The Genz Benz NEOX 212T

[Fretlessboy]

The Uber series is my favorite but it doesn't have as much of a modern tone... that is however what I love about it. It is clean and thick with a more "old School" tight dual 15 type of sound.

+1 for considering an Uber 212 as well. I believe the Uber is voiced a little bit lower, (more oomph), but also nice and even all the way to the top.

Mint GB 212T for sale allways used in my smoke free studio wheels look new,never been dropped down stairs or had beer spilled on it $???.
Sorry I just had to say it.
I actually do own one of these cabs and so far I love it and agree with everyone else that it is the best standalone cab for the size that I have found out of at least 25+ cabs that I have tried.
I like the vertical height compared to the single Avatar 12 that I have,the GB just seems to work well for many reasons.
The only draw back to its odd size is that it doesnt stack well with others.

Ha! I would also add that there is a lack of rat hair frizzies (only b/c I got out my beard trimmer and shaved 'em off!)

You are correct about the stacking. I've had to turn it on it's side when stacking and use it at the bottom. Really large heads also have to be placed very carefully on it. My Peavey Classic 400 was too big and I had to use a wood plank so the feet would fit. The Bassman 300's feet barely fit.

Someone else mentioned it's lack of coloration and I'd have to agree there.

That's more my style too.

I'm glad I chose 212Ts to use with my SM 12.0. Their inherent hi-fi sound is tamed down considerably by my '62 RI Jazz bass with flats and Antiquity pickups. With this setup they have a nice, old-school bouncy bass tone for my country gig, without being muddy or too trebly with the amp settings fairly flat.

Go for the NEOX212T. I've owned mine for about 3 years now. First, with a GBE750, later with a Shuttle 6.0.

VERY low coloration, except maybe for a mid push. Which is great so we can be heard!

I EQ the Shuttle very little and I get a great sound from the cabinet.

Perfect height for me as well.

One of the very few cabinets I'd consider purchasing - clear, punchy, loud, decently low (low mids mostly), excellent midrange dispersion for a bass cab, and super portable despite being pretty big.

+1

For me it was love at first sight. It had come down to either the GB or the Ampeg pb212. Check out my thread here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=475508

Stacks perfectly with a rack though. At four ohms, it's often (usually?) going to be used stand alone anyway. It's the perfect "one trip" cab.

Nuh-uh!

I didn't say "always". Think "usually" might be true, I'm very confident that "often" is true. I've never had an amp that specs a two ohm load - yes I know they exist and are becoming more common.

P.S. Cool rig, BTW. At the same time, you have no idea how happy I am to have a "one trip load in" rig. I never thought I'd see the day.

I reviewed the NEOX212-T back in issue #1, and I think it is an excellent cabinet that can cover a lot of ground, and cover it well.

Is there a way to go back and read that review?

I'm thinking of trading my pair of Epifani PS112 cabs for a NEOX 212T.

The 210T and 212T are two of the best on the market.

Currently, the only way is to either download the .pdf for issue #1 or get a back issue. But we are working on some more (free) options for viewing back issues/reviews.

I bought a Neo 212 to run with a GBE750. Really liked the cab so I bought another one. I REALLY like running two of them especially if when I can push them a bit at larger gigs. If need be, I can fit one of the cabs in the trunk of my Civic (which has fold-down back seats) which is really cool when I want to use the smaller set-up. Relatively easy to move and sounds great.

Ahh, I found it. Didn't realize I had to click the digital version of issue 3 to get to issue 1. I was looking for an access to the archive.

Thanks,

(resurrecting an old thread)

I believe the Neox-112T shaved off a few pounds in the past couple of years.

I'm looking at used Neox-212T cabinets, and wondering if they shaved off a couple of pounds too. If so, what year would that be, and how could I tell them apart when looking?

I guess 2011 brings vinyl covering rather than rat fur, but is there any other difference from years gone by?

Thanks....Lyle
