Super Twin / Super Twin T

How can so much volume, so much midrange punch, so much fat bottom and such sweet venue-filling treble come from a cab that's so easy to move?

The purity of two 12XN drivers in a highly optimised enclosure, no tweeters, no crossover - just added simplicity. Replaces cabs twice its size and many times its weight. Goes loud with very little power, goes VERY LOUD with loads. As always with Barefaced, outstanding dispersion because that matters

I use the Barefaced Audio Super Twin 2x12 and I won't have anything else. 39lbs.

I have nothing but good things to say about this cab.

I run it with a Ashdown RM 800 EVO III and it's a beast. My latest gig was an outside gig and I hade to turn down my amp because otherwise he could not use the DI to the PA-system since the cab was so loud. We were total of two bands that night and the other band used my cab also. Hearing the cab when sitting in the crowd was a joy and the bassist was very impressed with the accuracy and directness of the cab.

It's not a cheap cab but it's worth every penny it costs. Big thanks to Alex when sorting out which cab for me to buy and also to the employees that build these rock solid but very light cabs.

Still loving my Super Twin T bass cab.

Question: I have a Hartke LH1000. To run the bridged 1000W amp the manual says I need a 4 pole speakon cable. Does this jive with the speakon jack on the cab, or is it only 2 pole? I mean, the 500W sides are still cool, just want to see what this thing can do!

Leon

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

Hi Leon,

Yes, you probably need to go 1+ 2+ on the amp end and 1+ 1- on the cab end. So the latter can be a 2 or 4 pole speakon.

Let us know what difference you notice!

Best regards,

Alex

Hi there,

I’ve been using a super twin in a my main rig for years and really enjoyed it, I did a smaller show yesterday where the PA failed and I offered my set up to put some vocals and guitar through it. As I have the model with no tweeter it sounded understandably muffled and a bit lo-fi.

Would you open to putting the matching tweeter in a separate enclosure allowing for flexibility in different situations, completely understand if not.

Sincerely,

Luke

I'm in a 4-piece rock band and we don't play coffee houses or low volume background music so this Super Twin T has been working out very well.

I've played Ashdown ABM 600, Gallien Krueger 800S Fusion, Mesa D800+ and Genzler Kinetix 800 heads through it and they all sounded quite good but this Bergantino HP Ultra is the best of the lot with this particular cab IME. The HP/LP filters, modern/vintage voicing, tube emulation, drive and nice onboard compressor add some good mojo to the EQ bands, punch, and bright buttons. The large amount of headroom on tap make this sound good both at lower volumes as well as when turning it up to match with a hard-hitting drummer.

The Super Twin T is a low-end cannon with excellent tone and definition which is marvelous with the ample headroom of the HP Ultra. I've received a lot of positive feedback from both bandmates and the audience about how solid the bass tone is. My lower back isn't up for heavy lifting anymore so I wanted a one-cab solution with enough power (along with FOH when needed) to handle any gig that was also easy to transport. The castors, placement of the 3 handles, and protective cover make this easy to get in and out of my SUV.

Quite pleased with this investment.

Absolutely chuffed that my Super Twin has finally arrived! Sounds incredible compared to the rumble 210 I had to use until this came. 100 tube watts at 4ohms has this thing growling.

I have an Origin Effects Super Vintage running into a Barefaced Super Twin, and it is probably the best bass tone I've ever heard. Always on.

I played an amazing gig in a beautiful venue on Saturday with my band Jody And The Jerms supporting The Frank and Walters, with both bands using my Barefaced Super Twin T cab. Paul from F&W was playing through the Orange head and I used the Aguilar. Incredible sounding bass all night!

For what it’s worth, this is a killer setup. Fantastic combination of lightweight gear and just sounds divine. I currently have 4 Barefaced cabs, with another trying to get through customs, and they all perform flawlessly. Looking forward to taking this out next week!!

Hi Guys,

18/05/25 - Super Twelve (Super Twin) - UK

Hi I am the owner of a Barefaced 2x12 non-tweeter cab. Described by me as the best cab I have ever owned. I am no longer playing large venues and have downsized to a Barefaced Midget which is ideal for the smaller venues that I now play.

A buyer for the 2x12 cab has asked if it is 8 or 4 ohm and I cannot remember the spec. Can you assist in stating the correct rating. I have owned the cab for approx 10 years and include a picture.

Thanks in advance.  

Eddie

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

Hi Eddie,

That's a Super Twelve. 4 ohm. ~1000W. Glad it's done so well for you, ask its new owner to let us know how they like it!

Best regards,

Alex

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

Was asked to drop you a message after buying a 2nd hand Barefaced 212 cab from a member on Basschat last night.

The seller set it up flat with a TC Staccato head. First thing was it was so blooming loud even with a reasonably low master setting.

2nd thing that hit me was how even the tone was. It was warm and deep but with amazing clarity. No boom, no shrilling high end, just an even tone across the board.

3rd thing which was one of the main reasons I was looking at BF cabs was that no matter where I stood, in front, the side or even leaning over it i could hear this cab the exact same as if standing directly in front of it. Not sure i've ever experienced that with a cab before.

4th point was the weight. My current Mesa SW210/115 cabs are lightweight but I could lift this cab one handed to chest height. My head was asking questions like "How can a cab this light with only 30cm depth be so deep and warm sounding ?"

Got the cab home and was able to crank it a little bit more (detached house in countryside) and everything sounded the exact same at higher volumes apart from everything rattling in the room. Boosted the bass levels on the active Sandberg VM4 to max and WOW it just got better and better. (I normally run amps and bass EQ almost flat with some slight tweaks for different venues)

I normally use either my Mesa TT800 or Handbox WB-100 heads depending how i feel. Leaning more towards the HB all valve head at the moment and I reckon the 212 cab will sound gorgeous with this head. I can seriously say I'm a convert to BF cabs. I bought 2nd hand just in case it wasn't for me but I can see why these cabs are so popular. I will be leaving a review or NCD post on Basschat at some point probably after the gig on Sat.

