I am looking to purchase a 212 bass cabinet to replace the 115 and 210 I'm currently using. Looking for 4 ohm to handle 600 watts (or more). I've looked at many, but no one in my area carries them...so no opportunity to try one out, would love to hear from people who have played through....Aguilar, Mesa, Markbass, Glasstone, Epiphany or any other....any suggestions would be appreciated.

TB'er - triplelutz has an Agi 2x10 for sale?? I know your looking for 2x12, but hey, never know.
I have a 2x12 and I love it. It is a original Schroeder series, before all the R and L things.. I wish I could find another one.

I have an Eden Nemesis 320 watt 212 combo and a Mesa M6 212 combo. I absolutely love both. The Eden can handle most situations, compact, and has great tone controls, just all around great amp. The Mesa is a freaking beast. Sounds beautiful and can handle large gigs at half volume. I have yet to really open it up, even at an outdoor gig. I know the general response on these types of questions is "its all about what sounds good to you", but screw that, get a Mesa or Eden. :D:bassist:

I'm saving up for a Glasstone LILG. Be different and step out from the crowd. You won;t go wrong. Get the LiLG.

Have you thought about maybe getting 2 or 3 cabs with 1 X 12 in each? GK has a 1X12 combo (200 watts) with extension powered cabs. You can have one, two, three, or whatever number you want. Each cab is 200 watts. I think each cab is around 30 lbs. Look in the amp forums - plenty of conversations about them there. I would think other makers will jump on that wagon pretty soon.

Someone in my area has an Ampeg 2x15 for sale on CL. Not familiar with it, but $900 seems a little steep to me. Probably about 3 hours from Seaford. Here's the link, if you're interested: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Genz Benz uber is a heck of a good cab. If I had to do it all over again. I would of picked up 2 Benz 112 for the versatility. But, I got a good enough deal that it was too hard to pass up.

These cabs sounds amazing. The bottom is the M212 and is 44 lbs. The top is the XS112 and is 22 lbs (I have a pair of those).
