tobiewharton Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Looking for a 2x12. MUST BE: Transparent, featherweight, 4ohm, vertically aligned. The less spendy the better, but not looking to scrimp either. Fire away! Quote
Lozz196 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 The description says Barefaced Big Twin II to me. Not cheap but if I had to describe one Transparent, featherweight, 4ohm, vertically aligned would be pretty much exactly how I`d do so. 1 1 Quote
ebenezer Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 I have the genzbenz nx2 212, great cab, only 47lbs, loaded with faital pro 12 pr 300 drivers and compression horn 4 ohm and vertically aligned!.....oh and built-in wheels.......there is one for sale at the moment at £300 think 1 1 Quote
Osiris Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 There's a similar thread here that has some useful suggestions. Some of them possibly over budget though, but worth a look all the same 1 Quote
stevie Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 The cab that won the Essex cab shootout was a Bergantino with two Faital Pro PR300 drivers in it. Same as the Genz nxt Ebeneezer mentioned. So I'd expect it to sound very similar. £300 is a good deal. At the bash the votes (out of 25 in total) were: Bergantino CN212 - 9 Schroeder 212 - 8 EAD 2x12 - 5 (no longer manufactured) EBS Neo 212 - 2 Barefaced Super12T - 1 2 1 Quote
Lozz196 Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 It was similar in the SE Bash, Stevie, Berg CN212 won by a mile. 1 Quote
tobiewharton Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 I was only looking for opinions, but quite tempted anyway. Quote
tobiewharton Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 Cheers for the input all - the BC machine never disappoints! Quote

The less spendy the better, but not looking to scrimp either. For vertically aligned, Barefaced, Bergantino and Genzler. All top quality cabs that should do any job asked of them. I'd also suggest looking at 2 112's. Initially more expensive but, depending on your requirements, maybe a lot more flexible. Keep an eye on the Classifieds. 1 Quote

I use 112s at the moment, but looking for a 212. Cheers, Tobie Quote
AREA Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I ordered myself a FMC 212H UL (UL for Ultralight) see the Picture. Its the Cab in the Middle. 2x12 Neo Driver by SICA or Faital, fully adjustable HF Driver, 600W at 4 or 8 Ohm, 102db @1W/1m, 17,8 Kg, with Downfire Pricipe, what means the Reflex Port is in the Bottom of the Cab. Will be fired with my Mesa D800. My Cab will be ready Mid of Sept, as Hans from FMC is on Holiday right now. Pic is also done by Hans and shows 210H UL, 212H UL and 215H UL Edited August 19, 2018 by AREA 1 1 Quote

Likewise, I'd love one if they were, to run one with one of my 112s - think that would be pretty glorious! 1 Quote
BigRedX Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 There are no transparent sounding bass guitar cabs. 2 1 Quote
MacDaddy Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 my old set up. I still have the bottom cab, which is a 2x12 but the speakers are 'wrapped'. If you want them vertical just tilt the cab 1 Quote
Musicman20 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I still think the Genz Benz 2x12 is the best vertical neo 2x12 when you consider the price and weight. 2 1 Quote
stevie Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I prefer a good 15 myself, although they no longer seem to be fashionable. If you're looking to save weight, choosing a driver that's too small to do the job and then using two of them makes no sense at all. Not helpful, I know, but I just wanted to get that off my chest. Lightweight 4x10s? Don't be silly! 😛 1 Quote
