Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

What do you think? Just one barefaced One10T cab is more than enough to handle a rock n roll drummer and 2 guitars distortion of partners in reharsals or need a pair of them to be listened?

One10T definitely not enough unless everyone plays with restraint and consideration for your volume.

Pair of One10 could be enough depending on the venue and what amps the guitarists are using. If you are outdoors and the guitarists have 412 cabinets then you will need more. If you are rehearsing at moderate volumes in a room with 112 combo amps, you should be okay.
 
It’s Alive!

My ST arrived a couple of days ago (just about 8 weeks from order date, with custom green baffle) and so far it’s lived up to all of Alex’s claims. It’s an incredibly responsive cab, both to playing and tonal adjustments. Most importantly for me, it stays coherent as you go louder and louder. I couldn’t max out my amp for all the rattling it was causing in my house but will test it out on a gig in about a week or so. Build quality is top notch, though the finish seems to want a few more days to off-gas. Not an issue in my book.

Shout out to Barefaced customer service too.

It is so refreshing to play through a cab that delivers a truly huge low end without compromising on clarity and mid range presence. And it has exactly the highs that I love.

Best rig I’ve ever owned in 40 years of playing. Big up Alex and Barefaced Crew

Wow that’s a stunner! That’s exactly what I’d get if I didn’t have a ST. Guess I need a different BF cab to customize
 
Mini gig report…this was our first show of the year. We were well rehearsed for the tunes but the technical details of managing our own sound are the things that get easier with repetition. Had a couple misfires there, but nothing really disruptive to the evening. It’s always good to be reminded how great these cabs are out in the wild. Our best stretch of tunes had the whole crowd dancing for 15-20 minutes. And we got connected with another venue for a local gig.

Great looking cab! The ability to customize the front baffle is a really nice touch, which I appreciate a lot in mine.
 
PSA - When is small too small?

When the foot of your Two10ST gets pushed up into the cabinet during shipping. Barefaced - please update your design with wider diameter, possibly softer feet, to absorb wear and impact. @alexclaber

The foot of my old Walkabout for comparison.

I'm considering getting some wider feet or a set of black washers to mitigate the damage.

This is not a cab or feet issue, this is shipping damage. If this a new purchase from us, please contact us immediately by email so we can raise an insurance claim with DHL. We will need photos of the damage to the cab, photos of the inside and outside of the box showing all the protective packaging (blue foam and cardboard), and particularly the outside of the box where this impact happened.

We have shipped thousands of cabs with those feet and this plywood over the last decade and have had at most a handful suffer this kind of damage - it's impossible to make everything 100% resistant to shipping damage but we're very good at sorting out the few problems that happen.

I can't imagine the force it must have taken to do that. The packaging from Barefaced is so robust they must have drove a truck over it.
