Had both mine done. The first one would probably have been fine and I would have risked it rather than go to hell - but the second one definitely wouldn't. It was done by a different guy who was much more clumsy and recovery time was longer.

Welcome to the forum! Here's hoping you are able to buy what you want (and sell what I want ) on here.

[quote name='BarelyL4' timestamp='1507481656' post='3385760'] Hi Mike, that sounds like a great idea - given that, I live up near Stonehenge and I see that you are in Somerset, whereabouts roughly? [/quote] Taunton, not far from J25 M5 - pm me if that's any good to you. I've got 2 x One10s and a Super Compact Gen 3.

[quote name='BarelyL4' timestamp='1507364268' post='3384934'] Hi Guys, thinking of pulling the trigger on either a Barefaced Two 10 or 2 x One 10's - appreciate any thoughts that you may have on the subject. For reference, I play in a 3 piece rock covers band, (drummer is fairly loud), and I like to have a more "edgy" rock tone that I can hear. I play both finger & pic style and use a MB Little Mark amp. Btw, I also wear ear protection. Not looking to be stupidly loud, just nice defined bass tone that I / the audience can hear. Cheers. [/quote] Whereabouts do you live? There may well be BCers local to you who would let you try out your bass/amp thru their BF cab(s). In fact, I seem to remember that Alex at BF has a list of customers willing to do just that. You can only get so far with forum advice as there are just too many variables - not least what each of us considers to be a 'good sound'.

Gotcha - so, the "siblings" are the other 10" multis and the Two10 really is designed to be used in the vertical rather than horizontal position.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1507385593' post='3385128'] AFAIK only the x10 cabs have the filters. [/quote] Quote from one of Alex's earlier posts on this thread: "We low pass filter one driver on the Two10 (and continue that with its bigger siblings)..." I take that to mean the 2 x 12" cab's.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1507314674' post='3384767'] We low pass filter one driver on the Two10 (and continue that with its bigger siblings) because they're side by side. Vertically stacked drivers combine well in the real world - there's a reason line-array PA systems are so popular! [/quote] Alex, there appears (to me anyway!) to be a contradiction in what you say. With a multi-driver set-up, you state that a vertical arrangement works better than a side-by-side one - which I get. However, fitting two sets of rubber feet to your multi-driver cab's suggest that they are designed to be used in either orientation; in fact, the orientation of the 'Barefaced' logo on the Two10 cab suggests that it's actually intended to be used on its side - hence the need for a low-pass filter on one driver. But then, why do your 12" multi-cab's, which are obviously meant to be used vertically (emphasised by the placement of the BF logo) still have a low-pass filter on one driver? Why don't you just specify that all your multi cab's should be used in vertical orientation (obviously keep both sets of rubber feet for storage purposes) and do away with the low-pass filter?

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1507313761' post='3384754'] Sure! It's as Alex described: in its simplest terms, you get a bass boost that fattens the sound up. I do try to keep my posts as jargon-free as possible, but sometimes you can't avoid it. [/quote] Thanks, and no criticism of your 'jargon' content intended btw. I find all this stuff about speakers/cabs interesting and am trying to increase my understanding if it.

Thanks for your detailed post Stevie, much of which regrettably goes over my head. Could you explain how this relates to the subjective reports from the OP and others (me included) that stacking a couple of One10s produces a much more enjoyable sound than using one on its own? (Sorry mate, on re-reading this it comes across as a bit flippant - which it's not meant to be. I'm just trying to understand.)

The 12" driver is the same in both cab's so each one should be capable of moving the same volume of air (unless the slightly different BB2 enclosure makes a difference - ask Alex). It really depends on whether you want the different high-frequency response offered by the BB2. In any case, if you are not quite happy with what you have, you need to find a cab that suits you better - from BF or another manufacturer.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507226376' post='3384095'] No 'kind of' about it. [/quote] Certainly does - I'm surprised he doesn't do this for a living... no, wait a minute!

Having 2 x One10 cabs myself, I can confirm all of this! My 800w Genzler Magellan switches down to 2.7ohms and I'm tempted to replace my SC G3 with another One10 - one = good, 2 = better, 3 = even betterer

Haven't used pedal but 2-position factory-set tone-prints on TC amps are compression and octaver. Next most popular is apparently tube effect.

[quote name='fftc' timestamp='1507044583' post='3382993'] But isn't the One10 8 ohms? [/quote] Yep

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1506981639' post='3382575'] We did have a batch of fans that were noisier than we would have liked it was caught quickly but there are a few out there, if it's troublesome we would be happy to swap the fan out for a quieter one for you. You are free to pop in and we can sort whilst you wait or if you want to pop it in the post we can sort and ship back to you. Just let me know. Cheers. [/quote] Thanks for your generous offer, which I am gratefully accepting (pm sent) - as market awareness and customer support goes, it just doesn't come any better than what you've done here

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1506971461' post='3382465'] Yep, took a 3-page thread for me to realise I like what I've got, I just want more! [/quote] Makes sense to me - it's what I've done and appears to be the preferred route for BF owners on this forum generally. If money (and storage space) were no object I'd get a second SC and a third One10.

I was gigging a Midget T (previous gen 12" driver) and Super Compact G3 for a while and they worked well - separately and together. The only reason I sold the Midget was that I don't really need the 'T' and had meanwhile discovered the charms (for me anyway) of the One10. I like the subtle vintage colouration of the 10" driver in my covers band and have bought a second one. I find the permutations of the 3 BF cabs and 3 amps I now use (Eden WTX264, Ashdown RM500 EVO, Genzler Magellan 800) cover all the bases (and basses ). This is by far the best kit I've ever had and don't expect to change anything in the foreseeable future.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1505760164' post='3374141'] I bought the head thinking I'd try it and see if I liked it and I can't see me needing more power or other options in the foreseeable future. [/quote] Couldn't have put it better myself! Only thing I can fault is the relatively noisy fan - not really a problem in the gigs I do but is that normal?

One10 plus Eden WTX264 is what I use at home and for small/'unplugged'-type gigs.

Worst thing for me is a single, obvious ding on an otherwise pristine bass.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1506611746' post='3379945'] Can anyone see a good reason not to go ahead? [/quote] Not me, but that's not surprising as I couldn't find any good reason not to go ahead myself - twice. Not a single regret btw

I'm using a SC with 2xOne10s. Asked BF Alex and he doesn't recommend it because (in his words): ..."you lose focus, but a lot of people do it despite - or maybe because of that." Sounds very nice to me though, which I guess is all that counts!
