Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club
- Thread starter Stumbo
- Start date
Played a socially distanced outdoor patio gig last night, and it was my first chance to use this setup outside of the bedroom. My gig was with a trio (bass, drums, vocals/acoustic guitar), and I never had the volume past 10:00. EQ set flat on the MB200. Bass was my JMJ Mustang. It sounded incredible as expected, and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to crank it up even louder sometime soon.
After owning a single One10, a Two10, and a Super Compact, this is my personal favorite Barefaced setup. And I love that I can bring one of them to something more low volume.

Hello there. Any reason why I get no sound out of my supertwin when I use the top most speakon connector and yet the lower one works fine? This is the first time I've used it since my last gig in March where it all worked as it should. Any thoughts?
They are wired in parallel so they should both work the same. Sounds like a wire came loose. Unscrew the plate and check for a disconnected wire.
That little stack looks like the definition of "punching above its weight class"!
I've undone the 4 main screws holding the back plate on but the plate is absolutely stuck solid and I can't prise it off without badly damaging the finish! Think I'll email barefaced and get some advice.
You are correct! The head is only sending 100 watts to each cab, but you'd never know it from the amount of volume and punch.
I have just acquired a 2nd One10 and possess a similar rig to @friskinator albeit with a different head. I also have an Elf which goes very nicely with them. London is in lockdown again but I look forward to firing them up when we are back in the rehearsal studios. At the moment I'm just enjoying looking at them and home practise.
The GK 200 is a very sweet sounding little amp.
Should be a great match with the cabs.

Is there going to be another great Black Friday/Holiday sale this year?? (Sorry if this was discussed already, I've been out of the loop)
Hmm good question. I'm considering a Two10s (I have a Four10 already) so a Christmas deal would probably sway me to buying new again instead of holding out for a used one.
Two 10s plus a Four 10 is a great combination and amazingly versatile. There is not a gig you cannot do with these two cabs. Interestingly, while it is tempting to use the "Six 10" option with both cabs coupled I have found that sometimes it is preferable to stick with a single Four 10 and push the drivers harder. The Six 10 option kills but needs a decent space to open it up and let those tens sing with that special character Alex has baked into them.

No. We learnt a lot from that sale, especially quite a painful discovery of how small our actual profit margins are...
Damn, if it's any consolation please know that when those 3 comes together they put a huge smile on my face
Nice set up! I have a similar one and am interested in potentially saving up for a barefaced cab. Which one do you use and how do you like it?
As my band started to regularly gig a tiny bar that only had a small 10inch combo (mind you that SWR workingman 10 is actually great) I wanted something with a little bit more headroom but also lightweight enough to be carried in the train or taxi (downtown Tokyo, no car).
So I got first a One10 that I gigged with my GK MB200 head, I had to pushed it a bit but it worked actually fine even with 5 strings and effect (dirt, envelop). Loved the baked sound of the One10 and it's a great combination with the GK. As I wanted something with a liiiiittle bit more head room it was either moving to the 12inch Super Midget (I don't need to increased power of the bigger one) or get another One10. With BF doing their NOTBLACKFRIDAY sale last year I jumped on the most expensive option. Actually can't tell you much about what I prefer because I could not gig it yet but surely one cab is easier to move around for me.
As the cab was deemed more "neutral" I also went with 2 heads that have a lot of character.
Still my heart balance between the 2 cab, my One10 is sitting at a friend's place with the TH500, I have potentially a quiet gig (Soul/Jazz acoustic, singer/guitar/bass) for which the one10 would be perfect. For my full band the Super Midget is more suited to keep up with the drummer. If rooms and budget allows for it I'll keep the two.
Oh, also they look great!
