1x12 Recommendations

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi Folks, newly registered here, but I have been lurking for quite a while. I'm a new player and I don't have a "style" yet, I guess.

I'm in the market for a fairly low-priced 1x12 to use as a practice cab and extension cab. Something that I can leave in the trunk (something that fits in the trunk). I am currently practicing with a Backline 115 and I like the sound of it but it's huge and I don't like that I can only put it in my back seat. I'd rather not put money into another combo, so I'm looking at a single 12 cab and picking up a separate head.

I'd like to get a cab that will sound good with GK amps as I think I'll be getting more of their gear in the future and I also may want to hang it off the back of my 115 from time to time.

I am considering the Mojotone loaded 112 (nice that I can also support an NC business), but I don't know how they will sound with GK style. Anyone every played these with a GK amp or have any opinions on them overall? Any other suggestions new or used in the sub-$300 range?

Any help would be appreciated!

Used GK Neo-112 Series I or II, either are great! Tom Bowlus here often compares them to a much lower cost 112 that replicates the tone of higher end production line 112s (think EA, Bergantino).

Hi - Thanks for the quick replies. I'll look into these cabs and keep an eye out on the used market. I have some time as I have a working setup, just not an exceptionally convenient one.

Any other suggestions or opinions on the Mojotone cab are appreciated!

+1 Yup. With a GK head, they'd be a no-brainer.

Genz Benz STL-12t. showing up used here and there. aren't mojo's guitar speakers? if so, bad idea. search "guitar speaker for bass" or similar, you'll find out why. if the one you're looking at is a bass speaker, then...nevermind. i'd say if you like the gk amps, then ya the gk cab is perfect.

Hi, sorry, I didn't get back to your post basscooker. Mojotone sells bass cabs also, they sell a "loaded" 112 for about $250. Anyways, I pulled the trigger on a GK Neo-112 II this week along with an MB200 to make weekly practice sessions a little lighter. A second Neo cab will probably be on the list later on.

Thanks for all the replies!
