I'm slightly jealous. I've been waiting on my Super Twin since the first of February. Dang supply chain issues....*grumble grumble grumble*
I'm sure it will be worth it
Sorry, once I posted that, I thought it seemed wrong. It was.
Looking more carefully at my email history with Alex and Co, I can see I actually originally placed an order for a Two10S back in November. I was wanting a match to my SVT silver/blue cloth. Ultimately, that was not available, plus I changed my mind about a couple of other aspects of the order that caused further delays. The order was finalized on 4/5.
The amazing part is that it shipped from the UK yesterday and is on the truck for delivery in Indianapolis today!

My One10s took twelve weeks to build and two weeks to get to me. One day from England to Memphis where it got hung up in customs. I sent the required documents in twice and the cab sat in the facility for two weeks before it was shipped to me. How fortunate you are to get it so quickly. But all is good and it's a wonderful little cabinet.
Got my tracking info, sent in the customs form to Fedex, Two10s and reformer 112 incoming.
I put in an order for a BBIII on 2/11 and haven't heard anything yet, so it looks like they're holding to their ~12 week lead time on those. (When I ordered the range was actually 4-10 weeks!) I'm moving next month so I'm going to have to reach out to them if I don't hear soon..
I was interested to read on Facebook from someone who had taken delivery of a SupertwinT. My initial thoughts were why not just get a Big Twin but on reflection I suppose you get a slightly lighter and smaller Big Twin. Since I rarely need the full extension of the horn on my Big Baby this is actually quite appealing. I wonder if anyone knows the cost of a Supertwin T compared to the Big Twin.
Since I actually prefer the more restricted lows of my Super Midget over my bb2 this only makes the idea of a Supertwin T even more appealing. Still can't work out from the website what a Supertwin T would cost.
While I doubt I'll need the extended range of the BBIII's I have on order, I was after a good FRFR cab. I do use a HPF to taste and compensate for boomy venues to clean up the mud.
Not sure what a Supertwin T is, but here is what I got from there website.
edit: I am guessing the T is for a tweeter add on, and if correct is likely a custom build. I suspect you will need to e-mail them directly…

Yes, the T is for a tweeter add on, which I believe is the same tweeter as used in the Super Midget and is apparently available for all the non tweeter cabs. Hence the One 10T, so it is more of a standard adaptation than a custom build. I just cannot find on the website where you select it. Just found Bassdrifter's post from April 21st where he posted the details from the website but blowed if I can figure out where he found it. Interestingly Barefaced state it is only available for the 10s, but obviously they are prepared to adds it to the Supertwin also, if asked.
Makes sense. I have the BB3 (actually the FIRST US production unit SN BB3-001) and having the tweeter is just sweet to quickly add (or subtract) a significant sonic element and is much nicer than trying to do that with the amp or bass controls, which act more like filters.
I haven't seen the specs of the BB3, but if it's anything like the BB2 then it's got a "neodymium HF compression driver with cast aluminium waveguide", which is a bit more sophisticated than the tweeter that the Super Midget and "T" models have.
