I wanted to upgrade my setup. I originally wanted a tone hammer with a barefaced one 10 but I couldn’t find a barefaced near me to play and see how I like it. I LOVE the tone of the ashdown abm evo IV heads but for home and jamming its over kill. The genzler combo with carry bag came up and decided to give it a try. It’s surprised me with how articulate my p bass is (Bart pickups & chrome flats). The setup is transparent, responsive and articulate even up the neck, something I haven’t heard before. This is the first amp head and speaker where even with my tone knob on bass turned down I get a really full articulate sound, not muddy boomy sound with no note definition. The EQ is near always at noon “flat” I play fingerstyle funk, r&b, fusion kinda jazz lol (melodic phrasing). This setup makes me want to play more jazz melodic music. The sound is amazing. Still trying to see how to get a tad more warmth from this amp and cab. It’s also near impossible to clip the gain light so figuring out configurations. The contour circuit is very useful. The blue circuit to my ears smooths things out where the amber boosts the mids and compresses bass and treble. anyone which a Magellan head or similar setup, what’s your settings like for the genre for funk, r&b, Motown stuff? cheers

so so much. Him being one of my favourite players is an understatement. Check these two videos

I’ve got a stanky face listening to this 😩. Making me want to start locking lol

His one of my favourite!!! Just finished watching this and came to share. Glad you shared this gold of a video.

Yes. The sales assistant emailed back stating they don’t have a documentation of the EQ frequencies

Nik bought my Pedal preamp from me. Extremely smooth transaction. Genuinely a nice bloke. Would trust and recommend him.

sorry for late response I was cycling around London on my Brompton so I was shattered when I got back late. on the issue I think I’m going to return it. I tried it with the iPhone headphone but not for more than 20mins. I’ve got down time today at home with just editing so I’ll do more testing. on the difference in sound. I honestly think the MLD pedal was a little more richer in sound and sound less digital. I’m still trying to get a decent tone from the mighty plug pro. It sounds muddy. Brain tells me to lower bass and increase mids but not finding that sweet spot. If you like the mighty plug pro you will really like the MLD. I think it will shine more on a pedal board rather than a silent practice tool imo. Through a cab is nice tbh. If your amp has an effects loop return then it’s gold.

Thanks for info. I will have to look what impedance my headphones are. I will give the crappy iphone headphones a try and see what happens. I will update later today.

I've not as yet. My Bose headphones are battery powered, music plays whether I switch on the Bose or not, but the sound becomes much louder when I turn on the Bose noise cancelling. I presume they are acting like a headphone amp.

It is under warranty and returns. I've until the 8th of July to return it.

I am not sure to be honest. Some of the suggestions have been helpful.

Oh wow that’s a massive difference to my experience. Extremely weird.

Hey peeps. I purchased the mighty plug pro this month to replace my NUX MLD preamp pedal for home practice. I’m finding that on a full charge it only lasts at most one hour. I connect my Bose noise cancelling headphones and sometimes play along to YouTube tracks. I think this has amazing potential but everytime I get into a vibe or I’ve made up a chord progression it dies. Very dejecting. 😭 What are people getting out of a full charge?

Cheers for this.

I bought the NUX Mighty plug pro this to replace my NUX MLD pre amp pedal. It’s great. Loads of functionality etc etc. Problem I’m getting is it battery only lasts about 1 hour. So just when I get into something it dead. Is this a common thing with this headphone amp? really kills my flow. So much so as I’m thinking of returning it.

Appreciate this. As I was going to work around Camden I went to the bass gallery today. Tried the three cabs with time hammer. Trace Elliot 110, ampeg 112 and Aguilar sL112. Didn’t really like the trace Elliot. Ampeg was ok. Aguilar was very nice. Very mid focused. Warm and articulate. To big and rather pricey for home use if you ask me.

Great shout Dan. I called the bass gallery this week but they stated they don’t work with barefaced anymore nor do they have any in stock atm. Didn’t have any compact cabs during the time.

This is gold.

Cheers. You should give them a try. My mate who I got these of has done vintage Bart’s coming his way and if he doesn’t like them I said I’ll take them. I’ll keep you posted as when I A&B with mine I’ll let one go. That’s if he doesn’t like them lol.

That’s amazing. I bet you learnt a lot. That p bass is not going anywhere now right? lol. I have the classics “8cbp”. It has a buttery smooth treble but with presence. Never harsh. Bass is deep ( I put flats on to tame my bass as I think my Asian ash and maple fretboard caused the E string hard to tame with rounds) and mids can be very articulate, I love to boost mids at 800hz. I play mostly finger style. My misses says when I play melodic phrases with my bass it’s very dreamy and articulate while never being harsh. Chords and melodic phrasing sound beautiful to me with Bart’s. I would presume the lollars are more growly and expressive.

It’s always nice when a change inspires you. I was first looking for Lollar pickups for my 79 Yamaha jap pbass. I kept missing some on the used market. In that time a friend offered me some Bart’s. They sang in a way that inspired me to improvise for hours upon hours. I would like to try lollars at one point though.

more fusion but the synergy and groove is insane!!

Good shoot actually. In central London. Not many music stores are around anymore. Guitar guitar in Camden, the bass gallery, wunjos guitars in Denmark street. That all I can think about regarding cabs. bass direct would be great if I was closer

Thanks mate. Ive started the search for a used one10. Would love to try one but I doubt anyone is near me with one. From what I’ve heard on barefaced YouTube channel it sounds warm yet articulate.
