Guys. Let me just say “What a Cab”!. Absolutely awesome detail, thump and clarity all at the same time.
I’m looking forward to winding it up even more in the near future.

Great work
Cheers
Don.

Quick question. Would there be an issue with adding a one 10T to the SC? I know the power handling is different but I’m wondering if the 10 would cope. I’d be using a Genzler Magellan 800.

Cheers again guys
Don

Alex responds: Glad to hear it! I don't generally recommend mixing our 10CR and 12XN cabs because they're so different, not just the power handling.

Thanks for checking in. I did receive the Super Midget (and the 2 T-shirts — thanks!) on November 8.

I had a chance to play through them this past weekend. They sounded great: full, loud, really nice. My guitar-player mate of 35+ years commented on how great the new rig sounds.

Thanks to all you Barefaced folks — your cabs are great! I’ll leave some reviews of the SC and SM on your website in the near future.

14/11/22 - Super Compact dual cab stack - UK

As for my cabs, they are simply brilliant. I just love everything about them. I use a Handbox R400/Orange Terror 500 through them and they perform faultlessly. I do get quite a lot of compliments about my bass sound and when l think back to when l used to cart around 2 4x10 Trace cabs there's absolutely no comparison!
Just keep doing what you're doing because whatever magic it is, its absolutely spot on. Regards, Steve

BTW., can I also say how completely delighted I am with my cabs.  It is such a rare thing when reality lives up to expectations but your cabs certainly do. They are everything your said they were but that doesn’t quite capture the feeling, the satisfaction, of playing thru the cabs – simply a different world !!!

I own two of the super compacts and absolutely love them! I really wanted to pull the trigger on a super twin to add to the mix during your Black Friday sale when it was around $1000, but didn’t quite have the funds. I now do and was wondering if you have any other sales throughout the year as I can’t quite make it to buying a full priced one. If not, I understand, but thought I’d check in the case that there’s something coming up... I appreciate it and keep it up — these are by far the greatest cabs I’ve ever used/heard!

I just realized that tomorrow (Dec. 15) marks the 1 year anniversary of receiving my very first Barefaced cabinet! On the eve of such a monumental celebration, I thought that it would be appropriate to contact you guys and express a few things. 

First and foremost--THANK YOU!!! My Barefaced Super Compact (C187) has been the best bass speaker cabinet that I've ever owned! I've used it consistently (pretty much exclusively) throughout the course of the entire year and on every single occasion, find myself grinning ear to ear with satisfaction and loving it even more! Without fail, on every single gig, someone will ask me about it. Everyone from bandmates to sound guys to audience members wants to know what it is and how "that" sound could come from such a compact package! The kicker is when I insist that they pick it up with one hand! You should see their faces! Love it every time!

Throughout the year, the cab has been tested at venues and volumes ranging the entire gamut--tiny, quiet loungy bar and restaurant gigs, full-on outdoor rock stages, medium-sized indoor club stages with full pro FOH, weddings, even an outdoor running marathon on the beach for 20,000 plus people! There was not a single instance when the Barefaced cabinet did not perform flawlessly! One of my favorite moments was during an all-day annual Surf music festival with a notorious exceptional backline, when my little Super Compact held its own against 2 15" bass cabinets, and 6 (yes, 6!) vintage JBL 15" guitar cabs! No one could believe it! Every bass player in the room wanted that cab!

I've used a lot of different gear over the course of my career, but I've never felt so supportive of any one company until Barefaced. Sometimes I just want to scream it from the rooftops!!! Barefaced make modern musical bass miracles. Period. I can't tell you how many people I've encouraged to visit the website, watch Alex's in-depth videos, and read the insightful, deep articles online. The company truly is a revelation! I really would like to do whatever I can to help promote the company. What is the best way? Continue to post on social media?

Now, the big question is....what should I get next??? Honestly, the Super Compact really covers just about any gig I could imagine. But, I want to continue to support the company and promote your amazing and revolutionary work. What I can potentially envision is a situation where I may need to push just a bit more air. Just a tad louder and bigger, if you will. The question is, do I add another Super Compact and make a stack? Do I go for the Super Twin? Or, do I opt to have an entirely different sound at my disposal and go for something (Four 10 or Six 10) that utilizes the 10" drivers? 

Just to reiterate...I play Surf primarily, along with a lot of Exotica/Lounge and favor a "retro" sound with very little high end and very warm, round bottom using Fender Precisions with flats and the tone rolled almost completely off. 

What do you think might be the next logical louder cab to have in my arsenal? Also, I've been wondering if you guys would ever consider covering a cab in blonde tolex? The backline of the aforementioned Surf festival with all the 15" speakers is exclusively blonde and I've always thought it would be so cool to have something that would match!

In closing...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I cannot thank you enough for your amazing product! I am so beyond a satisfied customer! Please do not ever hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help you guys in any way. Alright, off to tonight's gig with my trusty Super Compact! (we're doing the entire Ventures Christmas album!) : )

Warmly and Sincerely,

Jonpaul
