Marvin Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I may have posted asking about these before. [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/products_mbCombos.html"]GK website, MB combos[/url] Has anyone got any experience of them? They seem a very good price for what you get, under £500 at most places. However, some of the reviews I've read there have been concerns about reliability - mainly speakers, uhum, farting. Didn't know if anyone could shed some light on these. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 The 2x12" cab is on my list of possibles so would be interesting to hear any first hand issues. I've done a lot of reading over on Talkbass and didn't hear anything bad but it seems everyone there plays in some kind of praise and worship band which I can't imagine gets very loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM SG1 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I have had my MB210 quite a while now, I think its a great amp, cant go wrong for the money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT3781 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 we had one in the shop, sold it about a month ago.. good amp for the money.. wouldn't trust it on its own with a loud band.. but for samll to medium gigs its great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I was looking at these as well not so long back. I decided against it simply due to the lack of reviews and the usual "it looks too good to be true" philosophy! Personally, I'd save some dough and get Lysdesxias Ashdown ABM combo or similar.

AndyTravis Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Loved these when the Polar Audio guy showed it me, only gripe was the Horn being ON or OFF. But other than that, i was well impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 The 2x12 combo looks pretty much perfect, but I'd really want to hear one - wonder if they'll have it at the London Bass Show? Hmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM SG1 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have had my GK MB210 a long time now and it still sounds great, no problems and I have just decided to treat it to an MBE115 extension cabinet, the MB210 already has fantastic sound so should be awesome with a 115 as well . I have bought some proper accoustic egg crate type foam to line the cabinet of the MB210 as the lack of lining has been said to cause some boomyness, I will report my findings when I have done this very minor mod, but so far I will give the MB210 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM SG1 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 My new GK MBE115 8ohm cab arrived yesterday, it makes a huge difference, I wish I had got one before and not wasted all those months waiting for the MBE210 to become available (which it still isnt !), it cost £240 and took 4 days to get here from Thomann in Germany, very good service and excellent communications . I now have a great looking and sounding rig which I can carry from car to stage in two hands without killing my back !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Nice setup! I remember pointing these combos out to you a while back...I hope its worked out because the price is just fantastic! Im shocked at how cheap they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
