@Jeff Genzler The Genzler stack went over really well at the Toronto GTA GTG today

As soon as i get rid of some things i am getting this.. I emailed Jeff and I believe covers for the 410-3 will be available too.. I don't know the price though.
I have sold all my hard road cases .. My uber 115s have been riding naked and getting a bit messy. But they have all been Local gigs since I backline the others right now,
I guess the 410 will be like a tight fist and the array will make it all sing


Impressive. Kirk, this one might be right up your alley for a potent single cab.

I am wondering if any of you have paired a 12-3 with a 10-2 yet.

I have a older 2x10 and a older 4x10 Eden cabs. Been using 10 speakers for years. I got into a Genz Benz shuttle 9.1 head a few years ago at a solid low price. It was a no brainer difference in what I was using. I love it still. I am considering a new cab with these genzler cabs. I started out looking for a used 1x10 cab that I could practice with. Now after looking around for a few months and researching those little MarkBass combos and PJB other new stuff(been out of the gear acquisition syndrome for a long min) I am almost convinced to get something new like one of these. But like most if I like these I will want to change my complete rig out.

I asked Jeff what he thought the ideal rig would be with the MG800. He said the BA 410-3 on top with the BA 210-3 on the bottom was a killer sound.

I had an Uber 410 and loved it’s punch and tone but sold it because of the inherent 410 poor dispersion. With improved dispersion provided by the vertical 3 array and weighing in at a reasonable 55 lbs, this breathes new life into an old classic.

My Uber 410 was my all time favorite 410 cab, and I’ve owned quite a few over the years.

This new Genzler 410 *really* has my interest.
 
Did a show last night for the first time in ages without FOH as it was a new place and the stage area was really small. So we decided to just use our amps and a small PA for vocals. I again decided to take the Magellan 800 with a GK NEO 410 and NEO 112.

Wow that amp put out some serious volume at very low settings. It was pretty loud on stage, yes I wore ear protection, and when I walked to the back of the room with my wireless I found that I was actually over powering the guitarist. :eek: So I naturally had to turn down. Just wanted to state that this amp is no joke. Serious power.

Here is a picture I just took with the settings untouched from last night:

I just realized the contour was set higher than I normally run it. No wonder it sounded scooped. :facepalm:
Even though, it still sounded great and powerful. Should also add that at these settings, when I would get near my amp I could feel that 112 push some air at me. Sweet. :bassist:

I have both the BA12-3 and a BA10-2 and while I haven't paired them together on a gig, I did play them together a little after I first received the BA10-2. Here's a link to my post comparing them and playing them together.

Not too scooped at 9 o clock - very usable still. I almost never get my master above 9 o'clock - loud indeed! Were you running both cabs?!?

No not too scooped at all which is why I noticed the change, but didn't pay too much attention to it. And yes it was pretty loud and I was using both cabs. My shows never get that loud, but this one was different for us and it did sound very good towards the back of the venue. FOH would have been overkill at this location. Actually I think we were overkill at this location but they loved us.

We were immediately booked again for a show in 3 weeks which I luckily still had that date available. So I think the next show should be a little better on volume, but it will probably still be a little loud. My wife said it was a 3D experience with everyone in the front feeling the music as well. Not surprised as that 112 was really pushing some air, not to mention with the 410 providing a lot of kick.

The good thing about the Genzler Contour "A" Blue LED on, The scoop that happens is musical. Not like contour controls from the last century.

Even extreme settings of contour "A" can be usable.. I was NEVER a scooper... But at times I use Contour A , and it sounds good without losing the essential MIDS.( depending on the bass and strings that i am playing)
HOwever, I have been using contour "B" lately,,, I've been in a series of crummy sounding rooms and Contour"A" seems to help me out in an instant.
