gingerfish Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hello, just been looking around the barefaced site and spotted the retro Two10. Thinking this might a new addition but anyone had chance to check one out? [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/retro-two10.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/retro-two10.htm[/url] What do you reckon?

Beer of the Bass Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 There was a rather shouty and not terribly informative thread about these a few weeks ago.

Marvin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think a 4ohm 210 from Barefaced will generate a lot of interest, especially at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 For me it would be ideal to have an 8ohm version. Then get two, an incredibly portable 4x10 set-up, and with BF sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 [quote] [b] The Retro Two10 - the best old school sounding small cab ever?[/b] [/quote] This kills it for me... a full-range 2x10 (with horn) working at 4ohms and with only 15kg would have made me think twice about replacing the S12T.

Prime_BASS Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If they were 8 ohms I'd of ordered one, but I think the 12 ohm stuff is putting (me) others off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 This 'hybrid resonator' description is as clear as mud. Puts me right off when a manufacturer goes all marketing-speak. If it's a low-tuned ported cab why not say it? Or if it's something else like a passive radiator then why not say that? Or if it is something like a hybrid port/ transmission line (ie a system where standing waves are not minimised) then say that, though that would be ironic given what I remember of Alex's previous contributions to threads on TL speakers for bass guitar. There is a bigger irony in the evolution of barefaced products back toward the higher qts-style midbass bump, since that was exactly the type of sound so roundly derided when BF first started. But it is a good sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I know what you mean about the description, but OTOH they are still going to great lengths to be as transparent as possible about the performance specs of the cab, which is perhaps more useful information from a players point of view. And hey, you can have fun guessing what's going on with the ports when someone on here buys one and takes photos! I'd be very curious to hear what these new cabs sound like, though I'm avoiding succumbing to GAS partly by already having nice sounding cabs to suit the variety of gigs I do, and partly by having very little disposable income...

discreet Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm not fussed about specs or marketing-speak. Either it will sound good or it won't. And knowing Alex I can't imagine for a second that it won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) ...and it may be some time. One of Alex's 3 staff is hospitalized after a serious (non-work related!) injury... Hope the guy is ok. I'm in no hurry for my cab and I'd factored some delay into the wait for the premises move anyway, so I'm happy enough to wait.

davedave Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I`m really quite excited with the prospect of one of these. My OrMat 200 runs down to two ohms and I have a `69er. I got rid of my 8x10 for the `69er and I miss having the omph that those extra speakers provided. That`s not to say that the Barefaced is in any way lacking, We are just a little bit on the loud side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Alex's reply to the same question on 22nd September: "Hi Ian, Hopefully we'll get the CNC machine up and running again this week and then we can cut yours! Need to design the steel grill and get them made too... Best regards, Alex" ...so reading between the lines I'd say that means "don't hold your breath just yet"...
