I have one and two MB150S combos, (recently scored the second one for super low $349 at Guitar Center West Hollywood on a new closeout with a $100 coupon). I have the extension cab, second owner, bought several years ago to pair with the older MB150S. I like the little cab for its light...

Though I cannot afford it (semi-jobless for a year), I too hit the local GCs here in SoCal over past weekend and earlier. I found largely empty stores and very helpful salespeople everywhere, including Hollywood, South Bay, Covina and Rancho Cucamonga. I get around, which is easier if you work...

I agree with seventy's knowledgable assessment of the Squier TB bass, and I will add my perspective. After recently selling a MM Sterling bass (real one, not the new import), a very nice instrument that I simply needed a change from, I was killing time at a samash and saw the Squire VM Telebass...

Well, got a deal at Guitar Center Hollywood last weekend. Walked in and saw a Gallien Krueger MBS150 III, the little 90-to-150 watt 12-inch combo favored by jazzers, for clearance price of $449.00. And, I had a postcard coupon for 20% or $100 off max, which the salesman cheerfully applied...

I'm running my LMII through one aguilar gs112. Sounds very good. Describe as smooth, centered in lower mid range. Not aggressive. I have run various GK heads through the same cab and had typical (typically good, that is) GK sound, more modern, midrange and higher voiced, further throw. I like...

More than good enough for a good-enough project bass. Buy a cheap one for $109, plain color. Keep expectations low. And, most of all, do not be a moron like me. A big moron, which I am. I got a nice black SPJ bass, could not get the nexk just right and erred by filing down a high fret. Then two...

Liljawn, you are living my life ... small scale, hifi tone, quality in small package. My GK MBS 150 does all of that, with a wooly GK touch as well. I have the extension cab, too, (MBX 112) and I rarely use it. I have modular gear that I bring or leave at home depending on the size of gig, but...

In my humble opinion ... I would repeat Bill Mason's opinions. I would add that true coffee/gallery rigs would include a nice used GK MBS150 ($500 or less) that would do fine in any small room and be easy to tote and can be tied to any 8 ohm extension cab for power and flex and which has...

LMII is a modern classic, without challenge for power, quality and price-to-value. No brainer. Cabinets are more subjective, and subect to preference. I like the modern, smooth sound of a LM head tied to any LM cabinet. Like other reviewers, I believe an LM head/cab combination comes alive in a...

The little mark is strong and loud. All of the rated power (300/500) appears to be available. It runs cool and pushes speakers hard. I use it with an Aguilar 112GS and my sense is the amp really wants to drive two of them at four ohms. I've paired with with other four ohm cab combinaitons and it...

Yes, I have one, purchased on Ebay about three years ago for around $200. It is a very useful item, though not in ways I expected. I have found (and other reviewers at various sites have commented as well) that adding the extension cab to my MBS 150s (highly recommended item) does not...
