Thanks. Guitar Center just has the 4 ohm version - apparently I need the 8 ohm version of either the 115MBE or 210MBE for an extension to the MB210. I don't see any on Musician's Friend, and I've been Googling quite a bit. But I'll keep looking, I guess.

I have a G-K MB210 combo, a couple of years old, that I'm pretty happy with. It has the metallic grille - but I noticed that last year G-K changed the look of its entire MB line to a black cloth front. I want to pick up either a 210MBE or 115MBE extension cab, but most online retailers seem to...

Thanks. I have since read that wiring the pickup backwards probably wouldn't produce these symptoms anyhow. The NTBT has a push/pull volume knob that switches between active and passive, and I was experience the same problem with both - sort of ruled out the active trim and the battery as...

Forgive me folks, I'm a total beginner on DIY instrument wiring but read enough on these forums to believe I could pull it off. I have an Ibanez GWB-35, and have read a great many posts here and elsewhere recommending pickup and preamp upgrades to boost the volume/headroom and get a richer...

May have worked out an alternative deal. 1. I buy mic & stand ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) and mixer (Behringer XENYX 802 Mixer: Shop Pro Audio & Other Musical Instruments | Musician's Friend). 2. Keyboardist buys powered speaker (Kustom KPC12MP 12" Powered Monitor Speaker: Shop Pro...

LOL. Everyone is really worried about vocal EQ, I guess. Guitarst's mic-in on his looper is, necessarily, pre-EQ on his guitar amp. So I'd be ahead of that game anyhow. Will price-compare a little mixer with the mic preamp - but I was under the impression that the built-in mic preamp in a...

Sorry, I should also clarify - we don't do paid gigs. We play largely for our own entertainment, and frankly the drummer and I had a hard time finding somebody who could sing and play guitar at a decent skill level without wanting to be some kind of pro. I'm not a pro. I'm a lawyer who (lately)...

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. Let me clarify a few things: 1. The drummer is self-amped because he has an electric kit. 2. We're not getting a PA. I know it would be better, but we just aren't. I've looked into it. I don't have the storage (live downtown / no car) and would frankly...

Correction (and bump): just looked at the MB210 wiring diagram, and it appears that the AUX in on that amp is post EQ but pre master volume knob. Has nobody ever tried this? If I get a basic mic preamp with 300 ohm output impedance, will that be too hot for an input designed to accept the...

Wanted to run something by all you wonderful gear experts. I play bass in a 4-piece cover band that is an on-again, off-again kind of deal. Drummer and keyboardist are modestly self-amped. Guitarist is also lead vocalist, and he tends to run his mic through this mic in on his looper pedal so...

This is a difficult claim to assess. Insofar as the average carbon footprint of American *people* generally exceeds that of people most anyplace else in the world, who is to say that artificially keeping jobs in the USA is ecologically beneficial? An American worker employed at a G-K plant will...
