I had an old Acoustic amp - first impression was "wow, this is loud and it's only on 4". Reality was that once it got to 5 and beyond it didn't actually get any louder. I've not owned a Trace amp, but I've used loads in rehearsal rooms, shared backline gigs etc, and not once have I thought "wow, that's loud". I have though - on many occassions - thought " eurgh!"...

Look like the original 1x15 Compacts. I bet that rig sounds monster.

Kinda the 'creme de la crap' looks-wise. IMO. Or maybe it's just me? I can't stand the current trend for cabs that look like a 1950's T.V. either.

Trouble with this though, is that the cabs will almost certainly be in parallel - not series.

When this happened to my <2-year-old FENDER guitar combo, I used Evostik. Seems OK so far...

Are you overthinking this? Me, I'd just use the Ashdown/Tecamp rig

Anything at https://www.axesrus.co.uk/Barrel-Knobs-s/1943.htm any good ?

I like the cut of your jib sir !

Don't get hung up on specs or what's in the box - it really doesn't matter. Just get an amp that you like.

This old chestnut again... https://barefacedbass.com/technical-information/mythbusters1.htm

2 x 8 Ohm cabs will present a 4 Ohm load to the amp.

There's a thread in this very forum on a 12" cab build. Well worth a read. The current (G3) barefaced 12" driver is, AIUI, a tweaked Eminence Kappalite. Previous Barefaced 12's used an off-the-shelf Kappalite 3012HO I believe.

Small but important point...The OP's smaller cab isn't a 110. It's a pre gen3 (1x12) Midget - a quite different beast. There's some info re: the Compact/Midget pairing at https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/midget.htm

Can't say I blame him.

Plonk a nice heavy amp on top. Sorted

The things people find to fret about...

That's exactly how I do it. Not sure why, and for me it's nothing to do with orchestra's.

No, not just you.

That's fine if they'll play ball. When I contacted them about my sticky stand they weren't even slightly interested...

Once, in the '80's, my Acoustic head went up in smoke. Literally. No spare. I've carried a backup ever since, and never needed it...

A bit of a moot point if you use a debit/credit card, as they don't debit the card until the goods are despatched.

Removed, after thinking straight...!

Mine too. Zoom B3 with either a dedicated patch, or one of the 'virtual pedals' assigned to an EQ 'pedal'. Just mute eveything to swap basses.

EQ pedal? Multi-fx unit? Loads of possibles, none of 'em necessarily correct/best/easiest...
