Ghost_Bass Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ok, first impressions; F*CK!!! This thing can play! It's seriouly loud. One of the things i was affraid was not having enough low end (having owned a Midget in the past) but there's no reason to worry about that. A full range sound, well balanced, enough low end (i say enough because it won't be the best cab for dub) very clear mids and some of the best highs i've heard in ages. Really good, i can't wait to cracnk the volume on tonight's gig! Comparing to the Epis i can say that this cab is more balanced and doesn't suffer from the scoop in the mids that Epi has. The low end is close to the one un the UL212 and so is the weight (i'm a small guy and could carry it during a short distance in one hand). I would say that the Barefaced will cut more in the mix and will sound a bit louder, its all about the mids, the scoop on the Epis is probably the best designed one i've heard, it really sounds great but i prefer that my cabs put out what's going in and the S12 is excelent at that. More to come, still have to pass the gig test! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You gonna be using the Streamliner or the Thunderfunk? The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking eventually to get a BF. The EBS Proline 410 I use at the moment is wonderful with the Streamliner but it's just a monster to move about. If I could get something which sounds as big and as good as the Proline but half the weight and size, I'd be a very happy bunny. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 lol, no man, STL-9.0 means Shuttle 9.0, i believe that the streamliner is named STM-900 or something similar But to answer your question i'll be using the Thunderfunk, i'm loving it, its more open than the shuttle and doesn't sound as compressed but i wont be parting the Shuttle any time soon, it's the best digital amp i've tried and has a very clean sound. I believe this calls for another bit of bass porn: cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on using it with your Shuttle (that's the same one I've got so that'd be the sound I got!) am so tempted!!

Ghost_Bass Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The cab passed the gig test with flying colours. The sound was defined, punchy and with lots of low-end. In fact i used my rig a bit louder than usual and nobody complainted. It was great to feel all that lovely bass sound kicking me in the back. I'm not repeating this any time soon because i came from that gig with a small hearing loss on the higher registers I'm OK now Used the cab raised on a chair and no lows were lost, it could have been a bit higher so i could hear the tweeter better but that could just be me starting to loose that bit of high hearing. Once i plugged it the drummer immediatly said that that was a loud cab, during gig he frequently looked at me smiling and nodding his head. I'm sold on this one, it could have a bit more highs (i'm using the tweeter maxed out) but maybe i'm still not used to it comming from a MidgetT who has more highs. If i ever sell it it will be on the day that Alex can produce a 2 cab rig that together can play as loud and as low as the Super12T. It's still a bit big for me to cart upstairs to my studio...

No trouble handling the big lows of the amp, great clarity and punch, and the potential to go insanely loud. All that with a one-hand lift, plus wheels if you're feeling lazy. And it fits through doors without taking the skin off your knuckles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 No... there's no tweeter on them. It would have to be two 1x12" with tweeter. At the moment the Big Baby T seems the most promising one but at 15Kg it's only 4Kgs lighter than the S12T... i'll wait to see wich new models Alex will produce in the future.

Twigman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 ...after a 13 week wait, I get my S12T on Friday........as you all probably know already.......to say I am excited would be an understatement. I have been cabless since March (!!) ....relying on house gear at rehearsals...luckily we've not had any gigs recently as have been trying to get an album together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjay69 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well not to overload your excitement, but since i had mine i've used it about 10 times and it just keeps getting better and better and i can carry it in one hand (i've waited 20+ years for a cab like this to be designed) praise the lard !

BobVbass Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've had mine a couple of years now and done loads of gigs and rehearsals with it - few chips on the edges but still sounds brilliant and looks great - you'll love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Go for a Roqsolid cover, they fit perfectly and really protect the cab. Love my S12T, the rumours are all true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM SG1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The rumours are definitely true, so much in fact that you become spoilt by its magnificence and take it for granted, there is me enjoying the wonders of my Super 12T while recovering with a busted leg and I had a thought about replacing it with two midgets for the versatility of the two tiny cabs instead of one bigger cab scenario, how pampered have I become that I thought to replace a 42lb (still lightweight) mega cab with two 20lb cabs, it would be nice to have the choice of only taking one cab to rehearsal or small gigs, if anyone has two midgets and wants to do some kind of deal for the Super 12T let me know, alternatively I might just keep my S12T and save a bit more cash to buy another of Barefaced`s products on the basis that you cant have too much of a good thing after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
