I thought it was discontinued due to the amp module they used at the time was discontinued, not poor sales. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/official-barefaced-bass-cab-club.868480/post-22406117 Seeing as they now have a reliable amp module, hopefully, they will bring it back. Besides, I think there's more bassists using modelling these since it was discontinued - the HX stomp has become the a staple of many pedalboards.

Hmmm. I wonder why they added this to the 1x10 and not one of the bigger 12XN cabs, especially if it's aimed at amp modelling users? My understanding is that the 10CR series was more coloured and "vintage" sounding, whereas the 12XN options are transparent - indeed, the BB3 and Big Twin are marketed as FRFR. Personally, an Active Super Mini T or Super Compact T would be a fantastic solution.

I keep doing the same thing with my Xivive U4 receiver - I think it catches on my shirt. I've tried wearing it in a couple of places: belt above my rear pocket as well as attached to my jeans front pocket. The latter behaves better but has scratched the back of my bass a little. I just wish they made the volume knob a little stiffer... I wonder if there's anything I can do to rectify it? I remember seeing some rubber washers to fix this issue for stompboxes, but I don't think there's enough space for one on the U4.

We acquired ours from our old CO when my brother and I were in the Air Cadets. He mentioned he had a couple of PA speakers that he wanted to get rid of, and if we could collect them we could have them for nothing. Thank goodness our dad had a Volvo estate!

Correction, yes, they must have been 4x12 stacks - my memory is hazy, it was over 30 years ago! And it was Wem, not Wemm.

I had a pair of Wemm 4x10 columns many years ago in my first band. I can t remember what happened to them. I sometimes wonder how well they would perform with a modern system.

Ours left his drum stool on his driveway last year and didn’t have time to go and get it. After calling a neighbour to retrieve it he ended up using a a couple of stacked chairs to get through the gig.

I also use Fender's guide to get relief and action in the right ballpark and go from there by feel. Their specs work well for me. As far as nut slot height goes, that's totally by feel. I hold the string down at the third fret and then lightly push the sting down directly onto the first fret with my other hand. There should be a barely perceptible movement accompanied by a little 'chink' as the string touches the fret wire. If it moves a lot, it's too high, if it doesn't move, it's too low.

I remember installing an AWE32 Soundblaster card (what a great soundcard that was) in an EISA-based 486 running Windows 3.1. That was painful. I had to boot to an EISA configurator floppy disk to tell the BIOS that I had installed a card into a slot. Only then could I install the supplied Plug and Play Manager from another boot disk so that Dos and Windows could recognise the card. Then there were other boot disks to content with for playing certain games with custom config.sys and autoexec.bat files

Hence why I stated "some" and "marketed as FRFR" to avoid the inference that most or all of them are frfr. https://barefacedaudio.com/collections/frfr-guitar-bass-cabs I'm quite aware that true frfr is a rare thing indeed outside of audiophile circles, not to mention a highly abused term, but even so, the SuperTwin that the poster uses is relatively uncoloured and accurate compared to many other bass cabs on the market. As such, this particular cab isn’t as essential to their tone, as say an Ampeg, or Trace Elliot cab might be, for example, so he might well be able to send a signal from his GK head and get a fairly representative tone in his IEMs. Not exact, but good enough!

Absolutely. I just didn't want to confuse matters, as getting the speaker cab tone to the mixer adds a whole extra level of confusion! @Si600 didn't mention which BF cab they have. Some are more neutral than others (or indeed marketed as FRFR) and don't colour the amp's tone so much. This is one of the reasons I don't use an amp and cab anymore and just go direct from my Helix with amp/cab modelling.

It depends on how much your GK head is part of your tone. If all of your tone is coming from the B3n, then go straight to the mixer from that. If the GK head is an essential part of your tone, then send the signal from that instead.

Well, two really. One of the lead singers dabbles with basic rhythm guitar using a boss acoustic sim pedal. Sometimes, we wish he wouldn't!

Saturday, Redonizm were back at The Cow & Telescope in Southend, one of our favourite venues in the area. Being that awkward Saturday between Christmas and New Year, we were unsure what the turn out would be. The pub was almost empty when we arrived and when my wife, bother, sister-in-law and a coulple of friends arrived around 8.30 the audience size doubled! But we needn't have worries, people started trickling in, including a lot of regulars, around 9pm and got quite busy by the time we started at 9.30. We get to got a little heavier in this place, which is nice, but still kept a few of the party anthems that always work, anywhere we play. In fact, it's getting harder to choose which songs not to play these days! That said, I was hesitant to play Dakota and Sex on Fire that one of the singers had included in the setlist, at this particular venue, as they're done to death (the new mustang sally). But they went down more that okay. In fact the regulars have their own call and response thing for Dakata that made it even better. Like having our own choir. All in all a really good night and a perfect end to the year. This was out 4th weekend out in a row, so set up seemed much simpler, and I wasn't aching as much as I normally would at the end of the night either. I could have kept going for another half hour, no problem. Just goes to show that your body gets used to things after repetition! Got a break from gigging for couple of months now. Time to work on new material, technical stuff and working on marketing stuff, not to mention booking some more dates in the diary!

Agreed I had the Nux mighty plug (non-pro) and the Mooer P1 and the Katana:Go is leagues ahead. I still need to spend some quality time time with it though and dial in some presets that match my Helix presets as close as possible.
