11/11/25 - Super Compact - UK

If/when I purchase a second Super Compact should I stack it on top, due to phase cancellation issues? I use my SC in “landscape mode” as I place my old Fender Bassman 135 head on top.

Hi Tom,

I'd stack the second on top - it's not so much phase cancellation as giving you better horizontal dispersion vs side by side. That'll be great with the Bassman! Hope the first is sounding good.

Best regards,

06/11/25 - One10T - USA

I am a jazz bassist based in Seattle (see: jazzbassist.com) I bought a One10T bass cabinet and cover from you a while ago and I absolutely LOVE this speaker.

I play upright bass through it with a variety of amp heads. I have been thinking about adding another 10" cab to my rig for certain venues. What do you think about adding another 10" without a tweeter or might you suggest a second 10T would be better for balance? I am also a little worried about the tariff situation for sending to the US. It may add an undesired cost to the cabinet at my end.

Any thoughts about this?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Glad you're loving it! How do you set the tweeter on the One10T now?

Regarding tariffs, they add about 10% to the cost - annoying but hopefully not a dealbreaker with how good our cabs are!

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I usually have the tweeter set about midway on the One10T. That works fine in most settings for me.

Thank you for getting the cabinet out and on good time - it made a fast track to my place, arriving this morning without a hitch and is in good working order!

I have 2 Big Baby's already (best cabs I ever had) but I have a new weekly gig where I must go up 2 flights of stairs. We don’t play loud up there so the Super Mini T will be great.

No matter what amp I put through it. Just a phenomenal cab. But now I can't really listen to cheaper made cabs. The Orange and Mesas are still fun though anything below is just not up to standard 😂

Received the speaker this morning.

Sound great at home. Looking forward to our next practise session in Monday.

Thanks again for chasing up the delivery time

Alex,

First, I am LOVING my Six 10. Other bass players tend to like my sound. With the barefaced in use at our past few shows, I’ve received *really* enthusiastic responses from other musicians and FOH sound folks.  (Highlight: Nick Rogers who makes Dirty Haggard Audio pedals introducing himself after a show to say my bass sounded amazing, and he was thrilled to see I used one of his pedals.)

So now I want more.

It seems like the Super 24 would fit nicely on top of my Six 10. Would it be stable up there, with a heavy head on top of both cabs stacked up? Any other considerations I should think of regarding a Super 24/Six 10 cab combo?

(I feel like you made the Super 24 for people like me. Once I got the six 10, I was really curious how it would sound blended with some 12” speakers, and missed having some speakers at chest level like I had with an 8x10 or stacked 4x10s. I wasn’t super eager to have both a Six 10 and a Big Twin/ Big 24 side-by-side on stage or in the van. I sent myself a reminder back in September to ask you what the options would be for a 12” setup that would fit on the Six 10… right before you started posting about the Super 24 coming…)

Guitar cab:

I’m looking for cab and speaker guidance. I’d like something smallish that would be good for home practice and recording use, but still get loud for a band practice or show in a pinch. So probably the Reformer 112? But I don’t know which speaker would be best. I don’t have a full-time guitar head, but have options and would likely get something that would match the speaker well. My main guitar is essentially a mustang that I built myself with an EGC aluminium neck and EGC pickups. It’s a lot of fun. The sound I like is bright and clear with a lot of attack, and can get a lot of abrasive gain that still sounds musical. A sound like if Shellac, Unwound and Drive Like Jehu had a baby. (I really like the sound of an old Fender Twin with the gain just starting to break up and the main volume cranked.)

Thanks for the help. I look forward to sending you more of my hard-earned money.

Hi Jez,

That's great to hear! 

I don't see any issues with stacking a Super 24 on a Six10 in terms of stability unless you're gigging on a boat (we did have some feedback years back from someone who said he had to put his cabs side by side on a Scottish tourist boat gig!) or you're having particularly punk moments on stage.

So regarding mixing the 10CR and 12XN drivers, in the past my view on this was that I preferred having matched drivers because of the coherency and because with our cabs you don't need different drivers to cover different parts of the frequency spectrum. However, partly from guitar driver experimentation, more recently I've come to the conclusion that there's an argument for different drivers to thicken up your sound (at the expensive of immediacy). The key then is balancing the power distribution and sensitivity and I'd say that two or three 10CR drivers to each 12XN is the right balance.

Regarding the guitar cab, I'm wondering about the the A-Type or maybe even the Hempback? Have you checked out any of our demo videos?

The cab was absolutely outstanding on the road. I have been happy with it for home use for a while, but getting it up to gig volume in medium sized rooms was a revelation. The uniformity of the sound at different points in the room is an absolute gamechanger, and the clarity and accuracy is a league above my previous cab. Everyone we showed it to was blown away and I'd like another passive unit to complete a stereo rig.

Aloha my friends at Barefaced! It’s been a few years since I’ve purchased my BB3 and it has amazed everyone with stunning clarity and SPL. On every stage, large or small I get the same reaction. Upon the first note of my bass, the band members turn their heads with curiosity and a big smile while the sound engineers always ask me “what is that”? It’s awesome! But you know that already…

Hi, I've been considering the Reality 112FR cab for a while now, ever since a friend of mine transitioned from the Laney FRFR (x2) to the Reality 112 (x2). They sound awesome! I was wondering if I were to buy 2 cabs, would you be able to offer a discount? Many thanks.

30/10/25 - Reformer 112 (G12T-75) - UK

I have been using two Reformer 112 cabs with Celestion G12T-75's since May 2025. (I got these to replace my two Marshall 1922 cabs).

I just wanted to say what a revelation this has been. The sound is more clearer and has more clarity with the highs and lows. Members of the band say they can now hear me on the other side of the stage. They have all complimented on the sound that I am now getting from the new cabs. They are half the weight of my previous ones. I can't say how much this has greatly improved my physical and mental well being after a late night gig. At my age you need all the help you can get.

I was sceptical about buying but so glad I made the move.

Thank you Barefaced,

Pete
