It arrived. I plugged it in, and it sounded perfect. I love that new cab smell.

After a couple years of procrastination, I ordered a BB2 today
In anticipation of a major price increase, I ordered another Big Twin II today!
TWO Big Twins?! I've never heard a Big Twin, but I guess I will once you plug in that second one. Without having to leave NJ. 
They're already expensive...why do you think there will be an increase?
They announce it today on FB. "A fairly significant increase on all orders placed after Feb 28th"
Yup, Stu_Bass is correct. Actually, they talked about it a couple of weeks ago in an email, or maybe it was here on TB, but I remember hearing about it a bit ago...

That's what I'm goin' for!
Since I started using a wet/dry setup, I've had to put my BTII on the sidelines. I'm a fan of matching cabs, and, fortunately, I have a pair of Ampeg PN-410s(I also have a pair of LDS 15/6/1s, but I prefer the Ampegs) that I was able to put back in service. I ditched all those cabs for my BTII, which can do the same job as the Ampegs and the LDSs, but with my new setup, I need two cabs. It really isn't about being loud, although I got a significant volume increase
D), I just wanna use the best cab I ever owned, so I need another one...
Sounds like Barefaced is going to start making guitar cabs and bass amps now. Can't wait to see what they have in store. Here's the e-mail they sent out:
Good news and bad news...
The bad news first: Our prices are going up. The good news: We're not going to change them until the 1st March*.
We'd rather not do this but making cabs with this level of performance and providing the service we do is expensive - every component we use is the best possible and we lavish serious time, care and attention during manufacture to achieve this handmade quality.
If you buy a Barefaced cab you're buying cutting edge performance, outstanding tone and the highest quality bass cab - not just built to last but built to still have outstanding sonic performance in many years' time.
How much will they increase by? We're not exactly sure yet, we're going through some deep analysis of our costs to work out what we have to do - but it'll be a fairly significant increase.
We're sorry we're having to do this but quality this good doesn't come cheap - and if Barefaced is going to be around in many years time, still building amazing cabs and still providing great customer support, we have to be sensible about what we charge for them. We still believe that if you invest in some Barefaced cabs you'll sound better and usually end up financially better off in many years time - get the best and that's it, no more spending on bass cabs!
And your awesome tone might book you some more gigs. ;-)
*To be 100% clear - deposits placed before 1st March 2018 will pay the current price, even if the cab ships afterwards.
Exciting new products!
It's not all doom and gloom though, my friends.
We're two months into 2018 and we're making fantastic headway with the design and manufacturing of some brand new products that we're sure you're going to love! So, keep an eye on our website and social media platforms for reviews and releases. Subtle hint - any guitarists you know should start following us... As should any bassists wanting the best amp possible!
You may remember our limited edition 'Tweedy10's' (as pictured below.)
We're toying with the idea of staggering limited edition models throughout the year, what style would you like to see on a One10? Any thoughts, give us a shout!

I am anxious to hear your thoughts once you have that Behringer NU4-6000 connected to them.
Ordered it today. I'll have it and my new synths next week. I expect an eviction notice or a cease and desist order to follow shortly
Question for Super Compact owners. I have a 800watt, 4 ohm, Glasstone Lil G 212, which is 15 1/2" wide. I was thinking of ordering a SC to use on its own, and to use on top of the LIL G if I really need immense volume. BUT, the SC is 17 1/2" wide. Curious as to where the feet are located and if it could still sit on top? I mean they could always stand side by side, I was just curious. (FYI I have the Glasstone in the classifieds for sale now but may keep it)
Just measured mine, the outside of the feet = 14 1/2" wide so it should be no problem.
Feet are on two sides. When facing the cab: length (port and handle on top) and end (port/handle on right side)
Alright folks, I'm really torn. My super midget just sold (quickly as I suspected it would) and I can't decide between the TWO10 and the Big Baby. The midget was great, I just need a little more bottom to be able to double on all my gigs. I miss the sound of good 10's but I don't want to lose out on too much low end. Anyone have any sage words of wisdom?
BB2 is similar to SM. It has a bit more lows and highs, more full and a little less punchy.
