Have you ever tried the GB 212T neox?

If yes what are your opinions?

[Bass Whisperer TV]

Yes, I've been using one for many years. Awesome cab! I love a vertical 212, you can really hear yourself, not too heavy, and handles a lot of power.

I'm surprised you haven't developed horrible hand problems with that poor bent right wrist position.. or maybe you have

ouch it hurts to look at...

[Bass Whisperer TV]

Don't look at it.

While I have had issues with hand pain in the past, I've been able to play without pain for years in spite of my poor bent wrist position... the key is tension. Stay relaxed and everything works. Get tense, tighten up... and it doesn't matter how good your hands look.

Well, for being cheapness personified I loved that Eggmond (Did I write that right? ._.)

[Bass Whisperer TV]

I love that bass! I got it back in the early 80's and used it for many years until the Arizona heat took it's toll. I found a parts bass and finally got it put back together and it sounds as good as new.

[Bass Whisperer TV]

- No, but they write them. Yes, it's not a secret that I get paid for my work. Genz Benz likes what I do, so they consistently hire me to produce demos of their new gear. And I'm happy about that because I love their amps, I have used them since 2004, exclusively since 2008, and have no desire to change that.

Hey Ed...do you know if there are any plans for Genz Benz to make a 2x12 Focus?

[BurningOver666]

i want that set up so bad really wish i had the cash for it =[

[Wabaanimkii]

I've been enjoying your channel very much. I'm currently trying to teach myself bass guitar. since I'm transferring from drums I have absolutely no fret dexterity but I make up in rhythm. Hopefully I can learn to be good rather than doing "at leasts"

[Diego Perez]

Hello I would like to know what the brand of the Yellow Bass, the 5 string, Thanks :)

[chesterbe76]

i really don't want ant to sound annoying but....

im playing in a post punk/indie/britpop/punk band and i'm looking for a good amp which is loud enough for band rehearsals and small gigs(bars and small venues with a pa)

[bigbass421]

Hi Ed! GREAT reviews, FAR better than any other bass gear reviews on Y.T.. I'm a bass repairman in Reno, just to watch them die. LOL! Partly because of your review- I just bought a mint, second hand Shuttle 9.0. I will not really have the opportunity to try this as it should be used- as the next few gigs I have will be upright- MB150 gigs. I love the Walter Woods-Acoustic Image lightness of it. The sounds that you get here are amazing. I would have liked to hear a string bass through it.

[Matt Johnson]

This is a really good sounding cab. It sounds amazing with that Streamliner 900. $600 bucks?  Sign me up.

[Chris Cole]

Hey Ed, how would you compare the uber 4x10 to the focus 4x10 with both of the tweets off? Your samples are always great, I just was wishing that you had done one with roundwounds, fingerstyle with the tweet off and maybe adjusted the highs a bit. The focus 4x10 is the only "production" cab that I have been interested in, in a long time.

[rainbownorth]

I'll second that Ed! I own both the focus 4x10 and the streamliner 900, and they sound like butter baby! Power to burn and it makes my ray34 sterling sound like the real deal. I couldnt be happier. And I gotta admit, I pretty much got sold on the GB poducts from your reviews. So thanks a bunch, job well done!

[Nick Marko]

Hey Ed, have you ever used Mesa Boogie amps or at least have opinions about them because I have my eye a walkabout 1x15 combo amp: please and thank you.
