I have this Genz Benz Uber 410 I LOVE tonally, but I haven’t used it in a band context since February. It’s a ripper...full, meaty, clear, but not sterile. And it’s in fantastic shape. It doesn’t have casters, but it does have a couple of handy integrated rollers for tilting and maneuvering. They are not designed for a lot of rolling...more for around a stage. Given that it’s a 410 and I’m 6’2”, I have to hunker down a bit to do so. To straight pick it up, it’s 70 lbs.
I’ve got a 40 lb 210 I use at church, and a nice 100 watt combo, so for smaller stuff, I think I’m covered. I’ve kept my wife’s old minivan as a personal knock-around vehicle and with bass gear in mind.
All this considered, and with Covid making big cabs even more economical, is anything comparable to my Genz? If, hopefully in the future, I use a big boy for a loud/outdoor gig, it must have a towel bar or comparable tilt-n-roll apparatus. Weight is not a primary concern if I can just back it up to the van and slide it in.
I haven’t seen a Berg 610/412 in my area, even with Nashville just 2 hours away. Ampeg fridges are everywhere, some with more realistic prices than others. My HandBox would be a likely pairing. 400 watts @ 4 ohms, very tubey.
The voice in the back of my head: if I’ve got something that sounds fantastic, why risk a swap even if what I have is more cumbersome?
810, 610, 412, and 215’s are all on the table for a potential swap, i.e. something tall enough to tilt and roll easily, plus (presumably) added dB’s.
