I'm selling a G-K MB150-S III. Used by non-acoustic player, but only for rehearsals and small gigs in jazz/latin/folklorical settings. I know you upright players like these, so I've jumped over to your side of the tracks for this listing...

This is one of the all-time great grab-and-go combos, favored by upright bassists in all contexts, and by many electric players for rehearsal, small gigs, or as a stage unit when relying on PA support. Only 26 pounds, with an aluminum body that is virtually indestructible. Bought it used but virtually new, and in the two years I've had it, it's seen moderate use but never abuse. Whenever I have it out of the house I marvel at how effective a solution these amps are - with a great DI, four-band tone controls and three filter options, this is a really flexible unit for stage or studio use. There's also an on-board compressor, but I never use it.
