Barefaced Big Twin 2, worth the upgrade from my 4x12 rig?
IanA replied to Ruck's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Ruck' timestamp='1446070204' post='2896742'] Yeah I kind of have a on going back problem myself, even though the Neo212s are 25kg, the shape of them means I am constantly turning them in hand to get through doorways which is not ideal for my back. Putting them down, rotating them and lifting them up again is too much hassle [/quote] That will probably be the case with any tall or wide cab, I even feel it to some degree twisting my CN212 into the boot of my car. Modular is probably your best solution to sort out that issue or a trolley(no good for upstairs gigs) -

IanA replied to Ruck's topic in Amps and Cabs
In what way are you currently not hearing your sound accurately, changing a cab will no doubt change your sound but I am not sure that spending money on gear is the answer. GK gear is renowned for cutting through the mix extremely well and is used to great effect by many players, how do you eq you bass and amp? Do you play on hollow stages without a gramma pad? Do you often play in corners of rooms? If you can experiment with what you have you may save yourself some ££££ -
[quote name='owen' timestamp='1446132827' post='2897203'] I am in Bangor, North Wales, so We would both need to make a 5 hour round trip [/quote] Could meet 1/2 way in an evening maybe? Google says just over 3 hrs either way -
[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1446052713' post='2896552'] Has to be. And given that in the SE Bass Bash the CN212 was the runaway winner as the fave (a selction which included Schroeder, Markbass, Barefaced to name but a few) this is a steal. [/quote] Thanks for the big up. The CN212 really is an amazing cab, great sound and amazing build quality.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1446112923' post='2896928'] it is a shame that Leicester is so far from me. [/quote] Where abouts are you? I am happy to meet part way, obviously if you are at lands end it might be a problem lol!

[quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1446089254' post='2896845'] I knew this would happen! Spent ages waiting for one which never appeared, so I buy a Vanderkley 212, and lo and behold, a couple of weeks after this comes up. Just my luck! Oh well. My loss is somebody elses gain! GLWTS pal. [/quote] Vanderkley 212 is totally kick ass, great sound and great quality. Hope it works for you

Another smooth transaction with Rich, just bought a Vanderkley 112mnt from him. Item as described and great price. Makes a change for me to be buying from you this time Rich! Many thanks for meeting up with me in Melton, it is always a pleasure to see you. Ian

Copy of purchase receipt added from Bass Direct Feb 2015 Lots of interest so far but no takers....
-
Surely this is the cheapest CN212 going?
-
Thanks for the comments guys. It really is an amazing cab, probably the best one cab solution out there (for sensible volumes)

Sold Vanderkley 112MNT @8 ohm's + cover Photo's Added On Hold
IanA replied to richardd's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi Rich Might be interested in this Do you know how old the cab is and are you the original owner? -
Nice cabs, I remember trying some at Bass Direct and they kicked ass big time. I might have taken them off you had you been interested in trades other than the mnt version Glwts

Some pics added🙈

CN212 for sale with Bergantino padded cover in great condition, weighs only 20kgs, 700 watts @4 ohms. Tone to die for.... Well almost anyway There is some superficial marking to the Tolex on the back of the cab from my trolley, there is also some scuffing on the bottom of the cab as would be expected. I have used this cab live many times at very sensible volumes, it is working perfectly and has been well cared for. Based in Leicester and must be collected or I can meet part way I am the original owner, purchased from Bass Direct. Only trade would be for a Vanderkley 112mnt 600 watt or 210mnt

SOLD Pending - Bergantino HS410 + Padded Berg Cover
IanA replied to harvey1-8's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1445293791' post='2890431'] Nice cab at what seems like a good price for a Berg... ! GLWTS [/quote] This cab is everything that a 4x10 should be, brutally loud, punchy and crystal clear. They sound great with a good micro but cry out for a big old school power section😎 -
[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1445191849' post='2889500'] I've been using one for few months now. It's easily loud enough for a rehearsal with a loud rock drummer. Good deep tight bass, not at all honky. Also it's really easy to transport around on a trolly. It is not as good as the pair of 112s it replaced but its always a trade off with size vs power. I'm more than happy with it but I'd want another if gigging without PA support. [/quote] Nice, what amp are you using with it?
-
I would be interested in trying one but would probably never buy one as the CN212 is only slightly heavier and not much more money. It comfortably covers any gig that I play from quiet to loud with tone that is just incredible, it really is the best one cab solution for all but those who play at Sensible volume levels.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1444475039' post='2883509'] Awesome cabs these - in the recent SE Bass Bash Cab Shootout the CN212 was the runaway winner (and was up against Barefaced/Schroeder/Markbass etc, so good competition). Bargain at this price. [/quote] Surely not😂

No fan, never overheats, great little amp😍

I have the Puma 500, it is an amazing amp with more than enough power for me, it is very honestly rated. I changed from a TH500 and would not go back, this amp is deep controlled and clean. The taste control will let you dial vintage type tone if required but if you are looking for grit then look elsewhere. Paired with a CN212 it is comfortably my favourite rig to date.

NAD and NCD- warning heavy old Ampeg content
IanA replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Amps and Cabs
Nice rig that will move some air -
Stunning -
This looks a really nice amp, I am sure that with Andy being involved in its design it will be a great piece of kit. It is about the only thing at the moment that might tempt me away from the Puma!

The AE410 is well known for being a punchy cab with a present but very well controlled low end. when I owned mine a few years back I thought it was great in a busy mix as it didn't try to compete with the sub lows that the keys were producing. I sold as I prefer the 212 form factor over the 410.
