Hi Alex,

I already have one of your Four10 cabs (and it’s fantastic) but I’m thinking of making a change in my rig to using a Quad Cortex, largely due to wanting to downsize and simplify (current rig is two seperate stacks, one doing regular bass and the other doing octave up “guitar” stuff a la Royal Blood etc). I’d like to save space and my back!

07/07/24 - Super Twin + Super Mini - Germany

I bought a Super Twin from you last year and I'm really happy with it. Recently I had to double on electric and upright on some gigs and discovered that it also sounds great with double bass! I only would need a smaller version of it because carrying the super twin and a double bass is a bit too much for me.

For the gigs where I only play double bass I use a QSC CP12 active speaker but I couldn't get a good sound with it for the electric bass. - Would the Super Mini be a good option for me to amplify the upright alone or doubling? - The QSC has a tweeter. For the electric bass I don't need one, is it a good idea to have a tweeter for the double bass? I sometimes use a DPA mic only on double bass or only a realist pickup. I use gut strings and play loud acoustically. - I guess the Super Mini would be loud enough for gigs with jazz bands (even big bands)?

Kind regards,

Max

Hi Max,

Yes, the Super Mini T will be ideal for that, upright or doubling, tweeter for a more acoustic sound and yes it'll be loud enough! Glad you're enjoying the ST!

Best regards,

Alex

Thank you for making really good and honest sounding bass cabs!
I use my Big Baby 3 powered by EBS Classic 500 or EBS Fafner I (blue stripe)

Hi Alex and gang!

I ordered a BB3 last year and have been absolutely loving it since I got it - paired with a Mesa/boogie TT-800. Aside from playing bass, I also play pedal steel and have been experimenting with running my pedal steel through the BB3. I have a quilter tone lock 202 that I run into it, and I can get a pretty nice sound overall but I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth exploring any sort of IR or speaker sim pedals to make use of the FRFR nature of the BB3, get it sounding more like a *steel guitar* speaker of sorts. I’d like to be able to shape the overall tone in this way as opposed to trying to eq heavier on the preamp than I normally would. Wondering if you have any ideas for best practice, or for any IR gear that would pair particularly well with a BB3?

I’ve never really messed with IR/speaker sim stuff so coming at this from a place of knowing next to nothing. Even if you can’t really recommend running a pedal steel through the BB3 that’s helpful info as well. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jesse,

Glad you're loving it! The BB3 is super accurate so if you put any pedal steel speaker IR into it then it'll get that sound really well. I don't know about standalone IR gear, it's not something I use but everyone here is using Quad Cortex or Helixes. James here has built a pedal steel and he says there's a particular Peavey combo that's most popular for it and I'm sure Eminence make some pedal steel speakers, so maybe there are IRs for them?

Best regards,

Alex

It sounds awesome. Fuller than my Super Midget which I already thought was an awesome speaker.

I've been using 2 x BB2 cabs for gigs and 2 x One10s for rehearsals - very happy with both. There are however some changes ahead and wanted to ask your opinion if you have time... I have a new amp coming (not yours, although I've joined the queue too) and it has the option to go to 2ohm, it's a Jad Freer Coda 800w Power Amp. Since we have PA support with a subwoofer, and space is limited I have had to reduce to 1 x BB2. Mostly this is enough, but last week I did a gig in a small venue with the 2 One10s and it sounded pretty powerful and was a breeze for fitting in the car with all the other kit. I did feel I may have been driving then a tad hard with my GR Pure Amp 800w power amp, but then the Jad Freer preamp I'm using has a bit of grit, so.... So here is the crux of it. With the new amp, would I be able to drive three One10s at the 2ohm setting? ( I'd be ordering a One10 T)I see a number of people with this arrangement, but despite reading all your info I'm still baffled by the Ohm thing, well when it goes below 4 anyhow.

