SOLD pending the usual :)

Hi Folks

Further changes in my gigging requirements means that I now have the following cab for sale at £350 plus p&p

[b]Genz Benz NX2 212-T Neo 600 watts 4ohm Cab[/b]

[attachment=205114:cab-main.jpg]

I bought this in August from Hamfist (Alan) and I hope he doesn't mind if I use a few of his excellent photos and a few quotes from his advert for the cab..

[b]Reason for selling etc.. [/b]
It is a fantastic sounding cab that sounds good with my solid state Hughes & Kettner amp, my recently acquired Ampeg valve head and also with my Tech 21 Landmark 300 head. But because I'm going to be almost exclusively using an Ampeg rig with 1x15 and 210 from now on, and I have other cabs as well (including two 1x12 cabs and an SWR Triad), I just can't envisage when I'm going to get around to using this one - hence why I'm putting it up for sale.

One of the reasons I bought it was because I heard it was pretty much bomb-proof, and that's been my take on it so far - it can handle pretty much whatever you throw at it and it sounds great for pure bass tone but also with effects, like octave pedals, auto-wah, distortion etc.. Also, I bought it because it's lightweight at 47lbs and very easy to move around.. I also like the fact that it's quite a tall cab, so you can hear yourself more easily..

[b]Photos, condition.. [/b]

The cab is in pretty much the same condition as when I bought it, having been used only a handful of time; I think I've done about 4 rehearsals with it and one gig.. So to quote Alan, it's in...

[i]"Excellent condition. Absolutely no rips or tears in the tolex. The plastic corners and the bottom have a few minor scuffs, simply not noticeable in use."[/i]

[b]Spec, reviews etc[/b]
Full spec can be found here: - [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2909&sid=725&cid=96"]http://www.genzbenz....&sid=725&cid=96[/url]

Ed 'The Bass Whisperer' Friedland's very good review of the cab is worth a look at: [url="https://youtu.be/5BrLRqcXZ5g"]https://youtu.be/5BrLRqcXZ5g[/url]

And there's some useful discussion (see quote below) on these cabs here on Talkbass: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/genz-benz-nx2-212t.929725/"]http://www.talkbass....x2-212t.929725/[/url]

[i]"..Amazing cabinet. I borrowed it from a good friend for two big gigs. I had the opportunity to use it on a rather large stage with a Streamliner 900. You wouldn't believe the volume and tone this thing has for such a small light box. The next day used the cabinet with an Ampeg SVT 3 head and it was even more amazing. The gig was outdoors with a rock band and volume wasn't an issue. Nice tight bottom end. I use a 1976 P Bass with La Bella Flat Wounds. The cabinet was able to produce a nice vintage tone. I'm also getting older and weight is a big issue for me. At 47 lbs, your back will be thanking you at the end of the night. I have luggage that weighs more than this when I go to Thailand every summer. Definitely going to pick one up soon. They're not cheap but well worth it."[/i]

[b]Shipping, trades etc[/b]
I would rather sell this but I think I could maybe be tempted by a P-style bass, so if you have something like that, try me? Worst I could do is say no.

Obviously, I'd prefer this was collected, but I'm happy to courier it if you're too far away to come and collect. But, I won't ship unless you're prepared to pay the additional £10 or so that it usually costs to insure these items up to the right value.

And if you are reasonably local and would like to come and try it out, then please PM me to arrange..

If you've any more questions, please ask away here or send me a PM.

Thanks for looking :)

Nik

Market is dreadful at the moment Nik. On the "I could be tempted by a P-Style..." let me know if the one linked below might be of interest as yours would make a lovely one cab solution for my needs, and I could then flog my Fender rumbles!
