LawrenceH Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Alex I vented at you a while back for talking in marketing-speak rather than the more expansive discussions of old. I'm really pleased to see these new gen cabs announced, and REALLY pleased to see a decent discussion of design elements and philosophies on your site, which actually openly encompasses the limitations of the older designs. E.g. the reasoning for the change to high-quality 2-way is something I definitely agree with. My experience has been that other drivers had become available off-the-shelf that usefully surpassed the performance of the Kappalite series, but it looks like you have an OEM model that leapfrogs these nicely. I've not previously thought BF (or any manufacturer) worth it for me compared to DIY, but that's not the case any longer. I think I'll be buying one at some point (though if you wanted to sell me a driver even at a nice premium I'd be a happy customer ) EDIT: Also, the price looks very fair on these, I'm really impressed all round Edited October 2, 2013 by LawrenceH Quote
FinnDave Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Finally had an opportunity to play through my Super Twin with the band this evening. Only a rehearsal but went though 26 songs with a temp. drummer who is playing a gig with us on Friday. Impressions? Wonderful tone, playing a Fender Jazz through an Ashdown ABM 500 Evo II, volume at about 25%, EQ close to flat, and it sounded...incredible. Cut through our five piece with ease, without sounding loud, without the twangy treble I am forced to use to hear myself, just a beautiful warm bass sound. The sound was eerily similar to that I had in a recording studio a couple of months ago, playing through an old Fender Bassman recorded onto analogue tape, which is just what I wanted. Quote
alexclaber Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Lawrence, I'm glad you (conceptually at least!) like what we're doing, it's been a massive project over the last few years and we're thrilled with the final products. Dave, I hope Friday's gig doesn't befall any more unfortunate events and the new cab brings the rock - your rehearsal tone bodes well on that front! Quote
FinnDave Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Thanks, Alex, we have three drummers lined up just in case, so I expect either myself or the guitarist to suffer some dreadful fate! Quote
Salt on your Bass? Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 How did the gig go Dave? Hopefully smoothly this time round! Quote
FinnDave Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Yes, gig went very well, even got paid extra to carry on longer. Bass sounded great, nice mellow tone but very clear in the mix. Quote

eddiehoffmann Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Went to Barefaced headquarters today and had the gen 3 handles fitted in my Super 12. Now my cab looks even sexier Had a really nice chat with Alex, who's a real gent. Also, had a proper look and, more importantly, listen to the new Super Compact. The competition is gonna eat dirt.
