Barefaced big twin 2

[Ghost_Bass]

Each day going by i'm getting more and more convinced of selling my S12T and getting a BT2. Can somebody talk me out of it?

The truth is that i don't need more volume or tone but i would really like to see a sexy silver cloth when i look at my rig, not a ugly metal grill... i'm a very vain person...

For what this does , it really isn't that big.

But is it clever?

[Roland Rock]

If I may go off-piste slightly:
How do they apply that paint? Is it on the inside too? It's such an odd rough texture, I have difficulty picturing that being the result of brushing or spraying. Do they have a huge dipping tank?? What if someone fell in - they would be bulletproof!*

Looks very like Tuff-Cab to me.

Dunno how Barefaced do it, but I refinished a tatty old guitar combo (tolex ripped/missing) with Tufcab and a roller. The end result was very similar.

[/quote] if it was.... it would suggest if you asked really nicely (and paid a bit more) that they might just come in other colours!

What?? Bass cabs have to be black - it's the law!

[/quote] wasn't jamerson's live rig cab blue?

[Roland Rock]

Ah, roller - of course. Must be tricky to get into those ports

[Salt on your Bass?]

If its tricky, I think a submarine would be better .......

[symcbass]

Inside the ports are stained or painted flat matt black. All other facings including the edges if the ports are acrylic'd or whatever they use. The finish has a stippled effect, but has a smooth/ slippery quality to it when you run your hand over it. I assume its done with a roller as is duratex etc.

They are considering custom colours I believe

White is not a colour. In fact, when considering bass cabs, white is an abomination.

That looks so wrong that it's almost ... it's almost ... it's almost [size=5][color=#ff0000][i][b]disco[/b][/i][/color][/size]!

I'll do my best, I'm not normally very good at reviewing stuff, but I'll certainly report back after tomorrow's gig.

[Salt on your Bass?]

Think mine's complete now based on fb activity. Pretty excited. I found it a tough decision between grille cloth and steel finish. Went steel in the end.

No....sell it. I'd love an S12, S12T or S15. I must thank Alex for releasing the 3rd Generation cabs making a number of superb 2nd generation cabs available at a price that those on a modest income, like myself, can afford

Hear hear!!

[odysseus]

Got mine on Friday. Unfortunately I haven't got a another gig til December. Can't wind the bastard up in my flat so I might have to gatecrash my mate's band rehearsal just so I can experience the lushness.

I got a Peavey Max 700 amp, thinking about upgrading to something more modern, and possibly valved. Can anyone recommend a good amp to go with the Big Twin 2?
