Sarlscharisma Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I’ve got an Ampeg v4b RI and considering partnering it with a 212 SVT cab. I’m fairly used to moving a Barfaced two10 to and from rehearsals, so my main concern is how portable and easy it is to move given that it is bigger and heavier. Question is, is it a one man job to move or is it doable to shift in an out of a hatchback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I’d say it depends on how high the lip to the hatchback is, 66lbs lifted over a high lip, may be awkward. Also whether or not the cab will fit in that space at all. Certainly on my last Astra hatchback a Barefaced Super12 was the largest cab that would fit. A regular square shaped cab had no chance, and again that was down to the height of the lip. Imo though it’s def doable to move about by one person, I shift my Ashdown ABM410 on my own and that’s 10lbs heavier - and for reference I’m in my 50s. Stick some castors on it, nice and easy.

Sarlscharisma Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 66lbs sounds a reasonable amount of weight, so I think shape of it will be a factor. I think it’ll fit in my Golf ok with seats down, its more humphing it in and out. Any one experience with this particular amp and moving it about?

Stealth Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yep I had that very rig. As above detacable castors help then you head bung the head on too and whell the lot into a venue. Its lighter than most 4 x10 altogh about the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlscharisma Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Received it yesterday on a trial basis. It’s more shape the weight that the makes it tricky to shift around. It will be fine for gigs but lugging to rehearsals every week is probably not a goer. on a separate note, this thing is loud. I was very surprised that it is more powerful than my Two10. I’m sure that if I put both my Two10s together that will change. Tone wise the Two10 has is better in a solo setting, but maybe a different story in the mix?

Stealth Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The BF 210 is quite soft IMHO unless you dial in s bit of grit which is kinda the idea I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlscharisma Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 The 212 is certainly more in your face and I would say hits you in the gut. But the tone of BF is magical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
