Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

Two of my three One10 cabs, powered by a Genzler Magellan 350. The head on top is powering the PA wedges. I use a wireless, and in the first number I go out front to get a balance. The Barefaced cabs are louder out front than they are on stage, I had to turn down heaps to stay balanced.

Anyone happen to know what PayPal charges to covert Dollars to Pounds? Only thing I could find is a 'transfer fee' of $1.99.
When I bought my Two10s in Dec, I didn't get charged a transfer fee paying with a credit card. My fee came from my credit card not having free International transactions so I paid just about $30 for that.

I believe the transfer fee you see is if you do a straight transfer from a bank acct to pay.

Yes, your credit card company will hit you with the international fee if applicable. It might be worth looking into a fee-free card for this purchase. Even if you use the card through PayPal, it will still incur the international fee. I use a Capitol One Venture card - no international fees and no annual fee.

I'll be interested to hear your report on the DB751 with Barefaced cabs. I am sure it can't be terrible.
I have been using a DB751 with a Barefaced Big Twin II for the past five years. The BT2 is audiophile hi-fi accurate, so I was a bit surprised by a significant upper bass hump using the DB751 with all tone controls at 12 o'clock. It is easily solved by turning down the bass control on the amp a bit, and the tone controls on the 751 are pretty potent. This bass hump is not there with my other amps; Ampeg SVT3 pro and Mark Bass Little Mark III.
My impression is that the 751 would be better suited to the Barefaced 10 range, while the BT2 really complements the class D types like the Mark Bass.
 
Its taken me some time to warm up to my Two10, but this past weekend was a turning point for me. Ive played this church with the same gospel group every year and this year was great, the BF cab had headroom to spare, the cab was tight, focused, and easy to load out. Now If I could just kick the urge to trade it for a pair of One10s ;) GAS works mysterious ways.

That bass is beautiful, too. Love that finish.
 
hey @dave64o
Thanks man. yeah, I lucked into that G&L in a trade. I was stoked to get it and digging it especially for this group, but Im more of an ebony and rosewood sorta guy. So ive been on the look out &^)

BTW, you should haul your BF cabs up to the city for my NYC BF GTG!
 
Just purchased my first Barefaced bass cab - a Big Baby2. I only paid for it today so it is now in the production queue at Barefaced. Cant wait to get it - i have been wanting to buy one for a couple of years of more. I have only heard great things about these cabs. I currently don't have a proper bass rig - i am currently playing through a Tech21 Dug Pinnick Sig pedal and listening through a set of headphones - i do have a Trace Elliot Quad combo but it is currently in storage (too bulky to have at home). Anyways this waiting time for it to be manufactured and shipped to New Zealand will allow me enough time to decide on what amp to get for it.
I will show some pics of the cab after it arrives in Dunedin NZ hopefully in the next few weeks or so :)

Hiya Bronze! If it's any help, I have played GK, Trace, Ampeg, TC and Acoustic Image through my Barefaced cabs, and the best sound (for me) comes from my current Genzler Magellan. EQ flat, just a tweak on the contour knob and I'm done. This is the last rig I will ever need to buy, it is the best sound I have had in my life.
