I'm beginning to think the GK MBE210 doesn't really exist!

Sign in to disble this ad
I've heard rumor after rumor that this thing will be coming out, but so far it keeps getting pushed back and pushed back to the point of being silly.

I need an extension cab for my MB210. The reason I bought that one was so that I could add a cab. I've been told to wait until the MBE line comes out, but seriously... are those things going to ever see the light of day?

I'm thinking it's time to change my plans to a different cab....any suggestions?

Check with RAG and see when they are shipping =)

I'd consider just buying another MB210 though, also.

I'm curious about the delays as well but I'm broke anyway so the wait is ok for me. If you don't want to invest in another MB210, search for a deal on a used cab to fill the role for the time being.

I would only dump my MB210 and change if they ditched the idea of the 210MBE altogether.

It's unfortunate really. I was holding out as long as I could as I was going to buy a pair of these to have a modular rig. I just couldn't wait any longer and ended up buying a different brand.

I think the problem is that they been advertised as existing for a long time now. If I didn't know about them, maybe a pair of NEO 2x10s would have been in the running, but knowing that the lighter more compact MBEs were (supposedly) going to be available struck the neo 2x10 off my list..

yeah unfortunately this was about a month ago.. I don't know what Stockton is, but on the Guitar Center/Musician's Friend etc sites etc the date just keeps getting bumped up. Last time it was July 30th, and now it says Aug 13th...

If you have a link to where someone could buy one right now I'll bet there'd be a lot of happy campers out there!

The 210 NEO, while a bit more pricey, is an excellent cab choice for this application.

I understand now that Guitar Center will not be stocking the mbe210. That's going to put a further strain on the available stock for those places that do have it.

I have no idea how many back orders exist. Once those are filled, how long until more are shipped?

What should I look for if I decide to not be patient? A NEO 2x10 or Neo 4x10 perhaps? Probably not a GLX
