I guess the good news for satisfied Genz-Benz customers is that if you combine the new Genzler amplification cabs with the Mesa Subway D-800 (designed by Andy) its still the same trusted people designing your gear. Its as if nothing has changed.... ;-)

Really interested in this also. I contacted the UK distributor and it seems the amp is unlikely to make an appearance before 2016 in the UK.

Has there be an announcement by now who the dealers are going to be in the UK?

[/quote] I would be surprised if that price stands for long though. Doug mentioned it to be in the same ballpark as the B7K. When Thomann introduced the B7K they sold for a short time around £250 but then it went up by £40-50 more in line with what it costs elsewhere. I am just guessing - but now might be a good time to pre-order this if you were thinking of getting one.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1386228053' post='2297353'] Just for the record, I am absolutely loving my new NX2 212T. Reasonably portable and light. Beautifully balanced sound which responds very well to EQ. Very pleased I went for it. [/quote] [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1386229647' post='2297363'] Very pleased with mine too. [/quote] +1

[quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1385884767' post='2293090'] Are these cases (protec / mono) strong enough for air travel? Or is a proper hard case/ flight case preferable? [/quote] The Protec would be fine as long as you'd manage get it on the plane as carry-on luggage imo. However If you have to check in your bass its a different story. I would be very nervous about the outcome of airline baggage handling using any hybrid case.

I guess you should be fine if you haven't heard from them by now (see below). That said I found their performance on my first occasion dealing with them less than stellar. I phoned GAK about availability Friday and was told there are a few left on the batch. I placed an order straight away. However my order got cancelled a few hours later. They then said they ran out of stock earlier in the day. At that time they still had the cab up on their site for sale. Anyways not too bothered - I know I am now in capable hands ;-) and would have gone down the Bass Direct route anyways if the option would have been avail Friday.

The NX2-212T seems now in stock at Bass Direct for £399.

Nice demo video from Mesa now up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b3tgaUcMBc

There is a demo video of a prototype of Spencer's (3Leaf Audio) upcoming Fuzz [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EMJJmjDWCU[/media]

Pre-order price for the Duality Fuzz from Bass Direct is £195 - http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Darkglass_Duality.html

I personally prefer using a few pedals (comp, EQ, OD) to do most of the tone shaping these days and DI where needed. Main reason is that I often play in rehearsal spaces with rented backlines that are all different so that I only use the power section of the amp to avoid too much additional colouration. That way I don't have to waste too much time finding a setup that works for me.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1369651932' post='2091181'] But, if up to this point you`ve liked the OTB, maybe adding in the Sansamp VT Pedal would be an answer. Use the OTB essentially as a power amp, get the Ampeg tone/breakup from the VT. [/quote] This. I think the VT DI version should be out soon.

Very interesting and GAS-inducing ;-) What is your impression how well the CN112 (single or pair) would work with the Markbass Big Bang? I think in an earlier post you mentioned the Big Bang to match well with the CN212.
