Made in Italy

Do you have to screw it down to the floor to use it or something? Seems like it is too light to put up with 350W.

I guess if you put a heavy weight head on top of it that will do the trick.

Uhh.. wait look at the spec. 12.3 kg

I want a GR cab, but they are not to be found anywhere near where I live.

I also want an Italian motorcycle, they can be found where I live. But I realize it would probably kill me so I am holding back.

Do not attempt your first lane splitting lesson on the I-15 in SoCal on a Duc. Testeez where basically at my throat. I went back on a more manageable Enfeld but it was still scary and that was on a Sunday morning. How it is done on Monday rush hour traffic baffles me

I've previously had the Markbass 2x10 combo which was great and regret selling it. Next I had the Markbass 1x12 combo + 1x12 extension cabinet for a more modular system, which was also great. Then I paired a GR Bass AT 212 Slim with a Quilter BB-800 which was extremely light, powerful and very clear. My latest Italian
rigs are two custom made GR Bass AT 212 Slim combos which have a much warmer tone and are still very light and powerful. Now I can easily hand carry everything to the gig, and with my Saramonic wireless system I can set up and tear down in less than a minute.

I think it's Canadian dollars. [This invalid link has been removed]

$1,499.00 CAD = $1,132 USD

Still a bit pricey, but it's a really high end cab. A Mesa Subway 1x12 costs $999 USD, so the GR Bass is approx 10% more expensive than the Mesa equivalent. And it's half the weight.

I just got a GR BASS 112 350W bass cab and it only weighs less than 13 lbs! Distributed by club bass in Ontario and cost is 1499.00. It’s worth it! Clear authentic and punchy sound! Made in Italy

I don't know for the 1x12 but I have the 2x10
I sounds great, with impressive low end but not boomy at all, and a very transparent sound that lets you hear exactly the sound of your instrument, and it is super efficient and loud, so I think I will never need a second cab.
And off course super light (7 Kg - 15,4 lbs)

Yes, viva Italia. I think Italy is the most innovative country for bass amplification right now. Not only Markbass and GR Bass, but check also Jad Freer…

GR Bass is currently working on their distribution network in the US right now, hopefully things should eventually improve. In the meantime, you can find some cabs on this canadian website. The 210V they have for example is really great.

Ok since the name of the thread is "Made in Italy", here's my Jad Freer Sisma amp + my GR Bass Natural Fiber 210V. It's a pretty expensive but killer association. The "Natural Fiber" range is new, the products are not even yet added to their website, I'm probably one of the first customers to actually get one. I guess the product range is going to have the same specs as the regular carbon fiber products, with a different finish (it looks gorgeous).

I'm not sure if the weight of this cab is exactly the same as the normal carbon fiber 210V, it could be slightly heavier, but not much.

I'm also going to order Jad Freer Capo soon.
