Wish I could help you but I don't have a 10-2. Maybe do it in steps? Amp first, then cabinet? Anyway, let me know if you want to discuss further via PM. Happy to send you my phone number too.

At 19" wide is quite a bit smaller than my last rig, an Eden 410XLT and has fit into quite a few tight spots for me. Dam those stages are getting smaller.
Oh, and while not on the subject, I know Jeff reads these so I'll post here:
I LOVE (really LOVE) my BA12-3s, but I really don't like the placement of the handle and the lack of rubber feet on the opposite side of the handle. I am always needing to put the cabinet down on a hard surface (driveway) and need both my hands to turn the cabinet upright so that it lands on the rubber feet. It's so light that I often one-hand it but when I put it down, there are no feet so I either have to (and it pains me) put it down gingerly on the side on the metal corners or put down what I'm carrying in my opposite hand to set it down properly.
Seems the only remedy is rubber feet on the side or a carry handle, recessed, on the top of the cabinet.
Anyone else feeling that this is the only "con" to an otherwise amazing piece of gear?

It is a bit awkward. May have to screw some rubber feet on the side be.
I hear you...
The bag helps - it has feet on the side.
My bag however doesn' line up perfectly with the handle and i have to really pull it down to get the handle out...
Small price to pay though for the scratch protection and extra feet.
Yikes...I'd hate to add 4 little aliens to the side but might have to lest I scratch up the corners.
Are the metal corners sold separately? I may have already dinged them up.
Ah, didn't know the bag had feet. Be nice to see that in the picture online.
Oh, and they are out of stock at Genzler. Looks like my local dealer (Bananas At Large) has them in stock. Probably go pick one up this week. Thanks!
Genzler’s not the only ones who does this, but I 100% agree. With my Aguilar cabs, I was able to use the existing screw holes on the corner guards, but at least for the front of the 12-3, I think I’ll have to make new holes (the recessed grill seems to get in the way, at least from my initial scoping it out).
I had asked Jeff about this before, and he did mention the cover having plastic feet built in, but I prefer a vertical orientation for the cover (handle at the top), so feets it is.
*edit* see below, but I remembered wrong what Jeff G. told me...

The only strap handles I ever liked are the leather offerings-classy, comfortable and substantial, used by Mesa, Audiokinesis and some PJB combos. A recessed bar handle is always best, but I presume this adds complexity and cost.
Do you have an early version? I have four little feet on the side of mine. Works perfect if I have to set it down on its side.

If it is a cute puppy, I wonder watt I will feed it?Dag Bernit! Do we have to wait until NAMM to find out what's new?
I may live to regret it with the impending announcements seemingly on the way, but I picked up my second MG112T last night at Bass Club Chicago. Big fan of the arrays, but they don't sound $200 better each to my ears. Actually the most compelling reason to go for the array to me over the MG's is the look. With the grill design of the MG cabs they don't look as sexy stacked on top of each other as the arrays.

correct, no feet on my Genzler branded cover. I ordered it in late March of '16 so it may be one of the early ones.
I thought that I had posted comments on it at some point but can't find them... As you can guess, that was one of the issues. My cab sits on the floor/ground with no protection and after very light use - most of the time it acts as a dust cover at the church where I play - there are a few holes worn into the cover from the limited times I've set it on the concrete or asphalt pavement of parking lots while opening my trunk. If I had been schlepping the cab to gigs every weekend, I expect it would have been toast long before now.
So... I'm glad they have feet now, but bummed that mine doesn't have them.

Gonna stray from the bass amp discussion for just a second......
So, my local store recently became a Genzler dealer. I just spent the last couple hours in there messing around/trying and buying a couple pedals. But part of that time was spent listening to them playing a Taylor acoustic through one of the new Genzler acoustic array combo amps.
Holy. Crap.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard an acoustic guitar sound so amazing. They’ve got a fairly large room that their higher end acoustics and acoustic amps are in, and it just completely filled the room with sound. I honestly couldn’t believe that much sound was coming from such a compact amp. And it was just pristine sounding. Kudos to Jeff and crew for making an amp that has quite possibly the best acoustic guitar sound I’ve ever heard.
