Gallien-Krueger MB Fusion 800 Waiting Room....

MB Fusion 800?.......What 500 isn't enough for ya?

 

Must it be? Is there some sort of social stigma against having a higher-powered amp?

Curious about the MB800 myself. I didn't wait so i got the MBfusion which I'm sure you know cause i have done nothing else but bragged about it here. I won't rush to get the Fusion 800 but I would like to get it eventually.

 

I don't want the extra power, but some of the features sure would be nice. I particularly like the idea of the volume ratio knob rather than two separate volume knobs. I can never turn up or down fast enough on a gig and keep the channels balanced.

 

I know exactly what you mean, but you have to do the best you can before you start. I know things change as the volume of the band changes. My bass has two separate bass knobs and thats exactly what I wanted but boy at times I miss that knob which adjusts the front and back PU. When the Fusion 800 finally comes out I am sure i will get it sometime also.

Hah, great idea for a thread! I find myself checking Talkbass daily hoping that someone will announce that it is shipping.
I pre-ordered mine back in September. I sold my SVT classic rig back in August as my band was taking a short hiatus. I figured that the MBFusion 800 would be in my hands by the time the band regrouped, but I was wrong.
In preparation for my [naive] expected November arrival of the MBF800, I picked up a GK Neo 115 and 210. I've borrowed a friend's mb200 to test out the cabs, but I still haven't heard them together. I'm at the point now where I'm considering picking up a GB streamliner for rehearsals. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have a backup head. I'm considering the streamliner instead of the mbfusion500 because I find it hard to justify having two very similar amps once the mbf800 is released.
I would much rather use that money to fund a new bass, though. I also saved a bunch of money by switching rigs!
Holding my breath for a January release...

 

I'm in !! Love my MB fusion and will just keep it as a back up amp when I get the 800

 

Oh, my! What would the neighbors think?

With a full 4x12 cab, you're going to want the extra 300 watts of headroom. Trust me.

But I gotta say, that sounds like some smart purchasing to me. GK continues to impress - with some of the greatest "bang for buck" ratios in the business. The MB Fusion 800 + GK Neo 4x12 cab with a Spector bass is really going to rock!

I think the Fusion 800 is going to be a big hit. The Fusion 500 is a hit with me and Im sure I will -eventually-get the 800 also. The people on TB will talk so highly of it the gas will be overwhelming. GK has really been careful releasing this amp because they have pushed it back...... I hope all is well when the first ones come out. TK you can be TB's guinea pig. Only Kidding Only Kidding. GK isn't a company that will let out anything it can't back up as we all can see.
You will be one of the first reviewers.

 

Yea RMC is sending out letters to all those which were interested with the MB fusion 800. It may be march but originally it was last june or july. Maybe those going to NAMM can get some answers.
