The new trace elliot 208 cab uses the same drivers!....may be an option?

I have tried these basses, and very good they are!.....great build, great hardware and sound really good

I like the fact, that you can adjust the bass and treble voicing.

I recently bought a genz benz 212 cab from Nik, even though the poor cab suffered at the hands of UPS ( broken castor and tweeter not working).....this was not down to Nik's packing !!....Anyway Nik was good enough to pay for a pair of new castors and i fixed the tweeter with two bulb fuses and all is fine and dandy Nik is an absolute gent and a diamond geezer and i certainly would deal again.....Highly recommended. Cheers Nik, All the best.

defo go with an smx head as the dual compressor is great, 250 trace watts = 500 class D

Bought my musicman stingray new in 1979 and still here...all be it, pretty road worn !

Just received some strings from Jon, just the ticket!....good comms and top geezer.

Cheers for the comments folks!........any others?...how does a pair of ext's or mnt's compare to a reasonable 410 etc I would be using cabs with a markbass LM 2 and markbass SD 800.

Just wondering if there is any real world advantage to going for the higher spec mnt over the lesser ext?....it seems to me the ext's used as a pair could handle most gigs, i would assume the 212 mnt is the same but in one cabinet!...and from what i have read, never seem to be found wanting.

I tend to favour front ported cabs!...but wondered if front ported cabs project better, and would this be beneficial to what the audience would hear, or does it make little difference?

I had a through neck thumb from this era, and with a set of 45-105 roundwound strings the truss rod was on max and still too much relief for me.

yet another vote for cort!....i have a cort arona...sandberg collaboration ironically, and a cracking bass to boot.

Little mark 2/3 all the way, i find mine as loud as the streamliner 900 i used to own.

I replaced the drivers in my aguilar gs112 with eminence kappalite 3020ho with frankly poor results.....leave well alone imho

Cool!.....making a great bass greater.

Love the thought and design that go into barefaced cabs, but just can't live with 9mm plywood, i have not heard of many failures though!.....just me i suppose!
