paul_5 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Last night I ran my SWR head through a Barefaced cab, instead of my usual Hartke Hydrice 410. I suspect I [i]may[/i] just have developed a tiny amount of GAS... :-S Quote
Fisheth Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I'm getting GAS for one based upon how liked they are round here... Quote
paul_5 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Dunno. It would need to deliver the same sort of punch as the Hydrive, but I wouldn't imagine that's a problem based on what I heard last night. Also, given that I run the Hydrive with the HF horn turned off it could arguable be any of them. Actually this is more Mrs_5's GAS - she wants me to have a smaller rig sitting around the house, and my back would probably appreciate it too... Edited May 2, 2015 by paul_5 Quote
Lozz196 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I love the - now disconinued - Super 12T. Fantastic one-cab-does-all solution, easy to carry, on-board wheels, loud, articulate, all I need in a cab. So I have two! Quote

Thebassman75 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 As a local resident (to Brighton). Alex lent me a SuperTwin which I gigged this weekend. Suffice to say, it was heaven, from putting it in the car (after carrying it up 3 flights of stairs from the workshop) to terrorising the guitarist 2 nights in a row. Simply the best stage tone, stood right on top of it to being 15 ft from it. Lightweight, loud and very clear. My ABM500 has never sounded so good and I imagine that there was plenty more in the cab if I'd've pushed it. All in all, I'm a convert. I'm not sure if the SuperTwin is right, perhaps 2 x SuperCompacts will be more versatile but I'm pretty sure they'll be the last cabs I buy for quite a long time.. See you very soon Alex.. ! Quote
Merton Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I can vouch for the ABM500 + 2x Super Compact rig. Stonkingly good Quote
Thebassman75 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 That's great to know Merton. I assume that you stack them sideways on top of eachother to get the width for the ABM? Quote
