10/01/25 - Big Baby 3 - USA
Hi Alex - since our last communication I've used the BB3 in the studio and also used it in rehearsal with one of my four(!) gigging bands and... YES!!! All is good.
The cab sounds amazing. It will be making its gig debut on January 19 and I can't wait! Thank you again for your patience and for holding my hand through the entire process. Means alot to be able to communicate directly with you and your team.
So... now that I've had a chance to use the BB3 at stage volume with a band, I'm thinking I might just want another! I play in loud rock bands (with very loud drummers) so I can definitely envision stacking another BB3 for certain gigs. So while I wait on moving a couple of pieces of other gear to free up funds for another BB3, I thought I would ask your opinion about whether or not it would make any sense to try and pair the BB3 with any of my existing cabs in the event I want to move even more air. Probably I won't need to pair it with anything else before I obtain a second BB3 but I'm also just curious about possibilities. So here's what I have:
(1) Orange OBC115 (1x15, 8 ohms)
(1) TC Electronic K210 (2x10, 8 ohms)
(2) Fender Bassman 115 Neo (1x15, 8 ohms)
(2) EBS Classic Line 410 (4x10, 4 ohms)
(1) Barefaced BB3 (1x12, 8 ohms)
The BB3 is my first 12 inch speaker cab (and I don't know enough about pairing cabs generally) so not sure if it would ever make sense to pair the BB3 with any of my other cabs. What say you?
Best,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Glad it's ok - that was a stress!
You could try it with the Bassman 115 Neo cabs. None will be a great match, they'll all make things blurrier but they will get you more output. Just be careful not to push the Fender cab too hard, same with the OBC115. EBS410 will handle the power better but will lose more of the BB3's tone.
I'd definitely want two BB3 with a LOUD drummer, gives you much more room to be dynamic in the band.
Best regards,
Alex
