  1. Dave's still about and very active; doing resprays on at least two Basschatter's instruments as we speak!
  2. [quote name='Paul vezzo' timestamp='1462201127' post='3041035'] Hi, is the bass active or passive? no battery? by paul [/quote] They are active (with battery) BUT you can bypass with control and then use traditional tone control.
  3. [quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1462200460' post='3041027'] Based on photos, I think neck pickup is a Dimarzio (fairly sure), bridge may be a Seymour Duncan (more of a guess). I think these are non original for the model. Should be a nice playing axe. GLWTS [/quote] My research has the pups pegged as that as well; 99% the previous owner has upgraded the pups. I'm no guitar player as such but this is so easy to play, the action is as low as and comfortable.

You can use either/or as a synth and/or guitar; lots of good reviews and clips on youtube but I did a short clip for our guitarist to demo a song idea... patently not 'my' song!

  5. Good condition with original moulded fitted case. Trem arm is here as is the rear spring cover though it isn't fitted as the screws are misplaced (just regular little self tapper type). Lovely low action, plays beautifully. I've researched these guitars to find out how old this is and to identify the pups, there are so many models and I don't think one or poss both pups are original, though they sound great and tbh I could be way off and they might be original. The coil tap pot doesn't appear to be switching off the coil, it sounds the same when you push/pull.

  6. Love the attack and variation in tone... I also play with fingers or thumb... but NOT to thump it!
  7. Is that a mid switch or pup selector? Also is it vol/vol or vol/pan?
  8. I bet it's a Fender!
  9. They are however lush basses!
  10. [quote name='Xsterling' timestamp='1462005343' post='3039444'] According to de serial number it was made in 2001, if that matters. [/quote] Makes no difference at all; the first ones with the bridge mutes 'might' command a slightly higher price but 2001 has no redeeming merit so it'll be the same as the ones for sale on here at the moment £600-£700
  11. [quote name='Xsterling' timestamp='1462003119' post='3039415'] Hello, Can anyone tell me which was the original price of an Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling and the current value? Num. F03832, made in USA, blue pearl body with black pickguard and switch selector, rosewood fretboard, original case. Mint condition, of course! I'm not trying to sell it. It's just curiosity! Thanks! [/quote] Unsure of the original price back in 93 when they were first produced but £1200-1300 new now. A quick search will reveal them selling on Basschat for £600-800 but folks have asked for up to £1000... they tend not to sell!
  12. Rich bought a RW Jazz from me and the transaction couldn't have been smoother.
  13. [quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1461700048' post='3036960']P.S. I think the BF haters on here either clearly have a hidden agenda and will most likely be somehow allied with another cab company or shop OR should simply be considered internet trolls. Nothing they have come up with has been based on real life experience with any current Barefaced cabs, it is all copied hearsay nonsense and should be regarded as such. [/quote] Define 'BF hater'! I've not liked any of the products that I've tried (and yes I have tried a few) but I don't hate BF... the ones I've tried aren't to my taste, end of. Likewise I'm not allied to a brand (owned many inc' Tech Soundsystem, Aguilar, Bergantino, EBS and most recently TC RS) or shop and I'm certainly not an internet troll! However, it seems crazy that when someone asks for 'an opinion' that those people who don't speak favourably of the brand might be considered to have a hidden agenda. Though to state that my (or other's views) must not be based on real life experience and is in fact hearsay is frankly ridiculous... and should by your definition be regarded as nonsense. Sorry Dimarco but you have a very high opinion of yourself and/or a low one of others and your statement has a touch of; he who shouts loudest and last must be right.
  14. A sensitive 8ohm cab will be as 'loud' as a 4 ohm cab with less sensitivity... added to which more drivers/displacement means you will think you are louder. You don't say what power your amp is but with cabs of equal sensitivity you might have to have your amp turned up a fraction more for the 8 ohm cab... things are never as straightforward as 'X' v 'Y'!
  15. Boss OC2. Had it 30 years and it has never flackered!
  16. Superb cabs and a pair are greater than the sum of the parts.
  17. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1461523615' post='3035417'] No coz I keep trading lol or using funds from sales [/quote] Use the funds from your Ray sale next then.
  18. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1461522310' post='3035390'] I'll never have funds that high,I wish [/quote] You must have spent FIVE times that much in the last 12 mths alone!
  19. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1461520844' post='3035367'] Nope never tried a zon always out of my price range, bet it sounds great [/quote] You keep buying these 'bitsas' and cheaper basses (other than the £800-£1000 you've had lately), you need to try and then buy this.
  20. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1461512800' post='3035284'] Wow [/quote] A bass you've not tried... can't be many left!
  21. [quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1461518476' post='3035332'] Guys, as i said in my post, there is no "plunge". Although I have yet to test it, the site states and others have pointed out elsewhere, there is a 30 day trial period, which appears to allow gig play as well. Try it, if you do not like it, return it. Other than some inconvenience t send it back, I do not see there being an issue. [/quote] That's a definite plus point. Just for clarity though it does require you to pay up front and wait for build/delivery and if you don't like it you do need to pay £30-£40 to send it back. To some a small price to pay and to be fair it could get costly if Alex had to take it on the chin for the cost of every return but it isn't a trial without any cost. A small point is that you do need to actually speak to Alex about your needs otherwise the 30 day trial is negated.
  22. [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1461483014' post='3034890']Have you ever heard or read of anyone not liking a Barefaced cab?[/quote] I've not liked any that I have tried, they 'lack' a quality that I don't hear in them and that included the ceramic loaded cab that did the rounds BUT that is just my personal taste. I have no axe to grind with Alex or his company and there are a LOT of folk who do love the BF sound, I do however think that in the early days there was lots written about the fact that Alex was revolutionising cab design and building them from the ground up (my words) rather than copying badly thought out dated designs that had no basis in acoustic design. I recall many threads before BF was even thought of where I would hear Alex, Bill et al rip into poor cab design and give us valuable insight into how it 'should' be done; hence Alex went off to plan BF and many of us waited to see what would transpire. Several years down the line we have a BF 4x10 that looks exactly like every other 410 and yet that very design was criticised and lambasted by Alex et al for being the antithesis of all that was bad with bass cabinet design. Alex has every right to cater to what others want/expect but for me personally other than maintaining the use of the lightest materials and superb bracing to make a cab uber light (is the 410 light?), BF has drifted from where I imagined it would go. Just my own personal view of the BF story.
  23. The ones that I've tried don't do it for me but each to his own.
