Barefaced Big Twin 2 G3 + Rocksolid case - *SOLD*

I wasn’t taking the fosters. I just much prefer trumpet to guitar for a jazz lead instrument.
-
I quite like it. But I can't help feeling if the keys were replaced with an actual piano and any melody guitar was swapped for a trumpet then it would be an absolute banger.

Very little treble / high mids.

It's definitely one of those. They've been mentioning it a lot on IG.

Anyone else annoyed by FB groups?

It's a depressing nightmare. Once a year in our village there's a beer festival over 2 days. It raises some money for local charities, there's some village rugby, bouncy castles for the kids etc. It's a nice day out and in the evenings there's some local bands and a bit of a disco. Every year the same very few people try to complain about the noise, call the police (who tell them to not be silly), and moan about it until bonfire night when they set off fireworks and get upset if people complain about them. My suggestion of booking a proper Motorhead tribute so they could have something to complain about didn't go down very well! -
I might start using a pick! Sparkling!

But would they get personal experience of the quality of those local services? In fact - they may have already done that, but wanted those personal experiences as well. There's no way to tell. -

Not to mention that many simple questions are asked because the person doesn't actually know the best way to ask for help. A 13 year old asking "What is the best pedal for rock" has an entirely different view of what rock is compared to a 60 year old who after playing double bass for 40 years has just got his first bass guitar and he caught a clip of Black Sabbath on youtube. There are countless threads on here where a simple question has been answered with another question for clarification - and that has allowed the person asking to better explain what they need. Gaining knowledge is a linear process. -
I never used to use them. Either my cabs didn't have them or I turned them off. But now I've got one in a Barefaced One10T and it sounds much better with it on. No brittle highs, just a more complex and pleasing tone even when I'm using flats on a P with the tone down a bit. So, as per Bill's post ^, I suspect my past cabs just weren't as well designed.

Great idea - we can have a "Please confirm you have read every sticky on the site before posting a question of your own" tick box to demand compliance. Sounds like a great way of growing a community! [/sarcasm mode off] -

So what? Some people want human interaction rather than a search engine. For some people who live alone it might be the only non-work human contact they have that day. For those who work at home as well it might be the only human contact on that day of any kind. It might be extremely beneficial to their wellbeing to even engage with another human on something as boring as a power supply. Asking what you think is an inane question does you no harm at all. But not asking it might do them harm. You seem to be obsessing about this and that is not good for you. People are different. I really don't understand the love for football / baked beans / Jeff Beck / Jaco Pastorius / etc but they make other people happy so that's ok with me. Accept that people are different and let it go. -
AFAIK they are still concentrating on the USA due to supply chain issues. I believe @agedhorse is the man to ask though.

Boss Waza Air now available for bass. Personal Amp System.
fretmeister replied to dave_bass5's topic in Amps and Cabs
Lovely! I've ordered the guitar version as I want that too and after more research I have discovered that the Flat setting is very usable for bass with a bit of compression. I don't need anything more than that for bass use. -
They do. Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is a famous user for the brightness, but they get old and thuddy like John Deacon after a couple of weeks solid playing.

fretmeister replied to dave_bass5's topic in Amps and Cabs
Has anyone got a list of the bass amps and effects on the Bass version? I am in two minds about whether to get the guitar version as I play a lot of guitar as well, and it has a flat setting for keyboard / bass etc, but I can't find a list of amps / effects for the bass version to compare. Can anyone help? -
Definitely Rotos!

I have fewer than 50 people on mine and I know almost all in real life. And I also use the Facebook Purity browser plugin to clean it up a lot more. Adverts / Keywords / Subjects / People I might know etc etc. All vanquished. -

Perhaps the person has googled but in the 20 million results there were dozens of different answers and they don't have the personal knowledge to know which is the right choice. At some point we have all been that person. Far better to ask a group of people who have more personal experience than trusting a random search engine. Being welcoming to people in a community is part of being in that community. Discussion is part of being in a community. If someone has a problem with such questions perhaps that community is not for them. There is little more off putting to new people than the 'elders' mocking a person for not knowing something. That sort of thing actively discourages the next generation and ends up killing the thing we love. Either answer the question properly or scroll past and ignore it.- 54 replies
