Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

[RomanS]

Those of you use a TH what settings are you using?
I play a jazz bass with Fralins and TI flats.

Drive at least at 3 o'clock, sometimes cranked.
Gain so the tone has a tiny bit of hair, but not super dirty - depending on the bass, somewhere around 9 o'clock.
Bass between 12 and 2 o'clock, treble around 10-11 o'clock.
I usually sweep the mid frequencies with the level raised a lot, to see where it sounds either harsh or boomy, and then pull back the offending frequency - usually I end up with the mid pot between 12 and 3 o'clock, and the mid level at 10 o'clock.

Basses: Guild Starfire I with Bisonic pickup; 32" scale 54-style P with a Thunderbird pickup, 80s MIJ Precision, Höfner Club - all strung whith flats (TI JF or LaBella DTB).
Tone I'm going for: Classic 60s/early 70s rock & country.

I play a Lull PJ5 with TI flats and a Sadowsky RV5 jazz with very, very old NYXL's. I don't use pedals. My amp is either a TH500 or an AG700 through a Super Compact and Super Midget or a One10T and One 10. My amp settings are usually Drive off, Gain and EQ at 12 o'clock and Master anywhere between 9 and 2 o'clock.

For what purposes do you use the two One10(T) cabs?

I haven't gigged these One10's yet, but I have a bad hip which is causing me problems, even lifting the Super Compacts is becoming an issue, so the idea is to use smaller cabs which are easier to lift. I already had 2 x One10's, so now have 4, and I can run several of my amps at 2.7ohms, so I'm hoping a 210, a 310 or even daisy chained amps and all 4 cabs will be a solution until I can get my hip fixed. I play in several bands including loud guitar led rock blues, blues bands, top 40 cover bands to a Reggae band and sub quite a lot as well, so I'm hoping I can mix and match and the Barefaced cabs will keep me going in my current situation.

I am sorry to hear about your bad hip.

I own One10 and Two10 myself. For my purposes, these two cabs are sufficient. I use the Two10 for gigs with drums and PA...and both cabs for gigs with drums and without a PA... I imagine that 3 One10 cabs would suffice for all my gigs...

Hi all, just thought I might put this out there - I'm looking to buy a used Two10S (or Two10ST), with a steel grill.
Old or new logo OK. Peeling tolex on the back OK too!

If anyone has one they were considering selling and wouldn't mind shipping (or even local pickup around SF Bay Area, CA), I'd be very happy to discuss!

I didn't want to clog up this thread with a wanted post, but it's for a "good cause" - I'd like to make a YT video demonstrating a variety of different bass cab combinations/configurations for both the 10CRs and 12XNs, played back-to-back in quick succession. The point would be to demonstrate how the tone is affected at "ear" level. I was already fortunate enough to get my hands on quite a few BF cabs, but just need one more Two10.

Should be useful info for all cabs, but side benefit for BF fans: Will be interesting to hear if 2 One10s really do sound the same as a Two10, 2 BB3s sound like a BT3, etc.

(Does that sound at all interesting? Open to feedback!)

Just thought I'd check. If not, no worries, I'll keep on looking!

Many thanks

Anyone using a Trickfish 500M amp with a one ten cab?

 

[midichlorine]

If any of you guys need or want a 110w 12 ohm ( three10 add on)
Although I do run it solo and it's great!
I may be listing it soon but figured I'd check here first.
Mods, if this isn't cool please let me know and I'll do a proper classified ad in a bit

 

[Flysupermoo]

My four10 came yesterday, just in time for my next gig on the 1st!
Can get enough treble without a tweeter it seems too!

 

[blastoff]

ive gotten my shipping notification btw. still sitting in a warehouse by Heathrow. filled out the paperwork, and there will be a 10% ______ charge. made the order oct 22 so just about a three month turnaround, shipping time notwithstanding. soon my super mini stack will be complete!! i apologize for all the GAS it will create haha

That's great to hear. I'm still waiting on mine and I put the order through on the 6th of October. Haven't asked for anything custom. I chose to get a Cyan baffle and a cabinet cover bag so I'm not sure if that would add any time to the order. I am located in Australia so also not sure if that has something to do with it. Might have to email and chase them up on it.

Edit: Just saw @blastoff that you ordered a Super Mini. I ordered a Big Twin which understandably could take a bit longer to build and assemble.

 

[blastoff]

watch out world... the MINI STACK is complete!

2nd mini arrived today, safe and sound. im really pretty excited about this. im relatively confident that this is all ill ever need! haha. but really. i love them. can't wait to make them loud.

It occurs to me this would make a great lil g*tar speaker.

Officially ordered my first Barefaced Cab. Ended up deciding on the 310 as I have always preferred 10s.
Always been an SVT and 810 guy in the past but decided to size down as I get older (mid 30s lol)
Not looking forward to that duty charge when it gets to Canada though

 

[midichlorine]

Spectacular cab!!
Can't give it enough praise

Fedex finally got back to me wanting payment for tariff costs, delivery was nearly 2 months ago.

 

[blastoff]

huh that's silly. the got me within a couple days just last week.

Did you fill out & sign all the paperwork and get it back to Barefaced before it was shipped? If so then that is really strange. My cabs both came in less than 3 days/.

Yes I did. It was an expected cost, no big deal, just thought the delay was odd too.

I had 2 Supertwins and loved them but I am so glad I sold them and got my Big Twin 3. It will do more deep lows and the highs are pretty sweet. Its so simple to transport and fits in my Corollas' trunk.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the super twin because i was worried the big twin 3 would cause issues in a live band mix with the kick drum. I play in a jam band with a passive 5 string Jazz and was tempted to hear that low B in its full glory. What's your experience with that?
