SOLD: Genz Benz 1288T cab with new Roqsolid - £300/offers £350 Sevenoaks, Kent

[Soledad]

Sadly, this really must go - I need the space at home. IT really is a fabulous cab, stunning build, components and a brand new cover.
Here's my original blurb and the spec:

Pristine condition and light use only. New Roqsolid cover, unmarked. I gigged this about 4 times before lockdown, and since then have been moving more acoustic, lower levels so my PJB cab is ideal for that.

The 1288 features Emminence Neos: one 12" with front porting, 2 x 8" in a dedicated sub-enclosure so the back pressure of the 12 doesn't affect the 8s. Plus an HF horn with attenuation (continuous rotary). Four hefty castors.  Weight 24Kg, 600W / 8 Ohm. Specs taken from Bass Direct below. Note weight on spec below is shipping weight - gigging weight is 24Kg.

I'm a GB fan, fabulous build and a really great sound right across the range. I'd describe the sound as precise, transparent, accurate, true, dynamic... words like that.
Ran this with my GB 900 Streamliner - a sublime rig.

GB 1288T UQ - List £1150

"The UBER QUAD"- named after it's unique, four speaker design. This compact, "multi-driver" cabinet features 4 separate drivers of varying sizes, which produce an incredible 3 dimensional tone. 

 

This multi-driver cabinet is excellent for bassists using "extended range" 6 and 7 string instruments. It has a signature tone however, that is ideal for any bassist looking to add a new element of depth, warmth and clarity to their tone. The all important mid range is handled by the dual 8" Neodymium speakers in separate, sealed internal enclosures providing thick, tight, warm mids without "honk" or harshness. These separate chambers are extremely compact which enhances the response and tight suspension of the driver's mechanical performance. 

 

This 600 watt 8 ohm cabinet sounds great on its own but can be an impressive stack when using 2 UBER QUADS or when stacked with our new GB 115T-UB.

 

As part of the UBER BASS series the cabinet features our distinctive "nubby" vinyl along with our classic grille and silver piping, Edge-Lift handles, Speakon® and 1/4" inputs, 100 Watt Tweeter Level control and crossover design based on a combination of electronic and electro-acoustic principals. This yields a combination of crossover slopes that result in smooth multi- dimensional composite acoustic response.

Can't get a sniff on this really fab cab - Emminence drivers, beautiful build and really outstanding sound. So what's the score - too big or heavy? I've shifted it in a Fiat 500 before now. Then I look on 'Show us your rig' - clearly most rigs are bigger and heavier than this, not everyone is going 110 Barefaced or IEM !
Kind of stopped caring, it's far too good to give away. Any insights welcome.

I've not had much luck selling my DR Neo cab. Not being able to ship being the biggest obstacle and there's just not the market that there used to be. 

When I first saw these cabs listed on BD's site I though to myself THATS the cab I want but way over my budget. Genz cabs are my favourite. Iv'e owned the 2x12 NeoX, Focus cabs and an old 6x10, all of which were superb. My poor old back is my biggest problem and this would be just too heavy I fear, although 26kg is not a crazy weight. Anybody in the South East looking for a new cab really wants to check this out.

It's fabulous but unfortunately we live to far apart.

24Kg if I may say! Every kilo counts.
Dropped the price now - never cried before when I sold a cab, but there's always a first time.

Sold.
