I MUST see pictures. Do you hear?
Etienne Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Yay! One of those is mine- should hopefully take delivery at the weekend!

alexclaber Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Hold your horses, I'm away Friday to Sunday so I shall get them sent out on Monday! Why do I get the feeling I'm doing two jobs at once? Alex
Etienne Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Sorry Alex, I completely jumped the gun there! Sorry to everybody else waiting for their Compacts, for getting their hopes up! Oh well, only a few extra days to wait...
Merton Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Alex, these are looking great My initial plan of having two Compacts this year seems a little far-fetched now I'm actually being realistic about miniMert costs, but give it a year or two and i can look like I've jumped onto the bandwagon

alexclaber Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 A bundle of Barefaced Compacts just hopped into the Fedex van, for arrival at their new homes tomorrow! Alex
Etienne Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Can't wait to fire mine up with my Shuttle! Unfortunately, as I'm no longer in possession of the Genz Benz NEOX-212T cab that I had on trial from Niceguyhomer, the shootout that I had planned between it and the Compact won't be happening... nevermind! Instead, I'll be posting a 'first impressions' review of Alex's handiwork in a few days time, followed by another 'real-world' review a few weeks later, once I've played some gigs with it!

alexclaber Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Barefaced Big One with crossover v.4 is on its way to a gig shortly - Horse & Groom in Hanover, Brighton, if anyone fancies some fat grooves tonight! Alex

Alex[/quote] Can't make it to the gig, Alex, much as I'd love to ... for obvious reasons. Don't scratch it, now. G'wan g'wan g'wan. Have a good time.
alexclaber Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Well isn't this neat! I shall attempt to subdivide this monster thread into something more useful... Alex
acidbass Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Woot woot, new forum! I look forward to following your cab-building quest in this new location Alex! Danny
BigBeefChief Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 When do you the first Vintage will me ready Alex?