Hope this helps

Dave

I got my Super Twin June the 19th of 2017. Happy? Hell yes. These days I am playing a Wyn 5 string bass, into an Aguilar AG500 with the Super Twin, I create what the sound guys call liquid bass, not loud, just makes everyone feel that 40HZ all around them and it melts dancers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, what a rig to play. Then in November of 23 I got a Super Compact which I take out for small stuff. Still the same results, which prompted a bass player near me to buy a Barefaced cab. Great fun to show up to a job in my Smart car with all my stuff. Bottom line. (Ha) Barefaced is superior to everything else I have played or heard. What a Cabinet!!!!!

The speakers sound great, I've had the Super Twin for about 9 years and just added the Super Compact, not for extra volume but to get something closer to my ears whilst still having a cab on the floor.

I received my Super Twin cab last month and have used on a couple of gigs since.

Really pleased so far with both portability and performance, it really is a fantastic piece of kit (bloomin eck it’s loud! 🫨) and certainly lives up to all the great reviews!

Definitely a keeper so thanks for the ST recommendation!

I have been the proud owner of a 1st gen Super Twin cabinet since you launched it way back in the day and it's still going great.

I use a TC RH750 amp but now need to replace the amp. My question is what is the normal power handling of the cab so I can get the best output (wattage) amp i.e. would a 1000w output from an amp damage the cab or should I go for a lower output?

Thanks,

Dave

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

Hi Dave,

It's fine with anything up to 1200W but you certainly don't need that much power (unless you're in a VERY loud band!) Glad it's still performing well!

Best regards,

Alex

Sounds f’n awesome! Thank you guys so much for getting it here before my gig next week, will do full review and send more photos once I put it through the paces onstage.

One happy customer,

The amp (Ashdown ABM600) and cab are working great, I’m not sure what the issue was previously but at the last gig they worked superbly as usual!!

Thank you for the help

I got to play at a great event at the O2 Academy in Oxford on Saturday evening and offered up my bass rig of Orange Terror Bass and BF Super Twin T to the backline. I had only good comments from the other bassists about how good it sounded, and mic'd up the bass players sounded immense through the venue's PA.

Super Twin and Six10 are nailing it for almost a decade now.

I miss my ex Super Midget that has been stolen from rehearsal studio 4 years ago and is probably on duty somewhere in Bosnia... I will be in need for a smaller cab, Two10T or One10T, for small gigs in future and I'm curious about active FR Reality for guitar to combine it with Helix or Kemper processor.

Best regards to your team,

Janez

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

Hi Janez,

Glad to hear your cabs are still performing well! There's an active One10T now which is pretty cool!

Best regards,

I'm enjoying gigging my Super Twin, Super Compact and BB2. They sound as good as they ever had but cosmetically they are starting to look a little rough around the edges. Could you recommend a suitable textured paint so I can touch them up?

Dave

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

Hi Dave,

We can sell you some of our paint - it's custom made for us so I don't know of anything else you can buy that'll work. The texture is all in the technique though - it's the same paint on the outside and the baffle and ports etc.

Looking forward to receiving the cabinet! This will be the 2nd one, 1st cabinet was purchased in 2019 for a surprise birthday gift for my bf and it’s very well loved. This is also a gift but not a surprise so my bf keeps asking me  

He’s very excited and like a schoolboy! 

Thank you again. Always nice dealing with you!

I bought my Super Twin in 2016 and the first thing that jumped out at me was how honest the sound was! Everything I did came through. It made me play the "bass" more than the "amp" if that makes sense? I love the fact that it is so clean and honest with the sound it puts out and wow it's loud! You can use a lower powered amp and still fill a room with great quality sound.

I was using an Ampeg SVT 410HLF cab before I got it which weighed about 50KG and the Super Twin weighs 19KG and sounds better (at least in my humble opinion!). I can honestly say it's the best bit of gear I've ever bought.

Hi Alex,

I currently have a Super Twin and would appreciate any thoughts you might have about which cab would be best for rehearsals and small gigs. I have a GSS Baby Sumo which will put out 600W@ 4 ohms and 300 @ 8 ohms. I will be running a Noble Pre /DI into the Sumo. This would be the third cab of yours I’ve had and love them all. My sound engineer loves them, he’s a bassist and really wants one!

Best,

Pete

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

Hi Pete,

If you like the Super Twin then the Super Compact or the Super 3rd is the obvious choice, as both are essentially half a Super Twin. The Super 3rd is shaped to stack neatly on the Super Twin, whilst the Super Compact is taller and slimmer as a better standalone cab. Glad you're loving our cabs!

Best regards,

Alex

I have a Barefaced Super Twin (2x12, no HF driver) I've had for long while. I highly recommend these as well. Only cab I'll ever need again unless something happens to it, and would buy another immediately if it did. Have a few different amps I pair it with (GK, Eden, SVT) but they all sound great through it. For 90 percent of the gigs I play though, load-ins can be iffy and if I'm certain there is PA support, I bring my "practice" amp which is a Hartke KB12 (1x12, 500w, DI out) which sounds perfectly fine, plenty of volume to hear myself if needed, light, and won't kill me or break the bank if something happens to it. Load in everything in one trip.

(In response to a video listing Barefaced in a 2024 best-of round-up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzvalYDAAHM&t=690s)

I second a vote for Barefaced cabs, I have two myself, mostly use a Super Twin T which I've had for many years and is been a joy to gig with, what with being so light yet punchy AF when I run my Mark Bass Little Mark Tube 800 through it
