Barefaced Three10 Teaser: Anybody Know More?

[WalMan]

I have one on order 😁

 

If it’s anything like the One10’s I’m sure it’ll be fine

I’m really interested in the three 10 cab. 
 

I am predominantly a 5 string player. 
 

how do you three 10 cab users find the cab copes with the low B string?

 

I've gigged with 2 One10's in a loud top 40's cover band using a 5 string bass and these cabs handled the gig perfectly. I also successfully gigged a Two10 and One10 in a loud blues rock band. I see no reason why the 310 wouldn't come through with flying colours.

Admirably! Mine never struggles.

I can't comment on whether it handles a 5 as I' don't use one. But I can't see any scenario where this cab wouldn't work. It's a cab I expect to keep forever (famous last words).

 

However, there have been small gigs where it has not been the most appropriate cab for the job, and I've used my One10 for those so far. Occasionally I have felt the One10 to be not quite enough, so I've ordered another one. Hopefully by Christmas I'll have all the options covered, 1x10, 2x10, and 3x10 depending on the gig. I love the sound of Barefaced 10" cabs.

There’s a new 2 x 12 based on the 4 x10 size cab. That would be a good choice

I bought a One10 WIDE, so I have one for small gigs, Three10 for medium or bigger gigs (if there's good monitoring) and effectively a 4x10 if I really want to blast it. The Three10 has a relatively small footprint, hardly bigger than your average 1x12 cab.

Yes I agree, the footprint is relatively small. However, when our drummer sees the Three10 with a vintage 400RB on top, his eyes light up and he sees it as an opportunity to hit a bit harder. So I take a rig commensurate with the size of the room, and it keeps the drummer at a reasonable level. It's odd, I know, but you haven't met our drummer (he's a great drummer btw).

 

The first time I took a One10 instead, it was amazing how much quieter he played.
