Original Compact, what a lovely old thing this is

04/02/26 - Super Mini T - USA

Even though I pride myself in building my own speaker cabinets, YOLO so I bought a Barefaced Super Mini T. It's a single 600W 12" with an adjustable tweeter in a small ported cab with a "Top-Hat" hole for a speaker stand. I'm a bass player too and I've been following Barefaced for a while. These cabs are made in England and are rare in the US, but a bass buddy of mine has a super-twin that sounds great. I bought the smallest 12" cab they make, thinking I could double-duty it for steel and bass (not on the same gig though - I hope).

Last night I played steel with a 11pc. pretty loud hard to describe "jazz-fusion" band. The cabinet was right behind me up on the drum riser. It sounded absolutely fantastic, and what's more amazing was that everyone in the band could hear me - everywhere on stage. I don't know how they got the dispersion to be as good as it is!

I had been using a 1501BW in a closed-back cab. With that, the mid-bump was hard to tame, I sounded a bit thin in the audience, and players on the other side of the stage had trouble hearing me. Not with the Barefaced.

It apparently made me play better too - I've never received so many high-fives after a show.

I'm seriously starting to love my BB3 now, after a few weeks of "breaking it in" and getting used to it.

Initially, I found it rather "honky" and harsh in the midrange, but I was prepared that it would act a bit different from the average "coloured" bass speaker and that it would demand some changes in my setup. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now and I'm getting a tone that I really like.

I do the bulk of my tone shaping on a pedal board, ending with a JHS colour box for EQ, saturation and as a DI. It obviously doesn't sound exactly the same through the PA as on stage, but I must say that it's pretty close and I'm really quite happy with both. The BB3 is capable of playing seriously loud and at the same time with exeptional clarity and depth. It's really nice to have a B-string with the same volume as the rest of them!

Here's a pic from last nights gig with a local cover band. My BB3 is paired with a Mesa Carbine M6 + an additional TKS 1x15" for extra oomph, even though I probably didn't need it. The BB3 is more than capable as a monitor for small/medium gigs like these (Audience was about 100 ppl).

Super happy so far!

I bought 3 Two10 cabs from you a few years ago. I absolutely love them, and they sound great with literally every head I’ve played through them.

I use all 3 cabs 10%, 2 cabs 70%, and 1 cab 20% of the time. I also play upright bass, and even more of the time play a Yamaha Silent Bass (SLB300).

As much as I love the 10’s for electric bass, I’m thinking I want to try the 12’s for upright. I’m wondering what your recommendation would be. I’m normally playing an 800 watt class D Mesa head.

Thanks,

Keith

PS: any idea on shipping , tax, tariff fees?

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

Hi Keith,

That's great to hear! I think the Super Mini T is the most obvious cab for upright. Do you use an outboard preamp for the upright and/or go through the Mesa's preamp? Shipping is included, as always. USA tariffs now add about 10%.

Best regards,

27/01/26 - Reformer 112 - Germany

Hello dear Barefaced-team,

First of all: I use your Barefaced Reformer with a V30 and I am very happy with the sound.

I have two questions:

I use 1/4" jack cables and both inputs on my cabinet are worn out. I know how to solder and I'd like to replace the inputs with identical parts. Is «Neutrik NLJ2MDXX-V» the part you use?

Also, can you tell by the age of my cabinet, if a Celestion Alnico would fit? The S/N is G208V. I read on your site that newer Reformer models accept a variety of Celestions.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help in this matter!

Best regards from Germany,

James Chan-A-Sue

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

Hi James,

Are you sure both inputs are worn out? That's something that almost never happens. Your cab won't fit an alnico speaker, it'll fit any ferrite or neo Celestion though. That is the correct part though. Are you sure the cables aren't faulty?

Best regards,

Alex

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

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your swift reply! I'm the second owner of the cabinet. My guess is the guy who played it before me didn't use proper speaker cables. Hot cables probably widened the sockets. The plastic isn't melted but the jacks do wiggle around too much.

I'm using speaker cables from Orange… So, THANK YOU for the info. Now I can replace the parts.

Also: Keep up the great work! Apart from the cabinet, I very much enjoy your YouTube channel.

Best regards,

I got my speaker cab today and I have to say that as soon that I plugged in man.... it was worth the wait!

You did a great job, the power amp is so quiet, thank you so much! I feel like with this speaker cab I finally don't have to deal with the limitation of a standard guitar amplifier... You rules!

Cheers,

Got the Mini. Safe and sound.

Everything looks and sounds great. I'm really excited about my Mini Stack!

Thank you Barefaced!

08/02/26 - Super Twin - USA

My Super Twin is turning eight years old.

I play a Wyn 5 string bass with Norstrand pickups and use a Aguilar AG500 amp. I play mostly blues but cover other jaunras as well. Every sound guy plugs into my amp, at the end of the evening they tell me they didn't put me in the mix because the Super Twin filled the room. I can get a 40hz wave out of it that moves people's clothing and is now referred to as liquid bass. How cool. (I am not playing loud)

When people tell me that I sound great I just say of have a great bass and I point at the Super Twin...

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Hey!

Loving the new Cab. I had a question about the”Barefaced” emblem. Can I (how) easily remove it and put it on the cab so it is not always sideways :)

Mark

Hi Mark,

We've got a bit on our site detailing queries about removing the badge:

I've been using the reality for some time now and the truth is I'm very happy with it. I have used it in several gigs with my mood dwarf pedal with amp and cabin simulation. The cab sounds great with a lot of dynamics and accuracy in response.

Excellent. I absolutely love mine. So so good. My Marshall is now a plant stand 😮

22/01/26 - Activier One10T - Austria

Dear Alex, Isaac, and The Barefaced Team!

I received the One10T active last week.

I was disappointed for the first five minutes, but then the round, powerful, three-dimensional sound came through. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the information from the instruction manual on the Barefaced website beforehand.

“Your cab has a high-power driver that takes time to loosen up. It will get deeper, fatter, smoother, and cleaner sounding after some loud use.”

The sound is also wonderful in a band context.

I think there will soon be an expansion with one of your 12XN bass cabs.

And by the way, the One10T looks great too.

Thank you very much, and continued success.

One more question: Can I combine the One10T with my Markbass CMB 150 Black Line? And if so, what cable do I need?

Matthias

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

Hi Matthias,

You can use your Markbass combo with the Activier if you go via the Markbass amp and take cable from the FX send to the Activier. Or if there's a speaker input socket on the combo you can use the Activier to drive the combo's internal speaker. What were you planning to pair them for?

Best regards,

Alex

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

Hi Alex, thank you very much for your reply.

I'm not a very experienced bass player yet, so I want to try out all the combinations I can - there was no particular reason. As a result, I can tell you that the combination doesn't work well. I'll use both cabs solo, and as I said, the Activier One 10T is fantastic.

However, I'm sure I'll want to buy a Super Mini T soon, not because I need more power at the moment, but simply to try out different cabs and have expansion options if necessary.

Best regards and continued success.

Matthias
