I bought this cab and the e500 together. I had never even heard or seen Darkglass anything in person, so I was just going off YouTube and Facebook pages for reviews and info. I had an old Hartke 115 and Peavey 210 with a dinosaur Peavy hybrid head and it was all pretty worn and haggard, and HEAVY. Plus I just couldn’t get the sound I wanted. So I started by ordering a new bass first, Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V. Then the search for a new rig was on. I was eyeing Aguilar and Darkglass online for a few months.I was reluctant about the e500 because I didn’t think 500 watts would be enough, and it was “only” one 212. So I ordered them, they showed up, and my world changed. I’ll just focus on the 212 for the sake of where this review is. My first gig with the 212 was an outdoor dance and I didn’t think I had enough rig for the gig. Well, the 212 absolutely blew everyone away, myself included. The lows were deep, the mids were super punchy and rich, and the highs were crisp. Nothing sounded muddy or distorted from being overpowered or over eq’d. Next gig was a bar gig indoors. It filled the room and cut through the mix supremely. I got compliments all night about how good the bass sounded and my little cabinet was freaking incredible.It’s visually appealing, the control for the tweeter on the back has come in handing for fine tuning my tone, and it’s super light! This cabinet fits in the back of my BMW 335i with all my other gear. All in all I am super pleased… read more with this cabinet. It hits way above its class and exceeded all expectations. If you’re on the fence about it, trust me when I say this thing will not let you down.
