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.

Hello,

I am a proud owner of a Big 24 and a Six10 and they are both amazing. I use the Big 24 as a huge FRFR for my function band work with Quad Cortex into the AG500 (bypassing the preamp) and the Six10 for my work in an original band with analog pedals and either an SVT or a Jad Freer Sisma. Having lived and played on both cabinets for a while, (and putting aside the very different applications I use them for) on balance, I prefer the sound of the Six10. If forced to choose only one cabinet for any application, I would go Six10. That being said the Six10 and SVT are getting to be a bit too much to load in and out every night. I am looking to downsize. The Sisma has me sorted for downsizing amps and is a worthy 9lbs replacement for the SVT. For cabinets, I have a strong inclination to go with a Three10. Would you agree? If not, what would you recommend? Assuming that you agree with that, I also predict that once I start loading in a Three10 to shows, the Big24 may also start to feel a bit big to lug around to function work. So my second question is, if I am likely headed toward a world with one cabinet for both original and function work, would you recommend Three10 or Three10T?

Thanks in advance for your time and help with this.

Best,

Robert

Hi Robert,

If you use the extended highs on the Big 24 then definitely go with the Three10T if you want to cover that realm too. Obviously the SVT is wider than the Three10, so bear that in mind from an aesthetic point of view.

Best regards,

Alex

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,

Looking impeccable in the practice space. The cab is a monster! So much more low end than the Two10S I was running and also more clarity and punch. I really love it! Can't wait for the first gig, in ~10 days.

Worth the wait, thanks team!
