Ooooooooo…. I can't imagine playing in a situation where I'd need four Barefaced 12s, but I'd love to play through them.

Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club
- Thread starter Stumbo
- Start date
In a month or two I should have a super twin with a super third (half of a super twin). I cannot Wait to report back once it arrives and I get a chance to put it through its paces. So excited.
Just got my shipping notice. NCD will be November 8th!
A BB2 weighs 26 or 29lbs, depending on the grill.
How difficult is that to carry with one hand? If this weight really is a problem, get a trolley.

I had a 2x10 Markbass cab that was around 40lbs and it wasn't difficult to carry. The Barefaced stuff is ridiculously light compared to most other cabs. I have a RevSound 1x15 that I've been using as my Barefaced cabs were being built and it's light as well. Was going to sell it when I get my BF cabs, but might keep it. It's actually a really nice sounding cab that I could use in some situations where the BT3 might be overkill.
It's hard to maneuver, such as when on stage, when it's in the upright (playing) orientation with an amp on top. There's no handle on the left to grip hold of. So I try and awkwardly use one of the rubber feet
Has anyone heard recently about an upcoming amplifier from Barefaced? I saw a video by Alex some time ago, stating that a new amplifier might be in the works. Just wondering whether that project is ongoing.
I am not sure what you mean here. I have a BB3 with an Aguilar TH500 and its easy to move it. Are you needing to move it while you are playing? I get it setup before we ever start playing, or move it a bit during a sound check. Do you have a 100lb amp?
Haven't heard, but judging from the excellence of their cabs, that might be a reason to obtain a Barefaced amp. Alex has done such a superlative job with all their cabs (from what I can tell from comments) than an amp would be worth considering. And here I thought I was done buying equipment…
I think it is still in progress, don't know when it will be ready though.
I saw this on their Facebook page in September…
The first one "nearing completion" could be a guitar amp, who knows?
Alex is a bassist, and bass cabs is the DNA of Barefaced audio, but it could be easier to start with a guitar amp
Also, I saw this on their latest Youtube video: what do you think it is? There's no logo on that amp, but it has the exact same finish as the Barefaced cab, so maybe it's a Barefaced amp? I guess that cab is a "Uprising Vertical 212", so the amp could be a Barefaced guitar amp?
Yup. A week or two after I got my One10 I received the paperwork for the import duties from FedEx. This was a few years ago and I think BF has changed shippers to DHL. Don't know if that makes a difference.
I've ordered three separate times, never received any additional charges.
Ordered in June & November 2019 and October 2021
I spotted that as well, but I'm pretty sure it's the same amp that was shown at the start of Alex's video about the volume knob. Looks to be an Egnater Tweaker that's been re-tolexed in Barefaced green
I did not on either of my cabs, which were ordered about a year apart.
When I received my BB3s, I recall getting paperwork from FedEx stating there were import taxes paid, but these were minimal, and they were just included in the overall price that Barefaced charged me.
I can officially say the 310 combo was just awesome last night. First time doing it for a gig and I may do it this way regardless the size of a venue. I could hear everything for my own monitoring purposes and was told the bass was alive in every part of the room. Just may have to finally break down and get another two10s and sell off my other cabs.
