Genz benz

Post by Bearstripes »

Cabs any good?

I got a Line on a 1x15 and 4x10 for stupid cheap. Gonna do it but not picking them up til this weekend. Never used them and can't find much info. They are older models I believe. Any one have any thought?

I used to share a practice space with someone who had the same configuration for bass. Idk the actual models of each. I never used them personally but their tone was always good for their skramz band.

The bassist in my old band used this set up and it sounded pretty good. The cabs seemed to be very high quality and solid in construction. The head itself seemed a bit underpowered for super heavy applications.

State Faults. It was just a couple month overlap where they were moving out of the room and we were moving in.

Ah ok. My old band used to play with some screamo bands from Santa Rosa area and thought maybe it was someone that I knew. That was hella years ago though so it was a long shot. On a related topic (but not related to the topic of this thread) ...City of Caterpillar in Santa Rosa next month!

Yeah I still throw on their resonate/desperate album every so often. They have a new thing going called Slow Bloom (same people plus another guitar player) and it's great. I think this'll be more clear on their upcoming album, but lots of cool ATDI vibes.

I didn't even know about the City of Caterpillar show! I'll definitely be there.

Sorry to derail the Genz Benz question... :facepalm:
