LukeFRC Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 1 hour ago, EBS_freak said: Wow. That escalated quickly. Yeah. Been a while since I’ve been on a thread on here with a bit of a troll - reminded me hoe much I don’t like it. also - please for the love of all things good lets not have every thread knocking Barefaced. It gets boring. I find it depressing that as a bass playing community we will happily shell out lots to import various high end gear from the states - but for someone who’s home grown, who we’ve seen growing up so to speak and maybe know some of their flaws, we constantly keep knocking. Sure specific criticism like stevie was questioning the level of flat response etc, but less of the general negativity..... please 1 Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I think it’s a bit unfair to single out Barefaced as a singular reference point of being on the receiving end of something. Rickenbacker, Keytars, Bros, ACS (in the inears thread) are some of the things things that have come to mind without too much thought - as things that have been brought up in not the most positive light. With regard to products... Just because something is home grown shouldn’t or doesn’t grant immunity to public comment, especially if money for goods is expected to change hands. I for one, think it’s very important that things like this are not censored. It should be also pointed out, that it’s clearly a barefaced fan that brought barefaced up - and because the opinion didn’t go the way they intended, milk got spilt. Cmon people, there’s enough vegan sausage rolls for everyone. Edited January 4, 2019 by EBS_freak Quote
lemmywinks Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Barefaced detractors usually feel compelled to voice their opinions after a healthy dose of BF evangelism from other posters, that's definitely the case here. This has been a gear thread free from brand fanboys for over 40 pages which is great, hopefully it can continue. FWIW my opinions: Barefaced - very good Rickenbackers - horrible things Keytars - everybody should own and gig one ACS - no opinion Bros - bloody love 'em Quote
lemmywinks Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Incidentally what is the power amp used in the FR800, is this it? https://www.hypex.nl/product/psc2-400d/67 Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I’m offended that you think Rickenbackers are horrible. Please stand by as I become Guest EBS_Freak. FWIW I thought the comments on barefaced were very balanced and the comments made are not without evidence to support such comments. So...? Edited January 4, 2019 by EBS_freak 1 Quote

stevie Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) They're very good amps. (Congratulations, EBS on passing the 10,000-post mark. You can now collect your £200 from Kiwi.) Edited January 4, 2019 by stevie sp. Quote

lemmywinks Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Apparently 30% off as they're being discontinued, wonder how much they are or what Alex will replace them with. Would be interesting to see someone retrofit one into a BB2! Quote

lemmywinks Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 A few on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142787292402 If any BB2 owners fancy getting the hacksaw out now is your chance! Quote
HazBeen Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 So now things have seemed to calm down (seriously folks?), I have a 1000w GSS Sumo, any thoughts on passive FRFRs that are good and don’t cost as much as a fEarless? Quote
Frank Blank Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I was worried that this thread might have disintegrated then and although I’m not the OP this thread has completely revolutionised my approach to bass amplification and I’ve noticed it seems to attract folk from other forums or just random Googlers who are interested in this subject. I’d hate people to be put off by bickering when this is becoming a really valuable resource, phew. 5 Quote
LukeFRC Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 These look good if anyone near is interested- if I were closer I would think about buying and selling one on... https://www.gumtree.com/p/speakers-monitors/rcf-hd32a-active-pa-speakers-pair-inc-covers-better-than-art-712a-etc-/1325504973 Quote

I’m actually pretty tempted - the only thing that’s stopping me is that there are already several walkabout combos up for sale that don’t seem to be selling 😬 Quote
roblpm Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Great thread. Lots of conversation about the onstage monitor angle. Not so much discussion about what preamp/di setup people are using? I am thinking minimal.....! I have Behringer BDI21 which is I suppose as minimal as there is....! Anyone just using HX Stomp? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Stingray straight in sounds great, the Genz heads I use aren't that different anyway. Quote

I have a Stomp but am yet to use it with my RCF as I’m on tour at the moment. I have no doubt it will sound lovely though. Previously I was using an MXR M81 which worked great. Quote
Delberthot Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I have been using a BDI21 but decided that I'd like something with a bit more control so I've just bought myself an MXR M81 Quote
