB, just with more mids/less mids/no highs etc. Now that isn`t really limited in my opinion, it`s more that it has it`s own identity (just like the Precision), and no matter how you set it, it remains sounding like that amp. Rather like Ampeg really, a signature tone. I`m sure having a Sterling, with so many variables, means that many great tones can be coaxed out of that rig - nice one.

Raggy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 What a great looking set up. I've been through so many cabs and the barefaced stuff is just superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I want a barefaced cab so bad!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Very tidy rig indeed. Love the BF cabs, although I have a berg (if I could have had a super 12 with a years interest free that's what I'd be using) but have never had the chance to try the orange head. Looks killer tho and will undoubtedly get plenty of attention at gigs. If it doesn't just slay them with volume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyc Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ahh I'm a couple weeks away from getting my Barefaced S12, seems like such a long wait Can't believe I've still not heard the Terror Bass yet, gonna give it a go when I pop into the Bass Gallery in a week or two.

And I will be pairing it with a Bass Terror! Can't wait. [/quote] The terror interests me... It has a a lot of fans and is a way to get a loud Orange without the vast cost and weight of their all tube heads... ATM I'm far more leaning towards a GK mb fusion 500.... the EQ and dual channel features are sweet. I've heard the Orange EQ is perfect for some and less perfect for others... I think I could get great results from either... The form factor is sweeeet (GK is about the size of a netbook) and is lighter... One of the reasons I got interested in Barefaced in the first place. Will the compact notice the 'bright' setting (a boost at 10 KHz) ? I doubt it. It'll give me the thick bottom end I need to get groovin' though!
