GENZ BENZ Focus Cabs - New and Lightweight
- Thread starter svtb15
- Start date
Glad to hear the positive vibes on the Focus cabs. I'm getting the 15 next month. Looking forward to hearing what it sounds like with my MarkBass TTE-500.
I've got the focus 15 cab and I absolutely love it! I'm run it off the head section of my GB Contour and it's a great little kick butt cabinet. I'm sure you will be more than happy with it.
I just grabbed a second Focus 1x12 cab here. I'll mostly gig with a single one and only add the second when needed for louder situations.
Ironically, the picture of my Focus cabs is blurry and will need to be redone...

I've got 2 Focus 15s. Got the first one and I loved the tone of it so much I bought a second for a fairly "lightweight" 2-15 setup.
To my ears, the 15 has a really nice balance across the whole range. Good lows, not earthshaking lows, but they're there, warm mids, nice smooth top end.
I got my Focus 2x10 and play my pbass through it, its great. No complaints! Nice low end for a 2x10, good growl. No complaints. Will eventually get a 1x15 or 1x12 if I need it, but for now I dont and all is great
I have two of the 112's and I love what I am getting from them. I played my first gig with them two weeks ago and another bassist used my rig. It was nice to sit out in the audience and listen to how the rig sounded. Deep, punchy, and clean. This was with a GK MB200. Can't wait to try it with my Carvin or the Peavey if I still have it.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Wow these pictures of the dual 112 Focus rigs are making me want one.

Having owned the Uber 212 I can say without hesitation once you play through one of those you will never forget but alas my junked out old back could no longer haul that cab around sold it and miss the powerful sound that cab delivered

For my purposes (mostly loud upright bass), the NX2 is the best Genz cab to date. I've owned an Uber 212, Uber 410 and 410XB2...liked them all quite a bit, but the NX2 is my favorite...two of em would be something 
Yeah that NX2 212 is not much more (~$200) than a pair of Focus 12s.

I bought a new NX2 about 2 weeks ago, gona use it first time at a gig this Friday. Only played thru it at home alone just twice so far. New band does classic rock/Stax-Motown era tunes. So no UB just 5 string EB's. I own a NeoX 212T but had to see myself what the NX2 can do. Can't really say at home practice with tracks volume what all the NX2 can do yet.
My NeoX 212T served me well last couple summers. Expecting the NX2 will do same. So far feels to me like the NX2 is just abit tighter, punchier than my NeoX, But that might just be the still new cab, not opened up yet. I have not done side by side comparo of my two GB cabs.
Running a Streamliner 900 sometimes with a Aggie TH effects pedal thru effects return for two different tone heads thru this cab. Like what I hear so far.
From what I've read, I don't think the Focus cabs' woulda been enough for my one cab do all, loud, no PA solution in this new band.
