Clarky Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I bought this amp with a view to a having a compact plug-and-play head for my double bass (which would also sound good with electric bass) after seeing lots of rave reviews on TalkBass and BassChat. Unfortunately, while it sounds ace for electric bass (see the thread stated by Nottswarwick), try as I might (shifting pickup etc) I can only get a decent sound out of it with DB with a preamp placed in front - which is not really why I bought it. Thanks to Keith (Mr_Bassman), Roger (Bassace) and others who are happy with their MB200 for DB and who made helpful suggestions about how to improve the sound but maybe I'm just an incompetent - or my DB and pickup combination just didn't work with it. I am going back to a MarkBass F1 amp instead, which I know worked for me with DB before (and has more oomph for electric bass), and putting this up for sale. It cost me £206 a week ago from SoundsLive [url="http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Gallien-Krueger_MB200_Bass_Amp_Head/GK-MB200"]http://www.soundsliv...p_Head/GK-MB200[/url] and I will do for £180 posted (in original packaging). Its in pristine nick so here's a stock pic [attachment=98644:ProductDetailImage.jpg] Edited January 30, 2012 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ps, would do a very good deal if anyone wanted to buy the head together with my Acme Low B2 2x10 cab (which I had on sale for £280), although this would require collection/meet-up as I don't have a box for the cab.

Clarky Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Read about how much people love this amp: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165637-gallien-krueger-mb-200-cant-believe-how-good-it-sounds/page__hl__mb200 PS, I am in London and can hand over the amp for a tenner less than the stated FS price (ie £170) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
