I had 2 One10's, 2 Two10's, 2 Super Compacts and a Super Midget. Loved them all but when I put together the SM and SC I knew the other cabs were not going to get played. I sold the Two10's and an SC, the One10's are my practice rig at home. So down to 4 cabs, but I ordered a BB2 in the sale, so in January we'll see how that fits in to my sound.

You will love BB", I started with that one, and then BT2... and then for small gigs One10

Yes! The SM SC combo is what I want to do as well. I have the SC, but with the SM, I probably will not be using my One10 much, so maybe a funding oppo for the SM....

Looking for a. Super Compact Gen 3 if anyone has one for sale.

someone is selling a pair that can be separate in the classifieds. Buy one or both before I do.

I’ve known about BF for quite some time now, but only recently heard one in person for a few minutes and was pretty impressed. I’ve been trying to find info in here but I haven’t seen a direct comparison. Apologies if I blindly missed it. I’m all Aguilar and Noble Pre right now. I either use a Tonehammer500 with a db112 or a 4ohm DB212. If you have played both Aguilar and BF 12” cabs, what will I be gaining flavor wise from switching to BF cabs? Was looking at either a SC or a ST. I play in wedding bands but also do original music where it gets pretty rockin’. Will I miss the tweeter? I go between an F Bass and vintage P Basses. I want something tight and punchy. Thanks in advance.

I had two nice db112 (white hot) love the cabs but, Barefaced just sounded better. I replaced the db's with an Big Baby 2. One single 12 cab sounded as big as my two aggies. What I liked about the bb2 is the flat response speaker. The Cab will reproduce the sound I send to it. Nothing baked in. I own the Bb2 and super midget. Best move I ever made.

I'm with you! Love the flat response of Barefaced! I have a Super Compact and a Big Twin II. Mostly the SC is more than adequate for me; BT2 is overkill.

I'm pondering on getting BF as well... similarly gonna be running it with th700 and between P with flats and Jazz 5'er. How is Two10 voicing in comparison to DB112? I understand SC/BB2 are just like getting loud monitors?

That is a strong endorsement from one of the hardest working pro bassists around.

sorry I missed your show in Richmond. Hope you make it back through town one of these days.

FYI there is a Minutemen tribute band in RVA now that plays every once in a while.

I currently gig with a Mesa Powerhouse 4ohm 600 watt 210 and a Mesa M9 Carbine. This combination is pretty much more than adequate for monitoring myself even on outdoor stages. I am really looking for something much lighter though , possibly a single 112 cab that can still put out good clean volume and low end comparably in the same scenario. The Super Compact and Big Baby 2 are of great interest to me but I don't really need a lot of top end from a horn so more concerned about general cab performance in terms of clean sound , dispersion , and low end performance. Wondering how each cab might perform with an M9 sending 320 watts to 8ohms as opposed to 600 to 4 ohms as well in terms of overall output? Always appreciate any info !

 

[Pbassmanca]

I did a last minute reggae sub gig running 1000 watts through a super compact and it shook a good sized room. I was astounded. I’m sure you will be fine.

Are you serious man? That's just crazy! I need something light , loud , and low for a nine piece funk - soul band that usually plays with good FOH support. I just need to be able to use one lightweight cab to be able to project clear , fat , punchy P bass with flats tone across a good size stage or medium size room.

 

[Tim1]

Still very tempted to order a BB2 but so permanently in awe of my Four 10 and Two 10 that I just cannnot imagine anything better. Last gig I was cranking my Aguilar DB751 into both cabinets (= Six 10) and they just took it all with bass boosted too. Unbelievably awesome. Huuuge tone. Might have to just order another Two 10 so I can stack for an Eight 10 option. Seriously after over 40 years of bass playing I cannot imagine ever moving to another brand of cabinets.

SC is a powerful little beast. It would probably be good for your purposes.

The SC would definitely do the job. I use mine with a Mesa D-800 and it definitely sounds like you just described.

Funny I’ve been kicking around the idea of a 751 with a eight10. I think that should cover most volume needs.
