Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

In terms of volume and power punch, how would you compare the two10 and the SC?
When the Two10 is in 4 ohm mode it is definitely louder and has more power punch. When in 12 ohm mode it sounds great but doesn't have the same volume and punch. I have never directly compared them, but I think the SC performs as well, if not better in terms of volume as the Two10 at 12 ohms. I could easily gig one SC in most of the scenarios I am in, but for bar gigs I used two for the added depth and getting the second cab closer to my ears. I have used the Two10 at 4 ohms in place of the pair of SCs, and while the volume capacity wasn't quite the same, I just love the tone and power punch I get from the 10 inch speakers. That's a personal preference thing much more than a performance thing.
 
Oh yeah I can't wait to fire it up with my reggae bands. The SC was good but I can't wait to hear the BT
I have a big twin II that i use as my general cab and it is superb for reggae. Last week a Dubster 2 came up for sale used at a great price so i snapped it up. I took it out on my reggae gig on saturday with my bb2 and it is totally OTT but sounded incredible.

Love it. I bet that was phat. Would love to try a dubster.

I've been using my SC with great success for a while now. I'm amazed at how much volume and bass it can pump out with my 1000 watt head. I'm hoping the BT will let me go cleaner and lower.
 
I'm intrigued by the one 10, anyone using it to gig with? How does it stand up?

BTW, i own a Super twin and love its power and weight. It's very portable (light weight) but just looking at something as small as possible for rehearsals and home practice for where space is limited. Handling smaller/quieter gigs would also be a bonus! I'm constantly being told to turn down with the ST :spit:

I use two One10 cabs regularly, better that any 4x10 I've ever had.

I used a single One10 for awhile with good results. My band had occasional PA support, but even when we didn't, it was surprisingly clear and loud. And I was putting less than 200 watts into it (GK MB200). Unless you're playing with a high-volume band, it should be great for what you described.

I eventually upgraded to a Two10, but I really miss the size and 15lb carry!

That sounds great! What's the clarity like in tone? Is it much warmer than the 12's?

I've never played the 12s, but it definitely delivers much more punch than any other 1x10 cab I've played. Like their website says, you could be fooled into thinking it was a 2x10 depending on the circumstance. I played several large venues (with PA support) with my One10, and I could definitely hear and feel it onstage.

Now that I think about it, I really should have kept it.

It's been said before, and has been my experience that the BF 10's are warmer than the 12's. The 10's are pretty clear/articulate, but not as much as the flat/accurate reproduction as the 12 cabs. I wouldn't worry about the 10 being sloppy or muddy. But if clarity is your primary goal, the 12's are the way to go. As a bass cab, I'd probably pick the 10 voice. My cabs double as a PA, so I have a BB2 pair.

I'm not too fussed whether the 10's are totally flat in EQ, just don't want a cab that is muddy or woolly. As i said i have the ST which has no tweeter/horn and sometimes i find it too clear for my needs....a bit too "hifi" (although i can always EQ to my taste).
