skychaserhigh Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 To say that one or two of these cabs will be enough for ANY situation could be slightly misleading..I've certainly done plenty of gigs where a big rig was needed , especially big outdoor stages. In my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion of course. [/quote] I actually said 'wouldn't need more than two cabs,' but in any case I wasn't deliberately trying to mislead. I have tried hard to make my review as factual and fair as possible (knowing I'd get picked up on every little detail), but obviously there's a case for not proof-reading your own writing. It was also a prediction, not an absolute statement. Clearly I like this cab, but some people won't as their needs will differ. Other cab manufacturers' products are also available and I'm sure some of them are really great. I've used a lot of gear, but I haven't tried it all. Yet.

Telebass Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 This tempts to build a rig consisting of a pair of One 10s and a 250W Markbass head. As efficient as they are, that would be entirely adequate. Not that I can afford any such thing, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've been tempted for a while, but this thread and a few emails back and forth with Alex this afternoon and I decided to give them a whirl. I've been unsure about barefaced cabs in the past due to a gen1 setup I tried a while back, but those had a very different driver, producing a very different tone to these and this looks like such a great portable solution I can't afford not to give it a fair go. When you travel to most of your gigs / sessions on public transport; flexibility, size and weight are key. I'm also confident these can deliver a tone I can use I will add my experiences here in a few weeks Edited May 9, 2016 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Forrer Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I have serial numbers 0057 and 0096 (I think, I'm at work), and power them with a GK MB800 or a GK MB200. I have played an outdoor gig to 2000 people and the sound guy asked me to turn down so he could put me in the front of house mix! Bwahahahaha! I love it! In fact, it's all so good I might sell the MB800, as I also have a CAE line booster pedal if the MB200 doesn't quite cut a gig power-wise. I mostly play double bass these days, but my P with flats rocks it too. Best rig I've had in 35+ years of gigging, during which I've had Mesa, Trace, Ampeg, SWR, Peavey, Ashdown and other forgettable brands.

bagsieblue Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 These do look great indeed and getting rave review. Does anyone have any experience as to how these compare to EBS Neo 110 Cabs? (tempted for a cab overhaul.......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm assuming that the ports on the back are parallel, so if i chain two together it will present a 4 ohm load to the amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I have what might be deemed a stupid question .... if I'm correct the BF uniqueness comes from a cone with a high excursion, i.e. movement on the z-axis or in & out to most of us. Is it possible playing at higher volume that these cabs will move? In my mind a light box & speaker violently moving back & forwards shifting air conjures up all sorts of images of BF cabs roaming the stage like demented Daleks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, BF cabs are braced so the panels don't vibrate, so the cab won't move. All of your sound/volume/tone comes out of the front of the cab and doesn't get dissipated by vibrating the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
