Is that one different from the last one you posted, it looks bigger.

I have the 1x12 with a bottom cab and the 1x15.

I posted a pic of the 1x15 and about 10 min later uploaded a slightly different picture of the 1x15. The one that is up there now is slightly more close up which makes it look slightly bigger. I also took the picture at closer to the height of the combo versus my height.

One problem though. The 1x15 sounds quite a bit better than the 1x12, at least at higher volume. Of course this makes sense with the 15 and larger cab.

This means any live performance duty will go to the 1x15. This means I may not need that 1x12 powered extension cab. This means I have to wait about a month for the 1x15 powered extension cabs to ship out.

Yeah, my current "gig bag" is my old lap top bag, 3-compartment, wheels, telescoping handle. The only issue is I have to remove the rubber feet to put the amp in the padded compartment. Does yours fit with the feet?

BTW, after "inspection" it was the tube heat shield, not the tube. I'll load pics later.

I hate when that happens

I agree with Chef. Pop the top off and (re)seat that tube as needed.

Yes, I have not had problems with the MB500Fusion feet, this is a classic 15" laptop bag.

I splurged and got the GK bag made for it. I figured if I'm going micro and abandoning the idea of racking stuff, I should probably get a proper bag. Anyway, fits the MB500 plus a couple of heavy gauge speakon cables and still has room for more. I usually put two instrument cables in it, as well as earplugs and other do-dads.

**Chef** · #**847** 11-16-2012, 06:23 PM

I have that bag.
Head in the bottom layer.
Top layer gets:
two speaker cables, power cable, instrument cable, fx send/return patch cables, and, strobostomp tuner/DI.
The little pocket on the outside holds the fdeck hpfIII.

Everything a boy needs.

madbassplaya · #**848** 11-16-2012, 06:31 PM

Thinking about going with a GK head for my LDS 2x15. Any thoughts?

**Chef** · #**849** 11-16-2012, 06:41 PM

Well, it's sorta like this:
The RB are "kinda more vintage, and kinda more gnarly." They biamp, if you have a cab suitable for that.

The MB are more clean, modern, hifi, but still GK.
The Fusion/MBFusion sorta split those sonic profiles.
MB's don't biamp.

It's kinda like that.

Order one of each (RB/MB), return the one you don't like.

A laptop back pack works great as well, that is what I use for my MB800, it is padded and holds my cables, a small pedalboard, and power conditioner, with room left over for a red bull and snacks, with hands free for cab and bass.

That works long term?

You have dust in the pots. Doing this can grind it out. Is it as good as disassembling it and blowing compressed air in it or whatever it is they do in the shop? Maybe not. But I find it works on all kinds of twist knobs, televisions, radios, amps, whatever.

Most pots used with music gear are actually designed to grind out dust if you twitch back and forth full range multiple-multiple times. Actually much better than spraying something into the pots. And avoid using WD40 like the plague.

Oh, hells yes. I wouldn't squirt anything in there except air.

Even better, let us be like Chubby Checker and do The Twist.

I practiced tonight with the MB115-II. It gets louder than I would have guessed and it doesn't fart out when "pushed" fairly hard, which is awesome. I was able to practice with drums no problem without a powered extension cabinet.

sumgruuvz · #**857** 11-18-2012, 10:30 AM

ok. gave the old mb800 and 410 a ride today playing along with some alice in chains. all i can say is

very nice

BlizzardBass64 · #**858** 11-18-2012, 11:35 AM

Been using GK Backline gear for years now. Served it's purpose awesomely, but I'd like to step up to better stuff. Have not tried the Neo gear yet, quality?
May I get a number please? Thank you. :-)

scottfeldstein · #**859** 11-18-2012, 12:10 PM

Looks like I'm selling the lower half of my mismatched stack: a guy is coming to check out the 410MBX this evening. I'm asking $250.

I'm actually thinking about mismatching again, believe it or not. Maybe I'll pick up a used GK 15 or 210 after the holidays. Backline 210 cabs are going for like $150. I don't think one of those would be too bad atop my Neo 212.

So the sound and volume passed your test? Very Cool!

Got an email from Musicians friend that my 410 Neo 4ohm cab is on backorder for a week but that's ok cause I wont be using it till the MB800 Fusion comes out. FYI...Today is the last day to get 15% off with the coupon code: "TAKE15" works on GK stuff

Saved $104 on the cab
