    I've just had the email to say my new cab should be with me in the next week so I am pre-empting it by putting my amazing Rumble 500 combo up for sale. I've had it 18 months and it has lived in its Roqsolid cover since then. Condition wise, it is immaculate all round. There are some marks to the tolex underneath and I'm guessing that it's when I've set the combo down on a gravel car park but other than that it is tip top. These are incredibly loud combos and if you've never played through one, this picture shows the levels I have it set to for gigs (I don't use the overdrive or any of the shape buttons) [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0067_zpskatuv0gb.jpg.html"][/url] It's rated at 350w on its own or 500w with an extension cab but I've never need to use one. Plus it comes in at a very back friendly 16.5kgs. I still have the original box so posting isn't an issue and I am looking for £400 + £15 postage. Any questions, please fire away [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0069_zpswwjrtpg6.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0068_zpshmqfgdz8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0066_zpscaxl51ju.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0065_zpsy3ziwewy.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0064_zpsffcffoko.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0062_zpszkjwn4fl.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0061_zpsmkctx5yl.jpg.html"][/url]

    Plenty of heft. I'll be surprised if it lasts the weekend before being sold

    Fantastic combos these. light, loud and solid build quality

    I had bought this off the forum to go with my Barefaced One 10 but the long wait has had me looking at other options so I've decided to go with something else instead. I haven't used it since I bought it but it's in very good condition and comes with a brand new power cable. I'm looking for £170 posted or best offer [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0002_zpsjplk5glj.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0001_zpsxxzuofxw.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0005_zpsacq7powk.jpg.html"][/url]

    I found those strings on a single coil Precision tuned down a semi tone were amazing but yes I can't imagine playing these strings at full tension either

    I've had both and didn't think the GK was up to the job. It somehow felt fragile, that if I took it to a certain level it would break. those were just my thoughts at the time so I decided to sell it after a couple of months. It was a series 1 combo I had with matching 15" cab The Rumble on the other hand feels solid and powerful but a level of power that I don't ever need to push it. Soundwise, the GK didn't do the GK growl for me having owned 800RB & 700RB II amps. From what I've heard the MB Fusion gets a lot closer. It sounded plain and kind of meh to me. Might have been the amp, might have been the cab or might have been both. The Fender sounds a better amp regardless of what bass I've used with it. Having said that I will be selling my Rumble combo in a week or so when my Barefaced cab arrives as I want to go even lighter and don't need so much power. I'll put up a for sale ad when I do.

    These basses are fantastic. I've ended up selling all of my other basses now and kept my Sterling. So light compared to my previous SR5 & Yamaha BB1025. Makes long wedding.function gigs a breeze now

    I usually go for designer labels such as F et F, Jorge & Matt Allan

    That's an incredible price for one of these. Been after a fretless corvette for years.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1468762641' post='3093144'] You use a 110 for low B? Be interested to hear it! Basically, my opinion of these is that if you need to drop mid song, then they are invaluable. Any other use, its just as easy to quickly tune down, you'll learn to do it by ear and muscle memory quickly, I can easily just give my tuning key a quick turn without thinking about it and hit D on the nose. I do have one fitted to one of my basses, I hardly ever use it. But they are very good at doing what they do, no complaints! [/quote] I drop to the B for Uptown Funk and Get Lucky. It still sounds and feels pretty good but if you overcook things you can push the string off the edge of the fretboard when fretting a note due to the drop in tension. A standard 130 roundwound D'addario string tuned to B has a tension of 34.5lbs whereas a 110 Chrome string tuned to B is 29lbs so it's not as big a difference as you would think. I don't use mine much either but I was finding my Stingray 5 to be a tad heavy so I went through the band set list and worked out what I needed a 5 for & what I could modify my playing for to see if I could use a 4 instead. Turns out it wasn't as bad as I thought so sold the Stingray and bought a Sterling instead. Much lighter. I had used drop D for years but I had to learn how to use drop B which was interesting

    I have Chromes and use a 110 E string and a Hipshot double stop so I can go down to D and B during songs

    Have you tried Roland UK? I needed a load of bits to repair a pedal a year or so ago and they were really cheap

    [quote name='paul_c2' timestamp='1469116890' post='3095920']out of tune bagpipes is the main reason why people dislike them, its quite a complicated process to get them in tune!! [/quote] So I take it no one in history has managed it yet as they all sound like a bag of cats

    I too had a TNT160 which I traded a couple of years later for a Trace 7210H combo and then added a 1048H cab. At the end of the 90s I bought a Trace 1153 and Gallien Krueger 800RB.

