Happy Jack Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Well, it would be serial no. 001 if Alex did serial numbers. This is the first Big One that Alex ever sold, back in March 2009, a veritable piece of Basschat history. It has been my main gigging cab for well over two years, but I don't play in a particularly busy band so that means it has played something like 30 gigs - nicely played in, but not worn out. It has suffered no sonic abuse whatever, and sounds excellent. I'm increasingly tending towards stacking my Barefaced Midget on top of it, so the reality is that it would make more sense to sell the Big One and buy a Barefaced Compact, which is actually designed to be used in that way. The grille has the superficial scuffs and marks you'd expect after 30-ish gigs but the cab is otherwise in great condition. I'll post some photos tonight. One thing to note is that the courier who originally delivered the cab to me dropped it off the back of a lorry (quite literally) and stove in the front bottom corner. Back it went to Brighton, where Alex re-built it for me with a re-inforced bottom ([i]insert own humorous comment here[/i]) so this Big One is not only the first ever, but is also unique and even stronger than usual. I haven't got a padded envelope big enough to post it in, so this is collection only from Chiswick (London W4). From a folding point of view, this cab will cost you [size=4][b]£450[/b][/size].

basswesty Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Swap you your old Lakkie BG if you like.... Still in mint condition and went on here for sale last night...
Happy Jack Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 That's a very nice bass, that is. Not sure how it would sound if used as a speaker though ...

Clarky Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 To help things along, here is a stock pic of a Big One next to a Compact [attachment=91611:barefaced.jpg]

[/quote] Its an old shot from Barefaced website - google images is your friend .... although it would have been cool if they were owned by the bass playing vole in the picture Edited October 20, 2011 by Clarky

Merton Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Is he deaf too, Alex? I'd expect so sitting that close to those two cabs Edited October 21, 2011 by Merton
Sibob Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I've played through this cab and it's fantastic. Obviously you can deal with Jack with the upmost of confidence!! Si

Totally trustworthy dude, but just don't mention the Manchester derby
Happy Jack Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 You couldn't bloody wait, could you?

[/quote] Based on your lot beating mine 8-2, Arsenal will lose 24-8 to Man City! Back on topic, this is a phenomenally powerful and easily manageable cab that someone should snap up
Happy Jack Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 I'm not sure even van Persie can score eight goals in one match ...
Happy Jack Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 One bump before I give up on this ... it's not like I particularly want to sell this cab anyway!
