Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

I am curious as to how popular the silver face grill is. All my 10's are/will be silver grill, both 12's are black steel.
I'm approaching this the same way. Both of my SCs are black steel and my just ordered Two10 will be silver cloth to fit the formerly named Retro theme of the 10s. This will continue if there are any more BF cabs in my future.

Anyone ever run the 210 with a BB2- together? 2.67 ohm load.

Reason I ask is I might like to have both. One for old school sonics(210) and one for modern tones. Occasionally, I might run them together for outdoor gigs.
This type of thing has been on my mind. Best of both worlds or opposing forces? Someone will have to let us know. I also would like to pair a Two 10 with a MAS B28. Heresy for sure but the dark side always draws one in.
 
NOT spending is something rarely regretted, unless it's a once-in-blue-moon opportunity, or a critical need. As you say, you can always get one later; it's not one of a kind and they are going to continue to make as many as people will buy. If you NEEDED a cab NOW that would be different. You'll be glad hwen you pay off your car, or aren't wiped out by an unexpected bill or setback. If you're in doubt, then it's probably better not to throw down. Sometimes I decide to wait a week/month/year and then see if I still want it; too often I find that I don't (or realize I don't need it). You know the old saying about boutique bass cabs-- he who hesitates has an extra $1000 in the bank ;)
You're a better man than me. I seem to be able to resist GAS-related temptation for quite a while but eventually one of two things seems to happen. I spend too much time in a related thread and then somehow, suddenly, I decide I simply have to have "it", whatever "it" is, and buy it. Or else a used "it" in almost new condition suddenly falls into my lap and I buy it immediately, and with little or no internal mental debate, before the opportunity has a chance to evaporate.

But I guess you already knew that. You were an integral part of the circumstances that dropped my One10 into my lap. :D

LOL, you're welcome. Believe me, the irony was not lost on me, that I should be praising the virtues of "just saying no" a day after placing an order for my 5th Barefaced cab. But, I did have to say no to every other piece of gear in the universe., so there's that. ;) Sorry, Ken Smith 5-string, Handbox amp, and miscellaneous supplementary gear. You didn't make the cut.

So what happens if you order now while the new prices aren't up yet?

I was thinking the same thing. I was going back and forth on if/when to order, then the rest of the day/night got crazy and I couldn't even think about it anymore. Last night I mean. I guess I should take it as a sign??? I did think about just placing an order!!

Why am I the only person who likes silver cloth or something?

J
I prefer the silver cloth. Have it on my Super Compact :)

I love the silver cloth. I was under the assumption it was more coveted over black, hence the overall absence of pictures with black cloth more or less on the net. It's very Retro classy; the black just better suits my personal style of music is all.
