Ah ha, good man.

Thread resurrection. Has anyone tried a 3x10? I'm gigging a pair of Super Compacts. They are good, loud, full, fill the room, and I have no complaints about them. They are also easy to move. Except..... I do like the colouration of the BF 10's. The SC's need judicious eq and the right amp to get where I want them to be, and even then, they're not quite like the tone of BF 10's. I've had three One10's and a Two10 in the past, I probably wish I'd kept the Two10, but hey ho. On a gig yesterday, the bass player in the band on after us at a festival, an old friend, had a BF 6x10. It sounded wonderful. He was using an old Gallien Krueger 400RB, and a vintage Jazz Bass. But, the cab was too heavy for me to consider it as an option. We did talk about cabs a bit, he's curious about the 2x10, me not so much having had one, so I think the 3x10 could be the way forward for me. Anyway......if you have any experience, please share. Thanks, Rob

Oh heck, sorry Rob. It was a pretty good gig, but our gig at the Rose & Crown later was better. The Aspinall was absolutely rammed with people. They must make a mint.

I’m about to play gig 3 of 4 of the Bank Holiday weekend, and I’m using the Puma I bought from you. It’s bleedin’ marvellous.

^this 100%. No need to look elsewhere.

I’m using a pair of Super Compacts now. This is my first weekend away with them both, four gigs in total. But I’m using them as a modular rig, two gigs with one cab, two gigs with two. They “say” a pair of Super Compacts is the same as a Super Twin, although I do wonder. I’ve had four of the BF 10” cabs, and when I got these 12”s it took me time to get used to them, they are very different. The 10’s are far more coloured in comparison. I’m getting used to them now though. I do sort of desire a 12 that sounds more like the 10 in that rounded rolled off top, old school way, but I can get there with amp choice and eq.

I think you're right. I will have two Super Compacts with me anyway, as I have 4 gigs with 2 different bands this weekend in the same town, and one of the bands needs the "big rig". Ok, decision made.

I should have said why! The gigs are "walk to's", only about 10 minutes from our accommodation, but that's 10 minutes with a Super Compact + amp, or the Rumble 100. I do have a lightweight foldable sack truck however.

I'm about to use mine on a couple of larger gigs. I think I'm taking a bit of a chance, but the band is low key, with a quiet drummer, and it seems plenty at rehearsal. Having had a look around, I notice some people are saying they have replaced the speaker with great results. Has anyone here done it? What did you use, was it easy, did it fit, what are your thoughts? I'm thinking a driver from Barefaced like the ones in my Super Compacts would be awesome. I've actually asked Alex what he thinks, but not had a reply yet. Ta, Rob

All this "this, by that, byt'other" bends my head. That's Lancashire for WTF.

Tim bought a Barefaced cab from me this week. Good to deal with. Recommended. Rob

Ian bought a Barefaced cab from me this week. Good comms, no hassles. Highly recommended. Cheers, Rob

I think this was the "@Merton cab", it been great, glad you like it. I'm upgrading to a pair of Super Compacts, bear with, I may be back to One10's, who knows!

If that was even remotely close to me I'd be going to check it out. Seems like a good price for these times.

Not sure what he might say. I could probably ask him. Here's a pic from a few years ago, that's me at the back on the left sitting on the vintage Marshall playing a few licks on his '59 Les Paul "Carmelita", and Joe B himself playing rhythm for me on a '58 Les Paul previously owned by Mick Ralphs of Bad Company. Rob

Joint ownership is actually something people do. Joe Bonamassa and Charlie Daughtry buy guitars jointly and arrange periods of time when they reside with each of the two owners. It means they can buy really high end gear and enjoy it, but for half the price. Rob

Absolutely no hurry Rob

Yes please. PM it to me, we're taking up too much space in this thread.

I'm flattered Rob, thank you. Can I use your review ? You're the first reviewer we've ever had!
