itsmedunc Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Waiting on a sale of the RCF's. The FR800's will be withdrawn when the sale is complete. Thanks for the interest everyone. £1600 for the RCF's and £2000 for the BF FR800's. May do some sort of trade with a BF LF1400. May PX with cash my way. Fender, Squier VI, Basses, guitars, audio interface, field recorder, macbook etc etc. Just try me. RCF 745 - Not sure about this sale but I'll see what happens. UPDATE - RCF replied to an email I sent them this morning. Quite an interesting read really. According to them we are all mis-informed about the 745 model numbers! There were no MK2 or Mk3's. Straight from the original to MK4! Confusing stuff... Dear Duncan, the speaker QBQP02188 has been manufactured in February 2016; it is the ART ART745-A 230V (the generation before MK4, there were no MK2 or MK3 of the ART 745-A) Hope it helps thanks and regards Customer Service RCF S.p.A. Via Raffaello, 13 - 42124 Reggio Emilia - Italy Tel. +39 0522 274 411 - Fax: +39 0522 232 428 www.rcfaudio.com I bought them from another BC'er (Geddys Nose) a while back and literally have not been used in any form of anger. He bought them but bought an Evox 12 rig not long after and so didn't use them either. Fantastic piece of kit and in great condition.. Read any review or just search on here. Great condition. You don't even have to take them out of the covers to gig them! Barefaced - Barefaced FR800's which I bought brand new about 18 months ago. Hardly used in that time. Both in great condition. Whichever pair sell first, I'll keep the other. Reason for sale is - I'm tired of being the PA bloke / bass player and they are not being used enough to justify having both pairs. Will get some better pics when I can make a bit more space to get at them! Will consider shipping at buyers cost. I still have the original BF packaging. Sorry, UK only sale as I'm sick of being charged ludicrously high bank fees on non U.K. sales. . Edited April 5, 2019 by itsmedunc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only stops getting tired when you get paid extra to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 No extra for me unfortunately. Just a house full of gear that I have to store and carry to and fro. 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intime-nick Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 i don't know to be totally honest - they look like MK4s - will tag Russ @EBS_freak - he knows better than me on such things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've managed to get a couple more pics of the rear posted jut in case they can shed any light to anyone. I also emailed RCF last night with serials to try and find out MK and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 These RCF are Mk2 - the grille shape has changed since these and there’s also FiRPHASE on the Mk4. (Not that that is anything most people should worry about) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was to bring all the shape changes of the cabinets and new phase tech into line so the range became mk4 to avoid confusion (but then created another confusion) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine match the ones in the picture above... and my receipt says RCF 745A Mk2. So there you go! A complete blizzard of confusion. It does seem to be a bit of an odd one - I thought it was a Mk2 based on the amp changes that happened since the mishaps of the 715 original amp. Then with the reshape of the grille, the design went to Mk4 (assuming that they are based on the changes in the other range that were already at Mk3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Agreed. It's blo0dy confusing! How did they get such a good speaker together at all when they can't sort its name out properly! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
