Question GK Neo 210 + 115 or GK MBE 410?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys
I've sold my Ashdown Mag 410 because I want a lighter cab, and now I've only a GK Neo 210 for small gigs.
My head is a GK MB500 and I use 4 and 5 strings basses.
Now I want to buy another cab for big gigs, and I need help to make the right choice.

What is the best choice?

1) buy a GK 115 Neo- III to match with the Neo 210
2) Buy a GK MBE 410 (4 ohm)

(the price of MBE 410 and NEO 115 is the same(thomann))

thanks for the advices

Keep the GK 2x10. Pick up a GK Neo 112-II. Soon as budget enables, get a second one.

Use the 2x10 for personal practice, rehearsals, small gigs, and maybe recording. Use the (2) 1x12 mini-stack for larger gigs.

I read TONS of stickys on mixing cabs & the general consensus is it may or may not work, it also depends on the room & where you are in it due to phasing creating peaks and vallys in sound. Best to match cabs exactly but u can get away with mixing.

I would get a matching 2x10 and stack them vertically.

Have not played the GK neo 210. But with the MB500, the GK Neo 115-III is my favorite cab these days. Does the B well and is focused up top. I have an Avatar B210 Neo and I am probably going to flip it for a second Neo 115. I can get warmth, punch, and definition. The Avatar 210 in comparision is just sorted blah.
