[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1381423761' post='2238986'] You need to see a Barefaced cab in the flesh and compare to your Bergantinos so you can make an informed decision before you buy one. As with all gear. [/quote] This man speaks sense

Yes played there a few times and got more next year. As long as you're sensible with the volume and nice to Helen (the owner) they'll be fine. They have a handheld dB monitor as opposed to a power-cutting limiter, the bar is way away from the (tiny, really tiny) stage area and they tend to concern themselves with the bar end. Hope that helps

Super Compact with vintage cloth grille, ordered a couple of weeks back, ETA November

Always happens. Two weeks ago really wasn't looking forward to a gig, ended up being a cracker and I took a 22yr old girl home, haha! The week before the gig was highly anticipated and turned into a bit of a damp squib. Such is the way of the world

With Gen 3 they hope to have fixed this issue, but the feedback is vital for continuous product improvement. I have had to fix feet on a Vintage and my S12 so I understand the frustrations felt, but ultimately other brand cabs have fated no better in our van so I don't lay the blame only at BF

I'm keeping my S12T as well as getting a new Super Compact. Because I am a greedy bastard

[/quote] [quote name='ern500evo' timestamp='1380212700' post='2222420'] Quality answer!! [/quote] But technically incorrect. The drummer from Def Leppard lost his left arm

The new Trace 1518 cab is the best 15 cab they've done IMO, big bottom end with smooth mids and enough top not to need anything else (for my tastes). The Hartke will be fine with it

Whoops. I just sent Alex an email to talk about ordering a Super Compact with Silver grille. Let's face it, based on my experience of the prototype last year (with a ceramic driver) the description of the new Barefaced Neo driver sounds immense

Gutted to have missed it, sounds like an amazing day

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1379600686' post='2214683'] Me too Mert - was hoping to see you.. [/quote] If I can persuade MiniMert to come along for a bit then I will put in an appearance but I doubt I'll be able to. He didn't mind about 30mins of slapping at the 2012 London Bass Show... That's a pretty good threshold of pain...

So it is. I just read Norm's post and didn't do the maths...

Gutted I'm missing this for the 2nd year in a row

15 hours - you're probably getting too much sleep and that (oddly) makes you feel tired, too.

Bought an EBS IQ from Cameron, very pleasant quick transaction, cheers!

Having used both the MB500 and MB Fusion with the recommended GK gain settings and the more "conventional" way of setting things I can heartily recommend the more "conventional" method to being sonically more pleasing to me

When Skunk Anansie played at Brighton Dome earlier this year Cass' bass rig was having issues, again an all-valve head with mic'ed cab. However he DOES DI before the amp as well so despite him having a gig he's probably rather forget he just got on with it and the sound out front was still awesome

Drop the input gain back a touch along with the bass control and the contour ... ?

I think this is the only "big" cab I have serious GAS for now. But I will be strong and hold off for the next gen Barefaced cabs... Or that 1x12 proto if Alex ever wants to sell it (hint hint) If this turns up at the SE Bash I will be even more gutted I am missing it

Er, more helpfully. I like a big round tone with a little bit of bite but I'm not a fan of tweeters. I run my MBFusion almost flat with the deep switch engaged. I find myself preferring the sound and feel of halfwounds to roundwounds though for dirty rock sounds roundwounds are still the way forward IMO.

I always go back to the bass tone on Empire (Queensryche) as my absolute fave but I dig most tones that aren't crap. Award for the most helpful comment won't be going to me this year

Some cracking tunes here guys, I want to do a rock covers band now!!! I always fancied doing some early Def Lep (i.e. pre-Hysteria) like The Overture, Another Hit And Run or Die Hard The Hunter

Sorry, what's meant was Alex would be a lot more honest about his cabs than anyone else! Didn't't really do a good job of explaining that one, sorry... I have an S12 now, it is astonishing. I currently run it with a GK MB Fusion and I love it to bits. I have the balls that the Trace V-Type combo had but with far less weight, a better bottom end and more volume
