I think that's the main win from all this - that you've got them to sort your issue out and also finally make it clear for future purchasers.

 

I like BF as well (I have a Super 12, Midget, Two10 and 2x One10s) but you're right - stuff goes wrong and it's all about how it's sorted out. My S12 had a buzz/rattle on one of the speakers, and the Two10 had a chrome corner missing - both issues were remedied with no fuss.

 

Unfortunately, my lasting experience of dealing with stuff going wrong wasn't as positive with my two cabs, a shame, as I've owned half a dozen in the past, but not likely again.

 

Still, this is better, and I daresay this thread may also have assisted in the response.

Yeah, that is a shame - sorry to hear they didn't get things sorted out to your satisfaction. That variability in experience is precisely why I shy away from giving any company too glowing a personal recommendation, though; I might consider that a company did alright by me, but in this case I was the one willing to accept a back-to-front cab as long as they confirmed that the ports (I know they aren't, but I forget the proper name..) firing in different directions was no sonic detriment, so maybe I'm a bad yard-stick to measure by. Thinking back, Alex's first reaction was along the lines of 'that actually looks pretty cool with the badges on either side', and I can see how some might not have been fully on-board with that as a customer service response.

 

I'm used to my wonky stack now, and in fact when I put them in their road trunk for storage at the studio the fact that they can go in face-to-face to protect the grille cloth but still have the handles/feet facing the same way seems 'right' to me, so I'll mark myself out of any swapping and changing activities as there are many others like them.. but these ones are mine.

Isaac at Barefaced sent me a courier returns label yesterday, and the cab has been collected today by DPD.

 

I have my fingers crossed for a swift turnaround, but I'll keep you posted.

Is that two different types of Tolex as well?

Yeah they changed the tolex after all those many peeling cabs!

Odd that I was repeatedly told it was the glue 😉

IIRC it was a combination of both in the end!

Yeah, fortunately neither are peeling yet, and I think given the lack of any kind of heating, cooling or humidity control in the gear store where their trunk is parked, if it was going to happen I'd have maybe seen the signs by now.
