grunge666 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1377169184' post='2184177'] Likewise, I didn't buy the cab to look pretty onstage. If I wanted something pretty onstage we'd get strippers on stage with us. What I wanted an amazing sounding cab that didn't break my back carrying it, and that's exactly what I have. That said, I don't see the cab as ugly by any stretch, it looks great. it's rough and ready, way more rock'n'roll that some super shiny sparkly piece of crap! [/quote] Word!

BassTractor Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Phew! Thanks to this thread I have now deleted my order for two BF cabs. I feel soo relieved, and am very happy Alex was willing to delete that particular order, and send me two BF strippers instead. Thanks, guys! Wait!

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 A few of the strippers I have seen had bits falling off and would look better behind a mesh cloth too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 [quote name='Ant' timestamp='1377082473' post='2183045'] only issue with my cab is that i wish i'd had money at the time to upgrade to the grill cloth!

Kevin Dean Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think the metal grill looks great .I've had speaker cabs with cloth grills in the past ,they look ok until something falls against them in the van . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I know you sometimes see very old cabs with a torn cloth 'grille' but, tbh, I've never known any of mine, nor anyone else's that I know to suffer from this in all the time I've been playing which has included many years of chucking stuff into vans and cars. The vinyl cover to the box gets hammered and torn but I've not known the front grille to suffer. I suppose with a paint finish even tears to the box finish is not going to happen. (Btw, having said all that, I've gone Roqsolid too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloc Riff Nut Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's a long time since I read an 18-page thread. In general Barefaced owners defending their products and some non-owners not liking rating their handles/looks. We also got some quality trolling and a few jokes. That made much better reading than todays paper, thanks for the entertainment. Looking forward to my Compact coming, it'll go nicely with the Midget. I'm usually onstage in an old t-shirt and jeans,and not much of a looker - the Barefaced cabs are positively bling bling next to me(nobody is looking anyway).
