Avatar B212 Cabinet

2 Eminence Delta LF 12" and a Foster Compression horn, horn level control, 2 1/4" jacks. Fully carpeted, deep recessed handles, steel grill, plastic corners. The 8 ohm cab handles 1000 watts and is tuned to 50 hz, with -3db at 50 hz. I play a variety of music, including Rock, Funk, and some Jazz.

I play mostly a Fender Jazz with passive pickups into a Gallien-Krueger BL250 which I use as a pre-amp only to drive a Nady XA900 power amp @ 400 watts. The sound is full, clean, accurate. Not boomy or mushy at all. The highs are very high with the tweeter level all the way up.

I just received the amp 3 days ago. When I unpacked it I found everything to be in order. It was well packed and all screws were tight. This will be the only cab I gig with.

I called Dave twice and emailed him another question before making my decision to buy this cab. He was very helpful on the phone and quick to respond to my email. The warranty is a full year with a 14 day return for refund policy.

THE VERY BEST CAB for the money you can get!

2003 Avatar 2-12 cabinet loaded with Eminence Delta LF 12's and a Foster tweeter. 1000 watts @ 4 ohms. It has 2 1/4inch jacks in the back, as well as an adjustable level control for the tweeter. As other reveiwers have stated, a Speakon jack would be nice but for the price...no worries.

Fender Jazz basses with Bartolini pickups. It handles the full range of my basses very very well. No noise to speak of, outside of the normal hiss one gets if you crank the tweeter up. As any tweeter will hiss if you crank it, this isn't an issue really. The 12's dish out some fantastic low end- astounding sub frequencies, great fundamental and punchy mids. No distortion or break-up here- just pure bass tone.

I've owned this cabinet for a month and have played 10 gigs on it and done 2 recording sessions with it. So far, so good.

Dave the sales rep. is awesome- polite, knowledgeable, and eager to make the customer happy. Should I ever have a problem with the cabinet, I'm confident he'll make things right.

As semi-pro (and sometimes pro) bass player for 17 years, I've tried and/or owned nearly every kind of bass cabinet out there. For the money, these cabinets put Ampeg, SWR, Eden, Hartke to shame. Really. The Avatar B212 reproduces the sound of my Fender Jazz basses and Ashdown head in the most ideal way. Granted, tastes are subjective...but I'm really really pleased with the Avatar. Great cabinet! Love it.

New 212 Eminence Deltas with adjustable Foster horn in a front ported cab. Would be great to have banana jacks or twist lock connectors but the 1/4 inch does the job.

I play a wide variety from blues to hard rock and use a Warwick Streamer LX-4 with active pickups. The amp is an SWR SM-400S. The volume and fullness of the sound has to be heard to be believed! I've never been a fan of 15's and always thought that 10's lacked bottom, 12's are a perfect solution. You get the bottom of a 15 with the clarity and ballsiness of 10's in a single, relatively portable package (70 pounds.) This Avatar 212 was purchased based a lot on the reviews given other Avatars on this website. I couldn't have made a better choice. As I told Dave at Avatar "talk about bang for the buck, this is more like a nuclear explosion!" The 212 has all the bottom I could ever want and with the horn, can get as bright as I'll ever possibly need. At 700 watts power handling, and the efficiency of the front ported cabinet, it is certainly loud enough and if I need more, well I guess I'll just get another one! I've been playing bass for more than 25 years and have owned Eden, Ampeg, Swr, Fender, Hartke, and others and truly believe that the Avatar 212 is at least equal to any of them in sound quality and build. I know many out there will argue with that but this cabinet is the closest to "my sound" that I have ever been. Hats off to you Dave, I personally think you have a winner!

Cab is brand new with a 14 day return policy and a 1 year warranty. Is built as sturdy as any other cab on the market and better than most. Unless it falls out of the back of my truck, I can't see why I would ever have to worry about its reliability but then again, I've not had it long enough to worry so I can only give it a 9!

I have been in contact with Dave via e-mail and he has been exceptionally professional and courteous. Has responded to each e-mail promptly and has allowed me to express some personal ideas to him. Dave is a true credit to his business in an age where Customer Service seems to be an oxymoron.

As stated above, I've been playing for over 25 years and have been through my share of equipment. I believe that if this cab were stolen, I'd cuss alot then go buy another. Its sound matches my style perfectly and while I would love to have two, I can't see really needing one becasue of its volume and power handling. Didn't get the casters with mine but will definitely be installing a set! If you aren't a slave to name-brands and are simply looking for the best sound you can have, then I would highly recommend giving an Avatar a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

2 12 inch eminence delta lf speakers rated at 350 watts each and horn with adjustable level. 2 1/4 inch input jacks. Front ported. Carpet covered with 2 sturdy handles. Optional $9 casters. 8 ohm.

I was very anxious to receive this cabinet. I have always liked the idea of the versatility of 2 12's. Well, it buzzed a fluttered a lot when I first tried it out. I had heard about Avatar's having loose speakers and sure enough they all needed tightening. After this the sound tightened up a lot. I seems to ve a very effecient cabinet (compared to my Edens) and puts out a lot of volume with a B2R head. It will handle the B string as long as the bass is not cranked. It really carries the mids and highs well without the tweeter on. When teamed with an Eden 115T it sounds even better. For smaller gigs and practice it will work well all by itself. Very impressive for the price.

Brand new. The speaker screws (wood screws) needed tightening. I emailed Dave and asked if i could replace the screws with bolts and not void the warranty and he promptly replied that it was okay to do that. He also appoligized about the loose screws.

See above. Dave always replies quickly.

I have been playing 30+ years and wanted a 1 cabinet soulution without breaking my back or wallet. I have been using an Eden 115T and 210XLT paired up. I think the 115 and 212 give more volume and BASS. At about 70 lbs. it is a little heavy but the casters help. I would buy from Avatar again if another cabinet is needed.