The three One10s would easily fit in the car with the sub giving me a bit more spread... or will it? One last thing, with your new ZeroK 7 what cab combinations would you be recommending - this may answer my question above too. Sorry for waffling, but in fairness I have had to watch your videos so you can't complain ha ha ha All the best Awesome cabs btw, never been happier.

Hi Tim,

I'd almost always make the decision based on tone - the 12XN and 10CR are quite different.

But if your amp is 2 ohm stable then you can run up to four One10 cabs, and each one you add will increase the max output and how big the rig sounds. With the Zero k7 it's the same, you can run up to four 10CR or four 12XN with all parallel wiring, or more with series/parallel (like in a Six10 or Eight10 or Four10+Two10S stack).

Glad you're loving the cabs!

Best regards,

I ended up picking up a lightly used BB3 and plan to order a Three10 when finances allow. The BB3 works very well with the Forte Hp and is certainly loud enough for my soul project. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much it puts out.

Hello! Glad to say my brand new Super Twin arrived today! Looks gorgeous and I can't wait to play it.

Probably a stupid question but ohmage always confuses me and i don't want to blow my head. To pair this with my Hillbish Beta 200 do I use both amplifier outs/cabinets ins?

Hi Marc,

I presume your amp has one power amp, so just connect one out on the amp to one in on the cab! Let us know how it sounds.

I’m contacting you for some help and advice regarding my Big Baby 3 bass cab which I bought second hand a couple of years ago. I’m not very technically minded so please bear with me! One of the drivers hasn’t been working properly and I think I have identified the offender as the Faital Pro 6PR 150 which although is still reading 5.7 on a multimeter seems to be distorting and making ‘scratching’ noises, the scratching is also evident when I gently press the cone in and out with my thumbs (a test I saw being undertaken on the internet). I am now considering replacing the speaker but I wonder whether you have any additional advice about this and also whether there are any ‘upgrades’ to consider when I replace.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Elfed,

That sounds like an overpowered driver, so it'll need replacing! Get the same again as the crossover is designed specifically for its frequency and impedance curves. The most likely cause is an amp heavily clipping due to insufficient power for the situation but it's very rare fault!

Best regards,

Alex

More fire power than I needed but sounded great! I’m absolutely loving this BB3 and BT3 and together they are a force to be reckoned with! That acoustic drum kit next to me with no glass wasn’t a struggle at all I had to turn my bass down to not shake the metal screws out of the tin roof in that little pavilion.

Thanks again Alex and the gang for making killer gear!

It’s amazing. Really liking the form factor, weight, & performance so far.

It is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to transport than the Mesa 2X15 I had before (now sold).

The only things that could possibly make it better for me would be:

Tolex option (as you’ve mentioned)

A bit wider, for tube amps/ rack cases (as you’ve mentioned)

Deep dish handles possible on this new version?

Modular options (new wider with tolex)

Barefaced bass amp to sit on top.

The current Super Twin is arguably perfect as is, though.

I feel the trade offs between the current & new option will serve different owners equally well.

Looking forward eagerly to all the details/official announcement!

P.S. I want to thank you & your team very much for all the questions you answered, and overall customer service received during my purchase. Isaac was also a delight to deal with. Even though I had many more questions for him, and changed my order more than once, he always made me feel like a most valued customer. Truly a gem.

It is this type of experience you & your team have provided, that has made me a customer for life.

Thank you.

Hi David,

Not sure on the dimensions and weight, other than it being 24" (610mm) wide. Ports will be hidden behind the cloth grill. There'll be space for dish/bar handles so it'll have them. Sound will be as close as possible to the Super Twin. I guess a wider Super Compact is possible, it would be about the size of a Two10 - will see if there's demand! Not sure what we'd call that though... (We've called this the Super 24 - it's a 2x12=24 and it's 24" wide).

Glad you're loving the Super Twin!

OMG THIS CABINET IS INCREDIBLE!!

I am blown away by the clarity and depth. Plus it looks great and is easy to move.

Great work Alex, take a bow!

UPDATE:

Just letting you know, 2 years in & 100 gigs and I love this cab more & more. Great work!
