Ditto here too. I bought a replacement driver from Lean a couple of years ago. Top notch service. Sounds like it's still that way! Recommended. Cheers Geoff

I use an OTB with a Compact, and it seems to do everything I want tonally and volume wise. It's great being able to give the Compact a good workout with the Orange. Recommended Cheers Geoff

All very strange indeed. After reading issue 2 I was considering a subscription, glad I waited now. Cheers Geoff

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1333808104' post='1606786'] Another Bareface endorser here. Compact is superb. Midget is awesome. Compact + Midget is cab Nirvana. [/quote] Oddly enough this pairing never really did it for me, so I sold the Midget and bought a second Compact. Now that is a pairing! Cheers Geoff

I've not used any of the Orange cabs. However I have been using an OTB500 with a single BF Compact, and it pretty much satisfies my needs tonally and volume-wise. And together they weigh 17Kg. I cannot imagine needing any more volume than that on stage without completely deafening the rest of the band (along with myself). The OTB is able to supply 500W into either 4 or 8 Ohm load, and this suits the Compact perfectly. I'd thoroughly recommend a Compact. Cheers Geoff

I've enjoyed issues 1 and 2 - when is number 3 likely to hit the virtual shelves? Cheers Geoff

+1 to the Terror Bass through my Compact: never fails to please me. Also use an Ashdown ABM500 which is a totally different sound, but just as addictive. Both heads sound very loud through single or two Compacts. However, at the moment the TB plus one Compact is a winning combination. Cheers Geoff

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1332252185' post='1585572'] If it's 500W at 4 ohms, it'll be somewhere about 330 - 350W at 8 ohms. [/quote] That sounds about right to me....

I've done exactly this with gear from Thomann on a couple of occasions, no problem. Cheers Geoff

I've found that proper setting of the input on my Evo amp has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the valve drive and the compressor. Cheers Geoff

That's a nice budget to have. Have a look at the Ashdown ABM line, and is well within your budget. There's also a new 1000 version on its way, similar price to the M6 I believe, and lighter than the 500 which I have. Cheers Geoff

I have a Highway 1 Jazz, and love it. Great solid construction, finished nicely too. It's got a tight, growly sound which I find addictive. Alternatively, have you considered non-Fender P or J models? Some great ones to be had for the money. I have 2 Vintage V4 P-copies and really rate them. Cheers Geoff

I reckon this will get loads of interest in the For Sale section.... Sorry!

I'm sure there is someone in the music fraternity that can get you some, although that price does seem high. Oh sorry, I misread the thread title

Fans on my evo 3 are whisper quiet.

As ever you should give it a try before you buy. I have a TB500 which I use with a Barefaced Compact (sometimes two of them) and its a great pairing. I have lower gain valves in the amp which does give more clean before it goes into saturation. However I also like the original ones. Cheers Geoff

Anyone tried one of the new class D micro plectrums?

[quote name='Alec 'Aleb' Mills' timestamp='1330728662' post='1562423'] I'd love an excuse to get one. played through an ABM 500 a few times and sounded fantastic! [/quote] That's the perfect excuse!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1330688962' post='1561564'] Does anybody know if Roqsolid makes covers for pointy blue picks? [/quote] Yes I ordered one but it got lost in the post.

In my quest to lighten the load, I'm looking forward to the release of the Barefaced Pick - light, loud and small.

[quote name='twentyhertz' timestamp='1330640165' post='1561000'] Are the blue pointy ones reliable? I'm gigging next week and need to know whether or not I should take a backup with me. [/quote] I've seen reports of early versions inexplicably cutting out when digging in, although it seems this is only a problem when using two 4 stringers. A single 5 or 6 stringer seems to be ok. Check the revision number, or maybe ask over at TalkBass? I'm sure there's a wealth of experience over there...
