Why does every damn BF thread end up in a bloody argument? It's pathetic. Some people love the cabs Some people love the idea of the cabs Some people don't mind the cabs, but they can take them or leave them Some people don't like the cabs based on 1st hand experience (i.e. they have gigged one themselves) Some people don't like them based on hearing other people gig them Some people don't like the cabs based on an impression of earlier generation cabs and haven't yet tried the newer ones Some people don't like the cabs based on a number of design/construction/finishing aspects but may or may not have ever actually seen, played or even heard one All of the above are perfectly valid, as they all allow us to form an opinion in one way or another. I for one can totally understand the looks thing - there are loads of cabs I wouldn't buy because of the looks but (for me) BF isn't in that category. Let's leave it be for once shall we?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1461683551' post='3036722'] I don't think amps have outputs with different impedances, do they? My understanding is that the output from the amp is in Volts, and that depending on the impedance presented by the speaker cab, that voltage creates a certain amount of movement in the speaker that we perceive as sound. More voltage = more sound. The socket on the back of the amp indicates the minimum (or even recommended) impedance of any cab connected to it... I believe all of the above to be true. That doesn't mean that it is, of course! [/quote] Mr MooseBlaster's amps are all valve though so have different transformer tappings for 8, 4 and (in the case of the CTM100) 2 ohms. Valve amps are different from solid state - going too low on the impedance is *generally* not quite as bad because of the way the current and voltage is delivered and soaked up. With solid state amps the lower the impedance the more current the output transistors try to pass. It gets to a point where they can't keep passing more current so they eventually go pop.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1461683089' post='3036717'] Er... no [/quote] just wondered if that counted as "mail order" like Barefaced apparently does Playing devils advocate

Does buying a stock bass from, say ACG, Status, Shuker et al, cover the same ground as buying from Barefaced...? You see where I'm going with this...?

[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1461255239' post='3032976'] My wallet is already investigating... [/quote] Excellent!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461239062' post='3032742'] It does seem to be two Two10s rather than one Four10... [/quote] I thought it was 1/2 an Eight10?

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1461230547' post='3032608'] People may be shocked to learn I am considered ordering one... I no longer used my Orange OBC 410 due to it being a dead weight and barely ever moving from my house, so that was sold about 6 months back. It sounded excellent, no issue there. Anyone experienced in what the high detail is like in this series of cabs? I do like to go from warm low mid thump to all out aggressive treble grind... [/quote] Based on my very brief experience of the Two10 I reckon this would do that very nicely indeed!

Good work! I can't afford one at the moment sadly. Would love to hear one

Haha! OT I like the black face, or the black and silver face, or the silver and blue face. Hell they all look good. And sound good. We're all doomed!

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1461058060' post='3030958'] Oh dear, we're all doomed! DOOMED! Eude [/quote] Do it, or wait for the Merton Signature Ashdown which I think I may have sold to Mark Gooday enough yesterday....

Great playing as always The amp sounds very nice too!

Or Barefaced has just made Jah Wobble two 4x10 cabs, they will no doubt be releasing that to the wider public too and that would be top of my list having played a CTM30 through a Retro Two10

TKS do a wide version of their 2x12 specifically for this reason Edit - didn't read your first post properly so you know this already

Joe bought a pair of Ashdown cabs from me, cracking chap and a very easy deal, cheers!

[quote name='danbowskill' timestamp='1460498887' post='3026374'] just took ownership of this amazing AshdownCl610 today, ive played a lot of cabs using my Ampeg cl head n this trumps the lot of em :-) ..............................................A total match made in heaven .[attachment=216833:IMG_20160412_225013.jpg] [/quote] Equally cracking!

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1460498424' post='3026369'] [attachment=216832:Barefaced.png] 3 great UK made products [/quote] Cracking

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1460556199' post='3026777'] Wobble gigging with Barefaced? Yes, with mysterious 4x10s it would seem..? Wheels in motion re my first One10! [/quote] Woohoo to all of the above!

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1460547907' post='3026651'] I assume they will still have the high pass on one side for better dispersion? [/quote] I imagine it's just a 4x10 version of the 6x10 so yes I expect so!

Funnily enough this time last year I had that head and wanted a 4x10 from BF to go with it. Funny how things change and turn out

Alex did tell me they were looking at doing the 4x10 to complete the lineup so why not

I still rate the WT550 as the best solid state head I've ever owned. Brilliant preamp
