Six10 / Six10T

Our first 10CR model, designed to replace an 8x10” in terms of loudness, tone, bottom and punch, yet as small as many 4x10” cabs (it’s taller but shallower) and very light for its size.

Superior dispersion from the Barefaced Line Array design and tight controlled sealed cab thump with hugely increased power handling efficient from the Hybrid Resonator enclosure. The ultimate solution if you’ve always wanted an SVT+810 stack but can’t face moving a traditional fridge without roadies.
Need more output? Add a Two10S for a modular Eight10 stack.

Features

• Six 10CR extended-range drivers
• Hybrid Resonator enclosure
• Barefaced Line Array crossover
• Single large resonator outlet on base

• Single top strap handle
• Dual side bar/dish steel handles
• Tiltback wheels and large rubber feet
• Nickel-plated 2/3-sided steel corners
• Dual parallel combi speakon + 1/4” sockets

• Heavy duty black tolex
• Black or silver high strength cloth grill

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?

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

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

I’m going to ask what is probably the dumbest question you have ever received but…

I have one of your Six10 cabinets, and it’s incredible. When I bought it either you weren’t offering it with a tweeter or I wasn’t observant enough to choose the model with a tweeter. Is it possible to add a tweeter to it? Love the cabinet, but miss the tweeter.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

We didn't use to offer a tweeter on the 10CR models. Sadly it's not possible to retrofit the tweeter because it involves changing a huge number of panels and braces. You could get a Two10ST and stack it on top for loud gigs and use it on its own for less loud situations!

Best regards,

Alex

I received my Six10 in November 2019 and I have only grown more and more fond of the sound, feel and (low) weight of this cabinet during the time I have owned it! My band (hardcore/punk) plays 50-60 dates per year and the Six10 is truly the cornerstone of my bass sound. I get compliments on my bass tone on nearly every gig we play. In fact, two bass playing mates of mine have recently ordered and received Big Twins after playing, and falling in love with my Six10!

Occasionally, when my band plays very small venues/stages, the Six10 is too large and I've had to resort to using a backline cab and my bass tone suffers horribly... and here's where I made a mistake! I decided to purchase a new GK212 Neo IV 212 to use for the small stage gigs, and after 5 gigs with it over the last year along with a few rehearsals, I've learned that I truly dislike the overly bright/clangy/hyped sound of the speakers... and unfortunately it's too late for me to return.

With the above said, I am wondering if you would consider selling me two of your 12XN drivers as I am hoping they can provide a bit of the warmth I get with my Six10?

Todd

For me, the Six10 is such a beautiful sounding cab, and it just sounds better and better when I am able to really push it (usually only at outdoor/festival gigs), that I can't imagine wanting or needing a Two10 on top.

My sense is to save up for the Three10 as it will save me 20lbs over the Six10 and still be able to keep up with the dual Orange 212's our guitar player insists on using for our 'smaller' gigs at pubs/bars ;-) 

When you have a moment, please let me know your thoughts on the Three10

Thank you!

Just got the 210 hooked up with the 610.

Definitely dig it so far.
