niceguyhomer Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) My band's DIing now since we've upgraded our PA. Last night at the lesbian wedding, I used my new EBS Microbass into the desk and it was a great success so I really don't need this rig anymore and want to sell to fund a good quality light 'n loud combo for stage monitoring. The head is just over one year old, the 2x12 is about 4 months old and the 1x12 is about a month old - all bought brand new. There are a couple of extremely minor marks here and there but it's in as good a nick as anything you'll see masquerading as new in some stores. This is a very loud rig - the 1001RBII head is 700 watts + another 50 for the horn system, the 212 is 600 watts (8 ohm) and the 112 is 300 watts (8 ohm), it's also very light. It also sounds fantastic - clean and punchy or warm and growly if you dial in some boost. I realise I've got two chances of selling the whole thing as one - ie; Bob Hope and no hope but if I have to sell separately, I will but please be aware, I won't let anything go until I'm in the ball park money-wise for my new combo but I'll hold items for interested parties. I'm in a busy band and need something to gig with. Prices: Head - £350 (paid £539 new) 212 neo - £350 (paid £524) 112 neo - £250 (paid £309) SKB rack case - £40 (paid £85) Korg Tuner DTR 1000 - £75 (paid £130) Buy the lot and you can have it for £950 delivered / meet halfway. Will consider trades for suitable equipment. More pics on request. Bit of missing chrome as delivered from the store...

Sean Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) It looks like the kind of rig that the bass player in the house band on the Imperial Death Star would use! Wouldn't be without my GK, fab stuff. Edited November 11, 2007 by Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguyhomer Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Using both cabs together, you get a moderate increase in volume because the head's running at 4 ohms plus the additional 12" of air being moved. The 112 adds mids and clarity to the deeper sounding 212 which makes the rig much easier to hear on stage - not least because of the fact you have a speaker closer to your ear. I would say it works ok for some situations but in some rooms I've got a better sound using the 212 on its own - presumably because it's getting all of the juice from the head. That said, I've yet to encounter a room yet where the 212 can't cope on it's own. Edited November 11, 2007 by niceguyhomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 These are great cabs IMO. I use the 212 and 112 setup with a Little Mark 2 and its fantastic. Someone is going to get a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussFM Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'd love to add the 112 to my 1001 & 212, but just can't afford it at the moment. But like you say, ever played a venue the 212 couldn't cope with, just looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty fresh death Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Have you had any offers on the cabs yet? I'll still take the head/rack case/tuner for the asking prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguyhomer Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've withdrawn this because it does the job very well and even if I got what I was asking for in these utterly depressing times, I'd still lose a wad. Probably be retiring soon anyway so bollox to it. Thanks and apologies to the people who showed interest and made offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly how you feel and the gig situation is pretty depressing sometimes. I seem to be carrying one band and the other is like yours, "No New Numbers, Rehearsing is a Joke and lack of organisation/comms". Trouble is since managing to take early retirement, without something band related to get wound up about, don't know who the hell would get the fall-out. Probably end up riding shotgun with MRs BB when she goes shopping for shoes. I am probably getting out of one of the outfits, but have something else on the boil which could be realy good. Change of faces and musical tastes can work wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 We'll see and believe me, the decision won't be taken lightly but after nearly four decades of gigging, it's starting to wear a bit thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
