thats just the thing. i've got no experience with anything other than what ive owned in the past. all i'm going on is a few good words on here. and ive only just realised, there seems to be alot of threads on here lately about the GK MBE cabs...... oops.

Well chaps, i could do with a few opinions if you don't mind. My back is telling me to get a new cab. At the moment i'm playing a trace v-type head through an old marshall jubilee 4x10 which weighs around about the same as a small planet. the amp only puts out 280w @ 4 ohms, but through this cab i've never really felt lacking. although in the near future i do see myself going for something like a LMII or shuttle 6.0. basically, originally i was looking for any lighter weight solution that will still give me the oomph i need in a dual guitar blues rock band. i've browsed for a bit on the classifieds, considered barefaced bass and matamp, but i just can't afford £500+ at the moment. well these GK MBE series cabs have caught my eye. both the 2x12 and the 4x10 around the same weight (20kg) similar sized and can take a good amount of power, 600 for the 2x12 and 800 for the 4x10. and what caught my eye most is the price, both come in at under £350, which for a lightweight cab seems very cheap. long story short, has anyone tried out either of these cabs? or even if you haven't played them, any input on the 4x10 vs 2x12 debate? heres the 2 cabs in question: http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Gallien-Krueger-410MBE-Bass-Amp-Cabinet-4-ohm~ID~15019.asp http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Gallien-Krueger-212MBE-Bass-Amp-Cabinet-4-Ohm~ID~15014.asp cheers.

my guitarist just got a marshall class 5, well he won it. its a nice little amp actually. sounds a bit thinner than his gigging setup, but that might just be because its a smaller amp / smaller speaker. breaks up nicely and has a pure blues tone.
