Hi mike,not quite the same as your situation but it may/may not be of interest to you! I had a super 12t and then brought a big twin gen 3. The bt is defo a’bigger’ softer/fuller sound/tone I suppose whereas the super 12 was more’in ya face’ middy.harsher if you like,less ‘oommphhh.interestinly I still found myself using the super 12 more as it seemed to cut through and I could hear myself better onstage.moved them both on in the end .i now have a bb3and a super midget .A more flexible solution for me I have found.Either one or t’other depending on gig situ and together they sound somewhere in between ,the super 12t and the big twin gen3 fuller sounding that the super 12t .In reality the bb3 more than covers what I need .im talking pub gigs and theatre shows aswell.How’s that for a technical response 😂!

My apologies to franzbassist then for derailment of his thread with my totally uninformed comment and I’ll remember to consult you hellzero before I ever dare post on here again to make sure I have my information correct 😁..oh and sorry to all the manufacturers too! over and out x

Yes I knew tc had done it but not’many others’ so prehaps I should get out a bit more.congratulations mate,you’re obviously much more enlightened than myself! X

Hope you get the problem sorted out.i notice you say it has a built in tuner,hallelujah!! At least one manufacturer has some sense.can never understand why most of them don’t offer this.think it should be pretty industry standard these days on amps!

Hi,I have an older gen2 super12t and a bb2 gen 3 .both great cabs.the bb2 I actually think has a fuller smoother sound whereas the 2x12 is more harsh/middy but still cuts through.lugging wise the bb2 is easy to carry weight wise but still large enough to be awkward sometimes so I’ve ordered a super midget to pair with it for bigger gigs and hopefully use the midget on its own for rehearsals/small gigs.i use the bb2 with a tecamp puma 900,so 600 watts going into it at 8ohms.plenty loud enough really.great full range cab.i don’t think you’d be disappointed with one.cheers jeff

Forgot to say I’ve been using a tecamp puma 900 for years which is fantastic and I’ve yet to try anything better but....

Hi all,in my quest/wish to achieve an all home grown set up I’ve come across these but haven’t had time to try one yet.I prefer a clean/quick responsive type amp but not averse to being able to dial in some grit at all.i use barefaced cabs with tweeters.many years ago my first proper amp was a laney pro bass combo which served me very well.Any thoughts /experiences would be appreciated please.I noticed andertons in Guildford sell them which is pretty local to me. the videos I’ve found are informative but just wondering about real word experience/reliability etc. any comments greatly received.cheers

+1 to all the above comments. Second to none for customer services imo

Played a one hour set at the marvellous festival near Bracknell/Wokingham way with ‘ no jacket required ‘ Phil Collins tribute.sun was shining,crowd were fantastic and the backstage crew and organisers were brilliant getting bands on/off with minimal hassle.all round a very enjoyable time! Great stuff x😊

Although I do own American and Japanese basses,these days I pretty much always use British gear .wal/status/barefaced but like you Chris b I can’t think of/haven’t tried a decent lightweight amp built in this country so still use my tecamp puma 900 which I have to say is a fantastic bit of kit..if a decent British built non valve head came on the market I definitely get one! Aren’t barefaced developing an amp??

Glen frey ‘ the heat is on ‘ and Phil Collins ‘sussudio’ are great bass lines of this type to emulate

Well I never had the pleasure of meeting him,but sounds like a wonderful guy.A great loss for the bass playing community and may I offer my sincere condolences to all his family and friends x

I have these on my swb standard Chowny bass and definitely make the bass sound tighter and punchier to my ears.i upgraded to damarzio pickups aswell.great little bass.in fact I prefer it to the swb pro I brought on here too!

Really wanna try one of these!

Looks great with loads of features and undoubtably berg quality,just wish more amps these days had built in tuners like I believe their other one has? I also can’t fathom why they don’t put the tilt back casters on more of the cabs? Basic stuff really but think they’d sell more products if they did

Think you’d do alot worse than try a barefaced bb2

Fantastic! May the bass be with you my friend x

Hey Tim,pretty sure they use 45to100 sets.i asked the same question

For me it’s a Wal into a puma 900 into a barefaced bb2 or super12t.thats all I’ve ever wanted really:-)

Wow this looks interesting! Love the form factor as opposed to standard 4x10 units,think the extra height would help you hear it better standing nxt to it and defo easier to get through doorways etc.Now if it only had tilt back wheels and a top handle I reckon it would be pretty well perfect.only 47lbs for a 4x10 ! Crazy! Would love to have a blast on one:-) x

Done a gig in dorking last weekend, keyboardist left his pointy edged stand leaning up against a circular shelf around a column.muggings here turned around,nudged it slightly and it fell and smashed on of his keys to bits! (Keyboard was in a soft case on floor) luckily after a while he got over it and actually played a blinder on said synth! Said nxf time I’ll bring a hammer and bolster and tap a few more if it gets the best out of him!! :-)
