Gig tonight! Folksy trio on bass and cello, One10T on stand.
Almost Famous Livermore if any are interested.

Have a great gig with a great cabinet! I live in Richmond near El Cerrito. My Allman Brothers tribute band, Idlewild
West, is playing at Baltic Kiss in Pt. Richmond this evening. Bay Area represent! One10T and One10.
Thanks. I'm blown away with the weight of this thing. It has a great old school tone
how well does the LB power this cab?
was very interested in getting one but was unsure if it would be able to keep up with the band.
That's why I bought it. I wanted something that I could use with my LB for indoor shows. I'm sure in rehearsal it will keep up with no problem but it's probably going to depend on your bass or basses. I have 2 jazz pickup driven basses one has quarter pounders in and on 1/2 vol it rips my other jazz is much more polite but has Brantley's in it. That being said I believe it's a gigable combo depending on the room.
The tweeter sounds good. Just opens up the top end a bit. It has an attenuator on the back, so you can quickly make a One10T a standard One10 by just turning off the tweeter.
Better to have and not need, than need and not have.
In my ongoing nerd quest for the "one trip from the car to rehearsal" solution, gonna try this Cajon case to hold the One10 + a markbass head.

It is a great fit. Been there, done that, until I realized just easier/lighter for me, to carry the one10 in a lecover and over shoulder amp. Sold it, I think to someone with a 1 10 bought it. lol...nah... local sale, wasnt worth shipping. Enjoy.

My mighty EIGHT10 is in Atlanta!!.....super stoked! However, DHL says they need my Social Security number!!
This is about my 4th shipment from Barefaced and the first time DHL needs my SS number.
Is there a way around this? Happened to anyone else??
I just found this:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
"If the goods are cleared informally, the Entry Summary CBP Form 7501, bond and identification number are not required. Goods are usually cleared informally when they are for personal use, under $2500 in value, and are not in commercial quantities. However, because there are no guarantees that an entry will be cleared informally, brokers find it helpful to have the ultimate importer's identification number just in case. A formal entry is usually required for commercial importations valued over $2,500."

This is very encouraging, because I'm strongly considering a One10T with a tiny amp, possibly a Warwick Gnome, to replace my Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout 12 combo for quieter gigs/jam sessions. Since I am now car-free, having a 17 lb cab that would fit in the basket on the back of my bicycle seems appealing.
Yes, I confirm. The One10 is loud enough for rehearsals and small gigs, even with moderate drums and guitar. The only time when I felt it was really lacking was when we made a gig outside - I had to cut the low and low mid frequencies and increase the high mids in order to be heard (so that day, my sound was sharper than I would have liked). But I never had any issue indoors.
I have a One10T and a One10 and these are incredible cabinets. They are crazy loud, low and of course, light.
I can play in any situation with two. I fit everything in the trunk of my car except my basses.

As a person who has spent years and dollars chasing that idea, I can tell you that it really can't be done. Alex is right, it's not really the scale length, though that does contribute some, it's literally everything about the construction of a bass violin, especially having a big hollow box resonator, plus the technique that playing upright demands.
I play a fretless StingRay with piezo pickups, Rotosound flats, and I play through an acoustic resonance enhancer pedal (either a Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp or a tc electronic BodyRez), a compressor, and a reverb pedal, sometimes with string mutes, into a Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout 12 combo (which is fairly popular with double bassists). It's a good sound, and it has some similarities to a double bass, but you will never mistake it for a double bass.
The best current option seems to be using a convolution engine with a double bass IR loaded, and the closer your instrument is in construction to a double bass, the closer you will get. But, it will never be a perfect imitation. There is an Italian luthier making bass guitars with resonance chambers that sounds pretty good.
I believe this is a Yamaha Silent Bass:

Looks like my ETA is tomorrow for my latest Barefaced marvel.
I had to show proof of my SS number and proof of my address…..and pay the seemingly standard $48.67 to DHL for an import fee.
Not sure if this is something new or just because it was over $2500.
Never the less, my cab should be picked up by my friend from the DHL depot Tuesday as I am out of town till next weekend.
Can't wait to set the Reeves Custom 225 on the mighty Eight10!
