Mr. Foxen Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1379936652' post='2218367'] Just updated this bit, hopefully it answers the above questions: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/which-barefaced.htm"]http://barefacedbass...h-barefaced.htm[/url] [/quote] Kind of get the impression you've been excited and wanting to say stuff for a while.

Any news about the handles ... [/quote] 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.

cremonabass Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Just made the deposit for a Big Baby 2! Will be replacing 2 Aguilar Sl112 and maybe my Berg ip112/ex112.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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.

jmchich Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

pantherairsoft Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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....!

Merton Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehux Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) 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?

brensabre79 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
