    NBD: Kala UBass Exotic Mahogany

    Thanks TideSwing. I got in touch with Kala customer service who were very quick to respond and suggest that I reseat the saddle after detuning the strings, effectively pulling the saddle away from the neck, then tuning back up. That made all the difference! I now have an output that matches my...

    NBD: Kala UBass Exotic Mahogany

    Hi, I have just purchased one of these myself but am slightly concerned about the output volume as when plugged into the passive input on my amp, the volume has to be up around 10 o'clock, whereas with my passive Mustang Bass, it would only need to be on about 8 o'clock for a similar, fairly...

    Used my SM with the RM800EVO last night, along with a recently acquired Fender Mustang Bass. Think I have found the sweet spot with this combination. The tonal abilities of the guitar with its short scale and my small hands, along with the full sound of the SM is wonderful. I had the SM perched...

    That is good to know as I have a SM arriving in a few weeks (hopefully) having placed an order a number of days ago. Even though I already own a ST, I just can't wait to try out the SM. It will probably replace the ST as I am fairly sure it will give me all the sounds and volume I need. The ST...

    Took the RM800 EVO out for an inaugural spin last night, sat atop of my ST. We had full PA support, a sound man and I was DI'd. To be honest I did have concerns about using the RM, having never actually turned it on before (crazy I know). I did not need to worry in terms of volume though, as it...

    Sounds like a great combination - would love to hear it also. My principle aim is to lighten the load due to wrist problems, so I might even downsize the ST to an SM as most of my gigs are now mostly pub work. Or I might just try to afford the two of them and have the best of both worlds! Of...

    Picked up an Ashdown RM800 EVO yesterday to power my BF SuperTwin. Be interested to see how it compares to my ABM 500 EVO III. Gigs this Thursday and Saturday will give me a chance to test. I will take both heads so I can make a direct comparison.

    That would interest me too. I wondered about the possibilities of 2xSM with my current ST acting as a sub. I am sure a great PA/music system it would make!

    Ashdown amps

    I had an ABM 300 1x10 combo for about 8 years. The VU meter light went after about 3 of those and Ashdown sent me a new one. I sold that combo four years ago and moved on to an ABM 500 EVO III head. No problems so far - love it. I would now like to try the RM 800 EVO, but not in a hurry. I had a...

    My ST is definitely comparable to an 8x10 so the SM must come close to a 4x10

    Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

    I understand Dave W, I came from a position of using stock Ashdown cabs so the difference was much more profound compared with my Super Twin. I used to worry about whether my previous cabs would cope and often they didn't, so to have something that I don't have a second thought about is quite...

    Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

    I was contacted by someone through the BF users map and we had a few very interesting conversations about our set-ups and my Super Twin. He ended up buying the ST as well, based on my recommendations and the knowledge gained from the BF web site and forums, plus the advantage of having a one...

    I agree with lo-freq, an SC and BB2 seem like the perfect pairing to me - options to use both separately for different tonal needs/demands and then the ability to use them together to almost give you a BT2. What is not to like?

    Barefaced Bass Retro810 Custom

    Don't need an 8x10 as I have my super twin! My goodness it is gorgeous though.
