The "chimney effect" was described by @DukeLeJeune as early as in Dec 2010
best size cab
as an additionally beneficial tweak (placing the ports one above, one below) to the idea of distributing the ports symmetrically in order to prevent cone-rocking. He attributed the suggestion and both considerations to Eminence engineer Jerry McNutt.

I just read the last 100+ pages and haven't been able to find any real detailed information on the Super Twin T. I know its a different horn from the BB3 and BT3, but how is the tweeter integrated with the 12s and how does this affect overall tonality? With the different horn and no crossover is the ST a capable full range cab? Doesn't seem there's any in the wild.
The size and weight of the ST is absolutely ideal, and I can't afford two BB's. Plus I want more top end extension than the regular 'Twin offers. Just curious...

I don't think I could handle more top end than the super twin offers. It's an incredibly capable cab. No direct experience with the tweeter version unfortunately. Hopefully someone can help out. Or you could email them. Their service is top notch.
Alex can certainly chime in and clarify, but it's my understanding that the Super Twin T and Compact T both use the same tweeter and high pass filter as the Super Mini/Midget. The 12" drivers run full range with their frequency response rolling off past 4kHz which covers about 90% of the bass guitar signal. The tweeter extends this range and makes the voicing a touch brighter for those who want to hear that last 10%. There is an audible difference which some prefer and others don't. Either way, these are definitely capable full range cabs. Those who own the Super Mini/Midget can speak to this. The Super/Compact models fall between the Mini and Big models in cabinet volume and low end extension. The Barefaced Audio website has a good description of the differences.
Which bass cab?
There are a few Super Twin T and Compact T cabs in the wild but unfortunately I haven't seen any user comments or reviews about them.

My One10 and One10T are in production, the website says. It's by month. I ordered August 12 and June, July, and August
are being worked on.
I'm thinking about getting the baffles painted Cyan Blue. It's in the turquioise family, which means clarity and calmness.
I emailed Barefaced. The One10's grill covers a lot of the top of the cabinet, so I wouldn't see a lot of the lovely blue color.
I asked if it's possible to put a One10T grill on the One10 to see more of the color. Any of you guys had this done, as in having
the baffles painted or swapped grills?
The excitement is building, like my cabs!

I had my BB3 baffle painted Laos green. I love it! And I'm thinking of getting my next BB3 painted cyan as well. Yes, the metal grill obscures the paint somewhat, but not enough keep me from doing it again.
If you look at the One10, you can see the grill covers a good portion of the top of the baffle, whereas the One10T does not due to
the tweeter. Yours is more in the One10T ballpark. Much more open. One10

That picture of that cab has the old logo. The 10T link has photos of cabs with the new logo. I suspect the updated version of the One10 will have the more open grill, but that's something you should ask Alex about.
Yes, the One10 looks like the One10T… without the tweeter
bassslinger ham,

Fishing lure stickers. When I first tried DR Neon strings, I found that the reflected light overwhelmed my eyes and I couldn't see my fret markers -- and any time I thought I saw them, I was invariably a fret off. So obviously I had to do something. At that point in my life, my favorite music store happened to be located next to a fisherman's supply shop. A wander through there led me to discover reflective stickers. I eventually found the ones I currently use on ebay.
Fishing lure stickers are wonderful. They're designed to reflect light in very low light situations, and the adhesive is designed to stick in very inhospitable conditions. One of the stickers on this bass (Warmoth 3-pickup jazz, my previous #1) began coming off after about 7-8 years, so I decided to put new stickers on.
(On my Maruszczyk, I got Luminlay dots. While cool, they don't do the job of lighting up in bad light nearly as well as the stickers, so I put stickers on that one too -- after punching holes in the stickers so the Luminlay dots would be visible.)
Thank you!Sweet! Love my Barefaced/Mesa rig, they're a great pair.
Love your Frog, too! That finish is fantastic.
That's good news. I still think the new badge/logo is too large for the cabinet.
