QUOTE (BottomEndian @ Feb 19 2009, 03:37 PM) It'll be far too much fun with valve amps to not make it available! Aaaargghhh! Gutted I can't make it over to the bash, and I'm only 30 miles away. Is it actually going to be ready for 1st March?  No, it's coming as in going to stay part of the line-up, whilst I think I might completely drop the 2x12" cabs - why use two twelves when you can use one fifteen and save weight and cost? It isn't going to be at the NE Bass Bash though! Alex |

Have I used a colloquialism unheard of out of the NE? To 'tap' someone = to politely make a request or to ask a favour of. I understood you perfectly, but I'm a fellow NE-er (although I live 20 metres south of the Tyne...). I think the vast majority of the denizens of the interwebs would understand "I've already tapped Alex" to mean that you had... (how can I put this politely and delicately?) ...ploughed him. |

QUOTE (warwickhunt @ Feb 19 2009, 03:57 PM) To clarify; I did ask Alex if there might have been a cab or two available for attendees of the NE bash to try but Alex is trying his best to complete orders for people asap so it would be unrealistic to expect him to drop paid work to let a few greedy Geordies paw over his cabs.  Well, the first Vintage off the production line is destined for my greasy paws, so the next time there's a NE bash after this one, I'll do my best to make it available to those who still haven't experienced Barefaced by then. Let's spread the love. But not too much, eh warwick?

The Vintage sounds like my kind of cab. Unfortunately, unless you start charging mere pennies, and I mean pennies, for them, its going to be a long time till I get my hands on one. Or 2, or 3, or 4, etc.

If you made the vintage a couple of inches deeper, would it make it go lower, or would it just toally mess up the port tuning? And as a small run builder, is that the sort of shenanigans that are possible?

And as a small run builder, is that the sort of shenanigans that are possible? Because of these drivers' characteristics it doesn't really give you enough extra bottom to be worth the effort. Even increasing the enclosure size by 50% only lowers F6 by 5Hz. Simply turning up your bass EQ by 3dB will get you that extra extension without carrying an oversized cab (and with the Vintage's sensitivity you can afford to add some bottom without running out of power).

 "Contact barefacedbass@gmail.com to join the vintage party" You might need an 0900 number there instead maybe, Alex?

Alex me to since the matamp isn't anything fancy design wise its essentially two high powered speakers in a well made box. i'd love to see what kind of frequency response it gives though |
