02/12/25 - Big 24 - USA

My Big 24 arrived safe and sound yesterday. And it sounds incredible. I’m blown away by how something small relative to a traditional 810 fridge can sound so huge and monstrous. So huge yet reactive to my playing. My current band is a metallic hardcore project that tunes to drop B flat. The Big 24 handles the low tuning so well. During our initial gear talk, I failed to mention how low I tuned, but I’m guessing by the way the Big 24 handles the big string, it’s the best cab in your lineup for lower tunings? I’ll be grabbing my standard-tuned bass today and can’t wait to hear how good it sounds again. Since I’m used to sealed Ampeg cabs, I was a little worried that it’d take getting used to hearing a more modern cab, wondering if I should have gone with your Six10 instead. But after yesterday, I think your 12 speakers can do anything a bass player would want. With an SVT, P bass, and a couple of dirt pedals, the Big 24 is the perfect canvas for creating tones that fit in with the brands of yesteryear. I’m confident it would sound great with modern tones, too, if that was my style. 

Thank you, Isaac, Alex, and the whole team at Barefaced. I’m 34 and have been playing bass since I was 12. Playing through your cab yesterday was one of my most memorable moments in 22 years of playing.
