I bought two Roqsolid ones for the cabs that I bought, they're great. I then bought another Barefaced (used) that came wit a Roqsolid cover and it's nowhere near as good. Odd.

[quote name='fftc' timestamp='1486383144' post='3231228'] I'm using a Behringer Micromix 4 channel powered mixer just now if I want to play along with something. And I have one of the early Vox Amplugs as another option. I'm just looking for the next step up really. [/quote] Fair enough. Then count me as a +1 for the GK MB200. I have two GK heads and three barefaced cabs, something along those lines would do you well.

For home practice with headphones and an aux in I always use a little mixer. I have a soundcraft compact and a brhinger xenyx, both of which are brilliant. That would be around £30 used or £70 new, so loads left later when you need a proper amp.

Please excuse the blue cable, black one ordered! [attachment=237385:IMAG0512.jpg]

You'd be surprised how little bass you need to hear a bass guitar. There's not a whole lot going on below 50Hz for most of us, and if you're a Rickenbacker/plectrum kind of guy there probably isn't a great deal below 200Hz. Having said that, I assume that if you're thinking about going the route you probably have decent foh subs? If so then you'll hear plenty of LF sound from those and then pick up the detail from the monitor. Unless your stage is HUGE then this normally works really well.

Either head and one or two cabs depending. It's a pretty rubbish picture but there are: GK MB Fusion GK MB150E Barefaced Midget x 2 Barefaced Compact

Mate I love mine, they're great units and a massive step up from my Line 6.

I just swapped my Stingray for Lee's, well, for Lee's Stingray. Basschat makes us do stupid things, right? Excellent basschatter, a pleasure to deal with and fair and honest throughout. Jack

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1484853328' post='3219172'] I used a Stingray with a Gallien Krueger MB Fusion and it was a pretty good pairing imo. [/quote] Me too, great combo. I'll add that it suited my old 1001-ii too.

Just bought a BF Midget from Jez. Great guy, smooth deal, lovely.

I bought Jeff's Dean Sledgehammer. Great buy and a pleasure to deal with, buy with confidence.

I've never thought about it. Just basses, aren't they?

For my sins, I used to be in charge for fleet cars for the NHS, I'm also a proper off road nut who's owned far too many cars. At the NHS, we used to regularly use the demo cars for hauling stuff, so I've got a little experience with this. If you want, I'll upload some 'what fits in the boot of' photos sometime, it's amazing what you can fit in some cars. Anyway..... If it was me buying a car just for this, I'd buy a Renault Scenic. I've had 2, a 53 and a 54 plate as second cars over the years and they're brilliant. I bought mine for £400 and £475 respectively and ran them for a total of 23000 miles without a single repair bill. I'd still have my second if a tractor hadn't ran over it at the download festival. The 1.5 diesel gets 55+mpg and they will hold everything. Everything. I've been to download in them twice with 5 people, 5 tents, 5 lots of luggage and 5 lots of booze. Other recommendations: Nissan Navara - I ran one as my main car for about 2 years, they're great haulers and decent off roaders but they are expensive to run. VW Sharan - My guitarist has a sha-van and they hold a LOT of gear, probably more than my Scenic but I've never owned one so I can't comment on cost or reliability etc. Subaru Outback - My main car currently, massive boot. But perhaps not the best choice if it;s purely for carrying gear.

Yeah, I hate to sound like a stuck record but you're the perfect candidate for barefaced. If you buy new you'll get Alex's amazing returns policy and if you buy (sensibly) second hand then you should be able to sell it without losing any money. If you've really always got a pa system then pick up a Barefaced Midget. It'll do stage volume anywhere and there aren't too many gigs where it wouldn't do at least some FOH duties if you asked it to. 13 posts without pictures, basschat is losing our mojo

[quote name='Callumjord' timestamp='1483801988' post='3210235'] I would love to try a BF to see if the hype really is to be true, looked on their website and the nearest owner to me is a good 3hr drive away [/quote] Where are you? We're not all on the website.
