Huge apologies for the confusion. Upon further review, I would have to agree with you - it looks like GK accidentally shipped me the wrong cab for this shoot & concert. Very embarrassing...

Suffice it to say that the Neo 212 sounds phenomenal as well, and is the cabinet that I own and use all the time. I guess I'll start checking from now on to make sure that I get the right one! :^)

Blessings- Norm

Is that intro song an original. Or is that being marketed? If so what's the name of the song?

[normstockton]

Hey josa90- Thanks for your interest. It's actually a hidden bonus track on my Pondering the Sushi CD called "Veggie Soup". It is available on iTunes, as well.

Hi Norm, do you use the 4 ohm or 8 ohm Neo 212 cab? I love the compactness/portability of this rig, it really sounds quite brilliant with your MTD. Diggin' your grooves as always. "The Race" is still one of my all time favourite jazz funk tracks.

[normstockton]

Thanks palooka4u! I use the 8 ohm version. Yes, the MTD/GK combination works really well...

[chingis000]

The neo's he is playing are 410

[normstockton]

Hey chingis000-

Actually, it's a bit of an optical illusion; the cab in the video is definitely a Neo 212. It's the cab I use most of the time.

[arroyomusic]

Why does he bug you? He seems like such a nice guy!

[diamonddust22]

Grifff0 no he states he is using 2 - 12's

[imorales242]

[CirrusSmith]

Norm,

I have really been blessed by your Grooving For Heaven DVD series, various online videos and your Pondering the Sushi CD. Do you have any chord charts and/or lead sheets available for "1412" and "Giavonna Marie" ?

Thanks Norm and God Bless!!!

Hey Norm, you use the 212 with 115. Doesn't the 115 run out of headroom while you could still push the 212? I read that it's best to mix two of the same cabs for that reason, so you can push them both equally without one of them starting to fart out. How does the 115 212 combo work? They got different specs and wattage. Thanks! (ps. asking this because I'm interested in trying your combination with my 700RB II)

[TheMinderasor]

Hey Norm, I bought Pondering the sushi. Great playing! Im looking into getting that 212 neo. Have you ever combined it with a neo 210 or anything else? Seems to be loud on its own though. Oh, and have you ever tried the MB500 or MB800?? greetings from montreal.

[chingis000]

I knew it was a 410 cab.

[cestapassu]

@normstockton Hi Norm, in Italy there are no 212 4 ohm. Shops owner say to me there is an error in the web site of GK 'cause neo 212 4 ohm doesn't exist. What do you think about it?

[tricky50414]

Hey Norm, thanks for the great videos and tips. I have the 700RB-II paired with an old GK 410 cab (400w@8ohm) that I've decided is more volume than I need and is really heavy. If I sell the cab and get the NEO 212 for the weight drop, will I be sacrificing any tone? What can I expect? More importantly, will I be able to still cut through easily playing w/ a drummer?

[riclove8700]

what strap is that, if u don't mind me asking, i just bought ur album by the way, fantastic 

[DuxJerome]
