That's a loose translation of a Chef description of the Baer cabs |

That was the 5th gig with this lineup and it is starting to come together (especialy considering that we don't rehearse). About half the set really works with the sparse arrangements. It does put pressure on the bass setup though - an inarticulate low pillow ain't really gonna cut it.

I'm startin' to look in this direction...  
Or 
Do I need it? Nope.
Would I like it? Yes, who wouldn't?
How well would it work with my Fender 100T and my GK 700RB-II? I dunno. Anybody....??

I use my 1001RBII with 2 ML112's regularly. It's devastatingly good.

I have a Genz Benz SMax 9.2 and I LOVE it through those cabs but I recently played a DB751 through them and it was soooo fat, thick and juicy!!!
Good luck BluesyCat...I'm sure you'll be real happy |

I can hear the difference when I run with and without the Monique. Either way the ML112 (either one or a pair) sound great, but with the tubes in the chain...awesome.

The ML212 is a great standalone cab that compares, or exceeds in volume to a really good 410, but of course, with the ML's characteristic sound. The ML115, being a single 8ohm, 115 cab, won't have the sheer volume of the ML212, but it is a pretty impressive cab in it's own right. It uses a very high X-max driver, so you can really throw a lot of volume at it without it flinching. Tonally, it has bigger lows down deep and less upper mid bite. You can however, easily EQ in those upper mids if you want them. Think of the ML212 as being more articulate and punchy, where the ML115 has a bit more laid back, vintage vibe going on.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Boston | | | I keep looking at these Baer cabs... I was hoping to like the 15" but its a bit bulky... the ML112 stack or hell the 212 looks like the way to go
I still love the idea of having dedicated mid drivers & a crossover to put the lows in the 12s. That to me is worth paying more than a GK NEO 112 for example.
The ML 115 at 52lbs & 500w doesn't make me want to "upgrade" from my GK NEO 115 at 400w & 40 lbs. Dont get me wrong... the ML115 will be a better cab & certainly eliminate the "beaming" & other physics issues with the full range cone only cab. I still think I would need 2 ML 115s.
If I'm getting 2 its the 112, one cab, the ML 212... would love to hear em in person in the Boston area

Have paired my new ML112 with the 1001RB and it works real well! I'm sure the story will be the same for the 700RB. |

I am looking to replace my svt410hlf. Just too big. Sounds great. Just want something for home that can handle that Sadowsky low B.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Palm Coast, FL | | | the ML112 can easily handle the Sadowsky low B. I've got a Modulus Q5 and my low B thunders thru my newly acquired ML112. Doesn't break a sweat and it doesn't fart out at all.
I've had other higher end 1x12s from Epifani and Bergantino that this could not be said about.
The Baer 112 is in another ballpark from a normal 1x12 when it comes to be able to handle the low B string. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
