Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club
- Thread starter Stumbo
- Start date
Production times were just updated! Looks like the 12XN cabs lead time was reduced a little bit. They’re working on September orders and my BB3 and SMT orders were placed in the beginning of October. The anticipation is excruciating!
My 2nd Super Compact is arriving much sooner than expected! Hopefully will receive it on Monday. Very excited to power up the stack...
HI Everyone,
I posted this in the cab classifieds, but wanted to share here. I have a BB2 I love, but a Super Twin on the way. I don't need both, but have always wanted to check out a 210. So, I would like to trade my BB2 for a 210. Anyone?
My BB2 is in near-mint condition having never left my house once delivered. Prefer someone in the west.

I'm pretty sure Barefaced sells them.
Let us know. I have a super compact and I've been wondering what it be like to put another one on top.
So far, so good. Stacked in portrait orientation, it's the same sound, with perhaps a bit more in the mids. The biggest difference is in feel... even at the same or quieter levels as my usual practice, I can really feel the punch of my notes more. I will have to get used to how to set the tweeter on mine. I got two Tweeter models, for convenience, but Alex's recommendation is to only use one in a stack. My "normal" tweeter setting, strangely, feels almost a bit too much with the 2nd cab. I don't know if it's due to any break-in necessary on the first cab, or what.
I felt the same thing with my Super Twin. It comes from the coupling effect of two drivers in one cabinet. Exactly the reason I got the ST. Excellent one-cab solution for most gigs, excellent tone and feel (at very low volume) for satisfying practice in the home studio.
I do find when I run both my bb3's, even just by running only the top cab, that elevation makes a huge difference. They are so easy to schlep around that running two cabs and turning down is usually preferable to running one cab
The effect of expanding presence without increasing volume is an added benefit of using multiple cabs/speakers as well, at least that’s what I perceive when I use multiple cabs.

I’ve only seen a couple of BB3 listings in the used pages. Oct 2022 and May 2023.
Yeah. I mean, I have lots of bass boxes to ship basses in, but the BB2, the way I like to pack is box within another bigger box, so I would have to buy the boxes that BB2 would fit best in. The shipping actually isn't as bad as I thought. I have potential trade for a BF 210, and I researched the shipping and the quote is about $125 from the west coast to the east coast.
You may want to check out Pirate Ship as another option, they discount UPS and USPS prices significantly.
I was also able to buy thick wall box and packing materials from UHaul that worked out great to ship a ST.
