[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1464775346' post='3062335'] would you mind chucking it down the stairs? I think that's the real test. My TNT has taken a lot of tumbles over the last 15 years without any damage [/quote] No problem. I'll take it outside, kick it down the street and drive the car over it too, just to be sure...

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1464774205' post='3062321'] ...has Timmy never heard of the advantages of Class D? [/quote] You know what, something tells me that TC doesn't haul his own gear. Just a feeling I have...

Does he mean he wants to replace a trio with a double bass player? What the hell is a 'rehearsal photoshoot'?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1464732404' post='3062076'] Me too Mark, I don`t know if that makes us sound Anglo-Saxon, or like breakfasts... [/quote] I like an Anglo-Saxon breakfast...

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1464734009' post='3062108'] ...you know what I meant when I said 'more traditional' as opposed to the others in the product range... [/quote] They're traditional in that they're black cuboids with standard driver configurations, yes. But those drivers are unique to Barefaced as are the specs.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464732952' post='3062085'] Now you're just baiting lol! [/quote] Not at all. No other 210, 410 or 810 have the same spec as the Barefaced versions. It's all on the website.

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1464732010' post='3062064'] It's also interesting that It's the more traditional type of cabs he's gone for , they would be my choice too. [/quote] There's nothing traditional about those cabs except for the shapes.

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1464731394' post='3062059'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There is something incredibly Anglo-Saxon about the inability to be happy for a "small" company becoming even a little succesful. Buy British in favour of American I say (and I am only half English).[/font][/color] [/quote] I'm fully English (well... as much as one can be) and I don't understand it, either. I think it's just jealousy, pure and simple.

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1464730248' post='3062031'] Well he does have the endorsement scheme where the cab is free in return for high profile use and exposure.... [/quote] Commerford is sufficiently high-profile that he could choose any brand he wanted under the same conditions.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464728575' post='3062005'] I couldn't care less what you think! [/quote]

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464728164' post='3062000'] Good for you. You may find a rig you like yet! [/quote][quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464728109' post='3061999'] It is important in my opinion. If an artist is prepared to pay full retail price, that shows true belief in the products that they are using. [/quote] I think you're clutching at straws now.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464727410' post='3061987'] You are a BC member right? It's the done thing! [/quote] I said 'second' One10. It's the done thing I've already done. And I did it before that anyway, twice.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464727154' post='3061979'] Did TC buy this rig? And if he did, did he pay full retail? [/quote] Are you saying that if he didn't pay full retail it doesn't count?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464727154' post='3061979'] Also... I would like all those that googled TC's name upon reading this thread to put their hands up... :-p [/quote] Not me Sport, a while back I was in a rock band covering Audioslave numbers. Though to be fair he hadn't really got on my radar before that. But I'm old(ish).

[size=5]To hell with it, I WILL buy that second One10!! [/size]

Wow, great news! Congratulations, Alex!! Wait a minute... Didn't someone on this forum say that internationally-famous professional bass players won't have heard of Barefaced and would never buy their gear even if they had? And that most Barefaced customers were actually BassChat members??* *Yes, they did. Just to be clear.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1464705781' post='3061611'] The blend control is your best friend... [/quote] Yes, and don't have the bass and treble up full or you will lose your mids. For more mids back off the bass and treble. The unit works best (for me at least) with quite subtle settings. Just having the thing in the signal path makes a big difference.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1464705551' post='3061608'] 99m..? [/quote] I dunno, if I get a discount for buying in bulk, maybe... then I can do gigs from home.

Yes, it's good enough. I've used one for recording with great results. I've also gigged one with great results. Don't be put off by the low price or the fact it's made by Behringer, it's a good bit of kit by anyone's standards.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1464691742' post='3061404'] I also have 99m of Sommer Classic Tweed... [/quote] I like that! Let me figure out how long I need it to be and I'll order one.

[quote name='Passinwind' timestamp='1464701606' post='3061556'] The last shot they used a C sharp. [/quote] I was hospitalised for fingering A minor.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1464680264' post='3061284'] Is the TNT160 standard-setting quality? [/quote] It is if you're into Peavey. I'm assuming that Peavey people will be interested in the MiniMax, Peavey's first foray into the lightweight bass amp head market - and will want to know if it's a 'real' Peavey, or just a standard Class-D amp with 'Peavey' printed on the front of it. So for them I am not really comparing the Peavey MiniMax to the Class-D's of G-K and their ilk, I'm comparing it with the tried-and-trusted workhorse Peaveys of yore that are beloved by Peavey fans. In my view this Peavey would fit the bill nicely and endear itself to said Peavey fans, IF, as I say, it's got the legendary Peavey reliability - but there's no way of knowing that at this time. Peavey, Peavey, Peavey!

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1464698845' post='3061520'] Thank you. [/quote]

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1464696182' post='3061484'] ...and how does it compare to the Fender Rumble? [/quote] The Rumble 500 V3 Combo? Favourably. They do a similar job imho, but of course how the MiniMax sounds is at least partly dependent on which cab you use with it, I imagine. I could happily have gigged the Rumble for the rest of time, but as a lazy git I wanted something physically smaller and lighter while retaining a broadly similar sound and volume level. I think the Rumble would go louder overall, but it's painful anywhere approaching maximum volume, so... The Rumble is light (16kg) but is an awkward shape and has a top handle when it could do with side handles. My MiniMax, One10, Compressor, cables, leads, stand and other gubbins all fit into a bag measuring 48 X 32 X 30cm and weighs 12kg. That 4kg makes a big difference over distance, as does the shape, which is far less awkward to carry and doesn't bark your shins as you walk along. First-world problems and their solutions, eh??
