Recent gigs have had a back line amp for me but tonight I had to pack my own - luckily it was within walking distance! P bass on my back, grab the two ten, throw the head in the messenger bag with cables and walk on over.

What a strange animal. I wonder what's the story behind this custom order?
They probably intended to stack it with a Three10.
Any chance of a powered cab bigger than the One10? I would think an active Super Compact, especially if it could power another passive cab, too, would be a great solution for a lot of us.
I'm not sure about a Super Compact, but I'm pretty sure I heard Alex talking about other active bass cab in the plans - in a YouTube video, I don't remember which one. The One10 being the smallest BF cab, any other active bass cab should be bigger.
That's gotta sound good. Is that cab a Super Twin or Three 10?
Three10
I ran it with my bass in passive and everything on amp at noon ( except master)
Nothing upfront, just wanted to get it as close to the natural voice of the cab as possible and that thing really shines!!
It's an absolute stellar cab!
Weight, size and layout of it make it extremely manageable from a moving standpoint.
May dip my toes in the "compact" waters but for now it's this guy

I had the chance to let my Super Twin range in it's preferred environment; three piece rock band at an outdoor event at a large pub. The Quilter V803 "warm" and "qtube" voices shine at gig volume where the depth and detail comes through. Good response from the crowd, too.
Loving my Super Twin T but thinking it might be fun to have an identical looking Three 10 for a different vibe...Three10

Got the 310 out last Sunday for a proper band practice for the first time. The word "punchy" was the first description from the band. I'd agree. The 2x15 thing Alex mentions is right there. Plenty of highs with the TT800 treble switch. Beautiful warm note envelope. A tiny bit slower than the BB3 I think. At least that's how I'm feeling it with no compression or effects/modeling in the signal chain. There both amazing, but for roots music the 310 is it. So easy in and out of the car too. Love the skate wheels 
Hey Gang.
I own a Super Mini T, and I'm saving up for one more Barefaced cab to cover any potential need for additional volume when gigging.
Do you think I'd experience any downsides if I bought a Super Compact, and then put the existing Super Mini T on top of it, as pictured below?
Possible issues:
Why do this? Because the width of the Super Compact equals the height of the Super Mini. So it makes for a neater stack. (I'm assuming* I'll be able to reorient the Barefaced logo on the steel grille of the Super Mini so that it becomes horizontal, above the logo on the bottom cab.)
Why not just get another Super Mini? Because the Super Compact's frequency range goes down to 30Hz, lower than the Super Mini's 37Hz. I play 5-string basses (low B has a 32Hz fundamental) so I'm assuming* that the additional lower frequency of the Super Compact will give me a deeper sound than the Super Mini.
Why not just buy a Super Twin? Because mostly I'll only need one cab. Modularity and lugging the least weight possible are two of my goals.
* Please correct me if I'm wrong in any of the above assumptions.

Possible issues:
- The ports would be horizontal on the top cab and vertical on the bottom cab.
- The speakers are "off axis" from each other. I.e. Not directly above and below each other.

Ok, despite being "light", carrying my two ten several blocks to the gig was not exactly smart - took my back a while to recover! I also found it bordering on not being loud enough for that venue. I was using a 500w head so I guess like 300w with the 8ohm cabinet. I can get a little more by using my BB800 head instead, but I'm really considering another two ten or getting the three ten!
There is a 4 and 12 ohm two10 and also an 8ohm version like I have.
i dont think the emblem badges are *easily* re-orientable they're glued on. but i reckon if you ask, they might orient it the way you'd like.
if i were me, and i still am, i actually like the voicing of the mini more than the compact, so id, personally, go for two minis. and i still might. plus the ports would all line up and the badges and all of the things in ocd- land will be satisfied. for a while.
Heh!
Can you describe what it is about the voicing of the Mini you prefer over the Compact?
(The main problem I have with my overall rig is that it seems difficult to dial in the warm (not bright) traditional tone you hear on songs like Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". I speculate that the Compact's lower frequency response might make that warmth more achievable. But I dunno. Perhaps @alexclaber might stop by this thread and comment at some point.)
just my own personal preference.
i may be cast out as a heretic, but super deep lows haven't ever been my thing. ive always liked the growl from smaller amps pushed hard. sure HPLs and eq and whatnot can get you there, but i just personally like the intrinsic voice of the mini. im not a 5 stringer though either- unashamed p bass w flats guy.
but i would also really want my stack to line up, visually, as well...
