[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464794255' post='3062635'] I notice one or two members who usually like to chime in on a Barefaced thread are here conspicuous by their absence. [/quote] I hope you aren't referring to me! Sorry for the lack of input today, I'm still trying to figure out when a 4x10 is not a 4x10 -I don't think the addition of a LPF on one column is going to cause a stir in any patents office. And to be fair, I usually stay out of bf threads nowadays. It's all been done before... a bit like 1x10s, 2x10s, 4x10s, 8x10s...

[quote name='SwamiRob' timestamp='1464762548' post='3062192'] Anyone got any suggestions for affordable but not awful patch leads? I'm only using 5 cos my board is just 3 pedals linked together for an elaborate always on overdrive sound, however if they're 10 each I'm not sure I can manage that at the moment. [/quote] Stick with what you have until you can afford to replace them. (Unless of course, they are already knackered!)

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1464699122' post='3061524'] Oh yes very nice. Those 745s on their own would kill most bass rigs but people are obsessed with having their own big rig to stand next to! [/quote] You wouldn't even need any monitors would you? Or is that fishful thinking?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464732136' post='3062068'] There's nothing traditional about those cabs except for the shapes. [/quote] Now you're just baiting lol!

Just in case it was missed - "Having said all that, congrats to Alex for landing TC. That's got to be an exciting prospect" - me. I doff my cap for the landing of such a player. I don't know who'd be jealous - apart from another cab manufacturer? I certainly don't care what TC is playing through and have no vested interest.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464728409' post='3062003'] I think you're clutching at straws now. [/quote] I couldn't care less what you think!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464727875' post='3061997'] I said 'second' One10. It's the done thing I've already done. And I did it before that anyway, twice. [/quote] Good for you. You may find a rig you like yet!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464727828' post='3061996'] Are you saying that if he didn't pay full retail it doesn't count? [/quote] 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 name='discreet' timestamp='1464727316' post='3061984'] [size=5]To hell with it, I WILL buy that second One10!! [/size] [/quote] Do it! You are a BC member right? It's the done thing!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1464727220' post='3061981'] *Looks nervously around the room* [/quote] :-p We know who our next BGM cover artist is then...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464725952' post='3061955'] 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] Let's focus on the "most" word in that sentence. Anybody would think Ampeg has just lost their whole artist roster! Also... I would like all those that googled TC's name upon reading this thread to put their hands up... :-p Did TC buy this rig? And if he did, did he pay full retail?

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1464712703' post='3061730'] I'm confused; so he's playing through the industry standard 8x10... that is an Ampeg rig isn't it? [/quote] Indeed - so the biggest endorsement to date is based on 10s - which Alex originally said were fundamentally flawed! OK - only one column is producing treble to mimic that of a PA line array - but going from the mics, the sandman couldn't careless about that! Having said all that, congrats to Alex for landing TC. That's got to be an exciting prospect.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1464712955' post='3061731'] A better test would probably be a gig. Any benefits in the dynamic (imagined or otherwise!) would probably be lost in a half-empty room. Personally speaking, I'm under no illusion - the whole concept of 'heft' is lost on the audience. It's about the tactile feedback of standing in front of your cab, feeling the notes. [/quote] Completely agree. Indeed - the feedback you get from playing your bass and what comes out of the speaker next to you, doesn't track with the audience because they aren't involved in the playing aspect.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1464716949' post='3061804'] I guess he's running some sort of wet/dry or clean/dirty multiple signal path setup? [/quote] Indeed he does. He also uses in-ears. Probably just as well given the amount of sound moving in his vicinity.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1464716606' post='3061797'] I ordered a second One10 the other day. Now I'm feeling inadequate. [/quote] Don't forget the JBLs too!

Why he need so many cabs? I thought these Barefaced cabs were loud? Sorry - just using the same jibe that Alex said to me about my 4 cabs back in the day...

Nice work. Whats the synth?

I quite like the Neutrik clear rings you can buy so you can label on the XLR. Very useful when presented with a loom box and a shed load of identical looking cables!

Go with OBBM's classic tweed!

A lot of people are going to chime in OBBM but I believe he only makes black cables. For a coloured cable, I don't think you can beat a Van Damme with neutrik plugs. Get Designacable to make them to your spec from their website or from their eBay shop... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gold-Neutrik-Guitar-Jack-to-Jack-Lead-Long-Van-Damme-Cable-3m-6m-10m-Electric-/161211536768?var=&hash=item2588f4d580:m:mQp66EkdbGBr1aeXINo4YVQ I have used a lot of Van Damme cables and never had any fail - and of course, they sound great too. Good enough for Abbey Road, Air and the Beeb, good enough for me etc...

That's a nice rig. :-) Spookily similar to mine in fact - I'm running 745s with 8004s with GLD80/DL32R

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1464647071' post='3061183'] I believe Richard Osman does Two Tribes when not on Pointless... [/quote] DS gigs with the other one - Alexander Armstrong.
