    Cab weight

    Yes they are! I have a pair of them and a ULV210 which only weighs 25 pounds. For my needs they are the ideal intersection of great sound, sturdy construction, quality, and portability. The small footprint makes them perfect for small stages, and they are backed by top tier customer service...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    I played a gig last Saturday night at an indoor restaurant with my MG800+ through my ULV-210T. The stage is hollow wood and ripe for boom. I used a Gramma pad and set the HPF at about 10 o'clock, and the rig performed admirably. A member of the audience came up to me after the gig. He said he is...

    Genzler ULV 212 Cab

    I've been gigging with either a pair of ULV 112s, a ULV 112/210 combo, or a single ULV 210, driven by the MG800+. I've been choosing the single ULV 210 lately since it sounds great, is light weight, covers my needs, and is a single cab solution. I'm curious about the ULV 212 but I'm pretty sure...

    Just a heads up...GC/MF has offered the R25 and R500 in ivory, and I saw on GC's web site that they now offer the R100 in ivory, and they're on sale. I have the R25 in ivory; they're sharp-looking combos...

    I used the MG800+ into the ULV210 Friday and Saturday evenings in two different outdoor restaurants with no PA support. This cabinet is very capable. I used Contour A at about 9 o'clock for a bit of beef (the cab has plenty of beef on its own, but I wanted a little more since we were outdoors)...

    Never-ending Journey…Replacing my SVT + 810 and Streamliner 900 + 410 Uber — help me find the best lightweight rig for reggae and ska

    I would choose the Genzler MG800+ (or maybe the Kinetix) with a pair of BA115 cabs. This rig would be thunderous and versatile.

    The overwhelming task of picking the right rig...

    You're definitely on the right track with Genzler. The Kinetix fits the bill for what you're looking for, but the MG800 can also do the job. The MG800 native voicing is thick and clear, but you can get a great vintage vibe by adding harmonics with the drive channel and using Contour "B". Of...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    Hi Erik, I used one or a pair of MG112T-V's for a number of years. I now have a pair of ULV-112T's (and a ULV-210T) that I've used on 5 or 6 gigs so far. I did not have them at the same time, so I couldn't do a direct comparison, but I would say the MG112T-V and ULV112-T are very similar in tone...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    Hi Rich, Perhaps you could describe the type of sound you're looking for. For example, if you're looking for a clear, pristine sound to let the sound of your Alembics shine, I'd recommend the MG800+ and the Bass Array cabs (of course this rig can also do many other sounds as well). I'll be...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    I had a chance this past Sunday to try out the standalone ULV210, powered by my MG800+. The venue was a smallish restaurant/bar with about 50 to 75 folks in attendance. Guitars, electronic drums and vocals went through the PA, and my Genzler rig carried the room in spades, with plenty of...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    I had the opportunity to use my new Genzler rig at an outdoor area BBQ restaurant located at a marina on the Mississippi River. I used a passive Fender Jazz bass into the MG800+ with a ULV210 and ULV112. The two guitars, electronic drums, and the vocals go through the PA but I do not, so the...

    Please share your cabinet pairings with your Mesa/Boogie Subway D-800+ ???

    If you want light weight, great sound, excellent quality, and stellar customer service try the new Genzler ULV (Ultra Light Vertical) cabs. The 112 is 19.5 pounds and the 210 is 25 pounds. The vertical orientation gets the sound closer to your ears, and the small footprint is great for small...

    The cover for my ULV-210T has arrived so I'll be taking it out for the first time tomorrow afternoon. The venue is a large outdoor covered area of a BBQ restaurant. At this point I'm thinking of using the MG800+ into the ULV210 and one ULV112, with the 210 on top. Looking forward to it, and I'll...

    New Genzler Rig!

    Interesting that you mentioned this. I have used both the BA10/BA12 combination and the BA10/MG12T-V combination. I believe that the ULV112 and MG12T-V are very similar, so I think the comparison is valid. I started using the BA10/MG12T-V when I joined a 5-piece band that often squeezed onto...

    New Genzler Rig!

    Sure thing. If the cover for the 210 arrives by the weekend, I'll be using it for a Saturday afternoon gig. The 210 feels almost as light as the 112, which is already crazy light.

