14/06/25 - Big 24 - USA

Hello,

Several months into owing my Big 24 I absolutely love it! Thank you.

I’m playing a passive Jazz bass through some effects into a Jad Freer Sisma amp and then into the Big 24.

I’m diving into the world of modelling using a quad cortex. My intention is to replace all of my effects with the quad cortex. For live shows I want to create a split mix where the signal chain that has my effect blocks goes out to the amp set flat and then after the split I would add amp and cabinet models to go to the front of house.

My question is, given the Big 24 is so dead on accurate and behaves like a PA speaker, could I also run the amp and cabinet model through the Sisma (set flat) and Big 24 and get the sound of the modelled cabinet? Or would I get the double cabinet mud that would happen using a “traditional” bass cabinet?

I have only just gotten the quad cortex and in my house it sounds good running an 810 cabinet model through the Big 24, but that’s at bedroom volume, not in a mix and I don’t think it’s representative of how it would be in a room on a stage. Maybe I’m wrong.

I’d love your point of view/ advice on this application of the Big 24 and whether or not this was one of the intentions behind it. I know it’s not billed as an FRFR cabinet but it’s so accurate (to my ear) I thought it would be worth asking for your thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance for your time and help with this question.

Best,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Yes, the Big 24 with the HF control most of the way up is an FRFR cab! It's more accurate than most PA speakers. Glad you're loving it!

Best regards,

I have a very early One10 and I think the only things holding the Tolex on are the corner caps. Two questions: What glue would you advise me to use to stick the Tolex back on, and what would you charge me for you to re-Tolex the cab?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris,

We can send you some of our "jelly glue" to reglue it. Unfortunately it isn't possible for us to retolex your cab, it would cost more than building a whole new one! Hope it's sounding good despite this issue.

Best regards,

Alex

My Barefaced cabs have been making me sound good for the last 11 years. I use combinations of a Super Compact, Super Mini and BB2 and 2x One10's. All with Aguilar amps. The compliments keep coming.

I have owned one of your lightweight bass cabs (Super Compact) for a few years now and I love it. However I wonder why none of my speakon plugs fit it and I have to use speakon to jack to go from the amp to the cab.

Can you advise please?

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Glad you're loving it - but that's very strange! Our speakons take standard 2 pole or 4 pole Neutrik speakons - they're these: https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/nlj2md-v.pdf

(or on our newest cabs the new XX version which is black not dark green).

Best regards,

05/08/25 - Big Twin 2 + Six10 - USA

Hey fellas,

10-11 years ago I ordered my first barefaced cab, a Big Twin 2. Its been through over 2000 shows all over the US. It took a bad spill off a loading dock in 2017 and another in 2019. I bought a Six10 around then for a more vintage sound. Anyway, the BigTwin is basically rattling itself apart. When I hit low notes, it makes a terrible noise. The drivers are fine, but the cab is done.

I would love to transfer them to a new cab. What would I need to spend to have a new cab sent here, with no drivers or crossover?

I want to add, that these are the best sounding cabs I've ever played. I turned several bassist in Austin on to these, and they love them as much as I do.

Thanks fellas

Robert

Hi Bobby,

Sorry to hear your BT2 is struggling! Unfortunately the main cost of a cab is in building it and that's also our current production limitation. So we could build you a new one to swap the drivers to but it won't cost that much less than a complete one. As the BT2 is a painted cab, not tolexed, then it should be possible to fix it completely, with enough glue and clamping - you'd need to pull all the insulation out so you can see the inside properly and then find all the loose joints. We can build you another but not as cheaply as I'm sure you'd like - I wish we had the profitability to do otherwise!

Best regards,

Alex

Hope all is good in Brighton. Still promoting Barefaced here in Cornwall.

Question:

I use a Dynacord TGX10 amp. It runs Sub aux at 1250W into 8 Ohms which I have been doing passively whilst sorting LF1400 amp fix. It will however will deliver 2500W into 4 Ohms. I like using a singe front facing Sub stage centre, plus easy transport.

What is the current speaker in the LF1400?

Would it be worth upgrading to Fane 18XL1600 (4 Ohm) or 18XL2000 (8 Ohm). Would the cab design handle it and would they fit?

I run 2 channels F/H L + R into 2 x BB2 and add 2 x BT2 in parallel for bigger gigs. Did a 800 audience Country Festival at weekend. Sounded great.

Hi Martin,

Rig looks epic!

This is the driver in the LF1400: https://faitalpro.com/en/products/LF_Loudspeakers/product_details/index.php?id=201070125

It's only available as 4 or 8 ohms and we used the 8 ohm version so we could bridge the power amp module.

I don't think you'll gain anything from changing the driver, the current one is really good - and I don't know if those others will fit and work well with the cab design.

Best regards,

Alex

Fantastic sounding! TY

Currently I am playing through an Orange 212 open back and a Reformer 112 with a V30 (amazing product by the way, that Helmholtz resonator concept is ingenious!)

Sir Paul vacations on Long Island's south fork. I had the honour of playing his songs on the north fork. Thanks to Barefaced Audio I think that he may have heard me.

04/09/25 - Two10 - USA

I have a Super Twin and a Two10. I've been considering getting a real deal tube amp, like a SVT or Super Bassman. Either cab should be okay with either amp, right?

Is there one of the two y'all prefer through your cabs? Might be a huge loaded question, so you don't have to go into much detail. They both have adjustable ohm settings and I should manage.

BTW - I love the Two10 so much, I might get a second one with a tweeter. I might sell the Super Twin in advance. I love it, as well, but I'm preferring 10s these days and also prefer the regular tolex type cabs like the Two10.

Seth

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

Hi Seth,

It entirely depends on what you want tonally! We are just in the process of launching an SVT width version of the Super Twin so it looks better with big valve amps on it. But it sounds like the Two10 is more your thing, in which case adding a second will give you a great modular rig.

Best regards,

Alex

30/08/25 - Two10 + One10 - Sweden

I got the Two10 about three months ago, and I am getting tired of lugging it back and forth to the rehearsing space - because I cannot be without this sound - so I decided to get a One10 for home practice. And maybe even for a stack if we have a HIGH volume gig.

I have to say, the Two10 has blown away me, the drummer, and everybody else in the band. It is almost a bit silly, but it has opened up a new door for me, creatively on the bass guitar. So thanks for making good gear!

The cab has arrived! It’s a thing of beauty. I’ve had a quick test with my SVT and ‘64 Gibson EB0 and it sounds so sweet!

This is a perfect rig for my needs right now.

Many thanks to you and everyone at Barefaced. You are all legends 🙌

Pinky sounds fantastic. Better, and seemingly louder than the D400 I'd been using with my passive One10. Connecting my Two10 to the Activier sounded just monstrous. Just really the best (and prettiest) piece of kit Ive purchased in a long time.
