05/08/25 - One10 + Two10 - USA
I have a Barefaced One10 I bought from you several years ago and it is just the best thing I've ever gotten!
For years I ran it with a Walter Woods amp, and when that failed I moved to an Acoustic Image and it just sounds wonderful (I play jazz double bass).
Ran into a few gigs lately where I needed a bit more volume than the One10 could produce - I saw a Barefaced Two10 for sale on TalkBass, and I bought it, thinking if I loved the One10, the Two10 would be similar just with more power handling (and air moving) capability. Cab arrived (mint) and I found that to my ear it is much more darkly colored than my One10. I switched back and forth with my Acoustic Image first plugged in the One10, then the Two10 and the latter is just much darker, muddy and undefined.
Is this just the nature of that cab - or perhaps it is just my particular sound? I could combat it somewhat with EQ, but it just doesn't compare to what I get from the One10. The Two10 sounds incredible with an electric bass, but just doesn't seem to work like the One10 does with my acoustic. Is this all my perception, or is there a difference between the One10 and Two10 for 'coloration'?
What cab might you recommend for the clearest, full-range, uncoloured reproduction of my acoustic sound?
I know that sound can be so subjective, but thought I would ask.
Thanks much!
