I'm using it to drive a Barefaced Super 12T.

I'm just "upgrading" to a 800W Mark bass (little Mark though, not valve) with a Barefaced Super Twin..... so reading that you are too loud even on one fills me with immense happiness :D

You are quite sensible to look for a solution. There's a sticky above about volume gain etc. In an ideal world you'd just turn down the bass and turn the amp up but I find the tone and volume interact on the bass and turning the bass right down doesn't improve the hum and noise to signal ratio.

Putting something in the fx loop that will reduce gain is a good idea the other is to use a simple pre-amp between the bass and amp, there are plenty of cheap ones that are used to mix guitars. Some DI boxes have a volume control on too.
