| | | | Lightweight cab companion for Genz Benz shuttle 6?
Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,
I'm looking to pick up a Genz Benz Shuttle 6 amp sometime soon and I'm looking for a cab that's strong enough to match it whilst being as portable as possible. I'm thinking a situation when I can just whack the GB in my gig bag and a good cab on my trolley and go gig. I was looking at the more portable Mark Bass cabs but reviews seem to be underwhelming...any advice?

| | | | either
The Avatar TB153 or the GK NEO 212 are good choices for around 500 to 600 bucks. If you have more than that there are other choices. |

Then you have amp and cab in one unit that weighs 36 pounds total. The G-B 12T is a very good speaker and an ideal match to the Shuttle 6.0. I know - I have that combo.

I know a GB12T could get me through maybe 80% of my gigs, but in the big rooms it's gotta be the 2x12. |

|  | I'm gonna love and tolerate the **** out of you! | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Memphis/Knoxville TN | | Then why not the Genz Benz Neox212T. It's only the best 2x12 on the market
But seriously, I use that cab with my SVT and LMIII and it sounds huge. It's punchy, defined, and it can get seriously loud. And at 50lbs and with its own built in casters what's not to love? |

And the largest venue you expect to use the cab at?
PA support?
Is a "trolley" the same as "dolly" (US)?

If you have some woodworking skills, you can make an even better cab for a good deal less: fEARful™ enclosures for bass/drums/keys

Just saying.. .. The AE is a real easy shlep, discontinued tho 
GK212 NEO?

Tilt back design. I run the Shuttle 6 with this cab and I love it. The cab does have a fairly large footprint for a vertical 212 (which is part of why it sounds so good), so if you frequently play small stages you might want to go with a 210. |
