Roscoe + Genz Benz Cab "WoW"

otto B · #1 05-01-2009, 04:03 PM

I had being looking for a Bass Cab that has a real clear sound, but it also have that old school deep bass sound. I had found it. I just got this Genz Benz UBER 212 Cab, all I have to say is WOW this cab is amazing, if you get a chance to try this cab you will be hook up on the spot. This cab produces the most beautiful and amazing sound. I run a shuttle 6.0 but I soon going to upgrade to a shuttle max12. I had played Bergantino, Ashdown, Ampeg, Epifani, Aguilar,Eden and Markbass, and none of this cabs can get that perfect sound that the UBER 212 has. (this is my opinion). you need to try this Cab. This cab is 600 Watts at 4 ohms. it's loud.

Right on, Otto... Yesterday I played through an uber 212 for the first time, and I loved it. I'm very, very selective about 12" cabs, and I honestly don't like the vast majority of 'em. This one, however, is something special. I played a number of basses through it (and a max12) and they all sounded terrific.

What cabinet and what shuttle, all I see is an amazing looking Roscoe in the picture.

Thanks for the compliment on the bass, but there is also the Genz Benz shuttle 6.0 and the Genz Benz UBER 212 :-)

+1

That is one over the top Roscoe!

I've only played through the smaller compact Genz Benz cabinets (and that was in a store).
I do really dig the sound of 12's though (of course it's still hard to beat a 410 cab if you can leave it at a gig and not have to move it around!

).

I play several 410 and they sounded good but when I play the B string at high volumes it all seems that they would lose some of the deep tones. I original was looking to get a cab with 2x15 until I played this UBER212, and let me tell you that the sound is identical as a 2x15, they handle the B string really good even when I turn up the volume. it was hard for me to get the sound that I was looking for, and after a lot of testing and looking. I can say that I had found it. All I need now is to upgrade the Amp from a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 to a Genz Benz Shuttle Max12.

Cool! I've got my first Uber 212 on the way to my store, so I haven't heard one yet. I also don't typically care for 12" speakers, so now I'm a little more excited

once you get it, you will get hook up on it.

+1 on the Shuttle 12.0 Max/Uber 212T combination. Just incredible - the right combination of thick punch, growl, warmth, and clarity. I ran my iPod through the Aux In and gave it a real workout with my Lakland 55-94D and some hard rockin' material. It just kills with fingerstyle and a 5-string. No slop in the B-string and a nice even response from low B through high G. Low notes punch and are not flabby while high notes sing and are not thin. Haven't played my Roscoe through one but I'm sure it would put a smile on my face. Good stuff!

It's a good thing there aren't any Uber's close by, or I'd be in trouble.

thanks for the pic, the Roscoe's nice fer sure, but it's a good rendering of the speaker.
