As I have posted before, sm and bb2 is a fantastic pairing. As a single cabinet I more often use the sm than the bb2, and power it with a Bergantino Forte hp which has more than enough power at 600 watts into 8 ohms to make the cab sing. Don't underestimate the capabilities of the sm when powered by sufficient watts.

Thanks a lot for this, yea seems Alex is saying that BB2 and SM is great for paring.
Now, I have BB2 hope that's good for paring too. I have BT2, but haven't used it for 9 months, because if there is a need for loud gig, then I'm with my Capo preamp and IEM.
So I would gladly trade BT2 for SM. I'm gonna send them an email just to see their point of view. But thanks again for the effort!
i don’t think there’s any difference, apart from a slight design tweak of the metal grill and the logo badge. the earlier ones had a minor problem with the glue on the tolex coming up in the back, so maybe they fixed that since, but its not a big deal at all. get the local one for instant gratification, or enjoy the satisfaction of having a brand new thing, but expect to wait a couple months.
I got my One10 and One10t about three weeks ago in five weeks, ahead of their estimate on their website, as an FYI.
I pair an SM and BB2 for the very loud gigs, an SM and SC for the regular gigs and use the SC as a 1 cab rig for smaller gigs.
I own Aguilar TH500, TH700 and AG700 amps. I will probably use the TH500 for small P bass gigs, but my preference is still the AG700 for everything else.
As signal chains go, Aguilar and Barefaced are the best combination and just work perfectly for me.

Using what cables, may I ask? Into what kind of device(s) on the other end of those cables?
I’ve never done it because most of my bands use powered PA speakers, but you’d need a PA power amplifier and your run the 1/4 speaker cables from that into the BB
You would treat them as any unpowered PA speaker, for example a powered mixer may have speakon or 1/4 speaker connections.
I just posted my mint, Super Twin in the classifieds if anyone’s looking

Did anyone noticed this?
15:20 is the cue.
In this video, Alex says in substance that the amp he's working on will be inspired from the Aguilar DB750
"we want that kind of heavy weight sound without the ultra heavy weight, so we're working on that"

I'm really curious to see what Barefaced comes up with. It's most likely going to be an amazing bass amp to pair with their amazing cabs!
A DB751 I want to carry outside of my studio? Take my money. It’ll feed my SuperTwin swimmingly.
My cabs are a Super Twin, a Two10S, and a One10. Currently fed either by a D800+ or a Traynor SB500H. Lightweight, volume and tone flexibility, and awesome tones. I'm actually perfectly happy, with zero GAS for bass amplification gear.
Despite that, I can hardly wait to see/hear what amp Barefaced comes up with!

I would love to have the matching amp to my cabs, but I would expect the prices to be a little too rich for me.
Several cab manufacturers have tried to make this jump, Baer, Vanderkley etc but only Bergantino seems to have made it work.
I guess the pedal was a toe in the water, but as a non pedal player I have no idea if that was a success or not. I hope Alex can pull it off.
