Kind of get the impression you've been excited and wanting to say stuff for a while.

Edit: Hre's what I'm after:

[b] '69er update and a sister 2x15"[/b]

The '69er has thus been updated to Generation Three spec and we've created a sister cab for this old yet new sealed 6x1[b]0,[/b][u][b] a ported 2x15"[/b][/u] the exact same size and shape for those who want a less bright, more thunderous and even louder old school sound

Not instead of my 2 Super 15s, in addition to. Doom.

Haven't had a chance to read that yet. Any news about the handles ...

Hi jack

In Alex's new hardware spec, they have new uprated handles and feet on the smaller cabs, recessed handles on the big cabs, amongst other stuff.

Cheers

<voice of Alf from the Fast Show> Bugger! My cab GAS was all sorted, then this lot comes along. Oh bugger! </voice of Alf from the Fast Show>

[Salt on your Bass?]

Did anyone grab any snaps of the cabs from the bass bash?

Mr Foxen, That sounds mental! Brilliant!!

Just made the deposit for a Big Baby 2!
Will be replacing 2 Aguilar Sl112 and maybe my Berg ip112/ex112....

[alexclaber]

Anyone asking about T-shirts, I've made a terribly fancy page for online ordering of them: http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/T-shirts.htm

(The weird thing that's happened to the bottom border was obviously a stylistic decision, asymmetric is in...)

[fatback]

Anyone know whether old and new can be paired ok? Will a new super Compact pair with an old Midget? Also, looking at the info, i can;t make out whether the tweetered Midget is now gone from the range - doesn't look like there's a super tweeter version.

Talk about GAS.

So is the new ported 2x15 a replacement for the dubster? Was considering a dubster when I have some money, very sad if it's gone.

[funkle]

I have a Big Baby 2 on order. Can't wait!

Reckon its more like the Vintage, possibly the retuned vintage (with one plug in).

The Big Twin 2 effectively replaces the Dubster. As it stands no Dubster owners have used powerful enough amps to take their cab beyond the Big Twin 2's max LF SPL capabilities, plus the Big Twin 2 goes lower, is far more tonally versatile, smaller and possibly lighter too.

Excellent, now I know

[pantherairsoft]

I am VERY keen to trial my Big Twin T next to a new Big Twin 2. I would really like a serious A/B test. Very excited to give one a whirl Alex.

[Mudpup]

I needed an extra cab to go with my old Big One and after some discussion with Alex he recommended the new Big Baby 2.

The good news is that this was a few months ago and I should be taking delivery of the new cab sometime pretty soon

[WinterMute]

To be fair, my guitarist and drummer already look somewhat worried when I fire up the Big Twin T, that rig does everything that I wanted a rig to do, if the BT2 is bigger and badder I fear I'll be playing by myself....!

Me too! Only been 3 months. GK MB800 waiting for action! ;-)

Whoops. I just sent Alex an email to talk about ordering a Super Compact with Silver grille.

Let's face it, based on my experience of the prototype last year (with a ceramic driver) the description of the new Barefaced Neo driver sounds immense

I was too busy at the show to take snaps, but I did get these of the pre-production/unfinished Big Twin 2:









I think you can daisy chain them - if you have enough Uranium!!

Wow, cant wait to play one.........or two!!

[RandomBass]

Nice handles ;-)

And is that an Ashdown style Knob on the attenuator?

I like the recessed Tweeter/Speakons panel. It's a bit of a faff to get at the one hidden inside the port of my S12T

I haven't spotted the question yet, but are the new drivers available as an upgrade to existing cabs, or is there a change in the bracing/tuning arrangements that makes this unworkable?

Looks like he new cabs have different sizes to the old models so the new drivers won't be an upgrade... Alex should pop in soon with more info

[brensabre79]

I asked Alex that very question yesterday.
The answer is no. You can only get them with a new Cab unfortunately.

But as the Gen2 cabs were designed around the drivers they have in them, not the new ones, it might not be an optimum replacement anyway...

It's always very easy to think that what you have is inferior when a company releases a new model. My Super 12 is still by far and away the best cab I've had. And it IS still a fantastic product. The only reason I'd have to change to a new one is for a little more LF sensitivity so I can run my amp flat. It's not really enough of a reason to upgrade IMO. These things are not like iPhones, they are built to last!
