gsgbass Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Anyone using a GK MB115-II 200W Combo? I'm contemplating getting one for that 15" sound. I would appreciate any pros, or cons. Thanks in advance folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I had one of these - for about two weeks. It was one of the Chinese-built ones. It was nicely finished and had a useful feature set. Even the piezo tweeter didn't sound that bad and I rather liked the GK 'growl'. The bad news started when I took a look inside. The driver had the smallest magnet I've ever seen on a speaker (well nearly!). It was really cheap and nasty. The cab itself was made from half-inch poplar or some other lightweight ply and constructed using staples and heat glue. The ply had obvious voids in it. The staples had missed the bracing in a couple of places and the brace rattled when you tapped it. It sounded quite good at low volumes but as soon as I turned the volume control up the cabinet vibrated in sympathy and it just sounded annoying. It was light, but that's because it was build like a packing crate - although it's not alone in that respect and there are lots of bassists out there using boxes like this and loving them. I didn't waste any time getting rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I heard some pretty negative comments on the GK MB115-ll Combo. Power switches jamming, etc. He was more agreeable to the TC E 250. I may have to check out the TC E more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I spent more than I was prepared to, but I went with the TC Electronic RH450 head, with the TC E BC410 cab. I thought the 410's had a bit better clarity at lower volumes, and cranked rather well at higher volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
