After a couple of months of owning a MB200 I absolutely agree that it's definately the ultimate at home practice amp.It's amazing for what it is!For small gigs into a 4ohm Dr.Bass 115 the MB200 is definately louder & fuller sounding than the Ampeg B100R that I was previously using. OTOH-For...

There is an almost mint USA Ampeg B100R at my local shop www.parkwaymusic.com They will ship to Canada-Great shop that is 100% trustworthy.Not sure if the amp is on their website but give 'em a call.......(no affiliation)

I love the tone of GK heads & am a big GK fan.I currently own 5 GK's.4 of them work & sound great.One has a blown power supply and isn't cost effective to fix.The older GK's are total workhorses & seem to last forever. OTOH IME-I've seen quite a few newer GK's that tend to develop problems...

I've been playing on & off with a Judas Priest Tribute Band for 10 years now www.british-steel.net We try to cop the look the best we can because we feel it's essential to have the look part down(as well as the sound!)It's getting tougher & tougher to book tribute band gigs these days, we still...

Thanks for the responses so far. From what has been said and also from what GK has told me about needing to replace the power amp board.Would it make sense to order the board from GK and have it installed by a local tech.Are the power amp boards simple/easy plug-ins? (this way it would...

Several weeks ago I had a GK 400RB IV suddenly shut down on a gig mid-set.The led light now goes from red to off and the amp produces no sound.Normally these amps go from red to blue and the amp turns on.I called GK and they told me the fix for this would to send it to GK & likely it will need a...

Hey Angus-I just got your PM(the TB messaging system is doing weird things w/my computer) I am still interested & want the amp!Please e-mail me at my e-mail address so that we can firm up details Thanks-Scott : [email protected]

My local Guitar Center seems to be a dumping ground of broken used gear.Half the time the used gear is broken &/or doesn't work.Last week I bought an older used GK 1001RB for $199.Worked fine in the store.Got it home and after 30 minutes the volume dropped & it started making all sorts of crazy...

OK I'll send ya PM again-Let me know if ya get it this time!

PM sent!

I have had an MB200 for about 3 weeks now & really like the tone of it.Sounds like a GK!I'm guessing it will be perfect for low to medium volume gigs.Also it's perfect to bring to gigs in my case as a spare emergency amp in the event that my main gigging amp breaks down(GK RB400 IV)Which is...

Get an Eminence BASSLITE® C2515-I replaced the OEM Speaker in my Ampeg SVT115E cab with a C2515 and it totally rocks.Sounds WAY better than before.Clearer & punchier all the way around.Plus it lightened up the weight cab a lot.Best thing I could have done to that cab IMO.

Just picked an older tube Trace Quatra Valve amp up & don't know much about it.Previously I had never seen one of these in person before(only pics).What I do know is that it's Pre-Gibson 220 Watts has got 4 KT88's & 2 12AX7 tubes in it.Got a punchy but clear tone.A unique tone all to it's...

The Beta sounds decent.Am definately holding onto & keeping the original Jenson. Honestly can't tell what year this one was manufacturered.No visible serial numbers anywhere.It appears to be pre-light up plexi-logo.There is no evidence that a light up logo was ever intended for this...

Reconing is definately an option. Update-I met with the tech today & he showed me why the OEM SVT Eminence 15' speaker wouldn't work in the B-15.It's got a cast frame that is thicker than the original 60's Jenson.As a result of the cast frame being thicker,the mounting screws would not fit...
