ah I can read mb800 now that I am not on my iphone.....I know he was waiting for the 800 fusion for a long time now.

Figure this is a good place to ask: Whats are some differences between the MBE and Neo series for GK? Also is the MBX any different? all these different names make it confusing to try and buy the right cab

bi-amp-ability for use with RB series heads: only the neos do that
horn attenuator for neo vs on/off switch for mbe

Thanks , also are they different quality? in the used sections im looking at the neos are a bit more expensive, Im going to be using a mb500 head, so would the neo work out better?

[B-string]

Also MBEs have a piezo horn with no crossover. Same cone NEOs as the NEO series. NEO series have a dynamic horn with crossover and attenuator (adjustable horn output.
MBX are obsolete, they used ceramic drivers instead of NEOs no HMS "biamp".

Alright so it seems MbX < MBE < Neo, or something like that? Also I've been looking for a goo 1x15 at GC used and ive seen this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/In-Store...34-i2690928.gc

and this:

http://www.guitarcenter.com/In-Store...03-i2761525.gc

The first one has a different brand thing on top, its a straight line instead of the oval, and the second looks like it has a different grill, any way to tell if which version neos they are? like I or II?

[Toolmybass]

They are built pretty stout.....might hurt you teeth .
Make sure it is a cab local to you, GC is not known for packing skills when shipping.

dang...its not local. Theres nothing that covers that sort of thing ?

[B-string]

Sure the shipping insurance will cover your loss (ship to store is a good idea if one is close) but that won't bring back a damaged cab? It is a roll of the dice (just trying to warn you of potential grief?).

Think cliff burton.

Worked on that tone tonight, reconfigured my mids on the amp. With that and the comp, I was almost there. Seems like the comp is where it's at to smooth out the clankiness from digging in that I find necessary to get that sound. When I added the Bad Monkey, I definitely got a Cliff Burton tone, which is perfect for our cover of For Whom The Bell Tolls. Tried the comp last in the chain as well, started sounding very ODish by the end of practice, even with the Bad Monkey off. First time it's been in that spot and first time with that problem. Think they're related? I put it back at the start of the chain for tomorrow. I'd love some of your thoughts, and I'll post results tomorrow night. Thanks!

Hey all, here's a pic of my almost complete rig. Minus a GK SBX plus that's in the shop. It'll be here though. What do you guys think?

[gregmon79]

410 SBX plus I meant.

[B-string]

SWEET!

a word on buying long distance from GC, especially something heavy where you pay the shipping- it does not matter what the guy in the store tells you as to the shape of the piece, if they want to dump a non working, blown, screwed up cab or head or pedal on you, you'll end up paying the shipping. So your (let's say for a heavier cab ) little experiment will cost you $40 . They do not refund this money, you'll get a refund for the purchase price, but not the shipping.

back to GK..any word on NAMM things? I am not going this year.

[El-Bob]

Hey guys, I just got my 400RB back from repairs today.

I have what is probably a stupid question about cabs: I have a 4x10 cab, and a 2x10, each is 8ohms (they're both yorkville's. same speakers and whatnot).

If I put them together, it would be 4 ohms, but the speakers in the 2x10 would each be receiving twice as much power as any of the 4x10 speakers, so it would be a bad idea, correct?
