countjodius Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has experience of pairing these two cabs? I'll be using these with a GB Streamliner 900 for more head room, and don't fancy another Barefaced! Thanks! Quote
Guest bassman7755 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Your question implies theres something you don't like about the BBT (I'm guessing this is the older model with the 6" mid driver ?). In that case you would probably be better off selling it and getting two new cabs, ideally identical ones. Quote
JapanAxe Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Pairing two dissimilar cabs is unlikely to work well. Keep the one you prefer and get a second one; sell the other cab. Quote
countjodius Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 Apologies, I should have elaborated. My logic was that a single BBT would do a better job for smaller gigs over a single SL 112 (given the suggested 450 watt over 250 watt difference, although I realise these figures aren't a measured indicator).

JTUK Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I don't see these two as a pairing. I like the SL112 so I'd get another one and use them for most gigs. Light enough and small enough and I like the tone. Quote
M@23 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) There are so many flavours of great for 1x12 bass cabs now. I've no extensive experience of either, but there are plenty of other options out there too. Pays your money and takes your choice! Do you already have the BF? Get another if you like it but want 'more', move it on if you want something different, is the general consensus. Edited July 10, 2016 by M@23 Quote

[/quote] Yes I currently have the Barefaced but fancy a change and abusing my Aguilar artist deal So maybe the next question would be how would the 2 x SL 112 stack compare to the single Big Baby T?! Thanks for the thoughts so far. Quote

[/quote] Well 2 of the 12's is going sound the same as one ... but louder Edited July 11, 2016 by bassman7755 Quote
