Musashimonkey Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've had a BB2 and a super midget (both gen 3). They worked really well together... Really well! Gives you three different sized rigs to use. Very versatile, and very loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have this set up (SC and SM). I use it with a GK MB500. Super clean, super flat and super loud. Not much 'vibe' (intentional), so I use an EBS valve drive as a pre-amp, and that's my tone sorted. It's the closest I've got to a rig sounding like the PA does, so I'm confident that I won't get too many nasty surprises when the DI comes back through the monitors. Nothing worse than your all valve beast rig sitting up on stage and knowing that no-one will ever hear it (and no, you can't always insist that the sound person mics it up. That's a luxury bonus if they've got time :-) It's certainly the most useful rig I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That`s why I love the Barefaced cabs - what I hear is pretty much what the audience hear through FOH, unless the sound-person decides to make some radical changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Since you aren't getting much response I'll chip in my experience of ownership of 6+ years of a G1 Compact and G2 Midget and now owning a G3 Super Midget and G3 BB2. All the above are excellent cabs. I could still be happy with the G1/2 cabs but circumstances conspired to make me change my cabs last year. Firstly, based on my BB2 I imagine a G3 Compact would carry 99% of my gigs. They are loud and full sounding on their own and any louder you should really be through the PA. Still, having a Compact and Midget gives you 3 rigs meaning you're 100% sure you can cover ANY gig. A Super Compact + Super Midget would be great sounding and very loud - if that's what you need, and flexible for the smallest to the largest gig. My BB2 always gets used if there's enough space and it has never disappointed. My band love it. I've been told by the band never to sell my BF gear. Anyway, if you didn't like it you could return it and get your money back but I don't think you'd be doing that from my experience of Barefaced. Frank.

machinehead Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Kevin, There is a difference in sound between a BB2 and Super Midget. Both sound great but the BB2 is deeper and smoother a sounds bigger. It feels like it fills a room with bass more than the SM. After saying that, the SM alone is amazing as well but the BB2 just gives an even fuller sound. It's hard to put into words but I hope that helps a little. Frank.

What is smaller stages? Jazz bands only? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
