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.

The morning after the night before gig - I should have taken the Three10 !!

Theres never a reason to not take the Three10 mate. I love mine and the 610 isn't seeing any action atm.

I may have just placed an order for one 😀

I’m hoping the new premises will have mine with me soon 😁

[ossyrocks]

When I ordered my 3x10 in May 2024, lead time was stated at 6 to 8 weeks, and it took 8 weeks.

 

I'm waiting on another 1x10 at the moment, and lead time has been stated at 6 to 12 weeks. 

 

I don't know if it's the move to new premises, or just increased demand which is affecting lead times. 

 

I'm sure Scott Devine and Ian Martin Allison have had a lot to do with the increased exposure and interest for Barefaced too.

Good gig last night at a new venue. Drummer won the reconstituted Cannon Trophy, awarded in the past for the person that had the biggest ‘mare on the night. Local gig for me, he lives 45 minutes away, and forgot his cymbals so had a mad dash home and back to get them…he made it back with 10 minutes to spare, at which point we admitted the potential for a late start was averted 🤣

 

FrankenJazz -> Darkglass Anagram -> Darkglass Microtubes -> BigBaby2. Started off with the pad switched in, but it was all a bit lost so turned it off and the whole thing came alive. Had one guitarist (both the other side of the kit) look over and say I was a bit loud but from where I was it sounded fine so left it. 😁

 

Went to a blues jam this afternoon. I’ve been threatening to go for ages but never have before, however I needed to go to get tyres sorted at Kwik Fit, which gave me an excuse to sneak a bass into the car and go down after. Only the house band bass player other than me there so I got called up a few times. Took the Tokai Hard Puncher which sounded nice from a clip I’ve seen on FB. Had someone come up to ask if I was looking for a band, so I may have dropped myself in the c@rp with ‘er indoors by saying maybe 🤦‍♂️

Interesting,but was this meant for the 'How was your gig last night' thread? I only ask as there in no mention of a BF 310.😁
