The BBC looks and feels solid. Very light and easy to move. It sounds like a small, sealed cab (not sure that it is). The F212 was more open with more highs and lows and seemed to have better dispersion. The F212 was louder all other things being equal. The BBC had a more narrow mid character.
Great. I'm torn between a BBC 1216 and Fearful F115. My needs are simple. I want a great sounding, full range, stand alone cab that's easy to transport and is rugged. The F115 I know what it is and it's great. The BBC 1215 is an unknown variable to me and it's $200.00 less expensive new.
Very cool thank you. Any trouble being heard in the mix? Can you feel your Bass?
No problem being heard and I can definitely feel the bass. Essentially, if I need more than this cab can deliver, there is going to be a full PA providing sound.
Just to highlight the options I would be looking at if I were you: the Gb F112 or Barefaced Two 10 or Bf SM or Audiokinesis TC115 or MAS-109 or Baer ML112 should cover what you're talking about here.

It's nice to have as many great options as we have these days!
I had the chance to hop up on stage and play one as well as listen to one from the crowd.
It's definitely worth trying out...

Yes, these are really great options. The Thunderchild is another one I'm strongly considering.
Had a chance to sync up with a local owner at a club. Had the chance to get up on stage between sets, try it out. an listen to how it held up against the PA and could be heard through out the venue.
Forgot another great option [Genzler Amplification MG-212T]:

From the website an F215 is more expensive. Are you thinking of the Fearless Basics? The Basics are less expensive.
Base F212 price on Gigmaster Soundworks's web site is $1500. That gives you lots of options to customize before "extras". Looking at boom's site it looks like you would be in at a similar price for their 1215 with custom options.
FYI Our prices are on our website. The difference in price between the base F212 and a standard Tank 1215 which includes recessed wheels and a telescopic handle is more than $300. Your information is incorrect.
If offering this correction violates CUP it is unintentional.
