gsgbass Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I added a second BC212 cab to the setup. The 2X212's sound great with the Fenders I'm playing through them. Edited September 2, 2014 by gsgbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I love my BC212s. Having them horizontal makes them MUCH bassier though. You might find a better mix if you stack them vertically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgbass Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I really like the sounds from the Eminence speakers used in the TC Electronic cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a day or two with the BC212, I decided to go with the second cab. The 212's are 8 ohms, the two brought back the setup down to the 4 ohms the 410 had. Sound wise, the 412's sound as good, or better than I anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 4x12 certainly will be louder then the 4x10 and size wise not much different on the TC BC cabs. The good thing about this is you can always use a single 2x12 for smaller gigs and use both on bigger ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also add another BC 8 ohm cab to the stack if I ever wanted to also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I say add another 2x12 to make it 6x12. Louder then 8x10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I really don't need any more volume. It's cool though being back using 12's again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I desperately want to buy, borrow or steal a third BC212 just for the fun of being able to run a 6x12 rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 That would be impressive to do 3X212's. A little boom to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is a shame I have to part way the BC212 i use to own. I own 2 and sold both at the end due to lack of space and financial problem. Due to financial problem I gone a step backward and use old trace elliot stuff. Wish i still got the two BC212 cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If I have the money the RS stacks will be my ideal solution. It keeps me happy and my wife happy since it won't take alot of space and it looks cool. She is complaining about my Trace rig at the moment saying how ugly it is ..... (wears and tears). I told her I sold all my good stuff which looks nice for something decent but cheap ....... she looked at me and felt guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been toying with the idea of replacing my Ampeg 410 with one BC212. The Ampeg is 4ohm and to be honest I don't really need the amount of volume it can chuck out. I'm just wondering if the 212 would be enough though as I'd only be putting 180w through it max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like having the fuller sound of the two BC212 cabs, even at low volumes they have a nice full rich 4X12's sound. Use one, or both, they sound great. I like it better than lugging one 4X12 cab around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
