Very Nice Dave! I am waiting in the next couple of day's for my BB2. Did you order the extra feet for them on the side?

I didnt even think about extra feet. I assumed (rightly) that two sets were included, as thats how my RT10 came as well.
I have ordered a cover for it........and the wait is killing me lol.
Good luck with your BB2.

Do you feel you can hang with a loud drummer with that rig?
How many watts on the head?
There's a lot on that website........just wish I understood some of it lol.
I will find out Thursday. The TC is 800 watts. We play loud rock/blues and I won't have to carry outside stadium type sound without PA, so I feel pretty good about it.
Very interested in your funding.
I'm contemplating a 110 vs a 210. I've already got a SC and SM.
I got a notification today that my BB2 has shipped. It will be here tomorrow (Friday).
Can't wait. A big thanks to Alex and the crew for working 25 hours a day to get me this so quickly. Timing couldn't have been more perfect. Got a 4 hour rehearsal in a room I've used many times on Sunday, and I
L have some. Time with it on Saturday at work. I'll have time to break it in and compare it to my 1212L, all before the next gig.
Cheers Alex.

Having a One 10 makes it eminently clear to me that if a good high end 212 would be enough, a pair of these little 110 wonders will do the job with ease. If the job calls for a 410 pushed to max volume it would still probably be OK but "close".
I used to own one of those angled baffle Schroeders. As far as going from that cab to a Barefaced is concerned: welcome back to the world of bass.
Yep. That's what I'm hoping for.
After so many years of using those Schroeder cabs, and to very good effect with no real complaints, we started rehearsing in local studios, and I started using more conventional cabs. It was a revelation. Couldn't believe how much I was missing tone wise. No complaints with getting the job done, but I've always felt the cabs have too much of their own unique character that doesn't always work.
When I got the RT10 I was knocked out how good the low notes sounded. So clear and solid. Hoping the BB2 keeps that going with the low end, and the rest will be just perfect.
Yeah, it's taken me years to realise this.
Hopefully a thing of the past. The plan is to get shot of it ASAP, so even if the BB2 dosnt grab me at first, I won't be temped to keep going back to it like I did when I had my RT10.
Im still rocking the supertwin and loving it. The only ported cab ive ever loved. If someone gets bored with their 4ohm retro 210, pm me.
My BB2 is the most addictive piece of gear I have, or had. Brand new sounded ok, but it became fantastic after a prolonged break in period of using 20 hz in my living room (it's such a low frequency that neighbors don't even realize it's in the domain of music, and it's really hard to detect after one or two walls, unless you want your woofer to explode. My wife did not complain at all, and the woofer moved like a big piston, cool.
Another thing people do usually miss with the 12xn550 driver. Just try to turn completely off the fantastic horn and boost a tad your high mids and highs, you'll be surprised at how much definition and clarity you can get. Usually i use a mix of woofer and horn, but sometimes when i play traditional stuff I use the woofer alone...very cool vintage meets modern tone.
This has to do with the awesome crossover circuit that allows the woofer to be run fullrange when the horn is off, and runs it lowpassed when the horn provides the highs, and everything in between, fantastic design

Yeah, ive tried running an external mid and tweet and like it but, find that just cranking some treble to the woofers projects much better in a mix.
My BB2 arrived this morning, but i wont be able to use it until tomorrow. First impressions are very good though. It seems more heavy duty than the RT10, probably because of the weight and covering. I like that, and glad it doesn't look too small.
Cant wait to plug it in tomorrow, and the full on rehearsal on Sunday.
Thanks for the tips, ill be sure to try most combinations of tweeter/woofer.
