Genzler Amplification ! New Genz Benz ?

Last chance for any of you guys in the NE to sign up for the GTG in CT! Come hang with Jeff and demo his cabs for yourself. Hope to see you there....see link in my SIG!


Wish I could hang with Jeff that would be cool. I'm looking forward to getting to play one of these cabs at some point. I was looking at the specs of the 2x12 and it seems to be a Mega Cab spec wise.

Cool!

My other concern is size of the cab. At only 16" high my feet will love the sound, but I'm wondering if being so far from ear level will be ok for me. Perhaps the cabs design overcomes this? I see milk crates being used in the pictures. :/ I have been a 410, and 610 guy, so a cab like the Bass Array will be a departure. Also, at 19" long, my big ass tube amp (Reeves) may not fit on top. It is 24".

Coming up with excuses to not buy something is a sure sign of GAS. ;)
 
The true TB GAS-aholic does this: Owns and loves Item A, is not sure if Item B (the new, shiny one!) will work with it, but they buy Item B, anyway. Combination doesn't work, so they buy Item C to go with B. That works, and soon Item A (which they swore they couldn't live without) shows up in the Classifieds. Then the next new shiny thing comes out...;)

Guilty as charged. I have done this in the past. But, I haven't purchased the cab yet and I'm actually attempting to think it through. But this is a new revolutionary invention...

That's because they only had two of them - you need to stack them three tall to get them up there, with just the top two connected and the bottom one as a spare. Maybe they'll make a dummy one you can use as storage or maybe a matching beer 'fridge?

They sounded great. Both Wimbish and a great jazz soloist (Mike Dimin) performed with them.
It's funny, when I first saw this post about Wimbish playing using these cabs, I also had a window open looking at a Wimbish artist series bass.
Now I don't know if the universe was telling me to buy bass gear or Wimbish recorded music...or maybe just to practice more...
