WAYNESWORLD Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Hi folks. As I am lucky enough to to possibly be changing my car for something a bit more fun.Wondered if any of you have owned An Aguilar SL112 and a Barefaced One 10 and could give me your views on differences in volume tone etc. My current rig is TH500 and 2 x SL 112 .The SL would not fit in the boot but for small gigs thought about the possibility of a One 10 or even a One 10T if you could give me your views it would be much appreciated.. Cheers Edited April 7, 2021 by WAYNESWORLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrHUGEs Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hmmm ... what a coincidence. Been eyeing up these exact cabs (potentially paired with an Aguilar head too) as an upgrade up from a combo up to a grown up (albeit not for gigging) rig. Interested to hear any experiences with these. 👀 Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I don't know the SL112 but I used to run 3 Bergantino AE112's and these were replaced by 2 SC's. That was in a stupidly loud band and with 5 string basses. In a normal band without a mad guitarist and with 4 string basses I would expect a Barefaced Super Compact to match 2 x SL112's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNESWORLD Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Thanks for the info.It’s really the One 10s I need to get info on.But thanks for the contribution.The SL112 x 2 get pretty loud and they are very lite.I’m happy with there volume but a tad smaller cab size would be useful .

grandad Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I'm afraid my experience is only with the One10. I bought it to downsize without ever hearing it beforehand. So impressed was I, I bought another. If you bought any of the BF range, 10's or 12's you could live with them for a while, get to know if they are what you want, and/or not, move them on with minimum loss.

Killed_by_Death Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 My impression of Aguilar is scOOped, which seems to be a goal for them. Some like it, I don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassintheface Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have owned a pair of DB112's and SL112's. I'd use both cabs as my main rig and the single for smaller gigs, musical theatre jobs and such. I also bought a BF 0ne 10 to pair with a TE ELF. All are excellent at what they do, but IME, the BF one 10 odden't keep up with the single SL112. They're both great and the BF punches well above its size though. I'd like to try a compact rig of 2 x BF one 10's with my Aggy TH500.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I tried the Aguilar 12". The sound was kinda boxy, nearly honky. I think it would have needed a good amount of foam inside it. I did not want to start a trial and bought a 2 x 12". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I went from 3 x AE112s to a single BF Super Twin (2x12). At least as much presence and ooomph (and even in the band with TWO stooopidly loud Marshall 100+412 geetards), and nearly a third of the weight. I should add I ran the AEs with the horns off, as for me they scooped the sound...which I don't like in a band context. The only thing I'd change the Super Twin for would be a pair of SCs, just for modularity in smaller pubs with the trio, but I have a Rumble 100 (with a 'proper' Eminence 12 in it) which covers that eventuality, sooooo...I'm all good 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I only know the BF end. It goes without saying the One10 is a gorgeous wee mite, and you'll have to spend more money on a beer glass to place on top to stop it blowing away in any passing breeze . But.. but.. it's surprising how often you hear people say, with @grandad "I had a One10, fantastic... so good I bought another". And there's the rub. I too was amazed by it, but moved onto a Two10 just to get more oomph behind the oomph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
