14/02/25 - Super Midget/Big24 - USA
Longstanding Barefaced customer over here--I have a super midget cab that I love. I'm really interested in the Big 24 for my larger rig, which involves an all tube Traynor YBA300 head. I've been using a Mesa 4x10" for the last number of years, which I just sold last year after moving across the US. The cab sounded good in general, but was too heavy and large given the output--mostly the depth of the cabinet that drove me crazy, meaning getting it in and out of the car and up and down small staircases in Boston was a pain in the ass.
On the aesthetic side of things, I prefer the cloth grills. For the Big 24, I see there's a silver cloth option, black cloth, and then also a custom salt & pepper cloth. I just wanted to check in to see if there are any other custom grill cloth options available. Is the black similar to what is shown on the Big Baby 3 here? https://barefacedaudio.com/
Probably a long shot, but I love me a black sparkle grill cloth similar to what Ampeg does here: https://ampeg.com/products/

Hi Alex,
Cool plan! Sounds like the Big 24 should fit tonally.
Regarding custom cloth (and tolex), it comes down to what we can get. Allparts are our usual supplier for the custom stuff:

If it's out of stock they'll usually order it in for us. We use the same silver cloth and the same black cloth on all of our bass and guitar cabs, so there's lots of photos of it on other models.
Best regards,
Alex
