Which 212 cab to get

[adi77]

i'd go with the used bergantino.. or a TC electronic RS212

Thanks everyone, I snagged a Genz off here. Should be great!

The NX2-212? That should be a great cab. Enjoy.

Yes. Should be just what I'm looking for.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned a Whappo Jr. or a Baer ML212. Both solid 2x12's

Eden also has the relatively new D212XST Invalid Link Removed

Why any maker wouldn't do a straight over/under 212 is beyond me.

Folks have probably mentioned it already but the Aguilar db212 is all kinds of awesome. I love mine, lows for days, strong mids, with a clear high end.

There are a couple new condition Genz Benz NX2-212T cabs for sale here in the classified section. You may want to give them a look. Great cab (I love mine!) And a great deal. Just a thought.

A pretty good thought. I think .

Berg CN212 = Best of both world for me. Great form factor, light weight, great sound. I went from the Aguilar to the CN. Perfect middle of the road cab small enough (in form factor) for smaller gigs, but big enough (power handling and volume) to handle the big gigs too. Not a super deep low end, but lot's of nice tight bass, lot's of "meat" in the sound. Great mids. Very even across the spectrum!! No nasty peaks or freq bumps. I even use the tweet sometimes, and I am not a tweeter guy!

+1 on this!

I just got my Bergy and I am in love!

Ordered a CN 112 to set on top. And to use for smaller venues...

I am also gassing for a 2-12, My problem..I've the 3 Bee's of bass playing...Borrowed my Buddy's Berg...an NV 6-10...now do I want an HD... a CN...or ? an AE?
I'm looking at a SWR Bigfoot with EV's in it ...but I will still be jonsin' for the Bergantino

The CN or HD takes what was developed from the AE line and brings it into a whole nuther level of performance. The AE212 is really scooped in comparison.

The Baer is discontinued, or will be I believe.

 

[godley69]

Actually, it's just being revamped. They are going to try and make it lighter, although it's only 60 lbs. and easy for my 60 year old self to move! It's not being discontinued. Roger Baer says it's his favorite cab that he makes.

I have a Bigfoot with Eminence Neo's in it. While it cured my initial gas for a 212, I REALLY want a fEARless F212, or maybe a Bergantino. I have never played through either, but they sure seem like the best of everything I like.

Swing by any time to try out my cabs.

 

[MIMike]

I appreciate that...need to sell some stuff so that I can afford to get my be-all-end-all cab.

So, please refer to actual recording of AE212 in Post#40. Doug, IMO, "scooped" is not a good comparison. The AE212 does have more push in the low end. I can see where some players with some basses would find that not useful. For pizz with a J, I like it. But the AE is not lacking lower mids or mids if you want them; which is what I would call scooped.
