"Super cab" availability

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've never been, have to check it out
If we're to take you seriously you should be ordering a cab already.
 
You should really consider Mike Arnopol or Duke Lejune. Duke is the king of the super small cabs that sound huge. Mike's cabs are just super.

To the left is the Audiokinesis Hathor 112. On the right a stack of Mike's bigE MVW cabs.

Had you considered running 2x ML112, I ran that rig for a while and it was breathtaking, the ML212 is a big cab! I actually run a CN212 now and am very happy with it.
You may want to check out some of the BF threads on Basschat, before you buy, they are a bit marmite to say the least.

Although the earlier Barefaced cabs could be claimed to be marmite (actually it's the same handful of people repeatedly saying one thing and lots of different people saying another) I've yet to notice any of this so called 'marmite' thing from anyone who has used a Barefaced Gen 3 cab (that's the ones with 12XN or 10CR drivers).
 
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?

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...

Did you actually place an order? And if so, what has Baer said about it?

... 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".

Yes, a good number of excellent offerings are available. Why not go for one or more of those? Are you really saying that none of them would work for you :laugh: ?

If you don't jump on the next week availability Barefaced cab you'll be missing out.

Exactamundo ;) .

No patience, huh? 1-2 months too long? Geez. You need instant gratification, I see. Good things come to those who wait.
That's cute.
I've been waiting for the new ml212 for months. I'm in an active band and cannot wait any longer. So f$$k off.

Again, define "waiting." Did you put your money down? Or not? And if you did, what, if anything, did Baer say? Did they anticipate any delay for some reason? Did they promise a completion date that now has come & gone?

New? The ML212 is new? Looking at the Baer site, they say that the ML212 is discontinued. If it was new 2 months ago but is discontinued now, then that's one of the shortest "runs" I think I've ever heard of :woot: . Was it even still in production 2 months ago? Did you even communicate with them about it?

As for your last sentence, it's readily apparent that you seem to be a true vulgarian. So, good luck with that :thumbsup:.
