    Double Bass 1980's GK200 MB refurbish

    Don looks great. You might want to give the NEUTRIK Cap plug a whirl. It alters the Wilson in really good ways.

    poopie it doesn't? also why do my boutique amps with a HPF turned way up sound much better but not the kind of tight punchy of the 200 mb (I used to have the 150MBS in the 90's and the EXt cab but that was a long time ago... I remember liking it with a WW100M though...the ext cab...)

    Hey FDeck my man. You are so real. Let's make one. I agree with you 100%. Does not have to be the circuit, so many good heads and pre's our there and I have plugged all my pre's into this thing and while the IS some serious sauce between the two, I think the real thing about it is just what you...

    Double Bass 1980's GK200 MB refurbish

    So I just spent some time A/B/C ing the GR acoustic cube and the GK200mb and the Grace Felix/MAS 18 and it is super apparent what I am hearing and liking from the 200MB: what it does better then boutique full range HIFI combos is it radiates it's sound so much faster and broader and more...

    Thanks to Winston my man, I now have twin 200mb’s. My thought was that I would keep the amp for parts and use the speaker cab as an extension cab like I saw my old teacher Darek Oles do at his power trio gig. But Winston basically gifted me this fine perfectly excellent (in fact he did a great...

    I am absolutely loving this amp. Dang. I think I prefer it to my GR. Yes it hums, yes it rattles, but the sound that comes out when you are playing with other musicians, specifically the sound 'I hear' is killing. It looks killing sitting there at a gig...not too intrusive. I have plugged all my...

    Man the Yamahiko AND the Wilson K1 sound great thru this amp ESPECIALLY with the Neutrik tone plug set to mellow. But really this amp has something very fine in the way it sits with other instruments.

    Double Bass Neutrik Variable Timbre Plug

    Yeah Earl good call on this plug. Having the three possibilities shows the differences unequivocally. Seems to work well on piezos (EAP is less pronounced) Curiously sounded best on the Yama with it all the way on (...even after I noticed that I was using the jack with a cap already...

    Anybody have any opinions on the sound of the last 150mb (series 3 i think) to the 200 mb?

    Double Bass 1980's GK200 MB refurbish

    interesting what he says about the punchy-ness of the GK gear. It was so true yesterday. My GRAC has a "better" "bigger" tone with lots more of everything but it was SO easy to hear myself yesterday and the way the sound developed on stage so that I could make use of it was so excellent. I am...

    Did a trio gig with this amp today. I totally love it! It sounded phat and perfect. So narrow that it can go back up against the wall and be heard perfectly. I so forgot about this wonderful amp. (with the Redeye out front it is perfectly Impedance balanced). plenty of volume for a guitar trio...