    There's a thread over on Talkbs about running 2x12" and 1x12" GK cabs but I think they were referring to the neo versions but shouldn't really make any difference. The overall consensus was that they worked great together. The 1x12" sat on top so that you could hear it better to make sure that you weren;t pushing it too hard. I did something similar a couple of years ago when I had a Hartke LH1000 going into a Laney 4x10" and Laney 15". I had the 15" on top of the 4x10" so that I could hear the 15" better as it was rated at half the wattage of the 4x10". Plus the Hartke has a balance control so I could send more to the 4x10" than the 1x15" Plus it looked mighty and sounded fantastic [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/20140705_193535_resized_3_zps63b45515.jpg.html"][/url]

    Warmoth necks tend to be pretty chunky unless you specify the tapered option and the build quality is outstanding I've had 2 and both have been flawless plus they have a huge selection to choose from

    I've always resisted going with what I consider the flavour of the month brands - you know the ones that get talked about at great length about how great they are and then suddenly the marketplace is full of them and people are on to the next one. The Rumble combo I currently have was exactly what I needed at the time but is now too big, loud and heavy for what I need. I would have considered that a flavour of the month product but exactly what I needed. Barefaced were at one point what I would consider to be the flavour of the month but I think things have settled down a bit (yes a bit) to the point that they can be talked about with other manufacturers constructively rather than this is the best and everything else is rubbish. I've always went for what I needed at the time rather than the next big thing. It has taken until now for me to come to the conclusion that a One 10 is exactly what I need at this moment in time and am incredibly grateful that Alex has come up with a cab like this. None of the other ones in the range fit in with what I am looking for but this one ticks all of the boxes. Time will tell if it is the one but I am only a couple of weeks away (hopefully) from getting it. I think that anyone who decided to go into business themselves and punch above all the big players in the marketplace and succeed should be applauded. I certainly don't have the idea, drive or ambition to carry off anything like that. Barefaced have created a product that probably most of us either didn't realise we needed or didn't think we'd ever be able to buy. It's not a one size fits all and may not suit what you are doing but it gives you an extra option over and above all of the big box manufacturers. I've kind of rambled but hopefully you get the gist of what I am trying to say.

    I bought [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EQ45Y1G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]these ones[/url] Absolutely rock solid and come with a bag. I'll only be using one so I can put my Hercules bass stand in the bag at the same time.
  21. Delberthot
    That's an insane price for that. If it was closer I'd buy it myself
  22. Delberthot
    According to the website they arrange this and take it off the cost of the item being returned if you contact them first [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/terms.asp"]http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/terms.asp[/url]

    Like the OP I only ever go through the PA so I've ordered a single One 10 with the top hat mount as it's all I'm going to need. I've already bought a good speaker stand and amp to go with the cab. It's due in the next couple of weeks. I had planned on keeping my Rumble 500 combo but when I bought the Rumble I had said that I'd buy a Rumble extension cab for bigger gigs but have never needed one. Worst case scenario I could pick up an Ashdown 4x10" for much cheapness if anything big came up. Personally, if it sounds the same through the pa regardless of what you use then I'd go with whatever sounded the best to me. My stage sound is secondary only to how it sounds out the front and I'd rather have the best sound I could on stage than whatever is easier to carry. The better I sound the more I enjoy it

    Also, the insurance isn't valid unless the bass is in a hard case

    Strings Direct do single D'addario Chromes. I'm using 45, 60, 80, 110 on my Sterling But if you're new to flats then, yes, as with rounds it's all trial and error to get the right sound, tension and feel. I've been using Chromes for about the past 5 or 6 years in different gauges
