Kevin Dean Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 The problem I have with them is " The Super Compact sounds great & is easy to carry , But the Super 12T looks cooler " Never mind "Should we stay in Europe or not " Quote

lloyd Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I have a gen3 super twin, it pisses on my ampeg svt cabs , don't need a back breaking amp any more either, use it through a GK mb fusion 500, a one carry load in, even with my bass!! Probably used it a dozen times before it broke in properly, but when it did, #%>k me! Got a logo' cover for it too, sweet. Lloyd Quote

sunburstjazz1967 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 The covers certainly improve the look of them! Lol Quote
ern500evo Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Big selling point for me was the fact I could take the cab, try it out for a month and if I didn't get on with it, return it. Was never in doubt once I started gigging with it, my Big Twin 2 is probably the best piece of music gear I've ever invested in. Mine's got the metal grille and I actually quite like the looks, but more importantly it sounds massive! We are pretty spoilt as bass players now, there's some epic lightweight cabs on the market.

chris_b Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 A Roqsolid foam guard cover for my SC was £45. £50 if you wanted the printing. . . still cheaper than BF but not by as much as is being indicated. Quote

sunburstjazz1967 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Could they do one with a mesh front so you could leave them on during the gig? Quote
ern500evo Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I should probably replace mine soon, I really miss members of the audience coming up to me at the end of a gig and saying "I love the look of your cab"! 😄 Quote
sunburstjazz1967 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I've found this that you might like if your after an upgrade, lol. Quote
ern500evo Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Haha, I'll stick with it for a while I think. It sounds great, and that works for me! I quite like the looks of my BT2, but then again I don't think I've ever looked at a cab and thought 'wow, I love that', Quote
dave_bass5 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Ive just ordered a GK MB800 head to give my BB2 a proper workout.. As much as ive liked using MarkBass for the past 8 years its time to give GK another try. My BB2 is also the first 8 ohms cab ive had in many years. Since getting the BB2 its really helped me get back inspiration and enjoyment in playing live. I think i got bogged down with changing basses where as it was the cab that i didnt really get on with (although it was a great cab). Now i can hear things a lot clearer its a lot more fun playing live. Quote

Knowing your tone will largely be the same, and knowing the issues lie purely with your playing/ability rather than the gear is a great thing to inspire harder practicing and better focused practicing, or at least it has been with me! Having confidence in your gear allows you to just focus on the gig and the enjoyment! Quote
Muzz Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Yep, good cabs are a revelation as to exactly what you're doing live...in-ears are even worse - technically better, but you know what I mean... Quote
dave_bass5 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I do admit i was worried about the BB2 description before getting it. I thought ti would be so clear i would hate hearing everything crystal clear. Fret buzz/clank etc. I was very harpy to find out that this wasn't the case, or at least didst have to be. That tweeter is more like taking a pillow off your head. it makes things clearer without over emphasising the upper mids like my old cabs used to. Im hoping the MB800 will just add a bit more clarity, ill certainly have more head room. Quite looking forward to having a new tone signautre, and i know with this cab it will make a difference.

JamesBass Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Well I've just bought a TTE 500 from Opticaleye, and that amp is clean and crisp, but not harsh, and still very bass-y, and in the limited time I've played it in anger it really makes a difference, especially when I've played it through a Barefaced, my tone was just musical, even with the tweeter full on, there was NOTHING harsh about it whatsoever. However, I'm in a quandary as to which Barefaced I shall buy, I'm either after the Big Twin II or the Big Baby II. Decisions, decisions! I'm gonna drive the 60 miles over there soon though, so keep a look out for the inevitable NRD post Quote
