Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club
- Thread starter Stumbo
- Start date
For the record, Alex got right back to me, and my cab is already in testing and should dispatch this week.
3 -4 weeks currently according to their website. Just be patient, it is normal to hear nothing until it is ready to ship.
From what I've heard they are different in the lows, bb2 with deep lows and SC having a traditional feel. Yet either one of them works well with a SM
No recommendations re: mounting options for 2 BB2's as PA, sorry. But allow me to chime in supporting the SM/BB2 combination. The modularity is great - small (SM only) medium (BB2 only) large (both).
My dotage led me to seek a light-weight rig and I eventually ended up with a TC BH250 into a BF One10. 16 + 4 lbs = 20 lbs that I can carry in 1 cajon bag.
And of course when a good offer of a 2nd One10 came along I couldn't resist. With just a touch of Spectracomp and the mids dipped a bit I have a my preferred warm sound.
Although I've never tried a 12" BF cab I'm pretty sure the 10"s are the ones for me, weight & size-wise, and tone-wise.
Of the small class D heads I considered I chose the BH250 as it had everything I wanted in 1 light-weight package - compression and tuner. If I want more power then the BH550/800 would suffice.
So, 1 or 2 BF One10s and I'm sorted for good.

So I got me a Vanderkley 3x10 and Aguilar AG700 this summer, but that rig is far to loud for many gigs. I stumbled across a nice One10 that came my way so now I have a monitor when needed and also a handy little rig for those small events.
That blue tolex looks great!
I haven't had an opportunity to play my One10 out yet except for a few impromptu family jam sessions, but I really like how it sounds when playing at home. It's a surprising little cabinet.
My gig rig is a pair of Big Baby 2's and they're fantastic, I sometime wonder if I'd prefer the sound of a pair of Two10s or if they'd be an even better fit (my band plays classic rock, blues rock, and blues). Not sure I'd ever make the switch, but I do wonder sometimes.

Haha, exactly my thoughts. My BB2 is perfect for clean, modern sounds and when 'unobtrusive looking gear' is preferred.
OTOH I'm about to join a classic rock band, where 'visual presence' also plays a role. Not sure I'd ever make the switch, but I do lust for a Six10 sometimes...
I'm a recent owner of a BF Two10, about a month, very happy with the sound but completely different tone and much more powerful and beefy to the much cheaper cab I had before. Sounds great with my Orange Little Bass Thing and G&L L1000.

Well I can finally join the club officially. Got it last week and had the chance to put it through its paces, distortion sounds GREAT and it's VERY loud and cuts well. I have it sitting on top of a MarkBass 115 which I had intended to sell but I actually quite like the two in combination...the Ashdown head is solely a poweramp at this point, I have a Kemper I run through the effects loop.
A one ten with light weight amp head and small short scale bass makes for a great compact portable rig with old school sound

You know, I have an MB500 and I never thought to try it through my One10. I've only used smaller amps with it, an MB200 (sold it a year or so ago) and a Genzler Magellan 350, but it would be interesting to see how it sounds with more power hitting it. The Barefaced site does suggest 250W max to the One10, but it also says it could take up to 500W if it's clean and the MB500 puts out 350W at 8 Ohms. I might have to give that amp a try and see how they sound together (obviously with me paying attention to avoid possible damage).
For that matter, I should try my D800+, too.
Thanks, it's a Rick Turner Model 1, a nice little bass that can create a lot of different tones.
"You know, I have an MB500 and I never thought to try it through my One10."
I use the One Ten for smaller occasions where I don't have to be really loud, so I don't crank the GK to extremes. I think the GK and One Ten sound nice together.
I've been powering two One10s with an MB200 and the stack gets crazy loud. But I agree - GK and the One10 pair very well.
