What bass rig?

Best bang for what budget? Even if it isn't a hard line throw us a bone

 

Oh, that's easy.

For Sale - Mesa Subway D-800 ***Price Drop***


For Sale - Genz Benz Neox 212t TOLEX 4ohm $600 Shipped

Seems to me a great combination and under budget.

 

For the head, that Mesa will do you nicely. I'd look locally for cabs if you can, save on the shipping.

 

Cab price is shipped. Good luck finding one of those for 600 cash and carry! Even including shipping, you're under budget on that rig.



Edit....
Full disclosure here; there is indirectly something in it for me. I don't need that cab but that price has me GAS ing. Somebody save me from myself and buy it before I do.

 

+1 for the Genz Benz 212.
I wanted one but couldn't find one locally.
Amp: depending on how loud you guys are, I'd suggest a minimum of 500 watts.
Mesa are a favourite amp here on TB but I'm yet to find one I liked.
I'd suggest a Genz Benz GBE750, although hardly lightweight, it'd be great with the suggested cab.

 

Grab that GB 212 and that Mesa Subway. Amazing combo. I'd buy that 212 myself but I already have 2 of them

 

And 2nd'd

 

My light solution is a Behringer BDI21 V Tone preamp/DI pedal and play though the PA.

 

Let’s go shopping!!! I love spending other peoples money
$1800 for a pair (112 and/or 115’s) of the best cabs you can get your hands on and $200 for whatever amp you will find and a Di cable for FOH.

 

Whether you can go to FOH and just have a rig for stage monitoring is a real consideration. If stage volume is under control, you don't need all that much.

 

Honestly... there's ANOTHER 2x12 Genz Benz Cab in Tennesse.

For Sale/Trade - Genz-Benz NX2 212T 2x12 cabinet 212 cab

I say grab them BOTH. 4x12.

 

Tight funky Punchy Bass: GK Legacy 500/800 with CX410 (or 2 CX210's) these cabs weigh only slightly more than their Neo counterparts but are a bit less expensive.


Fat warm thick - Aguilar Tone hammer 500 - Aguilar SL 212's Cab

There are alot of thee around used so you could get the head for somewhere close to 500 used.

These are two of my favorites depending on the music I am playing.

 

You want this bro.



Or just the 112 instead of the 212

 

I really didn't need to see that...

 

99.9 % of the audience could care less what kind of gear you're playing. Your rig will sound the same to them. So it's either ego-nomics or ergonomics.

My $0.02:

Mesa or Aguilar head. Rock solid tone and repair is straightforward. 500 watts or so.
2 matching lightweight 112 or 210 cabs. Lugging really heavy gear just to post pictures will lose it's luster.
Any decent Class D amp for a spare. 300-500 watts.
A solid DI pedal (again, Mesa or Aguilar would be a good place to start) in case you just need to go through FOH.

 

Hahaha. It's only 40lbs dude. Nothing a push cart can't handle

If you have a PA, the micro vr stack is awesome. So are rb112/115 combos
