Asked who? 

 

I've heard that Barefaced are of the opinion that the 12" and 10" do not mix well.

I'm asking about pairing a BF Two10s with a BF One10t, not sure where the 12" comes in? 🤔

And the 4ohm 210 will get 2x the power of the 8ohm 110, so it'd be distributed equally across the 3 drivers.

Thanks

Using the Two10 in 4ohm mode and with the One10 in 8ohm gives you a load of 2.7ohm

 

If you set the amp to 2ohm that will be fine to use them all together.

That's what my limited understanding of ohms led me to think, but I wasn't sure, so thanks for that advice. 👍

This is the setup, which for someone who knows nothing about how heads and cabs work, is confusing to me. 🤔

The Rumble is switchable 8/4 or 2 ohms

The Two10s is switchable 4 or 12 ohms

The One10t is 8 ohms

Maybe. It all depends on the impedances of the two cabs and the minimum load allowed the amp.

 

When cab impedance is equal they share power draw equally. Ideally your 210 would be half the impedance of the 110 but then you may run into minimum load issues.

 

Likely the 110 is 8 ohm. If the 210 is also 8 ohm you have the issue that it is running half power at the same time as the 110 is flat out. With an 800w amp that doesn't bode well for the 110 and you haven't got the 210 working properly.

 

That being the case, two 8 ohm cabs, if you just want a cool 310 tower that is easy to hear there's probably no harm to be done so long as you aren't going for big volume, but you could do very nearly the same output much more safely just using the 210 sitting on a riser.

I suppose I could always just use the One10t (unconnected), as a riser for the Two10s, it would certainly look the part. 😉

I have a Barefaced ONE10t mainly for home practise, and I have just purchased a Barefaced TWO10s for gigging.

My question is:

Could I use them both together when gigging?

They will probably be driven by a Fendle Rumble 800 head.

I'll have this please?

She is a bit like Marmite to many people, but I liked her, and yes, I fancied her like mad in my youth. 😉

Off topic a tad but the Fender 800/ Barefaced 12s is a great combination. 

That's what I'm hoping when the Rumble 800 arrives

To be honest, I got my ONE10 for home use mainly, and its perfect because it fits nicely right next to where I sit in a corner, so no one even knows it's there.

For gigs, I've got a Barefaced Super Twin paired with either a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 or an incoming Fender Rumble 800 head, but it just seems a bit overkill for rehearsals in a village hall, and I don't really want to use these heads with the ONE10 just in case the noisy guitarists push me too much for volume.

This is why I'm considering the Ampeg PF-350 Portaflex because it should only push out around 250w at 8ohms.

I used to use a PF350 through a One10, then two One10s, now one Two10.  I like it!  The tweeter would have been useful in our new rehearsal space last week, as I was having trouble distinguishing pitch (must have been in a null or something).

I have the ONE10t, so I think the tweeter will help, I will only be using it in rehearsals, our drummer is a medium hitter and we rehearse in a little village hall, so we are not competing with mega loud bands in adjoining rooms, do you think the ONE10 will be ok?

I actually contacted Lemonrock a few years ago and asked why they weren't active in the West Midlands, the reply was, "there's not enough bands and musicians interested", and then went on to tell me that I was welcome to join for a fee of about £50 at the time to be the only member in the area. 🙄

Has anyone used a Ampeg PF-350 Portaflex through a Barefaced ONE10t?

Is it a good combination?

Lemonrock was great when I lived in Hertfordshire, and I know its strong in the West Country, but since moving to Shropshire, its non-existent in the West Midlands.

About five years ago I messaged/texted 182 pubs, clubs, etc, I included video and audio links, but only 9 out of the 182 bothered to reply, we got one gig out of the nine that replied.

We were a decent enough band and all the local gigs that we played, we went down really well and as word went around, we were being contacted by venues to play for good money.

So when a band is starting out, its not really about how good you are, its just making that breakthrough onto the circuit that has been occupied by bands playing the same venues for years because landlords and venue owners don't want to take a chance on something new.

Hi Mike, I PM'd you about 7.55am Friday morning, just wondering whether you received the message? 🤔

Thanks for all the replies everyone, I'm not sure how many gigs, if any, I will do in the future, but this might be just what I'm looking for.

I find Bandmix a total waste of time, on the few occasions that I've bit the bullet and bought a month's subscription so that I can message people, I can honestly say that out of over 100+ messages I've sent, I have only had six or seven replies.

Barefaced Audio Super Twin G3 2x12 Bass Cab + Barefaced Cover

I purchased the Barefaced Super Twin cab, along with the Barefaced Super Twin cover two years ago, just before Covid started, and I paid a total of £1,064.00 for them both.

My band split up when Covid kicked in, so it’s never been gigged, but I did use it just a couple of times in rehearsal at low volume, so it’s never been pushed at all, and I still have the original box it was shipped in.

It’s in fantastic condition, but I have noticed that one of the corner protectors has started to corrode which can be seen in the 4th photo, the other three are fine, so I’m guessing that it wasn’t chromed properly, I’m sure Barefaced would send a replacement if contacted. 

I’ve not been in a gigging band since 2019 and at the age of seventy,  I’m not sure if I will ever gig again, so I have decided to move this on to someone who will give it the use it deserves.

You are welcome to try it out at my home in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.

Collection is preferred, but I would consider shipping if buyer is happy to pay the shipping cost.

This could save you a long waiting time. 😉

Here's a bit of "old-school" R&B/Pub-Rock, (think Dr Feelgood).

Recorded on mobile phones, so definitely not hi-fi quality.

Hi .. the reviews for the Rumble are very good so I’m sure this would do the job assuming the band isn’t too loud !

 

I play in a band playing loud rock and use a 600w head and 212 cab but my cab allows all the amp power to be used 

I think the Rumble needs an extension cab to get the full 500w out of it but they do claim to be loud combos so it may be ok 

Ive tried just the cabs and they are pretty decent and light in weight 

 

Someone is selling one on this site for £400 I believe 

 

Thanks for the info 

I play in a classic rock band (nothing too heavy), in medium sized pubs and clubs with a fairly loud drummer, and I've read that the Fender Rumble 500 V3 is pretty loud without an extension cab.

I now need something smaller and lighter, so would one of these do the job?

Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

I asked this question today on the Facebook Precision Bass Lovers group, so I thought I would ask the great BC community as well.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but what makes a Precision bass a Precision bass, is it just the shape?

The reason I ask is because there are so many different pickup configurations such as a single-coil, a single split-coil, a single split-coil + jazz, humbucker, soapbar, etc, most have a P neck, but some have a J neck, then there are the headstock and pickguard variations, active, passive, and so on.

Because of all these variations, they would surely all sound so different, but they are all called a Precision bass, so is it all down to just the body shape?

£1700 with free UK delivery.  

I can't believe this has not been sold, you are almost giving it away at that price, I once owned the same model but with a natural finish, the jazz neck was unbelievably good with lovely rolled edges making it a joy to play.

I've owned quite a few Fender P's over the years including a few top end models, but for me, none compared to the Lakland P's I've owned.

Surely someone will snap this up soon!

GLWTS.
