mcnach Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1368796469' post='2081642'] Without knowing exactly what 6x10 you have I can say with reasonable confidence that a double compact rig will put its thumb on its nose and waggle it fingers at your old cab. [/quote] stop messing with my calm and patient wait! They were a Peavey TX410 and a TC Electronic RS210. It sounded great, but I got tired of the heavy and bulky 410 so I sold it and used a BC212 with the RS210, vertically, since. A friend of mine had both the BC210 and BC212, so I tested both and thought the 212 was a better option. But in truth, I don't love the results... Quote
mcnach Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 [quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1368797925' post='2081665'] To be fair, any modern 2x15 set up should roughly match or outperform a typical 6x10 - a 15" driver has more than 3x the cone area of a 10" and will usually have more excursion, too. 10s only really make sense in multiples if you want a slim form factor. [/quote] Do you think "Mr. Landlord" will sound good through that? Quote
4 Strings Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 So asking Alex about a Compact, going to try one the following week and buying it, and a Midget while I was there, was a unique experience? Quote
LawrenceH Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1369050749' post='2084208'] Do you think "Mr. Landlord" will sound good through that? [/quote] Haha, it will so long as you play it better than I managed on the recording! That was about 5 days in after loading a van up with gear in Devon, driving to Edinburgh, setting up the recording 'studio' in the cottage and then playing for hours and hours each day. Brain frazzled, fingers destroyed - my timing in the little break bits is about as atrocious as it could possibly be despite simplifying the line...I cringed a bit when I listened back when setting up for mixing shame because I think it's a nice line overall Quote

When I listen to our SBK album, I often cringe too. We recorded drums, rhythm guitar and bass in two days, and not even full days... all hurried and not the best state of mind (or body, it was FREEEEZING in that disused church where we were recording)... I guess most people don't notice, but I hear every single timing error. Quote

They were a Peavey TX410 and a TC Electronic RS210. [/quote] My first "proper" rig was a TX410 paired with a black widow 15. I replaced that stack with a single eden 2x10 without any loss in volume/depth, this was later replaced by an epi 3x10, which in turn was replaced by a compact/midget stack. A single compact will easily match the tx for volume/depth IMO. Quote

Westie9 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I had to wait an absolute age for mine but that was during the 'CNC machine' transition. I thought it was supposed to speed things up? I hope it's down to the sheer quantity of orders and if it is, I wish Alex and the team all the best for the future... Quote
gafbass02 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I must admit as a former barefaced owner I'm starting to think about another set. I massively prefer the tone and build of my Bergantino AE210's to my old midgetT/compact set up, but I do miss the sheer weightlessness of the BF rig. Sadly I'm in no position to swap as I'd have to sell my bergs first to fund and I'm pretty busy with gigs every week so no time to wait without a rig. :-/ who knows, maybe something will present itself.

Twigman Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 got my request for balance transfer......not long now!!! Quote
Prime_BASS Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Alex emailed me yesterday asking if I can wait for something more special coming in August. So I said I can wait. How far away is August? Quote
clauster Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1370351873' post='2099515'] How far away is August? [/quote] Which one? This years or next's (or the one after, etc) Quote
FinnDave Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 If you're waiting for your cab, then August is a painfully long time away. If you're trying to get the money together to pay for your cab, then August is just around the corner. Quote
paul h Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Out of all the basses and gear I have gone through over the years the one thing I can honestly say I wouldn't be without is my Barefaced Compact. Quote
