Genz Benz Bigg Dawgg Cab

It's not a single cabinet. Not a real [production model] Genz Benz anyway.

Looks like an Uber 4x10 and 2x12 in one cab.

Found it also on Reverb.com Genz Benz BIGG DAWWG (custom shop) Bass Cab NEW | BW shop
Seller says,
"Custom built by Genz Benz for a certain celebrity.

4 x 10" + 2 x 12" + horn
Built as part of the Uber Bass series.
Neodymium drivers. Only 115 pounds!

Paid $1800 & never even took it out of the box until now."

How do you not take that out of the box for years? :woot:
 
Interesting. We did build some custom one-offs, but very few. I don't know if this was one of them but the story is kind of odd. Never taken out of the box??? Perhaps Jeff might recognize this cabinet, he would know better than me.

Yes, there are in fact counterfeits out there. This was especially true of the G-Flex guitar cabinets, and there was a builder knocking them off commercially for a while too. Pretty un-cool IMO.
 
Boy .... I had to think about this one for a little while but the Bigg Dawwg label gave it away. This should be a pretty quick TB quiz.

Who could it be?

We did build this. A certain visitor came to the shop and played a bunch of gear and really liked the combo of the UBER 410 and UBER 212T, but wanted one cab to run under a GBE 1200.
 
Someone knows the answer to the quiz. This thread was started yesterday by someone else.
Unfortunately used a designation for the F word in the title and the thread was dropped. So, it was mentioned who the Big Dog could be, but I forgot.
How did it sound? Does it really only weigh 115lbs.?
 
Yeah, memories get a little fuzzy at our age, right?

Yeah, you got that right, Jimmy. Oh, I mean Andy.

BTW---how is your ear after answering your soldering iron instead of your phone?:D

Do we have any guesses as to the mystery artist who requested this one of a kind cab?
 
OK, Randy Jackson is the correct answer. I did not see that there was another thread from yesterday.

This was built for him in his American Idol heyday. It sounded pretty damn deep. The punch of the 410's and the depth of the 2x12. They were all in the same chamber if I remember correctly.

What was the question again?
