Barefaced have built up an enviable reputation for their bass cabs over the last 13 years, particularly among a new generation of younger, tech-savvy players. This success has largely been driven by the many positive reviews, and comments from the owners and players themselves, via online forums and social media platforms.

Looks can be deceiving, of course, and at first glance this tiny One10T cab looks as if it could have been made at any time within the last 60 years. The black tolex covering, chrome hardware and black cloth grille with its white piping have a classic aesthetic; silver cloth and black steel grilles are also available. The new logo badge, which looks almost comically outsized on such a small cab, has the Barefaced name in a similar font to that of the old Fender Bassman amp heads, reinforcing the vintage vibe. However, under its vinyl skin, the Barefaced cab is anything but old-fashioned.
