Are there any cabs similar to the baer 212, fearless 212, or barefaced 212 available for purchase In the US? I'm tired of long build times, etc?

"Super cab" availability

You mean ready to ship the day you make a call to order? No, I doubt it. You may reach out to a few of greenboy's builders. I had two cabs built in under 4 weeks from Dave Homer at Gigmaster.
Good cabs, different from what the OP is asking about.
I was thinking of the bergs.. I really wanted a ml212, but oh well. Already waited two months. I have to get a cab now, sooo...
Schroeder 212PL. 1000 watts and about 40lbs. Ordered and shipped in about 2 weeks. Made in California with Italian drivers. Check out their website and email Jorg directly for questions about specs and prices.
I looked into these, and all I've heard is that they have a massive mid, lo-mid hump. I don't know if I would dig that..
It's one of the inherent limits of the GB approach. You have to use an Authorized Builder or find one used (there are some from time to time). You can also consider "near-full" type builders like Avatar and LDS, but GB folks don't consider these true GB designs and builds, but the OP can make this decision if they don't care about that.
Just looking at the TB classifieds, there are some GB cabs as well as some Audio Kinesis
even Berg and Baer and other "super cab" builder don't always have product available, but it will generally be easier to get one of those "off the shelf".

They use full range woofers. All the cabs in the OP usededicated woofers for the lows, and mid/horn drivers for everything above. Let's the design step out of the box a bit.
Give me some more credit than that. I know what they are. All I'm saying is that the Berg cabs I mentioned are direct competitors with everything mentioned in the OP, and being that there really isn't a strict definition of "super cab" I'd think that very light and very loud all in the fairly small package would fit it pretty well.
Eh...
You seriously think they are not?
I don't even know why I'm arguing this with you after the debacle in the last thread about practically the same thing.

I've just read through the CUP and I can't see anything that stops me saying the following:
If you order a Big Twin 2 (black steel grill) now then you can have it next week. If more than one person orders one then persons two & three and so on (or anyone wanting a silver cloth grill) will have to wait 2-3 weeks. But that's how long our build time is on everything right now.
When we ship to the USA cabs usually leave one morning and arrive the next working day.

I tried one of these and it may be my next cab. I'd be picking it up through Link Removed
OP - you live in Austin, have you considered anything they carry?
No patience, huh? 1-2 months too long? Geez. You need instant gratification, I see. Good things come to those who wait.
