I have never broken a string but I always carry a spare set with me just in case...there's always a first time for everything and you never know when it might happen

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1387145567' post='2308787'] I'm sure that cab performs excellently! For me the finishing touches would be black screws, different badge/repositioned. However, I can't get over how good the amp would sound,work and look with a pair of DB212s [/quote] Yes, black screws would be a better choice I agree...I'm sure Alex will listen and add this to his list. Well, with a pair of DB212 it must sound huge too, never tried them but I have to say with a DB410 I didn't like it as much...and I'm a huge Aguilar fan, have used their amps exclusively for over 4 years!

I haven't had any experience with previous generations of Barefaced cabs so I can't speak about those but, generation 3 cabs I have tried three different models and they all were really well built and, by no means looked or felt weak/flimsy. I come from having owned many cabs previously (Bergantinos, Aguilar, Ampeg, Hartke, Genz Benz...), and yes, maybe the tolex for some will make the cab look better and I understand the finish on Barefaced cabs might not be to everyone taste but, in fact I much prefer the look of the Barefaced cabs and I don't have to worry about ripped/marked tolex any more. Can things be improved/changed on these cabs? I'm sure some aspects could, nothing is perfect, and Barefaced seem to have been taken on board comments and work towards improving their product. All the QC issues on past genarations of cabs have been addressed on the Barefaced Generation 3. In the end I went with a Big Twin 2 and, so far, I couldn't be happier, I love its tone and the versatility of this cab with the added crossover. It's ultra loud and handles all my effects with no problems (octave, distortion, synth, chorus, falnger...) I have to say I have always been a big/heavy cab kind of guy and I have always had my doubts about lightweight gear, but this has been an eye opener for me and, for now, I'm not looking back. ...and they are not that ugly, are they?...at least to my eyes [url="http://s105.photobucket.com/user/PauBass/media/photo2_zps73b0b12c.jpg.html"][/url]

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1386857000' post='2305423'] I really don't understand all the passionate hatred being spread on here. Forgetting for a moment that it is directed at a fellow BassChatter. We are all entitled to our opinions of what is good/bad gear. We are not entitled to ram it down everybody's throats on what seems to be an almost daily basis. Hey, I tried some stuff out when I was looking for a cab a couple of years ago, and there was stuff I didn't like, stuff I thought was overpriced tut, and stuff that was just plain bad. If anyone asks for a recommendation I'll be happy to make a suggestion. What I will not do is ridicule, exaggerate and prattle on like I've got some kind of hidden agenda over and over again. None of this is helping the OP in this case, and every other thread I read where the B word is mentioned. For the record, I've had 5 niggles with my 63 reg BMW since I purchased it (September 1st), blowing exhaust, broken xenon light and 3 separate rattles. Each time I went back to dealer who apologised and fixed it. I have had two niggles with my Super12 in 2 years - handle worn, still functions but looks tatty, I asked Alex who said he'd replace them with new ones (at cost). The other thing is the rubber foot, which I carelessly bashed on a step - Again Alex was more than happy to fix it. I have had both of these issues with many other cabs. Both companies were apologetic, responsive and offered a solution. I also had a Rickenbacker once. [/quote] + 1000

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1386842481' post='2305142'] [i]I only meant I see the adulation starting again, I have never contributed to any of them, I have my opinion but I accept and tolerate others. The way I see it, as with any other bit of kit, it's very easy, if you like those cabs fine, if not fine too!... But stop telling people how amazing you think they are, we all have different tastes and opinions and respecting them should be paramount! I have never seen so much hype talk about a brand, some ridiculously enthusiastic comments....and having recently tried two of their cabs and heard about the myriad quality issues on this forum I understand it even less.[/i] It's not that different - is it mate? [/quote] Wow that must have taken you ages to write! Anyway, please, quote me one post, if you can, on which I have hyped Barefaced or made any ridiculous comments. On the other hand, I could post quite a few from you slagging the Barefaced brand off just because you don't like it...not liking something it's right, but some attitudes are not, I'm afraid..

I only meant I see the argument starting again, I have never contributed to any of them, I have my opinion but I accept and tolerate others. The way I see it, as with any other bit of kit, it's very easy, if you like those cabs fine, if not fine too!... But stop telling people how sh*t you think they are, we all have different tastes and opinions and respecting them should be paramount! I have never seen so much bad talk about a brand, some very nasty comments....and having recently tried two of their cabs I understand it even less.

Good luck, I hope you get it.

I found it hard to believe too, I have been using 610 and 412 cabs for the past few years, now I'm more than happy with my new 212, I haven't lost anything other than weight. In fact I can hear myself better than with any of the other cabs I've had in the past and the sound is even more present anywhere in the room...this is not just me talking, band mates and friends in the audience have all comment on it.

....and here we go again 😳

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1386748901' post='2303879'] Hmmm, I've just voted and it says 712 I've noticed that if someone tries to vote more than once in a day, it will tally that vote immediately, but then subtract it again once you refresh the page. Anyway, I've been voting most days. Good luck! [/quote] This has been my first vote today and it said 712....what's going on?

And my third vote today is on

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1386416975' post='2299836'] DB750. Best around, IMV. not entirely SS as it has a large valve pre stage but the back end power is THERE... [/quote] Yes, DB750!...It has such a big/powerful sound, nothing Ive tried has come even close and [size=4]I have tried many, many amps (EBS, GK, various Ampegs...), for me this is the one [/size] [size=4] [/size]
