Confirmed email says March 28. Back then the site said 4-10 weeks but it changed to 4-12 weeks. I emailed and asked if it were possible to get bumped a little bit (got a really important gig for me coming up next week) and he kindly did just that.
Seeing the raise in price I got lucky with that as well :-O
Can't wait!

congrats! Make sure you give it a go before the gig. I didn't get the chance use mine until the day of a gig and it was quite funny listening to the changes throughout the soundcheck and through the night until it was time for our set as the cab loosened up.
My two Super Compacts at two gigs this past weekend. First, one covering a small bar gig with thundering authority. And second, both at an outdoor bar gig kicking butt and taking names.
That's a very nice rig! How do you like the WD-800 through the cab? How loud can a single Super Compact go? Like in terms of a traditional 4x10?
The SC cabs are loud enough for everything I do. I don't care for 4x10s so I can't make a comparison.
I also play through a mesa WD-800 and two super compacts. Last night I played on an outdoor stage at a bike rally. I had the input on the mesa at noon and the master volume at 11am. The sound was more than enough. In fact I can't think of a single time in the three-four years I've used the SC's that I've has to run the master volume on the mesa at noon or higher.
Awesome. I placed my order for two bb3's in April - hopefully will get them this summer. Kinda bummed they didn't get here in time for some of the festivals we've played, but that is life.
Yes, but like the other guy, you are using a pair. What I'm wondering is if a single is enough. I like my setup to be as simple as possible these days. I'll get just one if I can get away with just one.
FWIW it never ceases to amaze me just how easily a single super midget can fill a medium room when powered by a suitable number of watts into its 8 ohm load. Throw 600 watts into it and it's pure magic.
I agree, I run a Quieter bb800 into it and it gets loud and beefy. I'm considering a super compact for a formidable stack (I like having a cab at near-ear level). I've considered going the 810 fridge route since you can find them cheap around New England, but the modularity and sound quality of the BF stuff is amazing.
I prefer the Super Midget to my bb2, although the two of them stacked is pretty awesome. I like the compactness of the sm over the sc, plus the lows are tighter with the smaller cab imo.
Hmmm, I do like the tight lows of the sm, maybe a sm stack would be ideal for me. Currently I have a mismatched stack with a berg hd112 on the bottom for bigger gigs, and it gets really big. I'm really hoping to move into a matched set, at least brand-wise, more for avoiding any possible driver/cab/combfiltering blabadeeboo...
Yes as both my Mesa 800+ and Bergantino Forte HP have hpf. I just like the inherent tightness that the sm brings. Don't get me wrong, there are times when the natural extra depth of the bb2 is appreciated but I would rather get it by boosting lows which the sm handles well.
BB3 ordered 2/2/22 arrived today via DHL express. However when I unboxed it, while it was indeed a BB3 it was without the cover I ordered. Poop. Then I read the packing slip and then the serial number on the cab and it all became clear. Not my order/serial number on the cab and not my order number, name or address on the packing slip. Obviously the ship labels got mixed up at Barefaced. So someone else is enjoying my cab and free cover and I guess they maybe are wondering about why their packing slip and serial number are wrong.
