Help me pick between 3 212's!

Sign in to disble this ad
I've just bought a GK 1001RB-II off a fellow TB'er but I'm still without a cab (building my budget gigging rig bit by bit). I've narrowed my choices down to 3 different 212s:

GK 212MBE - $400
GK Neo 212-II - $549
Avatar B212 NEO - around $500

On the MBE, its price and easy weight beat out the other two by a long shot. The 212-II I've heard from many folks on here is constructed much better and has a stronger low-end (plus the option of bi-amping). And of course, the B212 has been raved about by tons of folks, though unfortunately it's impossible for me to try one out before buying. I play in a 3-instrument (single guitar, bass, loud drummer) rock band and want something that can handle serious lows while maintaining recognizable tone/presence, and preferably something I won't have to worry about quality-wise.

To those that have tried any of these three (with the 1001RB-II or otherwise), I'd appreciate any input as I'm on a mega-tight budget and wanna get the most bang for my buck.

The GK Neo 212-II is a no-brainer. Better quality than the MBE, with bi-amp capability than neither the MBE nor the Avatar can offer. And it's sounds great.

Just get one...
