OBTW, I really like the gain channel subtle OD. Does not change the sound too much and it adds a touch of texture.

I love it so much that when going cabless which is most the time now, the Magellan head is used as my DI sent post with the drive around 11:00 all else at noon. Not distorting fuzzy, I do not like that, just gives some yummy bite. drool
Happy holiday, you must have been a good boy.
@bebass or someone with access to most Genzler cabs, I was considering different combinations & looked at the sensitivity specs - looks like the MG112T would make a good bottom cab in a stack with one or two BA10-2.
You could even place the MG112T on its side to get the other cab(s) up closer to your ears & (possibly) alter the low end character just a bit.
I'd love to A/B the MG112T\BA10-2\BA10-2 stack with a 3x BA10-2 stack.
Does anyone have the access to try this out?

Let’s just say I love my Genzler gear....this shows all the stack I’ve purchased with a 3 stack 12-3 and 800 head. My 2 stack 210-3 and 800 head and my newest 10-2 stack with 350 head. All are equally amazing and easily handle anything I’ve thrown at them from big venues of 4-5000 to church settings of 100-350 people.
It’s mainly what I use now. Every venue I play at has a good tongreat house so it handles everything I need. Amazing setup that is very powerful when using the whole stack.
Nice rig, but do yourself a favor, get a Guitar Stand.
Worse experience I can remember with band-mates. Gibson Les Paul leaning against an amp on break (face against the amp). Some one on stage (actually the guitar player himself) bumped the guitar. It fell to the left, turning half way round and landed on its back on the stage. When that happened the head-stock snapped (actually broke right at the nut). As I say, worse thing I have ever seen happen.
Do yourself a favor and get a stand. Certainly a cheap insurance policy. Amigo.
@campbems
Have you ever done some mixing and matching? I always wondered how the 210 and 12-3 would sound together.

I have not tried that but did try the Mg112T with a single BA10-2. Adding the MG112T to the BA110-2 pair will IMO give a more defined/warmer lower end bearing in mind that each cab is getting hit with the same power so maybe a bit of EQ necessary. I probably would turn the horn off. Would like to try it with two amps. The Bass Arrays kinda took over the spotlight, but the MG series are really nice with IMO a bit more warmer low end, possibly due to the array not being there giving a perceived difference. I still play through a pair of the BA112 cabs which are my favorite out of all the cabs we have but would not hesitate to play through the MG cabs. I did play through a MG212T with a BA112 on top and liked that a lot.
Hi,
appreciated the concern!
Well, the curse of gibson’s broken headstock is well known ! It’s due to a terrible oversight on the structural design at the nut! (Like fender on other issues) they have never done anything to rectify it!
About the stand, in my over 40 years of musician’s experience the only instruments damaged I had were when using an instrument stand, go figure!
My own basses have a symmetric butt (!) that keep them very stable. Most of the time I’m in the back of the stage away from the action and maybe just because other are concern (like you are) about the “unstable” look of it, they pay more attention?.....
There are actually very good instrument stands (I have one my good friend Cartaya gave me as a present), but it’s bulky and heavy.
Anyhow... you guys stay safe!
Carbon. It’s made by Moses graphite by my design...

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Mee too.. The only time i got a damaged headstock was when a bass fell from a stand.
I NEVER need or use a stand. If on on a large gig . ,my basses are not on stage except with for the 90 minutes. If i'm on a club gig I lean it in the corner created by the back wall and my amp.
. My amp is 99% of the time against a wall. I lean my bass up against the wall and my amp. So it is protected in a corner. Way safer than on any stand, Especially if you get a drunk nooknick that wanders onto the stage. Plus its one less thing that i have to carry to a local gig.

A drunk wandering on the stage? That has never happened to me.
Well, maybe once..no twice...no...OK, a billion times, haha. I do use a stand but a stand does not protect any better than your method - which I have also used. At one point I was bringing a hardshell case and putting the bass in it at every break.

hahaha... They get crazy..... On my normal gigs never an issue. There is security/ dressing rooms ect.. But bar gigs... Im in Texas... When I'm on a club gig. People wander up ALL the time. Drunk Girls mostly..
I was on a bar gig with my drummer friend from delbert mcclinton. He would stab the drunk chicks with his drum stick when they got too close to his kit.. I love watching their surprised and the HOW DARE YOU LOOK when he did that. . .LOL
Everyone wants to either sing along or ask you if you will play a SRV song.
EDIT} Just my OPINION..^ . Everyone has one LOL
