FS/ FT Schroeder BMF1012 DC Metro Area

Just got this guy a few days ago from local TB'r. In great shape, no marks that I can see.

After trying several different types of Schroeder cabs, I've come to the conclusion that they just don't do "my sound". I guess I like more of a Hifi sound rather than the cut through low mid bump thing.

I will say, this BMF sounds Waaaaaay better than any of the folded cabs Schroeder does. Way smoother and more musical imo, while still cutting through the mix like you expect a Schroeder to.

Anyway, I want $425 which is what I paid. Local pickup preferred.

Actual weight? Not the weight Jorge claims it is

lol, Dave I don't have a scale but carried it a few blocks this weekend with one hand. Comparing my Markbass 210 Traveler which is 33lb, I'd say it's maybe 10lb heavier.

Again, just eyeballing it but totally manageable.

Yeah, this puppy was mine up until Saturday.

Jorg Schroeder has it listed at 38 lbs., while I bathroom scaled it at 42lbs.

my 1210L is about what he lists too, I think it's really just the mini cabs that he gets off by up to 50% I love my 1210L, wonder what this one sounds like, I'm guessing less boomy?

Dave,

I'm lucky enough to have a buddies 1212L at my house right now to compare the two.

The 1212L is much darker sounding with big holes in the midrange to my ear, and just mushier sounding all together. The BMF is much more clearly voiced if that makes any sense.

Playing it back to back with the BMF1210, it sounds like I'm comparing a cab with no tweeter to one that does. Much different from one another. The BMF has much more upper mid character, which allows you to hear the articulation of the notes and is much faster sounding while still retaining the low end punch.

I'm a sucker for Bergantino's I guess, b/c that's what I'll be getting after I sell this. Much more cash but I always come back to em. They just scratch what itches.

Here's a pic of em together. The Mesa is not for sale and the Markbass is sold. FYI.

Thanks!

Bergantino's are IMO the best cabs ever made for bass overall, heavy though. I've been talking with Jorg for the past couple days about getting my second 15L+ cab, for the weight factor Schroeder is the best. Still miss my HT322, man that thing was a monster.

I own a couple of Bergantino HT322. I got a Schroeder 21012BMF a while ago and now my Bergs are collecting dust (I'm not selling them any time soon!).
The Schroeder sounds just as good and weights about 48 lbs, the Bergs are almost 100!!

Thanks Danny!!

Yeah, everyone has different needs and tastes. There is something out there for everyone. Honestly if I had the cash, I'd hang on to this for loud rock gigs but I can't afford to have several cabs, unfortunately.

Sick profile pic, btw!!
