mildmanofrock Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I'm selling this with great sadness. It's the best cab I've ever owned. It's in immaculate condition, works perfectly and has recently been recovered. £500. I'm in Swindon, if you want to collect it. Or I can deliver for an extra £20 or thereabouts. Write up from original Barefaced site: [b]Massive bottom end, mid range punch, treble clarity and, for their weight, the loudest deepest bass cabs you can buy...[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Is that another fifteen? Why yes it is, a very very special [b]one[/b]. And what's that other speaker in there? It's six and a half inches of punch, clarity, growl and sweetness.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b]But it's just a [b]big[/b] speaker and a little speaker, all in[b]one[/b] box. I've seen cabs like that from other makers.[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The magic is inside the box - a full 2-way crossover, akin to that found in the very best studio monitors, which splits the sound between the two speakers, so each speaker can concentrate on doing what it does best. No other crossover found in a bass guitar cab has this complex topology, with very steep slopes so it is all but impossible to overpower the midrange driver, so that you get no interference between drivers either side of the crossover point, and so that you get the most accurate and realistic sound whether you're the bassist, a bandmate or a fan.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b][b]Big[/b] [b]One[/b] - our flagship model[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The massive port may give away that there is something different about this classic looking cab. So what is going on behind that silver cloth grill? Well it's a very very special fifteen plus a tiny giant of a six and a half inch midrange driver.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b]Prepare for a tone, bottom and output revelation[/b] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Featuring a extremely high excursion neo woofers in an oversized ported enclosures gives the [b]Big[/b] [b]One[/b] the ability to move more air and give you a fatter high SPL bass sound than most cabs twice their size (and how many more times its weight?!)[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Because this woofers is so good at going low it is not good at going high - the rest of your sound comes from an extremely high output 6.5" midrange speaker which gives you more tone and volume than you can believe possible from such a small speaker - it can cut through even the densest rock mix. Not only that but because this speaker is small it disperses your midrange much better than if it were coming from a larger woofer.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Stand anywhere in the room and you will hear almost exactly the same tone - no other bass cab can achieve this![/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Why isn't everyone else making cabs like this?[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]However, it can play louder than many need so for those that don't need such output we offer the [b]Big[/b] Baby. And for those that don't need the incredible clarity and off-axis response of a true 2-way cab with an amazing midrange driver, or the huge deep bass of our unique '[b]Big[/b]Series' woofers we offer the Compact, the Vintage and the Midgets.[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [b]DIMENSIONS[/b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] 29.5" high x 21" wide x 16" deep WEIGHT 41 lbs SENSITIVITY Similar to a quality 2x12" FREQUENCY RESPONSE Unusually flat response from the deep thick lows to the clear highs RECOMMENDED AMP POWER 200-1000W RMS MAXIMUM OUTPUT Similar to a high quality 6x10" or 2x15" NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms[/font][/color] Edited April 23, 2012 by mildmanofrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He's in Swindon and to be convinced that the mid driver goes high enough for his purpose. I'm pushing him toward one as it is ideal for what he's after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Is it the lighter ply or the heavier ply version? Wheresabouts are you in Swindon and can I try the cab on a no pressure basis? Would you consider a possible part exchange for my Compact with a small amount of cash your way? Really quite happy with my compact and didnt want to go bigger, but you never know!

mildmanofrock Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi, I'm not sure whether it's the lighter ply or heavier. Thanks for the trade offer, but I'm not really looking for anything else at the moment. You're welcome to try it out - no pressure. I'm in Oakhurst.

hamfist Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The Barefaced site doesn't seem to mention a "Big One". What are the specs ? especially speaker/tweeter config and weight ? Oh, and course ohmage ? cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I reckon it'll be the lighter ply based upon the design of the silver grille cloth (they both came in around the same time IIRC), but that's a guess only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It looks very similar to my compact which is the lighter ply / silver cloth. Likewise interested in Shockwave's Compact if he decides to move it on (behind andybassdoyle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
