llian just bought my GK 212MBE cab. Really easy to deal with - great comms and instant payment Cheers

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1382381984' post='2251560'] Interested to see what the controls/panel look like! [/quote] Recessed black metal plate, 2 x speakons and a big twisty dially thing. Possibly waiting for a sticker to go on it.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1382282899' post='2250044'] Looks great I think my only aesthetic criticism is the silver screws on the speakers, would prefer them to be black. But that's a personal preference... Can't wait for my SC(V) next month [/quote] Easily fixed with a black marker pen i guess.

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1382274780' post='2249898'] That must sound superb given the spec and knowing Alex's fantastic engineering skill. Don't know if you (or anyone else?) would know how this would fare if it were to replace both my Compact and Midget? Having said that I'm still really happy with my setup even after several years of use - and they still look as good as new. Frank [/quote] Sorry, havent tried your combo so cant compare. Ask Alex - he's the best guy to tell you.

Cant pick cast iron up with two fingers though :-) And i am not known for my outstanding photographic skills!

Ok heres some pics. The other cab is a GK 212MBE for size comparison Used it at a gig last night and it was great. It was a weird sounding room playing towards a wall with it perched on an (unplugged) Big One and a loud Engl geetar combo directly under it so not an ideal first run out. It fattened up as it ran in thru the evening and by the end of the night was dialled in nicely with my GK MBFusion and Spector Euro bass. The handles are better quality, the new compression driver is really nice (very musical), the neat little Barefaced logo inside the port is cool, the bandmates cant believe i did the gig running thru something so small, it sounds amazing and its nice to support a small British company trying to do something they genuinely believe in and i am a happy bunny.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1382124839' post='2248482'] No pics = it doesn't exist [/quote] Definitely exists - its sat in my front room with the missus grumbling about it Piccies tomorrow

I collected my Barefaced Big Baby 2 today. Had a quick tootle at home this evening and it sounds great at low level. Big sounding,clear and the range of mid/top adjustment with compression driver is a revelation - goes from old school thump to shatttering high end with a quick turn of the control. Hearing the cab demoed as a PA speaker was cool too, it was crystal clear and sounded immense. Some nice little touches of detail on it too. - like the machined BF logo inside the port and it feels really well built. Thanks to Alex and the gang for their hospitality too. They loaded me up with swag and some spare corners for my Big One while i was there and we had a good long chat about mountain bikes. Alex has a really nice Cotic Soul mtb. Frst gig tomorrow night.

Took delivery of my BIg Baby 2 today - it appears i have number 1. Had a quick go this evening and it sounds awesome.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1382012141' post='2246644'] I already have a 2nd gen Super12T and a Midget T but i really can't help but want a Big Baby 2!!! Has anyone had the pleasure of trying one yet? [/quote] Waiting patiently for mine! Any sign of it yet Alex?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1381319139' post='2237446'] Is Harlow the standard distance from London? [/quote] yes definitely

[quote name='davehux' timestamp='1381296882' post='2237012'] You need to add to a Big One.???? Where are you playing? Jet engine testing facilities? ;-) [/quote] Its more about the headroom really - at some louder gigs it feels like I am cranking the amp without much perceived volume increase. Using a GK MBFusion so getting 250 watts thru the Big One. It was either get a louder amp or an extra cab (which also gives me a spare cab for home use). I can get the full 500 watts now. I also wanted a tweeter so originally wanted a Big Baby 1 but Alex recommended hanging on for a Gen 3 version.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1381304388' post='2237084'] [b]Dear hyena001,[/b] Do you have an ACCURATE weight for this bass? [b]- h4ppyjack[/b] [b]**************************************************************************[/b] [b]Dear h4ppyjack,[/b] No, not really. It's the standard weight of any bass guitar. [b]- hyena001[/b] [b]****************************************************************[/b] [i][color=#ff0000][b]Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!![/b][/color][/i] [/quote] If it helps, its a bit heavier than my Spector (which is about 8.5lbs) but a lot lighter than my Yamaha. Its an easy 3 hour gig bass and really comfy to play. If you want to try one, I am just up the M11 near Harlow - you're welcome to pop round one evening. If you can pick that up for £350 its a bargain imho.

Been a bit quiet on the Barefaced front for the last 24hrs so....... Who's got a new Gen 3 Barefaced cab on order and what is it? I'll go first with a Big Baby 2. Its to add to my Big One for noisier gigs.

[quote name='johnDeereJack' timestamp='1381150095' post='2234949'] I believe this is a Blacktop Jazz Bass. [url="http://www.fender.com/series/blacktop/blacktop-jazz-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-black/"]http://www.fender.com/series/blacktop/blacktop-jazz-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-black/[/url] [/quote] Spot on mate - it is indeed a Blacktop Jazz. I have one and its an awesome bass. Very hot sound and somewhere soundwise in between a Precision,a really fat but zingy Jazz and theres a mutant Stingray lurking in there too. Massive bottom end but a great warmth too. Its a Jazz neck BTW. The picture angles make it look a bit odd but its a standard jazz body and neck just with different pickups. Heres a soundclip https://www.box.com/s/0giiip2y1612vfjh9dix

Interested to see how theyr gonna ship that with the neck off

Old guitar and case Short break holiday New guitar and case

"I was in a dodgy metal band when I was 14 and we played some real dives and inappropriate sized venues. The Standard in Walthamstow springs to mind.. All black painted walls with an enormous ramp the went out into the "crowd". It had the smallest back stage room I've ever seen with the grottiest sofa in all existence..." I played there many times back in the day......i just remember going a bit weird when i stood and played in exactly the same spot as Phil Lynott had stood when i saw him a few weeks prior playing with Grand Slam at said venue. Had a great fight in there once too - real barroom brawling that John Wayne would have been proud of (the singers 50 year old dad was barred for life for trying to strangle a Hells Angel that night). Happy days

Honey, I shrunk the amp
