Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

I understand that with the cab on a PA stand, there will be less lows (due to boundary reinforcement missing).

The reason I asked was to find out whether One10 projects sufficient lows to carry small room without the "help" of boundary reinforcement...

When I had my Barefaced midget T there was a significant loss of low end when I put it on a chair to lift it up, about 18" to 24"

Yes, I do. I am considering ordering another One10 with pole mount...

So my understanding of the point you made is that there is no significant difference between having the One10 cab on the floor vs. on the speaker stand...-in relation to how much low frequencies the cab projects.... correct?

I'm basically saying two things.
  1. A single One10 has limitations and you might find that the amount of bass it can push into the house starts to drop off before you get much benefit from having it on the floor.
  2. It doesn't make any difference to me because to get the sound I want with the cab on the floor I'd be filtering out lows with a HPF anyway.
It's impossible to know from the stage what you sound like out front.
Using a looper during setup to hear what you sound like out front can be super helpful.

Can anyone recommend a BF cab for stage monitoring? I am looking at the smallest 1X10 & smallest 1x12. I don't mind a colored sound as long as it's Bluesy/Classic rockish. Thanks

Yeah, One10 (for a 10") and Super Mini (for a 12")!

The Bf 10's have a bit more flavor than the 12's, but both are pretty true to the signal you put into them (esp. the 12's).

If I were you, I would order the cab (of your choice) with the "TopHat" customisation for monitoring purposes...

barefacedaudio.com

TopHat

Add a top-hat (PA speaker 35mm diameter pole-mount*) to your cabinet. Allows the cabinet to be raised off the floor and placed on a stand. Only available on One10, Super Mini (T), Super Compact (T) and Big Baby 3. *SPEAKER STAND NOT INCLUDED

And then this happened!!
IMG_0950.jpeg

I wasn't missing anything ( at all) from the three10 but I just couldn't resist!!

Room was so loud and boomy I actually unplugged the three10 and did the gig with that one10w.
It's a 12ohm cab so I guess to match the three10 drivers and all see equal power but at any rate the sisma had no problem moving it alone.

Sounded fantastic!!

A Super Twin came up for sale locally in Toronto. Defying all odds. These rarely come up used here.

Local✅
Matching grill cloth✅
Ridiculously cheap✅

What baffled me was that it was listed for two weeks before I snatched it up. Like it was waiting for me.

This works 👍
(I know you're joking, but if you ever change your mind in a moment of Bareface-induced ecstasy, do note that "no regrets" is not a phrase that should be translated into Latin: its colloquial character, which is so central to its English meaning, is lost in this gerundive construction in Latin.)
