Salt on your Bass? Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi all, I'm looking at putting a rig together sometime next year, comprising of a barefaced S12 or 15 with something like either an OTB, Streamliner or GK Fusion. Sold all my gear recently to free up some cash (OTB and compact). Whilst its pretty vein, I'm not sure on the grille cover so wondered if anyone fancied showing off their vintage/vintage styled rig with a micro on top? Does this look weird?! Is a big cab and micro weird?! Interested in anything form a Terror bass down! Plus Its always noce to see some rigs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yep...doesn't look right to me. That is aside from the Class D micro thing as well. My No 1 rig is a big block and cabs anyway...but that is because it sounds the beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I don't think [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/pyfmzxtmo7eqzwu/TC_BF.jpg"]this[/url] looks weird. Blurry yes, weird no.

Salt on your Bass? Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hmm, yeah probably not the best time to chuck up a 'show me your rigs cause I'm curious!'. Yeah, that looks pretty tidy though! JTUK, thats a mesa rig? I was toying with that idea for a while, but price point is a massive issue for me. I never really noticed much difference going between my ampeg SVT3 pro and genz shuttle 9 when I changed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Actually it isn't Mesa, sorry, I used the term as the amp is big head but it is a DB750 thru 2 DB210's. I think it is a more modern and usable take on the big Valve amps and weighs almost as much due to the massive power stage. It is part of my anti Class D/NEO thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Markbass F1 on top of an Ampeg stack is about as silly as you're gonna get looks wise. Didn't bother me having it behind me! Sounded immense too Added a bit more attack to the standard SVT hugeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'd be tempted to velcro tiny head to the side of a big cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I use a LM III sitting atop a Barefaced Big One (with the vintage fabric front). It doesn't look 'traditional', but I'm not generally looking in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Does it look weird. Yes. Do I care? Not really. [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/image-1.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimryan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Kinda does in that pic. Not in reality I'm afraid. The cone's a bright orange. Looks fantastic. Sounds monstrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pretty nice looking rigs. Anyone rocking a GK or F1 then? I agree, thats probably as daft as its gonna look.....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Although I don't use a micro head myself, see this thread for a pic of my cab with a little cute amp on top... It's even [i]called[/i] a Vintage, so you can't get much more "vintage" than that! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/191022-used-a-barefaced-vintage-last-night/page__p__1859523__hl__vintage__fromsearch__1#entry1859523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumperbob 2002 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 How about this one- retro cab is a Hartke Hydrive with custom cover.
