GK Neo 212 - who knew?

[Wicked G]

I hate my GK212 Neo, bought new, never gigged always low volume.

farts all the time if bass is barely boosted, low gain, low volume....new batteries different cords.
can not do a low a...

Finally went in the garage last night and dug out my ancient GK210 backline combo. No farts with tons of bass boost, high gain, high volume not a problem. Low A was great.

Mines going on crags list this weekend

Maybe it's not farting, but sounds like it? Have you tried checking all the screws to the speakers and the grill? Or checking to see if the handles are rattling? Or maybe even the GK or NEO logo could be vibrating? Although I don't own a NEO 212, I have played them before and have not experienced this, that's why I am offering some recommendations.

I do own the NEO 410 and NEO 112 and I don't experience any farting on either of those cabs as well. Hopefully it is a simple solution that you can find before getting rid of it.

I had one of the rare-ish 4ohm 212-IIs. The best cab I've ever had. Then I "retired" from playing out. I wish I knew who ended up with it, because I'd make them a serious offer of it.

Here's my 212mbe (first series with the piezo tweeters (that i don't use anyway)) neo stack with a mb800. The cabs weigh 34# each.

I have two of the 112 and two of the 212.
I usually use the MBF500; but one can run all of them with a D800+.

After all the love I've seen for this cab, I think I'm gonna just bite the bullet and order one with the intention of eventually adding another. The main reason that I've ignored the GK Neo cabs is that I don't like the silver grills. I'll just get them painted black (or red if I feel silly).

Well I went red!! Had my neo 115 powder coated red metallic.

Grills;
I scotch brite’d mine and shot them black.

The Plasti-dip is a good idea too.

The 412 is a monster. I run an old 800RB thru it. It brings the thunder!

That is a really good idea. I have been wanting to do the NEO 112 grill also, but have been putting it off because the NEO 410 was a pain and I'm lazy. I like this idea a lot.

I find that most GK cabs sound really good with Mesa heads, as well as with GK heads.

You guys... I'm having really bad GAS... what can I take for it?

You could take out your credit card and try a little acquisition therapy...it's good for the soul, but hard on the bank account.

Need a small club rig that will cover the basses? Here ya go.

I like that Elf on the shelf!

That's a great little combo of gear. I rocked it for tonight's show in a small club with foh support. Tomorrow night I'll be running the full stack with my RB head. Regardless of the amp, those cabs sound great! The Elf has a fuller, meaty tone where the 400RB has a great growl. Both sound really good in their own with those cabs!
