I have a MB212. It's one of the best amps I've ever heard.

I hate selling gear (just sold my Dr. bass 1580 and already miss it) but I like the idea of downsizing and clearing out some space.

I got the MB112 -II a few weeks back. Traded another amp that cost a lot more for it and actually lost dollars but gained so much power and tone that it was worth the "loss"

its so frigging loud and clean for its size I almost thing the MBP will be too much for my needs

Nah! **** that...I am getting the MBP as soon as I can.

local store priced it out at $329 plus tax but I just got the MF catalog with a 15% off deal and the amp would be $297...no tax. I like to support local business but saving a few bucks is good too

Hey GK Club, can I get a number? 400RB Mark IV over here, thanks!

I am going through a major ordeal trying to receive the two GK Neo 212-II cabinets that I ordered from Musicians Friend over a month ago!! When I ordered the cabs I was told that they had them in stock even though they were on back-order!! While waiting for the back-ordered cabs they sent me one of the cabinets a little over a week ago. The problem is that the cabinet was a customer return and came in a box that looked like it fell of a moving truck!! I didn't even open it and sent it back for an exchange. This caused me to loose my place in line for the back ordered cabs so I may not even get my cabs in the next back-ordered shipment!! To top it off - I talked with a customer service team lead and he says it only shows that I now only have one cabinet on order even though I paid for two of them over a month ago. I've exchanged over twenty e-mails with the team lead trying to get things straightened out and things are still a complete mess and are no closer to getting resolved. This has caused my band to have to turn down gigs and we haven't been able to practice for a month now. I honestly don't know what to do because I want the GK Neo 212-II cabs to go with the new GK Fusion 550 that I just purchased even though they offered me to change my order to comparable cabs from a different manufacturer. I just want my Neo 212's!

Shipping woes suck man, sorry.

No friends to borrow stuff from?

**HeavyDuty** · #**706** 01-30-2013, 07:10 AM

I would cancel and buy them from a reputable dealer - like RMC Direct, who will probably be able to seriously beat MF's price besides. Sweetwater, too.

AdamR · #**707** 01-30-2013, 07:14 AM

Theres 1 new Neo 212 on ebay

Headroom is your friend! MF doesn't list the MBP on their site, did you call and ask if they had it in stock? If you can get it locally I would snatch it up.

Call Sweetwater MF and GC are always the last in line to get backordered gear, you may have to pay a couple bucks more, but at least you won't have to cancel gigs.

Definitely try RMC. Erick from RMC is a really nice guy and will try to help you get them soon even if they are on back order. Or maybe go with the 412 Neo..

scottfeldstein · #**712** 01-30-2013, 03:19 PM

Within the next 2-3 weeks it looks like I might be picking up that second cab I've been going on about. The latest plan was to try a GK Neo 115-III to sit atop my existing Neo 212-II. But, depending on used availability, I may opt for just a second 212. I'd like to have one really light cab, but GC has a used 212 for $330. Hard to beat that.

Get a matching cab 100% man, no phasing

scottfeldstein · #**714** 01-30-2013, 03:38 PM

I almost wish I could ditch the 212 and get a pair of those 15s. But then i'm not sure it would be loud enough for my loudest situation.

I'm indecisive is all. Don't know how any of y'all put up with me.

I'm sorry you said somethin'

I learned selective hearing

Oh good the wife is not around.

AdamR · #**716** 01-30-2013, 04:13 PM

Im going to pick up a second 212 this summer if I can find another series one.

IPYF · #**717** 01-30-2013, 04:17 PM

Hey, can I join the club and get a number?
That would be cool.

Seems like a weird thing to ask a thread, but hey. I'm a GK guy so why not.

Pedulla-Player · #**718** 01-30-2013, 04:20 PM

Thanks for the advice guys - I'll check into it. I just got another back-order notification that it may be another 30 days and I've already been waiting a month. I just had a friend offer to borrow me a rig to get me by. I just got Jason from GK involved in this mess to see if he can help me out any. This hassle has caused me some extreme worries and stress!! They actually told me that they had them in stock when I ordered them! What a joke!!!

What head will you be using? I'm currently using a GK NEO 1x15 and SWR S.O.B 1x15 (4 ohm total) with my 700RBII and it roars. Eventually gonna snag another NEO to take advantage of the BI-AMP.

Edit: Just noticed you were speaking of 2x12's, not 1x12's. Still, the 2x15's get plenty loud with room to spare, so I could see it working well on a large stage as monitor, projection wise.
