I just really like the look of it , But perhaps i'll stick with what I have ...thanks for your comments .

Do you think this set up would be loud enough for pub gigs 80 -100 punters ? baring in mind the sensitivity of the cab & the power of valves ?

I think i'll order the 12" & compare is to my Barefaced compact

Have you seen the review above with Nathan King (Marks Brother) above .

Copied ..What gets me really angry is when these people get caught ..not a lot really happens to them not really ..I hope you get the stuff back .

Has anyone used one of these ?

I'm going for a horn in a separate box . a mate of mine who use to work for JBL is going to wire it all up for me , Ive come up with a couple of designs so it can be attached & removed from a cab & change the angle . I'll post some pics once done .

It's like a Trace Elliot Bright box

looks like the PJB earbox might be an option

Ashdown great range of UK made stuff , great support & will do custom stuff .

I use to have a TC 250 head & next to my Ashdown it just just sounded very very thin , I'd agree with the above & from what I've seen the 2nd hand Ashdown & Trace stuff seems very good value .

I spent most of my life doing original stuff , working out new covers takes me ages As I think when I was doing my own stuff my mind would work differently letting my imagination take over , I get frustrated working other peoples stuff out thinking " what the flip are they doing " Once I've worked out one or two songs by the same artist /bassist I do find it easier .

I HATE!!!! working covers out takes me ages & I HATE!!! it even more when a band member says "can we drop this one"

I have lights but a lot of pubs down my way already have lights ,So it's worth asking .

The down side is that they don't sound great but if they are just your personal monitor for the synth they might just give you enough to save you spending a fortune. There won't be a huge effect on your bass sound either. Power handling isn't great, they are usually rated in the maximum voltage they can handle 25-35V rms which equates to around 100W at 8 ohms, synth puts out a lot of power into the horns. The simple solution is to wire two in series ( I can hear Stevie and BFM flinching here as this is sooo wrong acoustically) It will work though I've got a box full of these in the loft , if you want to try and are happy to pay postage pm me and I'll send you a couple gratis. you can try them just resting on the cab and build a box after if you are happy with how they sound. [/quote] Thanks very much for your kind offer , I've got a couple of friends that run PA hire companies & they are giving me some stuff to try out .

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1473019538' post='3126173'] The super compact has a usable frequency range up to 4khz. I'd be surprised if you couldn't dial in the top end you are looking for with a decent eq. [/quote] I better explain my situation . I really like the actual bass tone I get , But in an attempt to cut down on gear I have to lump around & for speed of setting up in small pubs I've re programed my Roland Gr55 so all the synth sounds go through the compact instead of a monitor , Sound out front sounds fine as its gong through the PA tops I just want a bit more clarity from my side for the synth stuff .It will be nice not having a monitor in the way when a small tweeter will do, built in or separate .

Thanks for every ones advice .

Most other Brands make cabs that are easily stackable , I was thinking of getting a midget but my PA head won't balance comfortably on it . I'll probably look at some other brands & sell these .