    P bass. Alder vs ash

    I'm not sure how or if chambered and non-chambered ash bodies sound different. I hear you on the weight issue, but I will say I have a pair of Mod Shop Jazz Basses with the chambered ash bodies, and both are in the mid-seven pound range.

    New Genzler Rig!

    I recently acquired some new Genzler gear, and I wanted to share with the TalkBass community. I have an MG800+, MG350, two ULV112T's, and a ULV210T, all pictured below, as well as factory padded covers and carry bags for everything. I have to say, for my needs (and I'm sure many others), Jeff...

    Pino palladino custom shop Precision pickups NOT HANDWOUND??!

    Sadly, this will become a thread of hatred. Where do you see hand-wound pickup stated? On the Fender Custom Shop web site, I only see custom-wound, meaning a certain custom wind unique to this particular Precision Bass.

    I haven't tried the Kinetix yet (but boy am I tempted), however I recently picked up the MG800+. This amp is very punchy and has a strong low end without sounding boomy or bloated. I think it's the best sounding amp for my ears that I've ever played. There might not be many folks that have heard...

    Not a great picture, but here's my rig from last weekend at a large BBQ restaurant. I used the MG800+ for the first time into my two ULV112-T cabinets. The MG800+ is a force of nature! We were on a wooden stage, so I bumped up the HPF to about 9 o'clock and it tamed the boom. I'm amazed how full...

    I agree with your assessment! I have a pair of ULV112T's and it's hard to imagine how that much quality sound can be coming out of such small, lightweight cabinets!

    Please help me pick my new rig

    I used a pair of ULV 112 cabs driven by a Genzler MG 800+ last weekend at a large BBQ restaurant and it ruled. It’s unbelievable how much quality performance comes out of Genzler gear, and so light to boot.

    Fender Mod Shop Club

    I have a pair of Mod Shop Jazz basses, both with chambered ash bodies. They're both in the mid-7 pound range. I was able to find a couple of Pro-II Jazz basses (alder) in the mid-8s, which is unusual, so the chambered ash will save at least a pound, maybe more. As far as sound goes, the ash...

    I have a lot of experience with the MG800 and it is an excellent amp. It has a thick, clean tone with plenty of power and EQ adjustments. I would be happy using it for the rest of my gigging life. I recently picked up the MG800+ but it's first time playing out will be this coming Saturday. I...

    All I can say is wow! Happy for you that they sent all those items. Nathan did mention a care package, but I figured I'd get a t-shirt or something. I think I'll get back to him today. ;)

    That’s great news, I hope your bass arrives for the recording sessions. Conversely, Nathan in Customer Service emailed me today and said they were still out of tuners. Maybe they received enough for some of the open orders.

    Nathan at Fender informed me on June 1 that they were waiting for tuners, so they've been out of stock for at least 3 weeks. I emailed him again yesterday morning but haven't heard back yet.

    Yep, I use a Gramma Pad on every gig. That stage is the boomiest I play on, and it needs all the help it can get! I was really tempted to get a pair of BA10-S2's but ended up going with the ULV112s. Either would suit me just fine.

    I played an indoor gig on a large wooden stage with lots of boominess, and yes, the amber contour is very effective at cutting the boom.

    My new Genzler rig performed admirably at a large outdoor venue a couple weeks ago. I used the MG350 and a pair of ULV112-T cabinets. It's really astonishing what this rig can do. We will be playing at this venue a couple time in July and I'll get better pictures. For those dates, even though...

    No word on my bass. I ordered it on April 21 so I'm almost at 60 days. I don't know if it would do any good to follow up with customer service. I imagine no word on yours either.

    My band stands during gigs. I use a Fender neoprene strap and hold the bass at around a 45-degree angle. In those conditions, surprisingly, there's no neck dive. I can let go of the bass to adjust the mic stand or adjust my amp, and the bass stays in place without the strap tugging on my shirt...

    I currently have the MG800+, the MG350, and two ULV-112T's. I have been thinking seriously about adding a ULV-210T as an occasional single cab solution. As others have said, there's something for everyone in the Genzler line.

    My band typically plays 3-hour gigs, with only one break in the middle. And if the crowd is still engaged at the end of 3 hours, we often keep playing. With that in mind, the chambered ash body that the Mod Shop currently offers is a life saver, with the basses coming in well under 8 pounds. If...
