Epifani t212 am i missing something??

I looked thru my screenshots, I paid $350 for mine.
If you absolutely love the T310 bc you can push a ton of air out of the port....or you want to crank distortion or clanky grind without worrying then it's your huckleberry.
If you love the older script Epi cabs vs the new neo, sure.
If you drive a BMW Z3 and want the biggest thing that will fit in the passenger seat, it's good for that too.
I'd stay away from the 410 bc that's the big port dealie that I think would work against a Marcus head.
If big clean sound is your thing I'd get ahold of this member: For Sale - Bergantino AE410 - 5 Local-Going to be in LA weekend of July 7
Central Valley isn't that big a deal from Norcal.
If you're in LA then it's even better.
It's a better cab, buy once cry once.
It's a shame you missed the LDS 215 in Concord for $300.
That was a nice cab, a bit too much for my car.

..well i want a clean deep sound..punchy for slap and gritty and dirty when needed....was looking at the 2 .12schroeder cab..peeked my intrest...but basically same price...berg would be a better choice im assuming...never used a berg b4...this marcus head should lair up nicely right?
Think of the early genz heads with the row of ports.
This is back when the Eden Xlt was THE cab.
At some point we started to see more hifi balanced cabs get away from that scoopy 80's-90's thing.
IMO scoopy is the defining SWR sound of the era.
So is the grittier nangy rock bass sound if you look twoards GK and Ampeg of the era.
I don't want to go with a cab that gets even more scoop, I'll want to go balanced or even mid forward to drive more life out of my rig.
If the Schroeder you are talking about is this one then I'd take a demo 20mins+ and see how it works for you: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
When it gets down to 10's or 12's I'm a child of that scoopy 80's and want that 10" sound in some less extreme form.
Thats me tho.

I get it now...thanks for the explanation...i probably will try out the shroeder cab..but i am curious on the berg as well..im in the ie so travel is under 2hrs either oc or LA area...
The pic on the berg seems like one of the drivers was replaced..top right...would have to ask the member about it...a 410 cab does get real punchy...and i could only imagine berg 410
Kringle77, my fave TB member producing clips that reference tone:
It'd be cool if you guys could work out a shootout with the Schroeder and the AE410 in 1 spot.
Neither cab seems to be moving since little cabs are all the rage now.
That's good for you, and havign 2 bass players around is good bc you hear the cab differently when someone else is playing it.
It's nice to see other people dial in with their ear as well, they might find things in your Marcus head you really like and use.
EDIT: give the last page a read from where the guy that makes cabs chimes in. Dual 1x12 Cab Recommendations

It does sound good...im going to give that link a look right now....im going to try to get a hold of this person w the schroeder and see what it sounds like
This clip really highlights the mid forward thing I = to overblowing a little when I played tenor sax.
I'd play both cabs with your Marcus head and see what's there.
I'm an SWR fan from way back, and their 12" cabs were going in the direction of where modern cabs are not necessarily flat but have that mid growl high mid sing to notes the scoopy era didn't have.
Really cool ....but 1st things first...i have to sell this t212 with neos first b4 i do anything....thanks for all your help and suggestions!
Wikipedia says Ellipses but I might be wrong. Nevertheless, the first post was almost unreadable.
An ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, 'omission' or 'falling short') is a series of dots (typically three, such as "…") that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning.Invalid Link Removed
I didn't get the "oomph" I wanted until I got a proper 8x10 set up. Everything before that just didn't move enough air, especially outdoors. Hell, even my 8x10 set up struggles with low end on outdoor gigs. Take all of this with a grain of salt, though. I have very little experience with today's high efficiency drivers. All I can say is every 212, 210, 215, etc failed to move the kind of air I wanted to.
