nottswarwick Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Well, it is here. Only done a quick test so far, and did and AB with the Compact. Probably no-one will be surprised to learn that it is alot louder than the Compact, and obviously the tweeter gives (adjustable) levels of top end clarity. My ABM500 EVO2 sounds really good through it, with everything on flat, and without the shape filter engaged - so a nod to those (Prime Bass mainly) who suggested to try this. Flat EQ, and flat on the bass (SR4 3EQ) but with just a tiny boost on the bass knob on the bass, and there we go. It's quite a bit heavier than the Compact and taller. The wheels are handy. Nicely put together too. It's still a bit "tight" in the lows I suspect, and will open up with usage this weekend. Big-ish do, wedding type affair, so we will see how it gets on. However, it certainly addresses what was (for me at least) lacking with the Compact - lack of high end extension, and overall headroom. I cannot imagine this not being loud enough. And my ABM looks ace on top of it: [attachment=88937:IMG_0546.jpg] So, there we go. I shall report back with a gig test report.

whynot Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think the cab will compliment the Ashdwon just right. I've used my Super 12 on 2 gigs so far with 2 different basses and amps. The only thing I'm haven't got use to yet is the clarity of the cab. I thought my Tech SS 4x10 was uncoloured (for want of a better word) but this really is what you put in you get out I think.

ShergoldSnickers Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Imagine a cab like Stephen Fry combined with Arnie, but without the weight of either. Articulate [i][b]and[/b][/i] muscle-bound. That's what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Not sure what you guys think but this is the only Barefaced cab I prefer with the black grill rather than the silver cloth. Looks brill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markstuk Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 It beats one of the 410's but not both... But it's not 150 lbs worth of difference... Nowhere near... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMech Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 do you think if you were to put the cab flat on the floor, instead of vertical, alex would immediately come and confiscate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
