New amp and new cab. I’m loving it. This outdoor gig did have me wondering though: the concept of the AVD is to couple the cab with the room acoustics (at least for the mids and highs, as I understand it).

So does an outdoor stage negate that? There was a wooden fence behind us so that probably helped but what if there was nothing behind me?

The Reformer is sounding wonderful - favourite cab I have, and the fact that it's a joy to carry to / from gigs is the icing on the cake! :-)

I have 2 Barefaced Reformer cabs, 1 with a Stereo Activier. Expensive, but among the best gear I ever bought.

With many other parts of the chain - guitars, pedals, amps - there are so many great choices and it's hard to say which is really better than the other (and a lot of it is subjective obviously). But a Barefaced cab makes such a significant difference vis-a-vis every other cab, it's unreal.

I recommend them to everyone I know that ever even went near a guitar. I wish you guys drown in business! And I will order many more cabs in the future. I need a 2x10, maybe even a 4x10? And some day some bass cabs as well!

(To be fair: Kammler cabs come close, but they were much more expensive, much heavier, and they are not being produced anymore!)

Hi Alex,

This email is coming to you a LONG TIME in the FUTURE to this thread! I was looking through my email for something else and I realised back in 2024 I had sent you a long response to this thread but (probably on a lot of back medication back then, as I had that surgery) I noticed I had sent the email to my friend instead of you! I can't explain why I would have done that, other than meds at the time.

In summary, the combination of the Mesa Mark VII and the low-cut switch on the back of this amazing, amazing cabinet was always the right combination for this amp. It has been the most impressive performer and several of the professional musicians who have played at home home over the last two years are actually still talking about this today. One of them is planning on buying this cabinet for gigs and for his music school, though I know there are many more options now.

In other news, I've been rearranging my home studio and looking at my two bass cabinets (a babyface and a smaller one stacked on it), big M9 Carbine head teetering precariously above, with a Subway D800 on top of that. What doesn't look right about it is I should just buy more cabinets for my bass. I don't need them. I want them - who wouldn't? Your brand and engineering is in a realm of its own.

I'm trying to figure out how to mic the guitar cabinet here, with the two speakers vertically. I'm thinking SM57 or Sennheiser dynamic + condenser up front and maybe a condenser in the room to pick up that sweet comb filtered reflection. Should I just mic the top or bottom or both? If you have any time at all and can point me to a fast tip, I'd welcome it.

Thank you for the years and years of great enjoyment.

Cheers,

Derek

Got my 2 One10 cabs back in December. Finally played a couple of outdoor gigs recently and am very happy with the sound and portability of the cabs.

I can take one to church or school gigs and fill up a gymnasium. Both cabs with a 300w head have more than enough volume for a medium loud rock band outdoors. We use PA support for the blend, don’t need it for volume.

Everyone is amazed that these feather weight cans can sound so good and play so loudly.

Extremely happy with my purchase.

Hi Alex,

I wanted to reach out and say thank you for building such an amazing cabinet.

I've been playing bass for a long time and have owned a lot of gear over the years. The Super Twin is one of those rare pieces of equipment that immediately made me smile the first time I played through it.

What struck me most was how much of the instrument comes through. I found myself hearing differences in timbre between notes played on different strings that I'd never really noticed before. Instead of just hearing a note, I was hearing the character of the instrument behind the note.

The low end is massive, but what really impressed me was how much weight and authority the notes have all the way up the neck. Nothing feels lost.

After spending decades chasing gear, I've realized that what matters most to me isn't features or gimmicks. It's a cabinet that reproduces my instrument honestly and exceptionally well. The Super Twin does exactly that. I've heard you talk about that in your YouTube videos, but I never really understood what you meant because I'd never actually experienced it for myself. Now I get it.

My gear has changed a bit since our initial conversation in February. I've since picked up a GK 1001RB Legacy and a Fender American Pro II Jazz V. I think I've finally found my way to tone home after all these years, and the Super Twin has been a huge part of that journey.

Thank you for all the work that went into designing and building it, and please pass my thanks along to everyone at Barefaced who had a hand in making it happen. I'm looking forward to putting many years and many gigs on this cabinet. It was worth the wait. It's clear a lot of care went into it.

Cheers,

Josh

I am looking for some guidance on what bass cab might suit a fairly unique two amp setup.

I am building a "guitarviol" essentially a modern electric version of the arpeggione. It's tuned the same as a guitar but strung with custom cello strings and has a bridge radius similar to a double bass so it can be played with a bow. It has RMC piezo bridge saddles running through their polydrive ii preamp.

I have a two amp setup.

A fender deluxe reverb head into a barefaced usurper cab loaded with a celestion alnico cream and a barefaced reformer loaded with a celestion creamback 75.

A fender super bassman - no cab for this yet and was considering one of the following:
Super 24

Two10ST

Four10T

Love the two guitar cabs I have from you already and looking forward to your thoughts on what might suit this unusual setup.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim,

This sounds very cool!

My inclination is towards a Four10 (no tweeter) - I think with a bowed electric with piezos you'll benefit from the extra warmth of the 10CR drivers and I can't see a tweeter adding anything good when you've got the guitar rig to do the highs.

Best regards,

Alex

I received the Three10 cabinet this lunchtime.

You asked for feedback so:

The build quality is super... The cover is great... I'm sure it will sound great... It looks really cool...

Until I try to put my new Fender Bassman 800 Amp on top...
Am I missing something or have I ordered the wrong cabinet for this Amp?

I will need to take the feet off the amp or file down the feet so it will fit onto the cabinet. Then I will need to cover the screws heads... Should I have ordered something else as well, or made clearer what I was doing... ?

I'm sure there are a lot of Bassman amps out there that would look great on your speaker if it fitted better straight out of the box...

Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Thanks,

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

You just need to unscrew the current feet and move them inboard. And then put some screws in the holes the feet have left behind so it looks tidy.

We do have all the cab dimensions and lots of photos on our website so customers can check all this stuff - that's not a big difference in width so it looks good anyway!

Best regards,

Alex

So this puppy came to my door today. Egg box for reference 🙃

MUCH louder than I thought I would be.

So with this and my super twin T, I’m set for anything 🥳

I'm late to tell you I received the cab and took some time to discover it.

It's great! I'm learning to play the bass, started 9 monthes ago. I can hear everything I play even plugged direct with a passive bass.

I have heard so many great things, I was convinced before my purchase. Now, I understand all the great words about your products.

Thank you again.

Flippin ‘eck! Monstrous! The pound-four-pound bass cab champ! Blows the proverbial out of my Mark 4x10 on just about every metric.

I am in love with it, all my basses again and bass playing generally.

Thank you all so much, Barefaced Bunch. I shall be singing your praises to the rafters to anyone who can hear me above all that power and swagger…

Very best wishes

Jon
