Help! Hartke Hydrive 112c, Gallien Kreuger BACKLINE 112 or Roland DBass 115

[JMonta]

I need help choosing for a new amp between the Hartke Hydrive 112c, the Gallien Kreuger BACKLINE 112 and the Roland DBass 115, and I wanted to know if someone could give me advice.

I need the amp for playing in small gigs and practicing but need enough to compete with loud guitars and drums.
The price is not the matter here because I can get the 3 of them at a very similar price.

Hartke was my first choice, but I recently went to a music store and find the Gallien Kreuger backline 112 witch I like, but has very bad reviews, and someone is selling me a Roland DBass 115 witch is bigger and has more watts, but roland isn't my favorite brand

I would actually look at the new GK MB 112 or MB115 The 115 has been getting good reviews on TB the 112 is brand new GK is listing the 112 at $299 and the 115 at $399 so the price should be competitive with the others you are looking at. I have the bigger brother MB 210 and love it.

the roland d bass is excellent in both versions of 2 x10 or the 1 x15 --- i have the 2x10 model & the powered 15 --- either set up sounds good but together they are pretty impressive. What i liked about the system was it sits in the mix of the band without getting in the way of the guitar or vocals but still sounds full range. They are bulky but will sit ez in the backseat of a full size car---- the 2x10 sits pretty good in an HHR. and they are light around 50lbs each with controls & power amp. hope this helps a little.
