    ^^^ I wonder where that's going... Any particular reason why you are particularly interested in buying new? 2nd hand will give you so many other options, and a second hand cab at least has its speaker properly broken in

    [quote name='Dsmnoisemaker' timestamp='1471381513' post='3112730'] no they didn´t respond to my mails [/quote] Try Bass Direct again, I think that it is the ideal avenue in the UK for you as it will be surrounded by pedals and gear this works so very, very well with.

    LOTs of interest, but at the moment it's still here! Cash very much preferred at this stage

    The Standard series circa £2k is as cheap as they go.

    Hope it works out for you

    Darkglass Super Symmetry Compressor. GAS for a Vintage Ultra has become unbearable so strictly in line with my self imposed pedal number limit, something has to give. This is a great compressor, but I can get by without one for now. Pedal is in great condition with velcro on the bottom and perfect working condition. Picture on the board:- Specs [color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]THE UNIVERSE IS THE LIMIT[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Designed and built in Helsinki Finland, the Super Symmetry offers all the transparency and precision of the modern compressor. Also, the envelope effect of it reminds all school compressors.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]DIMENSION[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]12×9.4cm (4.72×3.7 in)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]FEATURES[/size][/font][/color] [color=#232323][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Blend[/font]: Mix between the compressed and clean signal, ideal for fast compression adjustment (to reduce it you can dial back the blend and avoid messing up with your input and output levels).[/size][/font][/color] [color=#232323][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Input[/font]: Adjusts the input gain on the compressor. Besides working great for ensuring clean operation, it also allows for adjusting the threshold over which the compressor starts reducing gain. Higher input settings will result in higher levels of compression.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#232323][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Attack[/font]: Sets the time under which gain reduction begins.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#232323][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Release:[/font] Sets the time after which the signal goes back to pre-gain-reduction levels. Higher release settings will hold the compressed signal for shorter time.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#232323][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Compression[/font]: Sets the amount of compression (Gain Reduction). It interacts heavily with the input knob (the higher the input the earlier and harder the ratio knob will compress).[/size][/font][/color] [color=#232323][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Output[/font]: Sets the output volume level of the unit.[/size][/font][/color]

    [quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1471169027' post='3110914'] Cool Maybe it's time to think about others not on my list. The only thing is that unless it's Ampeg or Ashdown then it's difficult to try any of those other brands out first. I am now going to look at: Eich T 300 Taurus BL450 Gallien Krueger MB Fusion Bugera Veyron 1001T And then part of me says "just get a Gallien Krueger 700RB II". It is a lot bigger and heavier than the others, I can't sit it on top of my new cab and I'd have to keep using my stand for it but I know this amp, I know how good it is and I know that I'm not going to get exactly the same sound from any of the MB series [/quote] Buying second hand not your thing? If it is, much easier to try before you buy for a lot of the more obscure brands

    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1471122166' post='3110720'] A Tecamp Puma 300 - or Eich - would make a cool mini rig. Really like my 900 very much indeed. [/quote] Seconded. There is a Puma 300 in the classifieds too, an excellent amp. FWIW, I don't use barefaced, but the Puma kicked a GK MB Fusion out of my rig due to it being bettered on every level, I anticipate the Puma 300 would equally blow away an MB200, certainly worth looking into

    [quote name='maldy' timestamp='1471076366' post='3110341'] Well it seems the price of these has 'universally' gone up to £949 - which to me is quite a big jump. I definitely was contemplating getting another, but I don't if I can knowing that the price used to be £70 lower. [/quote] That, together with the QC issues littered throughout this thread, should put off most BC'ers I would think! I don't follow Fender much, but the way they have gone about this bass is frankly odd, from every perspective.

    [quote name='ebenezer' timestamp='1471003518' post='3109917'] Just for info, i played through a 112 ext and it was combi speakon.....ie jack and speakon [/quote] Cheers
  15. Kev
    It is rated as 600w at 8ohms, so I would be surprised if there was any amp it couldn't handle in truth! But I have not used either of those amps.
  16. Kev
    I assume they are combi sockets but I have only ever used Speakon. PM me any offer, but bear in mind I only reduced it a couple of days ago!

    [quote name='tertiumquid' timestamp='1470925219' post='3109379'] Where are you Kev? [/quote] I'm in Leamington Spa, and in happy to travel to meet up for a sale, say a 50-75 mile radius ish.
  18. Kev
    Still available Let's try £450!

    Auralex Gramma pad, recommend them for that Alex?
  20. Kev
    Can he stretch to a 2nd hand Ibanez fanned fret model? He will really benefit from a multi scale bass for drop tuning a fiver.

    Bump Trade for Bergantinon CN cabs considered.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1470687854' post='3107723'] I`d say probably at GK owners who do lots of gigs with provided rigs - this will give them the facility to send their GK sound to FOH so they can always sound like themselves. That`s why I have the the Aguilar Tonehammer DI pedal as well as the Tonehammer amp - no matter what set-up I`m using the audience always get the sound I have on our recordings. Sure the on-stage sound might be a bit different but that`s just monitoring for me, it`s out front that counts and now GK-ers will be able to do this. [/quote] Best explanation of it so far, I can see its use in that regard
  23. Kev
    Oof that's a bit different, can't remember seeing a natural finish Z2 before, or a passive one. Lovely!

    [quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1470612992' post='3107161'] Kev, Please try reading my post in more detail before posting a reply that gives the impression that you haven't been concentrating. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding. Or I'm drunk. Frank [/quote] Apologies accepted

    [quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1470609753' post='3107137'] Look, I've no doubt that the TKS 112 are great cabs. They use the same drivers as some cabs I've owned so I know from my own experience that they must be decent cabs. But I haven't heard them, so I can't comment based on personal experience. However, compared to the Barefaced BB2, ( also the other 12" driver cabs that use, for example, the Eminence Kappalite 3012 drivers) they just cannot compete on performance. In the words of Bill Fitzmaurice: "The laws of physics aren't swayed by opinion." Frank. [/quote] Laws of Physics? He is saying he prefers the tone of his TKS cabs, he isn't disputing Barefaced's claim on volume? Perhaps 12 inch speakers or that number of speakers are the issue here, maybe try different speaker sizes or 212's? I'm not so familiar with the TKS range to suggest any other cabs they do. Probably steer clear of Barefaced if the tone isn't doing it for you.
