Big 24

The Big 24 represents the pinnacle of our ability to combine cutting-edge audio engineering with vintage-inspired craftsmanship. This is the cab for anyone who want the extreme loudness and full-range accuracy of our awesome Big Twin 3 but totally retro aesthetics, which can be customised with endless choices of tolex and grill cloth. Like an automotive restomod for bass guitar world.

It's the exact same size as our Six10 - 24" (610mm) wide to look amazing under your SVT, only 13" deep so unlike any fridges it's easy to get in your car or through a doorway, and comically light for something so imposing on stage. From the outside it looks "just like a bass cab" - but on the inside it's an almost impossibly complex structure of bracing and porting and edge reinforcement and the SuperCooler Tech. The BT3 was the most complex bass cab ever - the Big 24 steps the manufacturing challenge up another level, hence the price.

Just like the Big Twin 3 it has the output and bottom of a 4x10" plus 1x18" stack, plus far superior dispersion and quicker transient response. For everyone from those wanting to hear their bass like it's through huge studio monitors to those stacking up the gnarliest FX chains and dominating the mix with layers of sound cutting through, sitting under and slotting between walls of guitar noise

My Big 24 arrived safe and sound yesterday. And it sounds incredible. I’m blown away by how something small relative to a traditional 810 fridge can sound so huge and monstrous. So huge yet reactive to my playing. My current band is a metallic hardcore project that tunes to drop B flat. The Big 24 handles the low tuning so well. During our initial gear talk, I failed to mention how low I tuned, but I’m guessing by the way the Big 24 handles the big string, it’s the best cab in your lineup for lower tunings? I’ll be grabbing my standard-tuned bass today and can’t wait to hear how good it sounds again. Since I’m used to sealed Ampeg cabs, I was a little worried that it’d take getting used to hearing a more modern cab, wondering if I should have gone with your Six10 instead. But after yesterday, I think your 12 speakers can do anything a bass player would want. With an SVT, P bass, and a couple of dirt pedals, the Big 24 is the perfect canvas for creating tones that fit in with the brands of yesteryear. I’m confident it would sound great with modern tones, too, if that was my style. 

Thank you, Isaac, Alex, and the whole team at Barefaced. I’m 34 and have been playing bass since I was 12. Playing through your cab yesterday was one of my most memorable moments in 22 years of playing.
