    [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1510243468' post='3404960'] And Haltwhistle is such a convenient half way house! [/quote] Indeed! Leave it with me and I'll do what I can (like put both of my existing cabs up for sale!!).
  4. Conan
    Never thought I would sell this cab! In fact, if Greeneking's EAD Foundation sells, I will withdraw this immediately. This is a late Gen 2 model, so it has two speakon connectors - [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/compact.htm"]http://barefacedbass...nge/compact.htm[/url] Light as a feather but as loud as a drunken elephant in stilettos . Beautiful rich, full tone but no tweeter, so glistening top-end sparkle may be slightly lacking for some people (not that I have noticed). The cab is in excellent condition and comes with a Roqsolid cover with blue trim/piping. It has been used regularly but never abused. I am the second owner, after mcnach of this parish - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/276246-barefaced-compact-g2-roqsolid-cover-sold/page__p__2966326__hl__barefaced%20compact__fromsearch__1#entry2966326"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2966326[/url] I can post at cost, but local pickup or meet up preferred.

    This is the original version (the newer version is slightly smaller) but with an adjustable (and defeatable) tweeter factory-fitted as an optional extra. It was made in 2014 and has been owned by several BC members already. It measures a little under 30" high x little over 20" wide x 15.5" deep and weighs a very manageable 17kg due to its Neodymium driver. Pretty much unmarked as I've only gigged it twice and occasionally used it for rehearsal, and has always lived in its snug-fitting padded TKS cover. New, when available, these cabs cost close on £700 with the adjustable tweeter (+£75) and padded cover (+£50). I no longer have the original box, but could cobble together some packaging if required for shipping (which would be at the buyer's expense and risk). Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England, but I regularly travel west, so Cumbria and South West Scotland are feasible for delivery or meet up. I could also deliver/meet within a reasonable range of The Toon (to be discussed!). A fantastically powerful and articulate cab that is lightweight and very manageable. Beautifully made, and just oozes class. Cash sale only please - no trades. If I didn't need the cash I'd be keeping the cab!

    I would suggest that the difference between seven and eight is very small, but I won't! I understand, and good luck. I may put some of my own gear up for sale to see what I can do..... I [b][i]really[/i][/b] want this cab!

    PM incoming
  8. Conan
    Excellent point, and that's what I was trying to say in my previous post.
  9. Conan
    I've had that before, when playing a gig with wateroftyne's band. He played through my rig (Markbass LM2 and gen 2 Compact) and I was pleasantly impressed with the sound of the rig (and his playing of course!). If I sound half as good as that then I'm VERY happy with my set-up I'm sure VK cabs are all very lovely an' that, but I have no cab GAS at all and no need to try one. I'm happy about that I also have a TKS H115 that I am equally happy with, but it is a bit more bulky. If I had to keep one and move the other on, it would be the Barefaced cab that stayed.

    You might have warned me - I've just eaten!!
  11. Conan
    Now sold. Thanks
  12. Conan
    I'm local and have a TKS H115 as well as a Barefaced Compact... I've sent you a PM....

  15. Conan
    Wow! A proper "Disaster Area" bass!
  16. Conan
    Obbm all the way for me. I see no need to spend more, and can't imagine any noticeable improvement if I did. But as BRX said, what do you call "High End"?

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1509965969' post='3402861'] [color=#000000][font=omnesregular]Hope this helps; good luck with the sale.[/font][/color] [/quote] Cheers for that But no, that just confuses me even more! I already have a DI unit and have no need of the other (undoubtedly amazing!) functions. In fact, just reading about them gives me a headache!!
  18. Conan
    I recently acquired this unit in a trade, but have no use for it (and, to be honest, don't really understand what it is for!). It is brand new, and still in all it's original packaging. £65 Now £50
  19. Conan
    I've had these sitting around for a while, but they are brand new and unopened. Double Ball End system, so suitable for Status, Steinberger and such-like headless basses. A tenner posted within the UK. I'm happy to ship elsewhere, but the postage may be a little more.

    [quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1509881759' post='3402252']bass solo at 5.10!! [media]http://youtu.be/YqmjbiA_wnc[/media] [/quote] [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1509882921' post='3402260'] Bass solo at 4:36 [/quote] Awesome line. But as he plays it the same as he does on the recorded version, does it still count as a "solo"? And yes, his fingers look to be even longer than Stanley Clarke's!
  21. Conan
    Have you still got the envelope filter?

    [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1509714600' post='3401117'] I bought a table from their furniture shop a few years ago. [/quote] How the mighty have fallen...

    I always quite fancied the singer... but then I was 14 in 1980

    [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1509607706' post='3400174'] Every bass I've owned was perfect for one reason or another, but it just seems to be my nature to change my gear out periodically. If there's any correlation between price and perfection, I have a beaten up old Aria P-bass copy that (after hardware updates) still owes me less than £120 And it is perfect. [/quote] I'm similar in that respect. Despite having owned several basses that retail at well over £1000, the one I keep coming back to is my modified J&D "1975" Jazz bass. It cost £119 brand new, and the mods (MIM P bass bridge, Tonerider pickups, headstock sprayed surf green to match the body, Hipshot string tree and purple tort plate) adding less than £100. It just works for me, where every other instrument has had one (or more) irritating little foible that has caused me to leave it at home, or move it on. I don't think I'm particularly difficult to please, and I am becoming less sentimental about gear (whereas I used to get quite upset about selling or trading guitars!). I like to try as much gear as possible, but increasingly I am coming to realise that it's not about "best" once you reach a certain quality level, just what works for you
  25. Conan
    Happy for you that you've found your dream bass.... but Jesus that's ugly!!
