Hello Barefaced!

I have a Super Compact Cab (600w/8ohm - SNo: C099) that I bought used in Toronto Canada a few months ago. I absolutely LOVE this cab - the size and weight are wonderful and the sound is superb. I use it with a variety of smaller heads including a Mesa Subway D800 and a Trace Elf mini-head. I sometimes pair it the a MarkBass 15 cab driven by the D800 and it gives me lots of clean volume for bigger gigs.

If I was to buy another Barefaced Cab to pair with my 8 ohm Super Compact, wondering what you would recommend? I have been looking for another Super Compact but they don't seem to come on the market much and certainly not in Canada.

Please let me know your thoughts... LOVE your products and looking to expand!

Thanks

David

Hi David,

Glad the Super Compact is performing well. If you love what it does then get another Super Compact, if you'd like something very similar but even smaller get a Super Mini. We send cabs to Canada all the time, so there's no problem getting one to you!

Best regards,

Alex

My new Super Compact was delivered on Monday, and got the chance to try it for the first time at rehearsal tonight.

I was blown away by the sound. Such a difference from my old practice 210, and every bit as good (actually better) a sound as my 810 in that tiny little package. An absolute blinder.

I am very happy with my recent purchase of a Super Compact T. The high level of performance of this cab is amazing.

Living in California, USA, more of fellow per service bassist should be using your products.

I plan to purchase a One10T to stack for larger venues.

I’ll need to save $$ now for the +10%. Soon I Hope!

Best regards

I recently got the Dark Glass Anagram and was fooling around with it's IRs and...

Well, I always laugh at your marketing the "Honest" sound, because I don't want honest, I want good color.

Long story short, I can make my Super Compact speakers and make them sound "exactly" like any cabinet config on the fly.

No other cabinet can do that.

I love 4x10s and now its like having 2x mini 4x10s that I can fit into my 2 seater roadster and take go a gig!

When I first got my BareFaced speakers I loved them, but decided to keep one of my old Eden 4x10s... now I can sell them!

Thank you for your game changing products!

The speakers sound great, I've had the Super Twin for about 9 years and just added the Super Compact, not for extra volume but to get something closer to my ears whilst still having a cab on the floor.

I’ve been meaning to drop you a line for some time and never got around to it. I bought a Super Compact cabinet from you last year. My goal was to downsize from two rigs to one without compromising the quality of my sound. I can only tell you that my goal has been fully realized. I have used the cabinet in all sorts of situations. Large rooms, small rooms, inside and outside venues, with and without PA support. In all instances, I was able to get a full and deep sound, and I have been very satisfied with the output and quality of the sound in all situations. Also, because of the lightweight nature of the cabinet, it is much easier to move around than my old equipment. I have to say that your product has completely lived up to your promotional claims and the reviews I read before purchase. I thought I might have to purchase a second cabinet, but I think the single 12 in the Super Compact is enough to handle all of my musical needs.

Thank you.

I recently picked up the super compact at a really good price, it saved me a lot of money over a new super third and my god, this rig sounds fantastic.

I have a Super Compact which I love and I am in the market for a new amp. I've been tempted to buy the Trickfish Bullhead .5 for quite some time, but it runs at 700 watt through 4 ohm, which is 100 watt more than the Super Compact is built for. Do you guys think my Super Compact could handle that amp or will I fry the cab if I try to pair those two?

Olle

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Olle,

700W into 8 ohms would be fine unless you were really pushing things very hard and ignoring bad noises. However it's only 365W into 8 ohms so there's nowhere near too much power. What amp are you using now?

Best regards,

1 gig down and I LOVE IT! Everything I was hoping for! - 16th December 2024

I’m loving the cab even more! I have a quick sound geek question. What is your opinion on tilting back a cabinet? I’m playing some gigs at a particularly problematic sounding stage and in the past I tilted my cab back and it helped.

Thanks again!

Greg

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Greg,

Great to hear! If tilting the cab works, then by all means do it - you'll change the polar pattern which has pros and cons but you'll also change the mechanical connection with the stack, which is probably what's helped you if the lows were too boomy. The Super Compact has wider dispersion than most bass cabs which makes it less problematic on stages with bad acoustics, so if it was more of a midrange mud than than bass boom situation you may not need to tilt it at all. But trust your ears (with a degree of scepticism)!

Best regards,

Alex

I absolutely love my SC, and have gigged it with great success. So much so that I sold off my other cabs. My SC will never be for sale.

I found a used, well cared for One10 and love that also. I have ordered a One10 this morning to pair with that, and plan to run them in parallel.

The plan: The 2x One10 stack will be paired with a Mesa D-800, playing a Ric 4003 with TI flats. The amp is set flat, with the “voicing” rolled off; I have discovered that setting most closely matches the SC using a Mesa D-800+ (also set flat). The guitar is always on vintage mode, and the Effectrode (model PC-2A) compressor is always on regardless of rigs.

I play in a Beatles cover duo, with volumes kept reasonable, and as clean as I can get for the most part.

May I have a blessing on this order, and on the rig?

Hi Steve,

Sounds like a good plan!
