    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1409562409' post='2540798'] Rubbish! I've never smuggled a budgie in my life! ...though I did hide a bird in a wardrobe once, but that's another story. [/quote] Yes, she was very disappointed the current Mrs. discreet came home.

    Thank you for your comments Mr. Lukin, sensible as well, a bonus As subjective as sound is, guess your Indo is a little less hi fi that the Italian.

    Amazing bass at that price

    Yeah, I've read that a few times Mark but was a little confused tbh. The Basschat collective enjoyed Marco's contribution but he hasn't been on since March 6th so still not really sure what they are saying about the Indonesian gear. Just really wondering if anybody had bought and gigged the newer stuff, what the weight and tonal quality is like. It seems to have drifted off into a discussion about handles, and as ever somebody chucked an old Barefaced hammering in there . Always interesting to see where threads go, even though Off Topic now scares me senseless

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1409564531' post='2540820'] Karl, you're not buying gear on the strength of its appearance rather than performance... are you?? You should get them Bergs bought and have done with it! [/quote] To answer your question, probably . I refer my learned friend to my personal statement in post #1. Them Berg's will be gone before my BF goes. Mind you, I could spray the grills yellow [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1409564808' post='2540826'] Sparkly grille cloth looks great on outdoor stages, anyway! [/quote] Don't you come on here being sensible, shooting pointless, senseless GAS down in flames

    Hello evbodpeeps. Next year I have a few decent size festivals to do with a second band. As such, being a shallow magpie gear whore tart, I am thinking yellowness would stand out on a big stage a bit better than Barefaced silver cloth vintage. However, old git practicalities still rule as the gear would also need to be used for my other band's weekly forage into various Dog and Duck's (with the occasional Slaughtered Lamb ). So, enough prevarication. I am thinking 2 of them new Indonesian Markbass 2 x 10's at 8 ohms. Anybody tried them, views, experiences? Merky buckets (French tha knows). Karl.

    With the gear you have to sell, you will have a great budget and believe me, with most of the equipment mentioned your back will thank you . Just a thought, you may like to consider used equipment from folk off here with good feedback. Reason is, I always find gear in a shop or at home sounds COMPLETELY different to how it sounds live in anger . If you buy good used gear second hand and it doesn't work out for you, you will lose a lot less money selling it on!!! Good luck whatever you decided to get and enjoy the journey!

    Just a slight word of caution. A lot of us were fit and perfectly capable of lugging 4 x12's, 2 x18's, 4 x 15's back in the day. Now a lot of us are not, due to lugging those cabs up and down stairs 4 times a night for years. Lift properly, learn the lesson us owld gits learned the hard way

    PM's replied, thanks folks. If it doesn't go this week, I shall slap myself for pointless GAS and keep on gigging her

    It would be this one [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/244051-barefaced-super-12-2-x-12-neo-with-cloth-face-vintage-style/"]Barefaced Super 12 (2 x 12 neo) with cloth face (vintage style)[/url]

    So many lovely Bergs up at the mo and these are amazing. Didn't think my Barefaced would be hard to sell, but if it does go in time.................... GLWTS, cracking cabs.
  14. karlfer
    Bugger, that's 2 in a few days. I need to check in more! discreet, you know which cartoon is being thought about don't you
  15. karlfer
    Family and job no doubt Martyn, always the time priority. If that is the case, do what you need to do, but if you have the space and don't need the loot, put these cabs away. You will come back sometime in the future and will wish you still had them. I wish all of you the very best whatever happens. Be happy dude! Bump.
  16. karlfer
    Are the cabs both ER series Martyn?

    [quote name='davehux' timestamp='1409316698' post='2538586'] Has anyone ever mentioned how light these things are I have one of the last S12T's made (probably at the same time as this one) and it/they are total guitard killers GLWTS [/quote] Thank you Marinus and Mr hux moderator sir . I put a link to the specs in post #3, however, for ease, S12 comes in at 40lbs. Your S12T is a monstrous 42lbs

    [quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1409174971' post='2537224'] Does this have a tweeter ? [/quote] Sorry, no tweeter, I ordered it without one as I don't use them. I think the following link is the historical spec before they went to the Gen3. I received mine after about a 6 month wait and a couple of weeks later Alex announced the Gen3 . Anyway, link, [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/super-twelve.htm"]Barefaced Bass - Super Twelve[/url]

    [quote name='Dosi Y'Anarchy' timestamp='1409177724' post='2537281'] Its possible that this was mine once upon a time...I still have the orginal pickups! [/quote] Nope, it still had the original pups when Charlie bought it off me. I'd had it a couple of years, but Mark (Bananaman?) that I bought it off had owned the bass for most of it's life, certainly over a decade. Charlie who is currently selling it changed the generic pups out.. Hope that helps.

    [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1409049484' post='2535731'] Look at some others from roughly the same era, 4 or 5 classics out of 20 in the same week - even though I wouldnt listen to em now - is good going. Back then records were still being bought by people over 40, hence Batchelors in the same chart as The Kinks and The Stones. I thought the Baron Knights were funny, but then I was only 11. [/quote] Long ago, outside a chip shop in Walthamstow............ There's a dentist in Birmingham............ Where are you all coming from? We're from Dartmoor , on the run................ The Barron Nights used to crease me up, jolly fun

    I keep looking at these as I fancy a change from my Barefaced Super 12 Vintage. I've had it 18 months, it's a record breaker . The inevitable question is do I put it up for sale then these go at the same time as the S12V and I have no cab? I am doing a trade next week and receiving a Skyline Bob Glaub, might be safer to wait and put that up for sale, as cabless would be a problem. Decisions decisions . If I did get lucky how would you feel about a meet at Scotch Corner (just over 100 miles each way for me)? Good luck regardless, cheers, Karl.

    Marinus is a top bloke, good luck with the sale fella. Cheers, Karl.
