[quote name='pst62' timestamp='1327146331' post='1506909'] This gem! [media]http://youtu.be/yFX5RztG5e0[/media] [/quote] Sheesh!... I actually remember this!... from my 'Hare Krishna' days!...

Just wanted to add that I'm very pleased with my MBE cabs, after a little hiccup at the beginning of the journey.... See here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164618-new-gk-210mbe-cabs-from-thomann/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164618-new-gk-210mbe-cabs-from-thomann/[/url] It's early days but I think I am liking the Genz Benz head through them [i](over the GK1001RB)[/i] ...although both sound good.. Either way, for the money them MBE's are awesome cabs.....

Thought I'd update this.... Thomann took the cab back & sent a replacement ... It arrived very swiftly & there are no problems with it at all... This is the 1st time I have bought anything major from them & I'm thoroughly impressed with their service. swift, efficient, polite, good communications.. Can't fault them. The 2 cabs together are sounding great, although, while I waited for the replacement to arrive, I had to do 2 gigs with 1 GK & 1 aggie... which wasn't a bad combination at all! I'm liking using the Genz Benz head though the GK's as well as the 1001RB... Reckon there is a lot of mileage in different tones to be had by the various combinations of the two rigs.... Result!

Craig bought a Bushy Bison of me.... Very swift payment... Easy to deal with, no problems at all... Thanks ..

Not had any experience with 4x10 or 2x12.... but I'm quite impressed with the two 2x10 configuration. GKMBE Just in the process of sorting out sending back the slightly duffer cab of the two I had from Thomann, to be replaced... Not a huge problem, just a dodgy horn switch.... (They are very efficient at sorting problems & it's no expense to me) I'm happy with the cabs... punchy, surprisingly big bottom end!.. & so very light! For the money, can't be beat!

Thanks for the advice guys.... I've just emailed Thomann... I'm going to send the dodgy one back....

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1326629396' post='1499624'] Good to hear they worked out. The only thing I can suggest is to open the cab up and see if there is a loose connection. Personally I would want it fixed, either do it myself or get it replaced. This would be mainly to help the resale value further down the line but also it would bug the hell out of me, whether I wanted to use the horn or not. [/quote] Yeah, you've got a point.... Maybe I should just send the one cab back anyway... You know what it's like when you get a [i]feeling[/i] that something is a bit of a duffer... Never seem to be able to have full confidence in it....

Update: Did a wedding with them last night.... I was suitably impressed!... It wasn't a great room acoustically, which was a good place to trial them... Very pleased with the sound.. punchy, plenty bottom end, Stack much closer to my ears, so if things got a bit dense I could lean back & hear myself well. Good spread of bass sound around the stage too... Me likey! What to do next?... The horn seems to have cured itself of the intermittent problem... I keep them both off anyway... so as long as I don't touch the switch, I don't envisage it bothering me. But if I chose to use the horn in the future, will there be a problem? On advice of my drummer, I've just tried swapping the plastic corners over on the one cab... & the wobble is virtually gone, if I stack them one way... if I swap them, the wobble is back though... but it looks like it's the plastic feet that are causing it, not a badly put together box... Maybe I can swap more corners & cure it completely? I don't think the small scuff mark is enough justification to send back... more will inevitably appear over time anyway... Two 2x10 GK cabs for £500, that tick most of the boxes for me is indeed a bargain! I've ordered some covers from Roqsolid, these are gunna be keepers...

Just bought a BBE Opto Stomp Compressor from Jack (Currrls) ... Good communication, very easy to deal with, prompt delivery.. Everything went very smoothly... Thoroughly recommend for any future dealings... Thanks Jack

Emmett just bought a Tech 21 bass compactor off me.... incredibly quick payment, very easy to deal with... Thoroughly recommend trading with.... Cheers mate..

[quote name='ben604' timestamp='1326293448' post='1495031'] Just stumbled upon this after searching for the 212MBE, seems like a whole lotta cab for the money. You think a single 212 with some sub re-enforcement from our PA would be enough for small/medium pub gigs? [/quote] ... Well they certainly seem to be pretty loud & punchy cabs!.... & the 10's are not short of bottom end... My criticism would be that they seem a bit cheaply put together... But at that price, that's what would be expected.

[quote name='Coldflows' timestamp='1326239603' post='1494483'] Will they let you send back one if it's not broken and also been gigged? Actually they look pretty epic to be honest, I don't know much about them but them but being 'wobbly' and light cause problems when they are turned up loud? £500 sounds like a worthy investment! [/quote] The fault with the horn switch is intermittent.... which I've told them about... The only way I'm going to find out if they are going to work for me, is to try them out loud at a gig... Whether the wobble causes a problem or the horn switch situation becomes more obviously an issue at volume...etc.. I can't have them at volume in my flat, unless I want an angry mob waving torches & pitchforks outside my front door! It's a bit of a risk taking them out to a gig... I will have to look after them with kid gloves... I reckon that, because I've already reported the fault (& as long as I don't destroy them in transit!) it'll be fine sending one back to be replaced at Thomann's cost... If I find I don't actually like the cabs, I believe I will have to foot the return carriage bill myself, under the Thomann 30 day return deal... [i] (I think!) [/i] I hope they just wow me with their awesomeness

If you like the Hartke sound.... Have you tried the Hydrive range? Neo & lightweight. The HX112's are only 30lbs

I've decided to gig the cabs on the weekend, see what I think of them.... Then I'll send the one back that has the scuff & [i]now working,[/i] intermittent horn switch! I messaged Thomann & they got back to me very fast.. Saying they could arrange pick up if I require it... A/B -ing the GK's against the Aggies at home... I prefer the tone of the Aggies, to be honest... Although the GK's are pretty punchy with a fair bit of bottom end... & hopefully they will solve some live issues for me... we shall see....
