[quote name='blisters on my fingers' timestamp='1470428956' post='3106004'] Hi Karl The label on rear of the driver is a "proper" Genz Benz logo, and states Model : GEC-12200-8 Impedance 8 ohms Engineered and tested in the USA Manufactured by Eminence Dongguan, P.R.C. Great lightweight quality cabs, very pleased with mine. Like you say will keep up with a very loud drummer [/quote] Damn Andy, you're good Many thanks for that, cheers, Karl.

On hold until Sun eve thanks.

I've not used the Ashdowns I'm afraid. No idea what the speakers are, except they are ceramic. Not much use am I . There are quite a few testimonials from users on the Bass Direct site. The 112T's were showing at a price of £339 each, so yes, budget for Genz Benz at the time. But for the scuffs and nicks I would have been asking north of £300 for them. They do not come up very often at all. There is the script below (I've culled some of the talk about heads). Quote. "We’d been asking for less expensive cabinets and combos for the European market for some time, and Genz Benz dutifully obliged at this years NAMM. Such was the success of the new ‘FOCUS’ cabinets, Bass Gear Magazine awarded them a ‘Best in Show’ award, one of only 6 awards that they give out at the show. Here is what they [BGM] had to say on their forum: While I was there, however, I did hear both of the 112's together as well as the new Focus cab line. Very impressive. I predict the Focus cab line will be a huge seller. Even though they're not NEO, they're still very light and can really take the juice and pump out the sound. What really blew me away were the Focus cabs. They sounded like they belonged in a much higher price range, and the light weight and form factor was very nice. We ended up giving Genz-Benz one of our six Best of Show Awards for the Focus line of cabs, and I think they totally deserved it." End quote.

Hmm surprisingly only two messages regarding these splendid, light weight, powerful well made cabs. They are replied to. Over to you ED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urvdCExs2kI

[quote name='Bassman666' timestamp='1470336677' post='3105302'] Is that a flea sig jazz? Took delivery of mine today,very nice indeed! Have a off topic bump [/quote] Thank you, enjoy yours [quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1470337370' post='3105310'] I'm sure I used a focus 2x10 for a while a year or two back. Really good for the money I think. These look to be a bit of a bargantino and not at all tatty! [/quote] Thanks Andy, sorry, I'm always a little critical of condition of my gear. Only going because a new project demands something vintage looking (as in cloth fronted). Suppose a Barefaced will suffice

Cheers Martyn, that's 4 telling me it's a £900 + new REX. The [s]song[/s] price remains the same

Thanks chaps. Damon, thanks for that. I've advertised it elsewhere and a nice chap has put a message up that it is in fact a REX and they are over £900. Apparently this has the slightly different shape and pick ups , of a REX. I DON'T KNOW, but I've put a post up asking for expert advice, in the GEAR section. Whatever happens, the price will not be going up, even if it is the more expensive REX. Damon, you know where I am EDIT, another guy has just chipped in, quote "that's a REX signature dude"

Hello Wan. Where are you based please? Are you willing to courier? Assuming [s]cheeky-[/s] Musashimonkey hasn't already paid you

Thank 'e kind sir. I'm on a fund raising mission , watch this space.

Just taken this as part trade. I'm hoping when this is gone, I'm finished. Aye, right . Approx 2007, good condition but lots of light buckle rash on the back, couple of dints here and there. It's a well gigged bass. Not cosmetically mint be any means, BUT, that Holoflash does some cool? things I've done a quick set up and changed the strings. VERY easy bass to work on. Very well made Korean bass, neck thru construction. IMO a decent bass for this sort of price. They seem to be around £650 new in the UK, but not the easiest bass to find. Weight 9lb 4oz. I'm not getting any neck dive, but I do use very wide straps. SPEC. Maple body construction, Holoflash finish. Spector TonePump Jr. active tone controls and EMG Pickups. 3-piece maple neck through construction Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets 34" scale length 16" radius. Pearl dot neck inlay. Spector die cast bridge, 2 volume controls, 9-volt active - bass and treble Bridge pickup: EMG SSD Neck pickups: EMG SSD Pickup type: passive - dual coil Legend 4X Classic Electric Bass Guitar Width at nut: 1.56" String spacing at bridge: 0.70" Truss hex key size: 4mm Bridge hex key size: 2mm Comes with a fair conditioned Stagg gigbag. Any trial in Wigan. £325 collected from Wigan please, or £350 by insured courier BUT UK only I'm afraid. TRADES....................... I have some loot floating about, that somebody might like to take with the bass . Particularly looking at Barefaced or a 50's style Fender Precision. Feedback linked below, many thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.
