JTUK Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1416731370' post='2612907'] I'd like to know what the actual design is. [/quote] This is the more pertinent point... Nobody has seen it, or heard it and it is unclear how it will even be finished, or when... Don't get this thread at all.. Its a non product atm, to all intents and purposes...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I think purpose of this thread is discussion about the product as the op has ordered one, together with feedback once it's out. I'm not sure if their 610 is out atm but I understand this is simply modular based system on that. I'm interested in this thread to see one wild and hear thoughts on it. Guess anything with barefaced in the title will attract criticism round here, which is a shame. Big gripes from some about handles and finish look to be addressed and still it wnot be good enough - however the company improves over time. Personally I just find constant barefaced criticism makes for some very boring and predictable reading, often moves off topic unecessarily and makes reading topics I'm interested in hard work.

Marvin Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The Retro Two10, as described on the BF website, is a ported cab that is made to sound like a sealed cab. At a guess it'll look like the majority of all other cabs, a rectangular black box...doesn't make for exciting photography IMO, so no need for pictures of it really.

[/quote] This is what I thought, when I ordered mine. I was more interested in it after speaking to Alex about what I wanted from a cab and how it would sound. He certainly was communicative then! I am just hoping I can still get mine before Christmas. This is in line with what I was told by Alex when I ordered, but doesn't ring true after reading this thread.....

Roland Rock Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 When I had my very long wait, I had paid a deposit, and then the balance was paid once the cab was completed and ready to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Hands Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I might be repeating what Bigwan posted last week, but I've just had the following response from Alex: "We're working on the tolexing right now. It simply comes down to how long it takes for us to get that process nailed to a sufficiently high standard - once it's sorted then we can make these outstanding Retro10 cabs very quickly. We're also waiting for the steel grills but that doesn't affect your order." (I ordered the cloth version) I guess my next question would be "how long will that take then?", but I'm guessing I'd light the touchpaper on that one!

Regardless it sounds like good premise and despite my previous excellent experience with my Super Compact I think I will wait for actual user verdicts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest monsterthompson Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 [quote] By only letting higher mids and treble come from one speakers we get much better dispersion through those frequencies so you have more consistent tone around the stage and venue. Not something you'll notice in a shop but something that can feel life changing on noisy gigs.[/quote] (from the BF site) - so how do you mic this beast?

[/quote] There's a thread about this style of crossover running on Talkbass at the moment. One speaker is running full-range, while the other is lowpassed and only carries the lows and low mids. So I think it would just be a case of micing the full-range one of the pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
