in my current playing situations, i shouldn't ever need more than the combo (i run just my 800RB and schro 1212). but for future use, i may "need" to add more.
i'm hyped. and the dude at MF said it'd ship in 48 hours or so.
:groovy:

I ordered mine from MusiciansFriend.com and used the 20% off coupon listed in the "Hot Deals" forum here on TB. So I got the combo, a 3 year extended warranty (even protects against me dropping it, spilling beer), a new instrument cable and a couple of other odds and ends ALL for under $700!!!!
20%? I just canceled my Music123 order and placed one with MF for a 212. Estimated ship date: 10/30 Link Removed
Huh, I didn't even get an estimated ship date when I ordered mine, although I suspect it's the same date as yours!
when i ordered mine, the website said estimated ship date was like 11/6. order-taker dude said it'd ship within 48 hours...
:shrug:
Yeah but I ordered the MB212 which has yet to be in stock ever. The MB210 has been in stock already.

all i'm sayin' is don't trust what the website says. or maybe don't trust what the order-taker dude says.
hell - just don't trust anyone, ever, for any reason.
I wouldn't go on faith either, but I say that for a positive reason. I ordered the 1001RB-II/NEO 212 last month. It's been out of production for a while, but I called GK and they just happened to still have a few units sitting in their warehouse and they sold it to me. Still brand new. This is was just last month!
Any of you looking at one of the MB combos, I'd say call GK and see if they still have any 1001/neo212 combos left. RMC Audio has them at $1049, and GC price matched it for my order.
This is all unless of course you like the MB's better. I was just putting it out there.

The order taker told me 24 hours. Link Removed I asked him to double check. That's when he came back with 10/30. Website says 11/11.
At this point I'm hoping for 2009.

Good stuff! All I know is that when I picked up the MB212 at Summer NAMM, I was stunned at how light it was. Then, I was amazed at how good it sounded. Finally, when Brian told me the price, I was floored at how affordable it is.
Barring any major bumps in the road, GK should have a real winner, here.
Can't wait to get your take on this cab. Seems like it is light enough for the smaller gigs but puts out enough thump for the bigger gigs.
Are you gonna be at the NoVA/DC/MD GTG with this beast?
Depends on when the GTG is (I'll go look at the thread) and if the combo is in my hands before the GTG.

Cool. Its 11/8 in Ashburn. Bit of a haul for you.
Eager to hear what you think compared to other rigs you've owned.
the horsepower to weight ratio was a huge factor in my getting the MB combo. and the external output was the main factor in getting the 2x10 instead of the 2x12.
I just checked MF's website and the expected delivery date is now 11/11 from 11/6 for the 210 and 212! It is still 11/6 for the 115. Maybe by Christmas?
