I'm new to the whole idea of playing with a pair of 1x12's. I played the Genz Benz and was considering selling my old upright to make some money for a more portable rig. Usually I just use a single 1x15 and I like that sound.
If I had a budget of a little less then $2,000 what would you recommend?
Genz Benz. But you should specify what kind of music you play, whether weight is important, whether you like a super hi-fi sound or an old-school Motown sound or a grindy rock sound, etc. etc.
Wow - for $2000 you could score a really great versatile rig. I'm a big fan of 2 1x12s. Generally, they're portable and walk the line between having a 4x10 punch and 1x15 pillow.
I did own a pair of Ampeg 112's for awhile and they actually were loud enough but they were heavy and didn't quite have the tone I wanted. I have been through all kinds of configurations in the past few years and am seriously thinking of going back to a pair of 112 cabs for the portability more then anything. The GK Neo112's are really appealing to me or a Mesa Scout extension cab to go with my Walkabout 112 combo which is an amazing machine in every way.
