joeghee Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi There, Yesterday I finally got my new Barefaced six10 delivered. I Think it looks stunning!!! Here are the first pictures. More comments on sound quality follow after the weekend. By than, I've had the virgin rehearsal end virgin gig with it.... The tolex looks and feels super nice and is very well glued. I do think that the side handles are mounted upside down. When mounted like this, there is not enough space for the wrist if it's carried by two people.... In the pictures you can see the "hybrid resonator" which basically seems like a bass port in the bottom of the cab... I am very curious about the sound!!! Cheers from the Netherlands!

When cabs are this light it seems a design assumption is made that only one person will be carrying them and that isn't always the case. Apart from that these are cracking cabs. I'm waiting for the review after your first gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah looking forward to hearing your thoughts after gigging it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've always like the handles like that personally but I can see you point. Looks like a step up from Barefaced though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Dean Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) The handles look great , but i would say they are upside down but that's hardly a problem (it depends on which way you grab it ), the bass port reminds me of the one Peavey did on their Delta combo .

Roland Rock Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The handles look the same as the ones on the '69er. I can't say I ever noticed the 'upside down handle' issue. Then again, I never felt the need to ask for help when lifting it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeghee Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Alex Claber read this topic too. This is what he emailed me: [i]Hi Arn, Glad it's there and that you like the look! Regarding the handles, it was a conscious decision to put them that way up because they're comfier for carrying the cab on your own - we did try them both ways around. The majority of customers who buy our cabs are having to move their gear themselves so it's more important that it's better for one person to move than two, and if two are carrying it then it's no great hardship to grip the bar with your fingers than your whole hand - it's not exactly massively heavy! But we can't please everyone with how we do handles because people vary so much in size and shape and strength. Let us know how the cab performs. Best regards, Alex P.S. The exit of the hybrid resonator is indeed a conventional port tube but in an unconventional place. But it's not acting like a port normally does.[/i] Regarding the handles: [i]His reply makes sense to me. I am a small guy so the speaker is a bit wide for me to carry comfortably by myself. Weight is less of an issue ;-) [/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think these handles are a great improvement , & how hard can it be to turn them the other way . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My AE210 handles only became an issue when I was loading in and out on a boat and the tide was out so the gang plank looked more like a ladder. That was definitely a 2 man lift. But not a big deal and it wouldn't stop me buying a great sounding cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, they are easily unscrewed, although I know that Alex uses a sealant around the handles too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurbs Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Looks great, especially with the amp on top! Do you have any pictures with the band? It is hard to judge size unless it is with reference to something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I guess you'd have to avoid placing it on a deep pile rug or carpet to stop blocking that port on the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
