Here is an opportunity to get your hands on the third ever Barefaced Four10 made (Serial Number RF003) - the first two are owned by Jah Wobble.

I have reluctantly come to accept that this is way more power than I need for rehearsals, and I tend to use the house combo when we play gigs, so I am freeing up some space in the spare room and letting this one go.

This has always been kept in the house, and the tolex is in mint condition. It sounds incredible as you can imagine, and I have loved playing it paired with my 1976 Fender Bassman. Half the weight of a standard old school 4x10, and a slightly smaller package make this a very practical cab which is okay for rehearsal and will hold its own on the biggest stages.

I'm based in Leeds but travel to Cheshire once a week, so can arrange to meet anywhere along M62 corridor within reason.

Here's the details from Barefaced:

So small for a 4x10” but so loud and produces so much bottom end if you want it.

Barefaced Line Array for amazing dispersion and Hybrid Resonator for tight controlled lows but thick deep bass weight. 10CR drivers as ever have warm fat punch that growls when pushed hard and roars at max loudness.
Need more output? Use two FOUR10s to blow Marshall stacks off the stage, add a TWO10S for a modular SIX10, or two TWO10S cabs for a modular EIGHT10.

How does this compare tonally to classic 4x10"s?
Compared to a Trace 1048 it's fatter and warmer sounding with less honk. Compared to an SWR Goliath it's tighter but deeper in the lows with more midrange weight. Compared to an Ampeg 410HE it's bigger in the lows and more transparent through the mids. Compared to an Ampeg 410HLF it's tighter in the lows and stronger in the mids. Compared to these cabs with their tweeters turned right down the Four10 has more treble clarity around the room, whilst with the horns all the way up the Four10 sounds more mellow but more consistent, without that sonic gap betwen woofer and tweeter in the low treble region.
