Hi just after some thoughts from folks out there who may have owned both a barefaced and a markbass 4/10 at some point. I'm on a budget, looking to buy used and wondering if if the more costly, but rarer Barefaced is worth being patient for, and waiting/saving longer for compared to the markbass equivalent. The BF 4/10s don't seem to come up very often used...... which might be an obvious indication how brilliant they are. The Markbass 4/10s do seem to come up fairly frequently on here, and Facebook marketplace, within 30 or 40 miles so from where I live and seem more 'get able'. So yeah in summary......if you've got experience of both cabs and were due to buy one of them again would you:- 1) be patient, save up and keep an eye out for a barefaced 2) go for a markbass given they are likely to be a bit easier on the wallet and my fairly basic ears won't notice much difference 🙂 I know ideally I'd play through both but I think that's unlikely to happen anytime soon and it can be slightly awkward blasting away through a 410 in someone's house anyway. Portability is not a major issue as the cab will sit in our rehearsal space 99% of the time. PS - there are loads of reasonably priced Ashdown ABMs out there as well. That's prob a third option. Hope this is a relatable question. Thanks.

I have a MIJ squier jazz which is not labelled as Silver Series, but it's definitely MIJ. Its an E serial number and I seem to remember seeing Silver Series instruments on here with an E serial number too. So what you are being told seems feasible to me.

Yeah I think they look good. Just surprised they haven't caught on. Well under 20 kilos is a cinch to move

Ah ok thanks 👍
