Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

Makes sense. We didn't change the name when they added a pedal to the lineup. Who knows what future devices could be added, and it would be a pain to change the group name for each product.
Any discussion on the BF cab project on social Media?
That internal bracing is impressive. No rattles or buzzes on that one.
I certainly don't have calibrated eyeballs, but those holes look like they may be for 8 inch drivers.
Just my wild guess!
Big Twin 4? Bracing and the shape of the top hole of the baffle look similar to the Big Twin 3 construction video here:
If this means it'd be possible to order a 12xn cab with tolex & ports hidden behind grill cloth I'd be very excited.
or just Official Barefaced Bass Club?
anyhow, sudden onset GAS struck again for me and i found a small Orange on my doorstep.
i really dig the simplicity and it sounds great through the SM. open and airy with a nice fat bass presence. the EQ is plenty effective.
there were a few minor QC issues (wonky hard plastic feet that didn't sit level and their hardware was just sort of gooped in place). i swapped them for some stick-on rubber feet for now, but in removing them, i took a gander under the hood and the wiring all looks very robust and well laid out, thru-hole pcb, nice fat aluminum ground bus and such. seems well designed and spec'd in light of being "mass produced" in china.
The control layout is rather backwards for my sensibilities but i suppose its all part of growing up and being British.
I haven't played it out with the bands yet but im looking forward to it.

Loved that look! I was considering that head for a while and eventually settle for the GK Legacy 500, which is actually a little bit more portable, don't know in term of quality, they're probably in the same ballpark of pushing enough watt to me heard with a SM.
Lookwise the Orange is definetly the winner though
Three One10's? What made you opt for that over a One10t and Two10, or 2x Two10's?
Genuinely curious as I have a single One10t and have thought about adding another something10 while I have money available.
I bought one cab just to try it and bought another to have two cabs for gigs. The One Ten T with pole mount became available when I was looking for a used 2x10 so I bought it. I was going to sell one of the non tweeter cabinets but I really like the modularity as I can take as many cabinets as needed for the job.
Wanted to give a quick update as I've been able to take the Three10 to a couple band rehearsals.
First this cab sounds huge and takes EQ great! At last nights rehearsal I definitely found the limit as for the speakers to fart at higher volume pushing tons of low end. (My 100 watt Silvertone 1466 is flat all the way down to 40hz combined with a Hofner 500/1 = massive low end)
I play in an early Jamaican ska/reggae band so I shoot for a big warm round mid scooped tone.
Next rehearsal I'll try adding the One10W to see how the full rig sounds.

That's great! But are you sure it wasn't the Silvertone clipping on those low notes?
You might be right. It was hard to tell during rehearsal, but it's surely pumping out massive low end, and can go to an aggressive midrange rock tone with this setup which I love!
Thats not me! Thats Ron MacDonald!
Golden Gate Park Bandshell with the Jim Bruno Trio and Ron MacDonald!
I thought I recognized the GG Bandshell. Nice.
Turns out this was not too far off, it's like a BT3 in Six10 clothing. Pretty interesting!
