Genzler Amplification Club

[jibass]

put them side by side. that's what I'd do

Duh, of course you are right, i didn't think of that. But i still am not interested in using both at the same time. If someone really wants me to try that let me know, but again it would only be home-based review since no gigs scheduled yet.

 

[jibass]

I have to add, after hours with the MG12-TV, i compared to the BA110-2 again. A "smaller" sound, but a great sound, just different. Strictly my opinion but you won't go wrong with either cabinet, just depends on what you like to hear and use.

@gl1234 -- thanks for posting your initial comments on the MG-12T-V cab. While I think you do capture that they are 2 uniquely different types of cabinets, we really did not design them to me stacked together. The MG cab is more "classic" in it's tone, with the 12" giving a bigger tonal foot print and a more throaty mid vibe. If stacking is important I'd place the smaller BA10-2 on the top, that would point the 10" and the Array upward, which would be nice. And thanks for being an early adapter. I think you'll find when you do get it into a live setting, it will continue to be impressive.

I don't care too much about aesthetics.
I think for a stack of either 1 or 2 BA10-2 on top an MG 12, I'd go with the original MG112T on its side as the bottom cab with the HF driver cut all the way down & then 1 or preferably 2 BA10-2 stacked on top - seems like a good fit dimensions wise.
Might need feet on the side of the MG or just use a Gramma pad underneath.

Interesting...looks to be about $100. Can it be tilted back? Can you quantify the difference with and without? The vids on the website sound good though the one with the studio monitors appears to have the recording mics in different location relative to the drivers. Too bad.

I wonder what Jeff says about these things...

I have been looking to get a Combo Amp for a low to medium level Old Skool Blues Band playing mainly small to medium clubs. Been looking at Genzler 350 combo and Phil Jones Super Flightcase[6x5 2 upfiring] but during my research it seems these are revered by Acoustic Upright Bassist and small trio Jazz Bassist [electric]. This 'fear' is running me towards Markbass 102 250/500 Ninja or one of their 112 combo's. Projection into the room is a concern also. Any Comments? Prefer not to have to add cabinet.

As to isolation I am a Big fan; Home Audio and Pro. But in this case I know PJB has upfiring woofer so as to not have to lift or angle cabinet they want it to couple to floor and BA 110-2 is angled up maybe for same reason.

So not sure if its good or bad using Isolator stand or attaching Stage 1 Isolators for 350 combo; Jeff should know I believe many 4x10, 1x15 or 2x12 [maybe 2x10] cabinets will benefit.

PS; This is band playing original, they are 80% original playing live. Bass player in Vid is leaving.

I can’t recommend the Genzler MG350 enough. It is so loud for its size and it sounds fantastic. I used it yesterday for an outdoor farmers market Jazz trio and never had it past noon on the master.

 

[rok51]

I'm with Steven C on this. I have only played the MG350 combo on one gig, but I have also played several parties in a gig-like atmosphere. We had two or three guitars, keys and a full drum kit. I started with the combo and BA10-2 extension cabinet the first night...then I unplugged the extension cabinet and just went with the combo. Next time I didn't even bring the extension cabinet!
I heard a video of the gig and couldn't believe just how prominent the bass was in the mix.
This little guy punches way above its weight!

It really does depend on how loud you play... but as was said, this little amp punches WAY above its class. The bass array really impacts projection in a positive way.

I used mine this morning in a small church, funky trio with acoustic drums, keys, and me. Both volume and gain were at about 9:00 and everything was good.

FWIW, I always get my BA12-3 and my BA10-2 up off the floor and pointed more to my ears.

There is the new MG12T-V combo too...

 

[Nightman]

For that band, not having what I have already, which are the 350 Combo with the BA12-3, I'd go with the newer MG12T-V Combo!

 

[berman3313]

What he said!

Based on the video and the 5 stringer, the 12" with the Mag350 would be a solid choice.
The PJB sounds too thin, the Mark too muddy. Genzler = just right!

I’m reminded of a nursery rhyme, but which one escapes me.

Haven't taken this set up out in a while. Sounded really good last night.
