No one seems to discount Genzler much so anything off is pretty good. I bought my 210 from them and a Sandberg bass (in my avatar) and they've been great.

If you think it’s worth it - it is!
I have covers for all of mine. You can compare the price to the genzler website and see how it measures up...
I think the free shipping makes it worth it. The covers don't come in the market used very often. Quite frequently they only appear used with the cabinet that they were originally bought for. Up to you.
Nice to hear about the 15-3. Glad you like it. Sounds like it is deep but still retains clarity?
For those of you who have heard both the BA10-2 and the MG12T-V: the MG12T-V seems to make the most sense as a stand-alone cab. The foot print is about the same for fitting on small stages, it's taller and closer to the ears, it has more volume and low end. The BA series is known for its clarity, transparency and smoothness. With the MG12T-V I know I'd give up a bit of horizontal dispersion and I'm OK with that.
So here's the question...how close is the MG12T-V in terms of clarity and transparency to the BA10-2? Is it noticeable or subtle?
Thanks for any input,
Bob

I believe both cabs have their handle at the back upper edge. Speaking of ergonomics, the MG112T-V is only 2 pounds heavier than the BA10-2.
Hi Bob,
The thing is, the MG12T-V is so close to the cost of the BA12-3SLT, that it’s the cabinet you should be comparing it to. I went through the same conundrum, the difference being, I had an opportunity to actually try the 800/BA12-3SLT. If you searched the site you might have even seen my thread asking about the two cabinets.
In the end, after talking to the dealer and Jeff himself, I jumped on the BA12-3 feeling the bass array concept really reflected the better option. The BA12-3 is the most modern, goes lower, disperses better, is more efficient and can handle more power than th MG12T-V. It’s well worth the extra money and the cabinet that you should really be comparing to the 12T-V.
Well said. Yes, very articulate but with great bass depth. Extremely well rounded.
Yes, that makes sense for sure. I was comparing the BA10-2 and MG12T-V in terms of weight, footprint and the combo feature. I will certainly figure the BA12-3 into the equation. Thanks for you input!
As combo goes, I think the tall 12 is the way to go. I have a BA10-2 and it makes an awesome combo as well. It’s just just that the 12 is a little deeper and maybe not as high in a good way if that makes sense. I haven’t sold my BA10-2 yet. If I don’t, no biggie. I have an option for a different sound. Or, I could try stacking them. The round full 12 and the more articulate 10 may be an ok combo. As I said, I want the easy load in so I’m a 1 can guy. If I HAD to pick one, probably the 12.
I have 3 BA10-2 cabs. I use 1 for small rooms (most of our gigs), 2 for larger rooms, and 3 for outdoors.
If the tall 12 had been available when I made the purchase, I probably would have taken that in place of 2 of the BA10-2s. Still struggling with the decision to sell two of the 10s and get a 12TV. (Like SteveC)
I ended up buying the cover for $71.99! I'm loving my BA12-3! Everybody at band practice said it's very clear compared to my SWR 2x10's I had before.
Honestly, I haven't used the BA10-2 since I got the 12TV. I have an extra cradle and everything, just lazy. The BA10-2 might be my "inside" cab and the 12TV my outdoor cab. The BA is a little more "hifi" so that could be a deciding factor, too, I suppose. You can't go wrong with either so don't overthink it. Just pick a cab and play.
If you got the monies, go for that BA15-3 and mix and match with the 10's as needed. Maybe even sell one of them. Hmmm just think of all those outside gigs with that 15"!
Good thought. But I like compact and light. Always had 10s and 12s, never a 15.
May be due to pain a suffering back when I had to haul a Hammond and Leslie around in my keyboard days.
Can't believe we all use to suffer with the old heavy equipment.

So that's the beauty of the 15. Pick it up and you can't believe it's that light..almost like they forget the driver! It's only 35 pounds, 3 pounds heavier than the 12-3. At my age (practically a "senior"), it's perfect. Carried a backpack, amp bag, bass and cab all in one trip from the car to the stage. Love it!
a one-trip load in is a luxury.
ever since I've been doing JPJ gigs with keys and bass gear, the thought of a one-trip load in is squarely in the rear-view mirror.

If that BA15-3 had been around before I jumped on the BA410-3 I would have settled on it and been done with a 10-2/12-3/15-3 stack powered by the MG800! I just can't justify getting the 15-3 at this point, but what a thought of having that rig.
Since when has a bass player ever justified the extra gear we accumulate lol. Just get it!
