thebassman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Hi So, i love the sound my Mesa M6 carbine 2x12 combo creates. I thought i would have a look around for a seperate cab to run with my Bassman 135 and maybe even pass on my combo and get a seperate head Don't know whether i would get another M6 or go for something a bit more micro, maybe a bass terror or something. Anyone got any recommendations, preferably 4 ohms, i like the look of the purple chilli cabs. cheers thebassman Edited April 7, 2011 by thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Two single 12"'s..?? might be a more expensive way to buy new though.. The GB NEOX212 is rated ...if you can get past its looks. What about the Uber series.... a 212 with a twist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lucky living that close, my nearest decent shop is the bass centre in London. I have never been to bass direct, although have spoke to Mark............ he's a legend. Do they have much stock? My "local" shops only stock either practice amps or guitard gear, you have to order it in to try it out.. what a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Just give him a call and see what he has in... When I've been there he's had plenty of stuff to play with :-) [quote name='thebassman' post='1190246' date='Apr 6 2011, 10:47 AM']Thanks for the offer markstuk.

You don't see them mentioned very often. It's a bit new to me, I have always been a Mesa fan, with a bit of retro fender thrown in. I quite fancy trying out some different gear.

obbm Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'd like to suggest the Epifani UL-212. I use one with an Orange AD200B and it sounds wicked. Just about to add a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up an Aguilar GS112 a few months ago, that I just couldn't resist, but it came nowhere near the Neox212T, and has now been moved on again...

stingrayPete1977 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 My Genz-Benz 2x12t neox easily blew away a pair of purple chili 1x12's at a gig a while ago. The owner was unsure of them himself before the gig and put them forsale on the Sunday morning following the gig on the Saturday night on this very forum same head, bass and stage position etc before you ask.

thebassman Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) What choice of heads are driving these cabs? Is it mainly GB and TC heads? Edited April 7, 2011 by thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've just put in an order for a GK MB Fusion and 2 NEO212s. I was playing with them at LBGS and they really blew me away, I wasn't expecting a lot as they're designed more around weight and price (and size for the head and to a certain extent the cabs) than the artist series that is designed with no compromises for sound but I was genuinely shocked at just how good they are. For a full rig at around the £1500 price mark new, you get 2 2x12 cabs, a 2 channel valve preamp and 500w of power that weighs about 125lbs and sounds amazing.

I really really like the look of that Fusion head. I wonder how it compares to the Genz Benz Streamliner in terms of sound, the Bass Whisperer test of the GB on Youtube sounds incredible!
