Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

[CTC564]

Not an owner anymore, but I used to have a Compact and dug it.

I have a tone sample in this thread: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/barefaced-bass-compact-gk-mb500-tone-samples-868479/

Just curious as to why you no longer have it if you liked it?

I'll post a pic of my rig later, but I have a Barefaced Big One and it's great!

Essentially, its because I would liked to have two and could not afford it. Small cabs are great for portability but if I use only one the sound will just fire at my knees on small stages (which I play on at half of my gigs). Two Compacts would have been great. Good height right by my ears and great tone.

The other half of the story is I got a 12/6 in a trade and find (naturally) that it matches up with my fEARful 15/6 very well. I am currently in the midst of building a fEARful 15/6 out of Italian Poplar and already own one made of fibreglass.

Single Compact on top of something for height will probably cover you.

My S12, since 10/2011. Yup, still happy with her.

This rig makes me very happy. It's perfect for the kind of gigs I play, so, naturally, I want more.

Seriously considering a Big Twin T to go with my Genz Benz SM 9.2

Anyone have experience with this cab and how it might compare with two high end 210's like a Berg?

 

[B'Boom]

I shall like to be member of this club, but the 69er is not still available on the market - more than a month of delay....

 

[Merton]

I'll dig out a pic of my GK MB fusion on top of my S12T

Previous to that I had a Vintage (precursor to the S15). Both stonking cabs, only went tithe S12 for practical reasons (it fits in my car, haha!)

 

[nickhudson]

just ordered a second Compact - wall of sound here we come

few weeks to wait but it WILL be worth it....

I’m not an owner - but, I’m a fan. Those Compacts and Super Fifteens are sweat looking.

 

[Otso]

I'm all in favor of keeping things modular to add some flexibility to ones rig while saving the old spine a little bit more

The Big Twin cabs have tiltback wheels and they are incredibly light for theirs size, so even a Big Twin won't be much of a strain for the spine. An extremely easy cab to move around.

I don't have experience with any high end 210's (the only 210 I've used was some markbass one I used a few times, which was quite lacking in the low end IMO), but I don't think that many/any pair of 210's could handle as much power or have the low end and transparency (=versatility IMO) of the Big Twin T.

 

[CTC564]

Thanks Otso...I'm going to be placing an order for a Big Twin T in the next week or so...the next 4-6 weeks after its placed will be brutal I'm sure :-(

Can't wait!!!

 

[Essen]

Yep.

But it's worth it
