A bass player pal of mine (this guy, in fact) uses a Barefaced cab. It is definitely very loud and very light! New prices are a fair bit outside my price range, but I'll keep an eye out for a second hand one. _________________ BEIGE PALACE | THANK
I've spotted a Super-Sonic 60 head for cheap, and I think I'm gonna go for it. I definitely prefer the flexibility of a head/cab, and was only really considering a combo because the options for Fender-style heads are so limited.
I think there's a 22 watt version of the Super-Sonic now, but the 60 watt ones were made from something like 2007 - 2015. Unsure on the year of the one I'm looking at. It seems to have been marketed mostly as a "high gain" amp, but the clean channel is switchable between a Bassman and a Vibrolux style circuit, with only 3 knobs (volume, treble and bass) and no reverb. Suits me down to the ground, I love simplicity.
Anyone wanna tell me I'm making a mistake, before I pull the trigger? _________________ BEIGE PALACE | THANK
I've no experience other than the Super Sonic model on Amplitube3, super nice drive sounds for a Fender; I'd imagine this has something in common with the modern Bassmans. Bassmen.
Also, the geezer from Primus uses one.
That INTHEBLUES guy has a demo on YT, cranking the clean channel- it's mad loud but doesn't stay clean:
I mean, I don't mind some breakup. I'm not looking for Roland Jazz Chorus cleans or anything (in fact I borrowed one for a gig a few months back and fucking hated it).
This one is such a good price that I reckon I'll have no trouble making my money back if it turns out not to be what I'm looking for. _________________ BEIGE PALACE | THANK

I think I'm gonna! The seller has agreed to hold it for me until the 24th (soonest I'm actually able to collect), so I just need to make sure I've got all my financial shit in one sock before then. _________________ BEIGE PALACE | THANK
Also I'm unsure whether Tim is taking the piss re: Radiohead.
Generally I think they're pretty naff (although I cannot pretend I didn't have a big "phase" around age 17 lol ) but I absolutely 100% heavily fuck with In Rainbows. _________________ BEIGE PALACE | THANK
