And they don't sound half bad either. I do like a bit of colour. I had a pair of bright red TKS 1126 cabs, and when I decided I no longer wanted them I got a few people commenting "I'd love those, shame they're red" Quote

The main reason I didn't was the appearance - I just can't get away from the fact they remind me of early 90s budget brand Custom Sounds albeit to a somewhat higher standard! Appearance wise my favourites are probably some of the custom TKS cabs (I seriously considered your red ones because I liked the colour!) but from reading countless reviews the Barefaced seemed to be the better bet for my needs at the time and Alex was very helpful.

Ha! I can see the resemblance! The TKS 1126 looked fantastic, and also sounded great. They just were not what I really wanted. I ended up preferring a "not quite as good looking" pair of BB2... until I settled on the pair of Two10 I have now. I'm done looking for cabs. Shame they're black Quote

JazzBass4624 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I have two VdK 112 cabs and they sound fantastic! The red is not so bright as the above Custom Sound and to my taste gives them a classy look. Prices on mainland have not changed for quite some time. Quote

Looks fine - probably looks more balanced just having the two big Marshalls either side of the stage. A bigger bass rig would make it look unbalanced... well, to me anyway. Quote

Where was that Russ, looks a decent venue, shame the bassist couldn`t bring a proper set-up though (runs for cover). 1 Quote

Grrrrrrr! Its the Lane Theatre in Newquay mate, not exactly local, but a great venue and people. We did the gig for a local Parkinsons disease charity, the guitarists dad is a sufferer and lives down that way, his dad was there and it was the 1st time he had ever seem his son on stage..was quite a night and we raised nearly a grand! Not bad for a 140 seater venue!! 3 Quote

Jock Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Not a fan boy but If anyone is interested the Bass Gallery still have a couple of cabs in stock at the old prices. Quote
Conan Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Maybe the increase is to pay for the new product line? 2 3 Quote
fleabag Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I think Alex should name his next new cab build the same as that Quote
