[quote name='molan' timestamp='1416873562' post='2614689'] There was a nasty period of PF500's going bang. Seems to have been cured now. 2 years warranty through the retailer (technically 6 but tough to claim after 2). The retailer may well go to Polar but it's their responsibility in the first instance. [/quote] Yes, technically it can be up to 6 years for a warranty. My brother found this out when his hard drive failed on his 4 year old laptop and was repaired by the manufacturer, for free under this. Those horrible nasty people at the EU again giving consumers rights

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1416856165' post='2614373'] Oh, and the biggest problem I had shifting my S12T was if I rolled it too fast by the top handle it'd go into a speed wobble... [/quote] You need to get your tracking and wheel alignment looked at

[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1416852148' post='2614310'] "Is it really as simple as that? People with Markbass amps don't like Barefaced cabs?" No it's not Jack. I'm very happy with my S12T / LMII rig. PS - my handles are showing a little wear & tear but my shins remain unblemished. [/quote] We'll need pictures of your legs, shins in particular, otherwise we don't believe you.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1416768868' post='2613392'] I seem to have hit a nerve...... [/quote] Not at all. I neither own, or haved owned a BF cab, nor have I one on order or looking to do so. I think it would be reasonable to say you are one of BFs harshest critics on the forum and I think it's valuable, and only fair, to know from where this criticism is founded. From a personal perspective, as someone who may or may not buy a BF, I would much prefer to read the pros and cons from first hand accounts of those who have owned and gigged them

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1416768282' post='2613386'] Chose not to go with a 'project' I was looking at a few weeks ago and was totally blanked. No texts, emails, nothing. Bit childish if you ask me. [/quote] Na, na, ne, na, naaaaa

...don't they get 'umpy?!?!? I'm sort drifting between bands at the moment and have turned down a few 'bands', 'projects', call them what you will. Anybody would have thought I'd pee'd in someone's beer the response from a few people. Got to laugh

...and they all (however many that is) had issues?

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1416764964' post='2613345'] Did someone mention feet falling off? [/quote] I'm assuming you're someone who has owned a BF cab which needed a replacement handle or the feet fell off.

The Retro Two10, as described on the BF website, is a ported cab that is made to sound like a sealed cab. At a guess it'll look like the majority of all other cabs, a rectangular black box...doesn't make for exciting photography IMO, so no need for pictures of it really.

Lozz and Beedster always seem to buy quality gear, they're happy with the Barefaceds they've bought, , speaks for itself to me...and I wouldn't describe them as fan boys either. Not liking the the finish or sound of these cabs is a matter of personal taste. There are numerous members on BC that dislike cabs finished in carpet, we don't however have threads questioning the quality of MarkBass products on that basis (who incidentally seem to use the same handles).

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1416576304' post='2611621'] 'Pinning' wouldn't help; all that's required is to 'follow' the topic, with one of the options ('Instantly' etc...), and be sure that the Notifications Options in 'My Settings' are ticked for either 'Email' or 'Notification List' (or both..!). Any future posts to the topic will thus be brought to your attention. Hope this helps. [/quote] I personally find the notification list on any of my mobile devices absolutely useless. Tap on notifications and it won't load, it just hangs. I've never been able to access the list on the mobile site...and i don't want email notifications they just clog up my in box. Even on the desktop site the notification list can take ages to load. (and that's on a mac, pc using various browsers, the experience is the same).

I saw him play live twice, many moons ago. Absolutely brilliant concerts. His guitarist, Keith Scott is not too shabby a player

Reet lursh! Very nice indeed, not stop posting clips and pics or I'm going to end up a jibbering wreck of unrequited GAS ...I might suggest that song to might mate who wants to start a band 'doing something a bit heavier...'

Stayed up and watched it last night, very good programme. Really interesting to watch how Jack Bruce played, very much a style of his own. Great tone as well (I liked it). Ginger Baker, unfortunately, reinforced his reputation. He seems to have a very different take on 'history'.

Why do I bother? Gets me out the house....

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1416162542' post='2607496'] Guess this brings out the old what's best the technically superior player who is the commensurate weekend warrior/bedroom player or the multi multi multi millionaire in a global band who hacks at the bass? [/quote] Not really. Most estimates put Clayton's 'net worth' at $150m...which is somewhat behind Marcus Miller who is worth approx $215m. I'll take brilliant musician who is also minted over the slightly less minted hack any day.

I'm shocked that Clayton a) had lessons and b.) possibly got worse as a result.... or am I ?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1415987752' post='2605908'] In 2007 I had a warning for using the word 'tits' on TB. ped [/quote] They weren't aware you were a keen ornithologist then? I find TB too big and unwieldy, that and sarcasm is frowned upon.

He's been putting these types of covers out for a few years now, he used to post them on here. At first one thinks 'wow, how awesome! ' then the novelty fades. Then it's just some dude slapping to every song under the sun. As you can tell it did little for me. That's not to say he's not a very good bass player, I just didn't like it.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1415905262' post='2605158'] Holy mother of God! Those white Spectors are a bit special. [/quote] Someone get a medical professional, this man's GAS rate is likely to go through the roof. 😯

All aforementioned online places have had some succes for me. You get the time wasters, delusional and plain weird but no more than in life in general

A lovely pair you've got there

I always ask for cash now. No matter how specific I was I'd always end up getting something that resulted in me exclaiming "WHAT THE F*** IS THAT?"

I'm toying with the idea of a 1x10 cab for practice with the band. Practice's are quiet and I'd like something small and a 1x10 would be ideal...although a 1x12 is possible I suppose. I'd like a sealed cab as I have a small combo* with a sealed driver in it and really do like the sound. I don't want to spend an awful lot and it doesn't have to break any records for being light . I suppose budget for the driver would be £50-60. Any recommendations? Thank you. *the small combo is too small even for the quiet practices unfortunately.
