I ordered one anyway! What have I done? [/quote] I appreciate that you and LewisK1975 pointed this out! Having looked at all the comments on here, I understand both why Barefaced made the cab AND how there's still a potential market for 1 4 ohm cab solution. I guess I'll have to have another look at the Barefaced website! ;-) Hope you have fun with your purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty hung up on the 8ohm / 2ohm thing, but I'm blown away by the loudness of this cab compared to my outgoing 4ohm pairing. I'll be way lower on the output dial next jam I reckon.

FinnDave Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm just back from gigging my ABM500 and Barefaced Super Twin, your picture was in my mind!

omikin Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Mine arrived yesterday. Only had a quick 10 mins with it at low volume but it sounds really really nice. I'm looking forward to band practice on Weds very much. Here's what it looks like with a 40 yr old Fender Bassman on top. A very cute half stack IMO.

bigjimmyc Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ok so I gave my new cab a proper test on Monday. My grin factor was pretty high. Trust the guitarists to roll eyes at the new gear. "my amp is only 50 watts" = Vintage Marshall tube amp which kills at 50 paces. I'm genuinely impressed at how the BF410 cuts through the whole band. It has bags of depth and range. As promised, it delivers a bigger punch than my 4ohm rig at similar output settings. If anything it's a bit disconcerting. I found myself changing my style, changing the very notes of tried and tested tunes, going for the low Bb, standing further away and actually playing quieter. It's also revealed some problems with my amp which were masked by the old speakers . More repair bills coming. But otherwise, on an ABM 500 at about 5 on the output, this cab is deafening. An amazing piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikin Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 So a bit of feedback from last night's rehearsal: First impressions from the rest of the band: fear. Both guitarists use AC30s and they were definitely worried about keeping up with this. Obviously I wasn't going to just deafen them for the sake of it, but it was gratifying to put them on their toes. In terms of volume, I was a tiny bit apprehensive that this would need more power from my amp than the Super 12 as that was a 4 ohm cab capable of handling 1200w, and this one is an 8 ohm cab capable of handling 1000w. I was also thinking that if I did have to push the amp harder it would break up sooner at the same volume (does this make sense?). I needn't have worried. I left the amp settings all the same as I had with the Super 12 and the 410 was actually slightly louder, so much so that I had to turn it down slightly to get to the right volume. Absolutely no concerns about this cab being able to handle any volume requirements i might have for it. The tone is fantastic. Definitely different from the Super 12, but the only way I can describe it is even more full and warm. I am really really happy with this cab. Sorry, Lozz!

[/quote] youre not helping, i have some money there but can i justify 800 quid on a bass cab? how much do i value my testicles? do i have enough wife points? (sorry that last one is stolen) i've never had gas like this before, i always thought barefaced were cool for what they did but nothing got me, must be something about 4x10s that floats my boat and a 4x10 that works effectively gives me the horn Edited April 28, 2016 by lowhand_mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
