[quote name='alexclaber' post='624808' date='Oct 13 2009, 11:15 AM']How ridiculous does that neck look?! Thankfully it doesn't feel anywhere near that long...[/quote] You're right, thats absurd, I cant think you want to be seen to be that daft. Obviously the best course of action is to give me the bass and you take up banjo, after all you wont have room for such a positively obscene neck in your house for much longer, once the midgets start to breed....

I'll let you know when the first coax tweeter one is ready for you to have a play! Alex[/quote] Hey I see a "bass-off" in the very near future there matey... I know just the competition Am very interested in the coax one of these to be honest (so is Plux, but to be honest I think he wants the entire range), if only as the perfect cab for rehearsal spaces and very small gig(lettes?).

Damn and thats not showing off? Some really in your face playing there. Got to admit though I love the way it stays totally in the groove too. Respect!

I'm usually very close to flat. I tend to add a tiny bit of low (really its not much at all, not even 5 mins past the hour) esp if I'm going to be sitting on the bridge pup a lot. I quite often dial in a similar amount of VPF too, just a smidge, once I can hear it doing something its enough. I hate too much salt and pepper in my food too.....

[quote name='mikek' post='624647' date='Oct 13 2009, 01:12 AM']Thanks for the photos 51m0n. Blurry or not it's the first time I've seen a finished Midget![/quote] It sounds great too, really pokey for a silly small box that weighs like a packet of cornflakes! Alex ran both in a stack and I reckon that would cover most small to medium gigs. They dont have the HUGE low end thud of the vintage or 2xCompacts, but I wouldnt have expected that. They do have enough low end (hey I'm a believer that too much low end on the gig is a recipe for disaster) and plenty plenty punch though! The ones with the concentric tweeter should be sreally really really good though (IMO)! I also think Alex has got the aesthetics spot on now, with the metal corners, very pro badgery, and the Vintage stylee cloth, they all look superb!

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='624374' date='Oct 12 2009, 08:32 PM']I know, I'm scared to use my compressor pedal now in case he sees me. :ph34r:[/quote] Quite right too! Maybe next time I'll show you what I mean, get a bunch of pedals and a couple of decent rack comps and cop the pedals with the rack comps. Then show how much more useful a rack comp is, blah blah blah. Ending with my usual rantasm about the stupid pedals (apologies one and all!). Then again maybe not!

More piccies! Jakesbass - I want some of what he's having Another view of the Barefaced cabs:- Blurry Barefaced cabs:- Mine and Plux's Rigs:- Ped showing us what we're all missing! Plux making sweet music (or something....)

[quote name='Shockwave' post='624188' date='Oct 12 2009, 05:27 PM'] A few people know exactly what it is. Its a first for Barefaced.[/quote] Big One 'Plus' with the variable tweeter goodness going on?

[quote name='Hamster' post='624210' date='Oct 12 2009, 05:57 PM']When you asked him for a pink sequins and diamante finish I never thought Alex would do it for you.......... [/quote] Coffee, meet Mr Screen......

Is a Big One or a Compact? Oh, a Vintage? Too big for a Midget though....

[quote name='alexclaber' post='624047' date='Oct 12 2009, 03:09 PM']Following Ped's V-bass demo, if I was a modelling type of person I'd definitely be leaning that way - what an amazing piece of kit! Alex[/quote] +1

Blimey - you learn something new everyday

[quote name='jakesbass' post='623860' date='Oct 12 2009, 12:01 PM']Damn I knew I forgot something important!! well next time. There's loads more info where that lot came from. It's quite tough to pitch it to so many people because there is a wide variety of standard.[/quote] I'll have to get you a copy of the Plus Tech Squeeze Box album, there's some really choice bass & drums & melodies on there! Mad as a ferret in a hot air ballon mind

[quote name='Ray' post='623908' date='Oct 12 2009, 12:58 PM']Does this still apply if the pickups are wired in series?[/quote] I would think so, its as a result of the pickup position along the string, and the way the two sources are out of phase with each other as a result of this position. Nothing to do with how the pickups a wired up electronically.

[quote name='mikek' post='623679' date='Oct 12 2009, 03:16 AM']Do my eagle eyes spot a Bareaced Midget on top of a Compact in the right of the top photo? Does anyone have any more pics of these?[/quote] Yup, and yup, but they will probably be rather blurry (dont know what was up with the camera/operator ) I'll try and sort it out this evening...

[quote name='Rich' post='622302' date='Oct 10 2009, 10:37 AM']I love where I live, but on occasions I just hate being so far from London. This is one of those occasions. I would have given arms & legs to have been there. [/quote] It was awesome (sorry to rub it in but I gots to tell the truth mate )

Thanks to all of you, really really enjoyed putting names to faces, spending a day getting my ears battered by a superb array of basses and amps. Best thing in that department though is that for me, my favourite bass there was mine, and my favourite rig was.... ...mine (woooot! GAS-less on the bass and amp front still, result!!) Was hoping to allay my Discombobulator gas only to have it fired up to truly scary proportions, and completely new and previously unknown GAS for a Deep Impact now (doh!) The talks were super informative, particularly enjoyed Jakes (damn that's a wicked bass mate!), just have to work out how to make my ears as golden as yours now: seriously chaps he worked out a nice motowny b-line off a CD that he'd never heard before just hearing it once and played it straight back,he didnt show this party trick to you lot but I had to go and get a plaster for me chin! Thanks to all of you for putting up with Plux and me making the most of an opportunity to be proper noisy together - must have been dreadful for you all! Cant wait to see you all again next year. Si

[quote name='jakesbass' post='621845' date='Oct 9 2009, 05:30 PM']Hi Guys, just a quick request to anyone coming to my workshop, it would be handy for the purposes of demonstration if you could bring a random piece of music (cd or summat) as I would like to play for you guys a piece that I've never heard before in order to demonstrate the importance of ear training. Obviously the chances are that I will have heard some of the things that you may bring but I'll be honest and if I've never played said track before I should be able to show you how quickly a well trained pair of ears can analyse a piece. Cheers in advance. Jake[/quote] Errr I just remembered something dasterdly in my CD collection - you mind if I bring it?? :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Hope your good (dumb comment #46 of the day I know ) or some swine he will bring something utterly unfathomable! <Brain/CD collection wracking begins!> On another note both Plux & I will be there, all the gear is now completely blocking the hall - Its like a tiny Berg warehouse
