deej Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I had a quick check but didnt see any posts about this. Just seen this from the Barefaced Facebook page; "SALE NOW ON! Up until Xmas we're offering Compacts with a £100 discount. Get your order in before 23rd Dec to qualify." Its up on their website too. Ive wanted to try one for a while now, but I might just go mad and get the 2. Cant argue at saving a couple hundred quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 In my view, they are a good cab at the regular price, with a reduction of £100, well a definate bargain that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Don't forget there is a neo surcharge cause of the price crazyness when you are mentally spending your money: http://barefacedbass.com/ordering-and-availability.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch006 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Great for someone who fancys one, they are great cabs. Not so great for someone that was thinking of having a change and getting some different cabs. Mines just been devalued! I don't think i will be the only one that isn't amazingly impressed.

Merton Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Sadly patch, Alex has to think about his direct sales rather than if someone is looking to move one on second hand, that doesn't help his bottom line at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 If you haven't yet heard the combination of a Compact with a Midget, be prepared to be amazed. Astonishingly good rig which you can carry across the car park in a single, easy lift - one in each hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Out of sheer monkey curiosity, could someone please point me at the web-site that says Alex is offering £100 off Compacts? If that's on the Barefaced web-site ( http://www.barefacedbass.com/ ) then it's not exactly obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Oh my, if only...... *Plans out if i can actually afford to buy a compact* ..... Damnit, i can't, not even with a £100 discount. Liam Edit: Thinking about it, depending on when i get paid in December, i might just be able to squeeze one in actually Edited November 15, 2011 by LiamPodmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 So is it £475 AFTER discount, or before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Would it be tempting fate? to say I think it is good that Midgets aren't on offer because I would struggle to justify buying one but struggle just as hard not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Agreed.. A midget would go nicely with my S12...

[/quote] I think the bigger picture is if you love your cab there is no problem. TBH the secondhand market is crashing as people have less money anyway, so you're no worse off you can still trade for the same quality of cab. And if they decide to drop the price of the midget.. I just might put it on the credit card and not wait till next year..hint hint That said they are well worth the money.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Chalk up another compact + midget T enthusiast. A lone compact is still awesome though, and at the reduced price is pretty much in a class of its own for the combination of small size, price, lightness, sensitivity, and low frequency extension (and the highs are pretty decent for a non-tweeter loaded cab).

The Goatreich Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm pretty chuffed with this offer! If the sale of my huge ashdown rig goes through as planned tonight, I should have the funds in my hand to order the barefaced compact tomorrow. My plan is to own, one practical rig for rehearsals and small gigs, which would be an Orange Bass Terror 500, on powering a Barefaced Compact, and one monster rig which would be an all valve head powering an Ampeg 8*10 classic for bigger gigs and when we travel in a van. Might even think about getting the Midget on top of the compact seeing as that's what people are recommending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
