I bought the MB112. I had second thoughts about not going back to try the KB12 again. I just realized that part of the time, the rear ports of the KB12 were probably blocked and I didn't have much quiet time to try it. But I was leaning towards the MB112 enough I thought I was ready to move...

I read on their site that the speakers (drivers) are made in Stockton. A while back, I thought I read that the MB200 head was made in the USA. Close enough to me. Could be that many electronic components aren't even manufactured in the US by anyone.

I'm not the only one! Same impression. Nice setup you got. If I wasn't trying to keep the cost and weight down, I might get the same setup. Hoping to only need one trip with basses in one hand and amp in the other. I went with a double gig bag to replace two broken cases. Ends up being 27...

Thanks. I'll look into those. I have seen some kinds that just tilt it without raising it. But maybe raising it too is good if I want it primarily for my ears and not to compete with the house system.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I had visions of leveraging my existing 15" cabinet with the Rumble 200. I haven't played a rig that came up to my chest since high school. And I only need to buy the amp to get that. But it's a bit of overkill for the situations I most likely will be...

Thanks. I actually tried it last night. It has some things I like. The optional tweeter and the ability to turn it on or off. Driving the internal 15" 8 ohm speaker at 140 watts and having the option that I could add my efficient 15" cabinet for a 2x15 stack at 200 watts. It's also the only...

Not loud situations. Mostly church and in the smaller ones where there may or may not be a drummer. I suspect I won't be anywhere near the limits of these amps in situations where I don't have house support. Years ago, I managed fine with the first generation Hartke Kickback 12 in a full rock...

Thanks! I'll add "other" if I can figure out how to do it. I looked at the Peavey online. It has a lot of power for the price but twice the weight that I was hoping to cart around. And for fitting a 15" combo into my smaller car, only the Rumble 200 is "undeep" enough to fit.

I have been in the ampless club for a dozen years or more. Played with high quality headphones or in ear monitors with large house system doing the heavy lifting. Then in smaller venue, reasonably good PA support that I could hear my self fine for where they had be in the mix. But now I am...

I have been playing direct to PA for the last dozen years or more. I have recently moved into situations where I don't have in ear monitors or trusted sound support. So I am shopping for an amp mainly for monitoring with house support or to carry the sound in quiet to medium gigs if needed...
