Genzler Amplification Club

Loop they power and the speaker cable through the top handle on the top slant, amp will stay there. That's how the photos were taken in the Genzler site, I think there is a bit of a video somewhere to illustrate the technique. The amp goes on top of the handle but the cables slip under the amp forward and then down through the handle underneath coming out towards the rear of the cabinet.

So I laid down some tracks this past weekend with my band. Just four songs in the downtuned, heavy hardcore genre. Real DIY quick and dirty style. While playing around with sounds, we landed on running the DI post EQ out of the MG800. Had my B7K in front of the amp as an always on drive pedal.

Ended up sounded ridiculously good. Like the most beautiful, quintessential hardcore bass sound I could have asked for. Occupied all the right spaces just above the kick, with the perfect growl and sizzle.

So we just went with that as my recorded sound (shrugs shoulders). No clean/dry tracks. No mic’d cabs. We’ll see how it sounds!

Ok, so my small Genzler rig is freaking awesome! It's amazing the quality and performance I'm getting from this short stack. Obviously, I want to add another BA12-3 and I'm thinking of adding the MG-800 head when I need that amount of power (but I'll keep the MG-350, as I really like the tone).
So, is anyone rocking 2 BA12-3 slant cabs? Asking since I wouldn't want head placement on top a potential issue.
No issue here. But I do loop my Speakon cord through the top cab handle... just to be on the safe side.
 
Got a chance to fire this up a bit today. But, the real tests will begin this Friday at practice. Then, a 1000 seater in CT. next Friday and a concert club in MA. on Saturday. This is going to be fun to see how it reacts in these different situations!

Let’s hear it when it’s all done and mixed!

Where else would a bass player get hardware from - but "Lowes" :D
I thought that looked familiar! I saw a worker/painter adjustable platform at Home Depot that looked something like that, only much bigger. I thought about getting me one, but I’d forget what I was standing on and take too big a step backwards and that would be that!!!
