Deedee

Hi all Before and after shots............ My original all Trace set up followed by my latest, an AH300-7 head with a Barefaced Super 12. All the gear shown (except for the Stingray) purchased from, and following the advice of the very fine persons of this site 😍.

Cool 😎

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1384983430' post='2283224'] Looking good! It's a common width that a lot of heads and cabs use, and have done for a while - makes things easier for rack mounting into standard size racks. [/quote] They certainly do look the biz. I think the last time I had/used a separate head it was a huge Peavey thing. It would have dwarfed this cab!

Certainly will. By the by, is it just a happy coincidence that these BF cabs are exactly the same dimensions as the Trace heads???

Hi all Got the cab and it sounds amazing. Could only try it briefly at home (while the neighbours were out) but I'm chuffed to bits. My stingray and the Trace head sound just as I recall, a rich tone with some bite but now a whole lot clearer (and very loud). Extremely happy with both the head and the BF cab so thanks to all for the advice. 😊

Bought a superb BF Super 12 cab off Dean. Great item, great comms, top fella. Highly recommended. 😃

Picked up the head today and tried it through the MarkBass 1x15 I still have. 😜 it sounds awesome. My Stingray through the preshape and I was back in sonic heaven! Can't wait to try it with the Barefaced next week.

Just bought a fabulous Trace head from Andrew. Great guy to deal with, great communication, great amp. Couldn't be happier 😊 Many thanks

[quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1384332093' post='2275242'] Thank god someone said it finally! I've tried just about every TE stack and combo (except the V's) and I've found them all dismal sounding [/quote] 😧 Dismal and under powered...... Really ????

I used a Peavey TNT 115 for years before I went onto Trace gear. Cheap as chips and built really well! Just the job I'd say.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1384381227' post='2276111'] Good man. You have a very similar setup to mine now (TE 250W head into a S12 in my case) Will be interested to hear your thoughts on it when you have a chance to try it out. EDIT: Was it deanovw's S12 by any chance? Good chap to deal with, bought an amp from him a while back. [/quote] It is deanovw's. Can't wait for next week now !! I'll certainly keep you posted on my thoughts. Cheers

[size=4][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]All sorted now chaps. I have a Super 12 winging it’s way to me early next week. [/font][/color][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Many thanks for all the info, it’s been very much appreciated. I’ll let you know my thoughts in a couple of weeks’ time once I’ve had chance to crank it up with the new head [/font][/color][/size]

Not really 😞 What about the BF Compact, or has anyone tried the Aguilar gs112 ?

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1384276705' post='2274752'] One (30cm deep!) Super Compact could handle pubs and small clubs easily unless your band is very loud or amp rather weedy. [/quote] Yeah I was just looking on their site. 300mm deep would certainly not be an issue. Has anybody got one going spare?????????? 😕

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1384273288' post='2274708'] What car do you have, if the boot is a limiting factor? 2x 1x12 cabs may not be easier than 1x 2x12 cab... e.g. the Barefaced S12 fits easily in the boot of a Ford Fiesta so would be fine in the boot of a large saloon [/quote] You're perhaps right. I'm getting a 5 series BMW and although the boot is large, the actual opening isn't as wide as you'd expect. I think the key is the depth of the cab. Years ago I could slide my old TE 2x10 combo into a saloon boot no problem. Now the cabs seem to be far deeper, although the Barefaced cabs don't seem to be as deep. I mocked up a box the other day at 500 w x 410 h x 410 d and that did fit (I went to the local Beemer dealer to try it) but there wasn't a massive amount of wriggle room getting it through the opening.
