Trickfish Amplification Introduces the L212 Bass Cabinet

[TalkBass]

Trickfish Amplification has added the L212 to its L Series cabinet lineup — a 2x12" with diagonally arranged Lavoce neodymium drivers in the same compact footprint as the L410.

The L212 delivers the tonal character that 12" drivers are known for: warm and defined through the low end, present in the midrange, and an open and musical top end, with enough output to carry a stage without a second cabinet. At 800 watts AES and 45 lbs., it handles the full output of any Bullhead amp in a cabinet that’s easy to move.

Trickfish president Ryan Owens said, "Players who want the warmth and depth of 12" drivers at full gigging volume now have a single cabinet that gets them there. The diagonal driver placement was a deliberate choice — it supports better stage coverage without changing the cabinet's footprint, so you get more coverage without giving anything up."

· 2×12" Lavoce neodymium drivers in diagonal arrangement

· 800W AES / 3,200W peak power handling

· 8Ω impedance, 45 lbs.

· 3-way tweeter switch (High / Med / Low)

· Same footprint as the L410 — 24.5 × 22 × 15 in.


The L212 is available now at $1,449 MAP directly from www.trickfishamps.com.

In the first four decades, I played several amps and cabs. In the beginning, a Vox combo, complete with a chromed wheeled cart. Then it was a mid-sixties Bassman black face with 2x12 cab. Then an Ampeg SB12. Then a Polytone. Then an Acoustic 136. Then separate pre-amps, power amps, and cabs. In this century I gigged Euphonic Audio and Acoustic Image amps and cabs, and invested in Crazy8 and Crazy88 cabs built by Mike Arnopol, with composite cabinets with integral cup sockets for pole mounting. They've provided enough volume for any of the gigs I played before retirement, with great sound - they are the first cabs that raised the hairs on the back of my neck by producing the sound of my double bass, only louder, instead of the sound of an amplified double bass.

I hear great things about Trickfish, but I've developed a decided preference for these two small cabs, either stacked or pole mounted. The combination takes up very little floor space on stage, weigh only 33 pounds, and even on crowded stages I've been able to hear myself clearly with the upper cab aimed at my ears and the bottom cab coupled to the floor acoustically.

I've never enjoyed short cabs pointed at my knees.
