I had one, and it was a sweet sounding cab. In fact, the only reason I sold it was my Mesa head did not fit on the small shelf area on top. Just under 100lbs and the nice push bar made it easy to load and move, had a really good tone. If the mesa had fit, I would still own it.

Neo 412

I have one and it's one of the best pieces of gear I own. It moves a ton of, has almost too much lowend, and it's super light. You've made a good choice.

Where did you order an 800rb? They've been discontinued.

First bought my NEO412 when I only played the 800RB, worked awesome. Have the Fusion 550 now and it will crush anything in it's path.
What did you want to know?

My 2x12" and 1x12" were superb, never lacked anything. I find it hard to believe the 4x12" wouldn't be at least as good if not better.

Depending on what kind of tone your after you may be better off with the 700RB. The 1001RB is loud and will be harder to get that GK grit out of at lower volumes. I run an 800RB through a Neo 212 and would like to add another cab to my rig. I also plan on picking up a 700RB at some point which will let me take advantage of the bi-amp feature.

The 412 is the most balanced cab I have played, highs, high mids, low mids and lows are easy to control and dial in. From dark to bright it is all there easily. It is also a surprise how well that cab projects out front.

Yea i didn't see the 700rb when i was looking earlier. That may be easier im liking that price a little more then the 1001rb and i wad thinking the 1001 would be just a little to much.
