GK MB Fusion 500, cab options?

[Mylkinut]

Through various wranglings I've got the opportunity to get a good deal on new GK stuff, and the MB Fusion 500 seems like a great option. My band's recently morphed into a covers act, so versatility and portability are king, but is there anything else I should consider?

Also, are there any particularly good cab pairings for it? Again, weight and portability are an issue, so I was thinking of a pair of 1x12s. Secondhand options from TKS, Barefaced and Aguilar are all on my radar, but does anyone have any experience with the GK Neo 112 ii? They seem popular over on TB, but it's mostly because I can currently get them cheap!

I don't have the opportunity to try before I buy, but I'll have a 30-day money back guarantee. I'd really rather try and get it right first time though.

Any help would be appreciated - an amp upgrade is long overdue!

I've gigged my Fusion with Markbass, Shroeder and Barefaced, worked brilliantly with them all.

Yep, I had a Fusion for a while, and gigged a couple of different cabs with it, and it was very cab-neutral, if that makes sense...

No experience with GK Neo cabs, but I use my MB Fusion through a Barefaced Big Twin 2, and its monstrous!

Do you just use the single BB2? How is it for volume?

It's the Big Twin 2 that I use, 2x12. More than enough volume for my needs!!

That looks great, am glad I`ve decided to go for a Big Twin 2 as well.

Whoops, misread! That does look fantastic, would have to be a second-hand option given my budget though!
