212 cab

[BassAdder60]

Looking for recommendations for a good 212 4ohm cab that’s not Barefaced kind of price 

 

Ideally not heavy and it would be used as a single gigged cab 

 

In the past I’ve owned Ampeg SVT212AV which ok but so heavy 

Vanderkley 212 was lovely ( should of kept it ) 

 

Any suggestions ??

One of the best 212 cabs I've heard/owned was a Bergantino CN212. A fantastic tone.

 

I believe there's a Berg HD212, an evolution of the CN cabs, in the classifieds. IMO well worth checking out.

This is the one @chris_b mentioned - a flipping bargain and hopefully relatively close:

2nd hand Schroeder 212

I used to have a Zilla 2x12 which was great. Not Barefaced light, but still manageable. 

 

Completely customisable and the guys there were spot on.

I think it’s around 35kg weight ? 
 

Thats heavier than my SVT212AV cab which was 30kg

Balls, didn’t know that!

[BassAdder60]

It would be perfect but at 35kg it’s just too much for me these days 

 

I saw the Darkglass DG212 is 19kg but I’m not paying £900 !

GR Bass AT212 if you can find one cheap. And there's one for £50 less than £900. https://reverb.com/uk/item/86885913-gr-bass-at-212-slim-carbon-fibre-2020s-carbon-fibre

Collection only Telford but again I don’t want to spend circa £900 

Target price ( secondhand ) £450 ish

The best you can hope for is a really cheap pair of single 12 cabs that you can manage with a trolley and separate lifting.

Genz NX212 or Neox212 cabs pop up occasionally around your budget. That's what I would go for I think

On a rare side, alusonic 212 with a tweeter. Around 18 kg.

Heard the Neox212 in action and thought it sounded great. They were very highly thought of, and a lot more affordable than many mentioned here.

A Schroeder 212 or Genz Benz NX212 ate the 2 cabs I have used.

 

Both great cabs, but very different as well.

 

The only thing is finding one, unfortunately.

+1 for the Genz Benz NeoX 212 I love mine, I paid £350 secondhand around 3 years ago, the top handles are a little awkward for lifting into a high truck but at about 20kgs it is managable, built in casters. Tweeter is variable and the cab is rated at 600w @4 Ohms. I had a Barefaced cab which I sold soon after getting the Genz

A few years back I had a Markbass 212, can`t remember the model number but it was a very good sounding cab, and as expected, nice and light/portable. Worth checking out if one comes up.

There is the MarkBass MB58R 122 P 4 ohm 600w cab at around £600 new 

 

Not sure if it’s any good ?

 

Im using two MB58R 102 Energy cabs but fancy a standalone single 212 cab 

[cetera]

As many others have already said, look for a GenzBenx Neox212 or NX212.

 

A Barefaced beater and fantastic sounding. Can't go wrong.

62lb is 28kg, light enough?

Nope sadly that’s too heavy, ideally circa 20kg is my aim or less

A Berg CN212 apparently weighs 22kg
