acidbass Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Just took delivery this week of a Barefaced Big Baby 2! First impressions when I signed for the delivery - SUCH a light box despite being huge! Opened it up and it was very well packaged. [attachment=161870:bf.jpg] Build quality - very good. The tolex covering seems as if it would withstand a nuclear war. I went for the cloth grille which of course is maybe not as sturdy long-term compared to the metal grille, but I knew this before ordering. The cloth has a beautiful silver sparkle to it - proper vintage. I intend to write a full sonic review of it when I've used it a bit more in a live context, but I used it last night at a gig for the first time and it sounded absolutely superb! Very smooth, consistent tone right from low E to 19th fret on the G string. I left my amp settings completely flat and it did not need any boost or cut whatsoever. I could tell that it was not struggling whatsoever even when I dug in, and even with 350w pumping through it, and I am led to believe it will happily run with 800w! The speaker does need to be broken in a bit with playing and so I intend to use it over the next few weeks and update this review after some more use with it. Very pleased so far!
