[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1464881044' post='3063479'] I've actually owned one and disliked it but looking at the replies the fan club have given other people I decided not to say anything before, now I have I will be put on the naughty step with a few others, must be my amp, bass,playing, venue, cab choice for genre of music before it being not for me,that said I sold it on after six months of struggling with it without any problems or losing much money. [/quote] You have just announced your not liking of a Barefaced cab ...out loud on Basschat... *puts on crash helmet and waits for the fan club to wade in* Is anyone else going to the shops...??

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1464872740' post='3063352'] Who made you the boss of the internet? [/quote] This...made me laugh so much...!! Just got a triple pack of Jaffa cakes...half price from Tesco !

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464799104' post='3062696'] Nah, as we all know Macca likes a nice 'woolly' tone so is an Ashdown fanboi. [/quote] No , he plays through Mesa Boogie gear.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464794255' post='3062635'] Ha! I notice one or two members who usually like to chime in on a Barefaced thread are here conspicuous by their absence. Perhaps they are on holiday, or something..? [/quote] Or maybe its because being shouted down by the fan club becomes tiresome ?

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1464790983' post='3062584'] No he couldn't Marshall don't give kit for free. The artists pay for it. They get a lot of support for tours etc thrown in, but they pay for the gear. Ashdown don't give it away free either. [/quote]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464733418' post='3062097'] Not at all. No other 210, 410 or 810 have the same spec as the Barefaced versions. It's all on the website. [/quote] Ok then ...you know what I meant when I said 'more traditional' as opposed to the others in the product range...

I'm not bashing the situation at all , just contributing to the discussion on if he paid full price or not. I always like to see British companies doing well and I hope these endorsements turn out to be profitable for him. It's also interesting that It's the more traditional type of cabs he's gone for , they would be my choice too.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1464730632' post='3062037'] Is that true? [/quote] Well It's on the Barefaced website...

Well he does have the endorsement scheme where the cab is free in return for high profile use and exposure....

But surely everyone knows that a One10 cab with a Class D car radio amp is all you need for any gig.....?? I'll get me coat....

I had a TNT Black Widow combo for a few years many years ago. I always found it to be a bit boxy sounding and compressed too much as it got loud , so hopefully this amp sounds a lot better. What are clown buttons by the way ?

When I used class D amps , I could get an ok sound but it felt empty. Going back to my older amps gave me a better sound with that full fat bass feeling that drives the band. This is my interpretation of 'Heft'.

Ampeg SVT 6 pro or Ashdown ABM300 plus Tech21 VT Bass pedal with either amp for me.

G&L really are great basses , their playability is just superb.

I hear mixing bins is a bad idea...2 the same should be the way to do it...

What's the weight like on these.....?

A bit heavy at 5ib ....only on Basschat....

A1 Music...i wish music shops were like that nowadays !

My choice would be a 210 to go with the 115 cab.

I got confused and thought you meant the Def Leppard track...I'll get me coat.....

I never understood their popularity either. But saying that you don't rate the Stone Roses in Manchester is a bit like saying you don't like Barefaced on Basschat..

@Grangur...no offense meant...I was just making a point too !

Weight isn't a big factor for me. I always used valve or hybrid amps then tried the class D stuff for a few years. I eventually went back to my bigger older amps because to me they just sound and work better for me. I don't consider them particularly heavy. I used Hartke cabs for years , some heavy some not. I then used Vanderkley for a few years. Great well made etc cabs but I went back to Hartke because I prefer the way they sound to me. I don't care if they are technically better or worse than others , I use what works for me best. I also spend a lot more time playing through my gear than carrying it so to me , weight isn't the main factor when choosing gear and I know a lot of other people who think the same.

@Grangur , Don't you help with your band mates gear then , just carry your own ??

Casters make no difference to the sound in my experience but make moving it around is certainly more convenient !
