obviously I am late to this party, but it’s clear lots of folks don’t understand your MB/MBP situation. The answer is yes… an mbp115 will work with an mb112. I have an mb112 and an mbp112 for larger gigs. I really want an mbp115 because when I need extra volume I’d like it to be a 15” along with...

i would say used Fender Mexican precision or jazz bass.

Hi… who can tell me what Fender basses have v necks? I have an American elite jazz bass that plays great… modern c I believe. But I didn’t know v neck basses were a thing. To me, v necks feel so good it’s almost cheating… where can I find one… not really interested in swapping necks or anything...

Post-script to this thread: 2 mile high spike and I worked out an arrangement and I now have my GK 1x12 MBP. Sounds great and I’ll probably need the extra cab once or twice a year if I’m lucky. In the meantime it’ll look really cool sitting in my basement

Follow up.... I played for a while at a closer-to-stage volume, and my amp isn’t picking up (and reproducing) all my noise. I have a decent amount of headroom on my GK Mb112 and powered extension mbp cab (which I love) and if I let it do the work for me I can drive it pretty hard. Perhaps...

Thank you, all.... my biggest takeaway so far... bass picks are a real thing. Never knew that. All I have now is the snap of a blue tortex

Hello, All— I am a guitarist mostly, who plays bass on a handful of tunes in my band. I bought my own rig recently: a used American Jazz Bass deluxe. I’m wondering if you can diagnose a playing problem for me. When I play bass I try not to use a pick, but when I use my fingers, my E string...

I have a vintage Gibson EB. It sounds and plays like $hit. I feel like I should love it, but I don’t.

Thanks. The reverb one in Ohio is sold. I’ll kick myself if that sold recently (I don’t think it did). I’m in Minnesota.

If anyone is still following this thread... I am looking for an MBP cab, and in 2021 they are really hard to find. I have an mb112 and want a supplement for special occasions. I don’t need 500 watts of 2x12 (or the $800 price tag)....but that appears to be the only MBP cab GK makes. But an extra...

Hi, All— I recently bought a GK MB112 and I haven’t gotten to try it out on stage. With good reviews and 200 watts, I bought it thinking it’d be a little powerhouse for most gigs and easily expandable via the powered extension cabs. Well it turns out the cabinets aren’t exactly on every street...

Thanks for the help. I used to play with a guy who played with a low B string. I didn’t like it. It’s almost like the notes were too low to tell if they were even correct. He’d play a 1-5 country box in E and I couldn’t tell if it was even in tune. So...4 string for me. In my area there’s a guy...

Hello: There’s literally another thread exactly like this from 8 hours ago from a new guy who used to play the guitar. I have some gear questions. I play in a cover band and my bass player and I switch a lot so I decided to get my own rig instead of passing a bass back and forth. AMP: I just...
