Yowza! So, do I try rationalizing a second One10...

IME 2 one10s are 4X more fun than a single one10. I'm here to help

BF may not be for everyone, but it was for me this summer. I gigged this set up: SuperTwin Cover, MarkBass TTE 800, & Modulus Flea with J/MM barts- all original. The best I ever had, and never worried about volume, clarity, dispersion, or anything in terms of tone and sound.

With band and life changes, I am thinking smaller gigs are in my future, and likely more upright gigs. Any advice or thoughts apprecated. I am thinking I would start with a Super Midget for small gigs, and then when funds are better get the the super compact medium size R&B and rock gigs.

I wondered if the SM and the SC would get me close to the Big Twin sound and volume in case I move on from the this wonderful beast. While not listed, I am downsizing and paying for some big home upgrades and if you are around Denver and want to make more than fair to outrageous offer on any of it shoot me a PM.

But boy was it a great summer of tone.

I haven't played through an ST or BT but I used to have 2 SC's and now use either an SC/SM or BB2/SM.

I prefer the modular aspect of 2 112's. I use the SC for quieter gigs (personally I prefer it as a stand alone cab) and the SC/SM for quiet to loud gigs. The BB2/SM comes out for very loud gigs, but that's really just a vanity rig, the SC/SM can cover everything.

If I was building a rig again, I'd start with the SC.

If I had to guess, I'd say this is a very good sign. Clearing out old inventory is usually one of the first items on the list when planning to expand your production footprint.

It looks like the website got a few updates. The tweeter option (or not) is now available on the drop down menu for the super compact, super mini, and super twin.

SUPER TWIN

Would that make it the same as a Big Twin? Or does the BT have a better 'horn' rather than a 'tweeter'?

Unsure - my speculation is that the horn and 12xn driver are more accurate in sound reproduction than a tweeter and a 12xn driver. Dispersion may be better with the horn too.

 

[gstaats]

Most full range pa cabs use horns - prolly a reason for that.

oh this is naughty. And I like it a lot!

The BT has a better (more accurate and powerful) high frequency section and a larger enclosure with a more extended low frequency response. The two cabs are voiced differently with the smaller ST more like a traditional bass cab on steroids while the BT is a bit larger and more like a PA cab. It's nice to have choices. Alex provides detailed descriptions and comparisons of the different cabs here:
Which bass cab?

You might consider a BB3. It will get you pretty much the same tone as your BT, it's light weight, fairly small, and sounds great at low and higher volumes. That's what I use for jazz and jam band situations.

Or two bb3's. Always can stack them for more oomph.

That's actually what I do with my two BB2s, modular for efficiency of size, weight, and power. I usually just use one, but have a second for when needed.

 

[dave64o]

I often set up both of my BB2's and leave one disconnected and ready to be plugged in if I find we need the extra "oomph" and/or volume. But a lot of times I never connect the second one. I tend to set up and connect both of them only when I know we're going to need the volume, such as playing outdoors or in a bigger place that doesn't have a house system.

It's amazing what a single BB2 can do!

 

[JohnnyBottom]

Wow that's a rare sight.

COming soon?

 

[dave64o]

Wow....

That looks beautiful......

Why is shipping to the UK more expensive than shipping to Europe? I thought they are built in the UK?
