My One10 was delivered the first week of November, and I still haven't received anything from FedEx. Is this unusual?

It happens. I've purchased four cabs from Barefaced. I received FedEx bills for the first three, I have yet to receive one for the 4th that I received months ago. I know at least one other TBer who never received a FedEx bill for his cab, which I believe was a BB2.

I purchased an SC last spring (love it - use it for pretty much everything I do), and a One10 last summer (like it a lot - use it mostly for certain practice situations because it's so easy to carry). Have yet to receive a customs bill of any sort.

Have not gigged with both together, but FWIW, as a living room pairing, I do like the combination very much, driven with a Mesa Subway D800. Not so much with a GK MB200.

And I'm noodling with the idea of one cab solution for small-to-medium size venues. I like my super-easy-to-carry two One10 stack but as much as I was a fan of modular solutions before I'm now leaning to just one cab that fits all situations. What do you guys think? BB2 or SM or SC? I've read many feedbacks that although BB2 is light enough for its power it is not that portable ergonomically compared to SC and SM?

Funny you should mention that. I just picked up a BB2 yesterday from a fellow TB'er. After paying him for it, all I've done with it so far is carry it from his apartment, put it in my car, take it out of my car, and carry it down to my basement (I haven't even had a chance to play it since getting it home yet!). I was immediately struck by just how incredibly light it is, but I was also a little surprised by how large it seemed. However, I wouldn't say it was difficult to carry or to maneuver around.

I haven't been lucky enough to try a Super Midget yet, but I'd also be interested in hearing what people think of its size compared to a Big Baby 2 because I've already been thinking that an SM would be a good second cabinet to go with the new-to-me BB2 I just got. Seems like quit a few people I've seen post here have that combination and rave about it.

.....looking forward to your impressions after pushing some serious electron flow through that box :-)

I have been playing the SM and BB2 for almost a year. They pair nicely and it allows lots of flexibility, if I need more, stack them and get your full amp wattage, use the SM for rehearsal, small gigs and also the BB stand alone for medium size venues.
Had the pair running at a gig Friday, lots of compliments. Usually run a Subway 800, Magellan 800, or a Genz Streamliner.
Love the portability, the guitarists are always jealous on the schlep.

I'm stuck at work late tonight and probably won't get home until about 10:00, in which case it will be too late to play at all. Tomorrow will probably be another long day. But then I'm on vacation starting Thursday through Monday Jan 2, so I'll get my opportunities to hear it soon enough. And hopefully I'll also get the house to myself a few times while I'm on vacation so I can crank the master knob a lot farther clockwise than I can when everyone is home. :D

FWIW, I did give the cab a quick test while at the seller's apartment using a Stingray 5, which I have, and an MB800, which I also have. So it was nice to get a good sense of what I can expect from it with my gear. Even at pretty low volume (a lot of his neighbors were home), I was surprised by the force of the punch I felt from each note. Yes, the fundamental and first harmonics of low notes came through nicely. But all notes, regardless of register, seemed to also have a ... what's the word I'm looking for .... percussive impact (?) that I don't get from the cabs I have at home (which are pretty nice cabs - a pair of Dr. Bass RX112's and a Bergantino AE410). That's what I can't wait to see at higher volume - how well does that impact of each note come across.

Maybe a Two10?
