Bass Head to go with Barefaced Compact CAB

+1 to the Terror Bass through my Compact: never fails to please me. Also use an Ashdown ABM500 which is a totally different sound, but just as addictive.

Both heads sound very loud through single or two Compacts. However, at the moment the TB plus one Compact is a winning combination.

Cheers

I used an Ampeg PF500 through mine. As the Barefaced cabs are so transparent with their sound, whatever amp/bass you choose, you will hear it`s tone perfectly through the cab.

So, choose the amp whose tone you like the best - and get that tone you love perfectly uncloured.

I had a Compact before getting my Dubster and tried it with a Littlemark 3 and a Streamliner 9. Both sounded good through it, echoing Lozz's statement above regarding transparency, but the Streamliner edged it for me. Really full sounding.

Depends what music you're playing, what venues, and of course what bass and what sound you like.

That.


FWIW I use a TC Electronics Classic 450. I like the sound of it for my rock bands and find the onboard compressor and Tubtone useable and useful.

As Alex said, drop him an email to get the answer from the horse's mouth (so to speak).

FWIW I'm using a Hartke LH500 - clean, warm and LOUD! I've also run an Ashdown EB180 through it, also sounded great, slightly better tone for my taste (but obviously not as loud). Thinking of getting the new Ashdown LB550.

I currently have an LH500 and yes is is clean and very clear through the Barefaced Compact cab, as a matter of interest what is your favourite tone setting on the LH500 through the Cab?

Mids about 3 O'clock, bass just before 12 O'clock and treble about 10 O'Clock. Bright and limiter disengaged.

How about you?
