Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

You need to order from Barefaced directly. All cabinets are build to order. It's better this way because Alex is wonderfully knowledgeable and will ensure you end up with what you need.
No. I live in the USA and I was not charged any customs tax or duties last summer. You can see the shipping charges on the Barefaced website. The USA is the same as the UK (£1,149.00 for a BB3). Europe is a bit less (£1,029.00), Oceania a bit more (£1,309.00), and the rest of the world more still (£1,499.00).
They're not available (new) any other way, so it's a bit of a moot point - if you want a barefaced cab, that's how to get one.
If I recall correctly, I paid for the cabs up front (shipping included, don't recall seeing any add'l import fees).
I recently acquired a bass from a non-North American source, the import bill came a week after and was about 3% of the purchase price.
Get them. The first time you run them you'll see why no one is flinching on the cost.

still have to plug them in though.
Out of curiosity, what are those knobs you have on your WD? I like them.View attachment 5103551 View attachment 5103554 View attachment 5103556 Officially IN!

Shipping charges are upfront and I paid no customs.
I am the proud soon-to-be owner of a BB3.
Hey everybody, Blue Talon thinks he's gonna stop at just one BB3 cab!
BT, all kidding aside, you will be blown away by what they deliver and back on the Order site in minutes.
Because we can never have enough basses, cabs and/or stomps and effects.
Oh, the plan all along has more or less been to get two BB3s. (Or a Big Twin 3, but that decision was made when I placed the first order for a BB3.) I figure I owe it to myself to give the first BB3 an honest tryout before ordering a second one.
I've been running 2xBB3's and, ok, I'll say it, I giggle a little every time.
The "the is an effing rig" moment is when my jacket actually moves because of the port air pressure. Not kidding

Odds are you'll place the order on break after the first set you play through it.
I don't often need the volume I get from both of my BB2's, but I really like the tone I get from both. One is pretty amazing and does the job quite well for most of my gigs. But the fullness you get from a pair is just sooooooo … sooooo …
As Alex says, the BT3 sounds like the BB3, but more. I currently play through a Phil Jones C8 cab, and I've only ever had one experience where my rig wasn't enough for the job, and that was probably in large part due to my choice of amps... so I'm quite confident that one BB3 will handle my volume needs. But I've always wanted a matching set of cabs, and I want Alex's "more".I don't often need the volume I get from both of my BB2's, but I really like the tone I get from both.
