Bloody hell, such a shame RIP Pete, long may your basses be played and loved

What music are you playing and how loud is your band? I have an MB200 and have totally drowned out our drummer when going thru an uber-sensitive 2x12 or 2x15; conversely I did a gig with no PA support and a single 1x15 which was just not enough. For jazz gigs, no problem; for rock gigs with no PA support, I'd say no. My main head is the MB Fusion btw, which I bought after loving the MB200 so much

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1324719960' post='1477252'] Thanks everyone! I'm really chuffed to bits with it (actually enjoying playing more!). Heartily recommend these cabs. I'll try and make it to the next bassbash in the SE so you can try it out Have a great Christmas and new year!! [/quote] Great cab, had a great big sh*t-eating grin on my face last night at our gig, it seems every gig I do it sounds better. Bring it to the next SE Bash and we had to find a 2 ohm amp head and drive them both

Status Groove 5 string, thigh my Shark 5 makes up for it now

[quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1323994596' post='1469732'] And suddenly you are not in a Rock Band and do need the tweeter. Let's junk the cab and buy something else. [/quote] Buy a cab with a tweeter then turn it off if you don't need it and then when you do you have it maybe....?

Damn that looks good with the silver cloth! Nice one dude

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1323870132' post='1468009'] I shall bump my Fusion on the Amps for sale section now! [/quote] Good plan! Buy this amp, it's a bargain

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1323869252' post='1467984'] Must admit, I couldn`t see why GK would make The Fusion not GK-sounding. I suppose said guy meant the added warmth was unlike GK? [/quote] Pissobly

The MB Fusion is an awesome amp, it's a bit warmer and fatter sounding (IMO) than the MB500 but still has the GK growl

I've never used the "old school" GK gear, only their MB series but it has blown me away. They seem to have the GK growl and bite just like their bigger amps (based on recordings of bassists using the big stuff!) but I can't really compare accurately. All I know is they are clean and clear when you want and gnarly and dirty when you want that instead

SWR Amplite is a class D power amp

Jealous and I own one, haha!

I use a Barefaced S12T so will naturally suggest that, it is an astonishingly good cab. I've had three Barefaced cabs in my time and this is the best of a great bunch Of the three I think the BF or Berg will hold its value best probably but I have no practical experience of the Berg or Genz Benz I'm afraid.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1323531026' post='1464280'] My most righteous rig of all now comprises a [b][color=#ff0000]Super 12[/color] + [color=#008000]Compact [/color]+ [color=#0000ff]Midget[/color][/b]. I've had to buy an 1100W power amp to do it justice. Now all I need is that gig at the O2 ... [/quote] You madman! The S12 is a stonking cab, why would you need more than that on its own?! What amp are you aiming for? I'm now running an S12 with a GK MB Fusion and I have been reliably informed by everyone that it is the best sound I've had

[quote name='Protium' timestamp='1323370469' post='1462687'] Tim C? Nah, Carol Kaye recorded bass on this album [/quote]

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1323016603' post='1458308'] Although last week on Later he was using GK. [/quote] I believe either the Acoustic deal is no more or he's just using GK over here as it's easier to source. Threads on TB about it but I got bored of them

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1323008854' post='1458204'] I've not checked the web, but I would have thought the config would have been prior to then? [/quote] Good point, I guess they (claim they) did the first bass-specific 4x10 but the format no doubt predates them.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1323005702' post='1458133'] So which company started the 4x10" on 1x15" stack thing? [/quote] Was it TE perchance? Didn't they claim to have made the first bass-specific 4x10?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1322940928' post='1457626'] I have used /owned/stolen various makes and model of each and a 1x15 has always been bassier to the ear (not interested about the technical bit) than 4x10 with or without tweeters. [/quote] Not being interested in the technical bit is the problem. You're completely misunderstanding WHY you think the 15 is bassier than the 4x10. Ah well

Does your 4x10 have a tweeter and if so is it on?
