The Barefaced cabs are now available to ship to the USA. Details and pricing are available on his website. Anybody in the USA sprung for one yet? The build quality appears to be top notch and his take on speaker design/performance is certainly interesting.

I hope for the sake of his potential clients that he has researched (and is using) a service like that. Otherwise, the auxiliary costs for buying one of these could really get out of hand.
Brokerage fees + taxes + duty = a lot more than the posted prices. |

Have been planning to get a GB NeoX 212T, but now I really really want a Super 12!
Quick question though - what's the difference between a Super 12 and a Super 12T? I couldn't find it on the website, although maybe I'm just dyslexic.
Oh... does Canada count as the US? Normally I'd be unhappy to be lumped in there with the US of A, but just this once, I'd be happy to let it slide!

|  | Less Ebay, more Mel Bay | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Phoenix, AZ | | Now what Alex needs is a factory over here so we can cut those prices down to something I can afford. Because that's what matters 
The price to performance ratio is there though. It's amazing that Alex can get you Midget T for 850 shipped from England, where build costs are not cheap, for similar prices to what a lot of boutique manufacturers are charging here. And he uses an amazing plywood that's leaps and bounds ahead of the light poplar everyone else is using.

I believe it uses a Beyma 605nd instead of a 6nd410, and the crossover is significantly superior to the GB crossover I'd imagine (I want to say Alex uses higher slopes but I don't think he's revealed much about it).

Will Bass Gear do a review of Barefaced cabs anytime soon?
(or has BG already done a review perhaps??)
