I guess it's a sign of the times that there are a number of Barefaced cabs up for sale when previously they'd have been snapped up pretty quickly. I'm happy to keep this if needed but anyone interested enough to make an offer?

I tend to find that the suggestion of cancelling the sale is the acid test. Any serious buyer will usually argue to try and keep the sale going. Scammers and time wasters generally duck out quickly without a fuss. Anyway - best not get too distracted from the sale thread ...

Thank you @franzbassist I've had a couple of nibbles but nothing solid. It sold once on eBay but the buyer raised enough red flags with me I cancelled the sale (payment via PayPal, travelling a long distance to collect at 5pm on a Sunday then suddenly her brother was collecting). If it had been the same story from someone on here I may have been less paranoid about it all!

I'm afraid I don't know much about the history of it but did buy it here a while back. I wouldn't be selling it if it wasn't for the opportunity to try a Big Baby which feels like it should suit my current needs better. It's an impulse sale really and I'm still not 100% sure!

Just noticed how much of an angle the bridge is at (that tells you how little this gets played these days)!

Temporarily up for sale as I've got my eye on a Big Baby 2 which may work better for me as I'm playing more upright at the moment. Not much needs to be said about these - phenomenal cabs and light (around 17kgs I believe). This cab has the tweeter but no crossover installed. I believe it was a custom order to be used biamped. When I bought it I contacted Alex at Barefaced who reassured you could run it fine as a standard Super 12 which is what I've been doing. Comes with the roqsolid cover as photographed. A little wear to both the cab and cover but I'm pretty good condition. Local collection only I'm afraid from Teignmouth, South Devon. I may withdraw this if the cab I've got my eye on sells first. Alternatively if you want to trade a Big Baby 2 then get in touch. I may regret this! It really is a great cab!!!

I've had this bass about 20 years but since I've started playing upright as well it just doesn't get used at all. In fair condition for its age with a number of dinks in the body, a small chip in the nut and the logo in the headstock has separated slightly (this has been the same with no change for as long as I've had it). It's been fitted with some form of pickup which is functional but YMMV. No case and local collection only from Teignmouth, South Devon (just south of Exeter), on this I'm afraid as I can't imagine how to ship it safely. I appreciate that decreases my market considerably so if you want to send me a hard case, wait for me to stick the bass in it then have a courier collect it we can talk about that. I've no idea if I've priced this fairly and I'm always hopeful someone round here will point it out to me on PM if not. Thanks for looking.

Now sold elsewhere.

A bit of interest but nothing concrete so I'm going to be either brave or stupid and try my chances on eBay again ... Would much rather sell to someone here!

Back up for sale again here after I pulled out of what seemed like a suspicious scam of a sale on eBay 😞 Would much rather sit it out and sell to someone here ...

Now sold elsewhere. Thanks for all the interest.

@knirirr I'm no expert and would suggest the buyer makes their own interpretation but I'd say it's an Eb neck.

Apologies for bumping this early but a £1 max selling fees offer from eBay means there is a good chance I'll also end up listing it on there this weekend. Wanted to flag it on here as would much rather sell to someone 'local' to this community.

Thanks for interest all - now on hold.

@lozkerr That could be possible. I'll PM you.

@lozkerr Thanks - I'll bear that in mind but I'm afraid for now I'm going to hang out for a collection. I've seen first hand what couriers did with these last time they were sent and without a hard case or some very thick cardboard it would make me nervous. I don't have an easy source to any thick packaging materials either I'm afraid.

Thanks - I'd hoped I'd priced fairly to sell but appreciate its no longer holiday season and we're a fair bit south. I'll leave it up here for another night to see if there are any nibbles then stick it up elsewhere.

Stagg 3/4 size EUB which I picked up a couple of years ago like a few others on here. I don't recall the exact price I paid but I think it was around the advertised price - if I'm wrong please PM and I'll update accordingly. I'd like to pass this on for the same money I paid for it. First up, the bad points ... I'm pretty sure these were ex music service stock and as such had a hard life. It's missing one body rest. The preamp has had some abuse and both pots don't stop anymore - they continually turn. I also don't think the volume works. There is plenty of chat on talk bass of a simple job you can do to take out the preamp with a single cut on the circuit board which apparently sounds better anyway. I always planned to do this but never quite got there. You may want to do that to circumvent these problems. That said - its functional in that it passes sound through to your amp. I've never used the headphone or MP3 sockets so can't comment on those. Assume they don't work and be delighted if they do 🙂 Otherwise the body and neck are in fair condition with one dink in the body which I've photographed. Plenty of swirls on the body - again, assume this is well used. The strings are some old/new generic stagg or otherwise strings I picked up from somewhere. They're not great to be honest but they're clean and a lot better than the ones that came on it. You'll probably want to switch them out for something better but they work and they're not completely dead. I've gigged this without issues and it was the start of my double bass adventures. Comes with the case and the single body rest. Hopefully the description above doesn't sound too negative - I'm just trying to give an honest appraisal. It's a serviceable start into double bass and could be a good little project. Maybe needless to say, this is collection only from Teignmouth, South Devon. Others may recall tales from when these were originally sold of them arriving in splinters. I've no interest in re-enacting that.
