I just dumped my GK SBXII+ 4x10 cab out of the back of my pickup on the way to practice. F!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tailgate failure.
Please give me your advice. I run a 1001RBII amp w/ a fender p-bass. I want to take advange of the bi-amp capabilities of the RBII head, and I really enjoy the wet plunky full range of the Speakon 4 conductor cable.
Dudes!!! Help. I'll dish out for the sound, but want your advise on a new better cab!  |

really, it's going to be tough to find any other cab that uses the biamp feature like the gk. as a matter of fact, i don't know of any besides gk.

But to the OP, only GK cabs will have the bi-amp feature. If you just want a rock solid 4x10 i'd say Bergantino

sorry trev, but i totally don't believe that any cab could take falling out of a moving vehicle at 60 mph. i demand that you go try it right now and videotape it.

That Neo212-II is a phenomenal cab, and IME/IMHO, it can compete with (or even surpass) cabs that both cost and weigh a lot more.   |

sorry trev, but i totally don't believe that any cab could take falling out of a moving vehicle at 60 mph. i demand that you go try it right now and videotape it. | Bag End's website, in the "satisfied customers" section, has a story about a band whose back van doors flew open, with everything spilling out, including the bassist's two BE cabs. pretty much everything got destroyed except those cabs. and there were pictures too! granted, the cabs were scratched and beaten, but still working.
and i know mine is solid because i schlep it hard, and it hasn't whined once.
no, i'm not gunna test the "60mph" theory, sorry.
All i'm saying is that i heartily believe that Bag End makes the sturdiest cabs in the business, and they'll take more abuse than any other brand.
(i'll try and find those pics of the roadrashed cabs, btw)
