Nope. While I was grateful for quick delivery once I managed to get hold of them via the phone, it’s shame to find they weren’t more interested in the problem with their speaker

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately the broken speaker was distorting even when it was out of the cab, whereas the working one was fine. I managed to get a replacement speaker from Barefaced last week, so all is well now!

Did the speakers in the Two10s change somehow? I notice they now handle 500 watts instead of 400

The full range speaker has the fault And yes it says, 4 ohm cab & 400 watts

I have a number of gigs coming up and would like to get this fixed very soon and not wait until he is back at work. im also very interested to hear how a 135 destroyed a speaker with all the claims of very few speakers blowing

Hi all, I’ve run into an issue with my Two10 and I’m looking for some advice from anyone who’s been in a similar situation. I’ve owned the cab for 7 years and use it maybe 30 times a year, mostly with a clean sound using my Bassman 135. The 135 is generally turned up to around 5 for the gigs I play. It’s never a gnarly, aggressive sound, and I never use fuzz pedals etc. One of the speakers in my cab has started distorting, almost as if there’s an overdrive pedal in the signal path. At first, I thought it might be a wiring issue, but after extensive troubleshooting (including swapping basses, leads, the wiring and isolating the speakers) I’ve confirmed that the problem lies with one specific speaker. I took the cab to a tech who tested the speaker. It measured 4 ohms instead of 8 ohms but still moved properly when a signal was applied, and didn’t exhibit any obvious voice coil rub. However, while tapping on the cone, he noticed a sound as if something inside the speaker was loose. He suspects it’s an internal issue. I’ve reached out to Alex and had a couple of responses asking me to describe the distortion and where in the speaker it’s coming from. I know the Two10 uses custom-designed Eminence drivers, so a direct replacement might be tricky to source. I’d love to hear from anyone who has had to replace a driver in a Barefaced cab or anyone with advice on the closest replacement speaker that could work without compromising the cab’s performance.

Hi everyone, I’m in the market for a lightweight bass head to pair with my Barefaced Two10. My main amp is a Bassman 135, which I absolutely love for its chunky low-end and classic old-school treble plunk. However, it’s a bit heavy, fragile, and overkill for the Tuesday night rehearsals and wedding gigs. I’m looking for a lightweight head that delivers vintage 60s/70s bass tones. I don’t slap or do anything remote 80s. I use pick and fingers, and I’m a big fan of characterful clean bass sounds whether it be John McVie and Geezer Butler. I have a Epiphone Jack Casady with lovely old flat wounds and occasionally use a P bass. I’ve been considering the Fender Rumble 800 Head, but it’s a bit on the pricey side for something I want to be purely utilitarian and practical. Does anyone have recommendations for bass heads that nail those vintage vibes without being too hi-fi? There are so many options out there and I’m trying to narrow it down. Thanks in advance for your help
