PeteS Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I am currently using a 210MBE with the MB500, but want a bit more volume. So, what's a good cab to pair up with the MB500? Cheers, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I used Schroeder cabs with my MB500 and MB Fusion 500 and found them to be a very good pairing. Schroeders are very powerful, but do have a low-mid "hump". This of course can be eq-d out. I also used the MB500 with an Ampeg SVT410HE and that was very nice too.

discreet Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Agree with Lozz, I use a 4-ohm Schroeder 21012L with my G-K MB500 Fusion and it's very good indeed, though this cab has far less of a 'mid-hump' than the 1212L I had previously. It's always worth having a look at the Barefaced Bass website too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouns Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 IMHO the GK heads sound better with GK cabs. It's only a matter of taste. did you try a GK 212 neo? I really enjoyed this cab as a stand alone, even under 8 ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Check out onehappybunny's recent post - he tried the MB800 recently and was looking for some new cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehappybunny Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I liked both the TKS 112's and Berg CN112's with the GK MB's. Two of these would be pretty loud. TKS more of a mid's / high mid's bump, Bergs more low mids bump, but both EQ'able with the powerful GK MB EQ. Both do other options if you need more volume. Schroeder and Barefaced also well worth a look, as mentioned above. I went for the 2 x TKS S112 in the end, balancing cost, portability, quality, volume etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteS Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for the ideas, great help. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanditSid Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The GK Neo 410 cab is a great match with my MB800, I'd imagine it would be just as good with the 500 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm using a GK MB212 with my 500 Fusion, I've only used it with that though so I can't say whether it's the best cab for ithe. I like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I use my MB500 with a Barefaced Super Twin. I've only used it at a couple of rehearsals and it is way too loud (in the best sort of way) for rock drummer/guitarist vocalist! :-) Very clear and punchy. Far better than my previous cab (Peavey 410TVX) with the MB500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) I believe they were suggested to be paired up with the MBE series cabs, of which I have the MBE-II 4x10 version. Neo speakers, 800watt power handling, super light and compact dimensions with more punch than any cab I've experienced to date. Really hits like a hammer. The cab definitely has that signature aggressive presence that GK are famed for. Edited April 9, 2015 by 40hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musashimonkey Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sounds good with two Berg 112's and sounds GREAT with my Big Baby 2 from Barefaced! Loving the GK mb range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Berg CN112s x2 or Berg CN212 or Vanderkley 112MNTs x2 or Vanderkley 112EXT x2. Hope you have your wallet handy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
