tks.se Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 These five cabinets have been made for Bass Gear: Two 1126 cabinets (one with tweeter). Beige/brown grille cloth. Two S112 cabinets (vertical, one with tweeter). Black/white "snakeskin" vinyl. One S212 cabinet with tweeter. Standard black vinyl and metal grille. Hoping they will arrive during next week. Bass Gear will try to hold these as a demo stock, so you should be able to go there and try them out as soon as they arrive. [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/"]http://www.bassgear.co.uk/[/url] Quote
molan Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It is entirely possible that I may fall in love with those snakeskin babies. . . Quote
JTUK Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Let me know when they are in... and will look to pop up. Quote
tks.se Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 Looks like they will arrive on Wednesday next week (22nd), so next weekend would perhaps be a good time to pay Bass Gear a visit. Maybe molan could confirm when they are in, unpacked and ready for testing? Quote

Stylon Pilson Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, here I've been complaining about the lack of decent bass shops in my area, and it turns out that there's one within a 15 minute drive of my house. Hmmm, looks like I might be transferring some money out of my savings soon. S.P. Quote

charic Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm wondering how 2 x S212 would compare to my Berg NV610.... Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Oh FFS... the last thing I need is cab GAS.. good thing they aren't green like these or I'd be in trouble. Quote

[/quote] We had a top pro player in today checking out the TKS cabs at some serious volume - literally making the roof shake so little bits of dust were being dislodged from the ceiling tiles. The 'official' vote was that they were definitely able to handle serious gig levels Quote

[/quote] A pair of cabs in British Racing Green with creme colour front frame would definitely be the thing... My favourite variation on the theme is black cabinet, creme front frame and 50*s Fender grille cloth. I've ordered a pair of the new compact 115's in that colour, just like my 2126 cabs...

Lozz196 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Really liking the look of the S212. Anyone voice an opinion on how "neutral" sounding these cabs are? Quote

Anyone voice an opinion on how "neutral" sounding these cabs are? [/quote]What is neutral? They sound very, very good with four string basses. They sound very good but not that deep with five string basses. It is a matter of needs and taste, really. If you are a "sub bass player" better look at the deeper models. For four string playing they are all you need at a good price and low weight. This is no "bang for the buck" thing - it is a real bang... Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 What I mean is no real bumps or troughs in the eq, fairly flat response roughly like a PA speaker. From your description above they seem to fit that bill nicely for my needs as a 4-string player. Quote
bassmayhem Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Compard to my previous cabs, a quadruple of Eden D112XLT's, the TKS cabs are very flat. The Eden cabs are HONKY in comparison... Quote
